Research summary is very good. But not seeing an abstract syntax for the distinct representational format:

  Conclusions. Our results provide evidence against the hypothesis that natural language serves as the medium of abstract logical reasoning and suggest that such reasoning is underpinned by a distinct representational format.

Nevertheless, a good read that summarizes conventional learning and reasoning methods.

I always say please and thank you. If nothing else, it keeps me balanced and appreciative. the machine may not care but i feel better pretending someone is helping me

this is the cost of getting into the movie business

Gregg helped me and my team many times - pro bono. I once made a silly typo in some code that he kindly reviewed. When he found the error, he pointed to it with a wink. Always helpful on big stuff and small stuff. His tools are first class. And I had an online dialog with him within the last 2 months and had no idea about his condition. Will miss him.

have used it for exactly the same purpose; have not found an equivalent tool/service - thank HTTrack

How did you construct that link? For example, where do these bits come from: 1.wE4.E3Qm.Fu3gorL0b1_5

I didn't construct that link: It was the link that appeared when, as a New York Times subscriber, I clicked "Share this story."

Scott Galloway made his bones with similar WeWork analysis. Once Galloway exposed the non-sustainable WeWork economics, others picked up his work and added their own spin. While WeWork would have imploded without the Galloway analysis, Scott's articles were the tipping point.

I just read Hari Seldon to find out what will happen in the future.

Great example: Gluing programs together (page 9)

Inflation is a government policy. It is a method to deflate the real value of government debt.

Like many government policies, unintended consequences generate headlines about how one policy negatively affects part of a society that another policy is working to protect.

At a macro level, government debt can only be resolved two ways: increase taxes to meet maturing obligations; reduce the real value of the obligations via inflation (and/or a combination of the two).

Future economist will have two national debt policies to analyze: Germany (with its constitutional low-debt mandate) and US which discovered over time that it could issue debt at far greater amounts than previous economist ever thought possible.
