From personal experience making the same comparisons during undergrad, I think it just comes down to the availability of conceptual models. If the brain does X, there's a good chance that a computer does something that looks like X, or that X could be recreated through steps Y & Z, etc.

Once I started to realize just how much of the brain is inscrutable, because it is a machine operating on chemicals instead of strict electrical processing, I became a lot more reluctant to draw those comparisons

All of which occurred under the management of Toshiba, no? And Westinghouse is now owned by Cameco, as a more vertically-integrated uranium & nuclear company

Depends how insolvent it is

Here's a few:

* Matthew Klein & Michael Pettis - Trade Wars Are Class Wars

* Bruno Latour - We Have Never Been Modern

* Thomas Kuhn - The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (had never read it before, probably book of the year for me)

and of course, Matt Levine's Money Stuff, which is good every year!

Afaik the bonds are issued by the PE firms executing the deal, and it's taken many months to close. The debt has sat on bank books for a significant portion of time, so the yields are reflective of the price needed to unload them in the current market vs a market that was more conducive to the offering when the deal was initially agreed upon

I've become more and more fond of Notion over the last few months. The composition of "blocks" is very nice, and even things like how indentation is done makes a huge difference in taking notes. I can manage meal planning, grocery lists, todos, essay drafts, and software projects all in one tool.

It's also very easy to interlink things and make notes as verbose or minimal as you like from page to page. I can define an item in my weekly todos but then link to a project page that's part of a kanban board that has more context. Overall the UX just feels really elegant compared to everything else I've tried to use.

Most surprising part of this FOMC had to be when Powell said "we would like to slow demand" during the press conference, you don't usually hear the quiet part out loud like that from this Fed chair. Also shift upwards in PCE in the SEP, plus the dots, all seems appropriately hawkish

I think the reason is that LibraryThing is significantly less UX-friendly than Goodreads. I use both; I use Goodreads to track what I consider "personal" reading, and I use LibraryThing to track what I consider "technical", but the big reason I have it broken down like this is because LibraryThing is just not as friendly to a user as the alternatives.

This is something I've seen with copilot with market data.

I was creating a unit test in a Go codebase and I had dumped the JSON that I was going to be decoding at the top of the file, and when I started writing the assertions, Copilot was very quick to use the data from the JSON, with quite high accuracy, based solely on me typing which ticker I was going to assert against.

tachyons is excellent, nice to have a small library and build from there
