I think I asked whether they got *anything* right
At EE2025 @jamesking asked what Kahneman and Tversky got right. Using two-sentence stories is one thing. So here's a two-sentence EE story. We asked quantitatively trained economists to complete a gambling task. When we gave them time to think about it, they did worse.

I’ve long hypothesized that ‘life is the universe developing a memory’. This is the basis of Assembly Theory (AT) and Philip Ball has written an article about AT published here in Quanta.

If we want to understand complex constructions, such as ourselves, assembly theory says we must account for the entire history of how such entities came to be.

I'm very excited to have joined @AdeptAILabs! We're building a universal collaborator – it's like an overlay that sits on top of all the software you use. You can hand off tasks to it by just... asking. Below is an early preview of some things it can do!

How does this tangled line walk and how can I make it loop seamlessly? These were the questions when I was looking back at some older doodles in my sketchbook. I'm glad I revisited this idea.

Termination Shock by Neal Stevenson is really good! Most similar to Reamde in terms of style (near future, fun, not weird). Perhaps the most entertaining book about climate change? Audio book narration is superb too.
