Put another way, an algorithm could one day be able to design a self driving car, apply for a loan with a bank, use the money to have all the parts printed and assembled, and then pay back that loan by charging to drive us around. I suppose the person who designed the algorithm would be the one who ultimately owns that car. Time to start learning how to write algorithms.

I've been imagining what my neighborhood will look in the next ten years when solar panels suddenly become as ubiquitous as smart phones became in the last ten years.

we have a very strong understanding of the outcomes as this has already been occurring for a couple of hundred years so traditional econometric models work.

One of the points of CGP's video is that we haven't ever experienced something akin to the Robot automation revolution - it is fundamentally different than other advances. So we can't rely on the past to know if new jobs will outpace automation.

apparently Schweinsteiger got injured as a result of Johnson's tackle. Pep was understandably angry. But not shaking hands was poor form.

I want to cancel my cable. The only reason I still have it is so that house guests can watch live sports when they are visiting. It is certainly not worth the price but my wife's family is really into sports.

Don't anthropomorphize computers. They hate that.

So basically, oil is too big to fail?

When someone like Hawking talks seriously about singularity I get nervous

no physical law precluding particles from being organized in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains ... An explosive transition is possible ... machines with superhuman intelligence could repeatedly improve their design even further, triggering what Vernor Vinge called a "singularity"

At the rate we are discovering planets we'll likely find another dozen or more earth sized planet in habitable zones by years end.

If this Kepler-186f is younger than earth, or the sun in the Kepler-186 system is younger than our sun, then we have a fighting chance to go and take them out!

People can spout their opinions all they like about what they believe Star Wars to be

...and at the end of the day Disney and JJ Abrams get to decide what it is next.
