Tariffs = Tax = Higher Prices. I'm getting emails from ecommerce companies warning of price increases. “It is the maxim of every prudent master of a family, never to attempt to make at home what it will cost him more to make than to buy.” — Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations #tariffs
Fundamental. There are always options for decomposability in just about any system.
Rick Marriner@rickmarriner.com · last yr.Herbert Simon’s scientific “parable of the two watchmakers” illustrates how modular design enhances efficiency and resilience in complex systems. Is this principle still relevant in today’s data science practices? It feels resilient and evolutionary. #ComplexSystems #ModularDesign

Quantum computing and data science... a match made in tech heaven? Sara A. Metwalli's latest article explores how these 2 fields intersect and why data scientists should care about quantum advancements.
Should Data Scientists Care About Quantum Computing? | Towards Data Science
I am sure the quantum hype has reached every person in tech (and outside it, most probably). With some over-the-top claims, like “some company has proved quantum supremacy,” “the quantum revolution…

This resonates ... for 20+ years, I've embraced ANN only as as a very lose metaphor for how our human brains work. But in the last 2 years I couldn't help but notice more and more similarities.
Scott McGrath@smcgrath.phd · 2y ago🧪 Researchers from MIT, Harvard, and NYU found human brains and AI neural networks represent information similarly, despite distinct architectures. This suggests intelligence converges when solving shared challenges, like language or vision. 🩺💻 #MLSky
