This is a fun retrospective on technology. It’s good to stop amid the hype and hyperbole of the tech industry and take the wider view. Humbling and inspiring and grounding.

I get the criticism and resistance to AI, but its a fact that software is critical to modern life. What is happening to the cost and pace of software output now is revolutionary not evolutionary. This is a well-written explanation, with interesting evidence, of the implications this has on the pace of change in fields where software matters. It mirrors my own experience; AI does not eliminate bottlenecks, it moves them, and it is not well suited to solve those new bottlenecks - like judgment.

I think the folks at Lander Analytics do really interesting cutting edge work and share a generous amount of what they learn. My own experience using a MacStudio for multiple side by side models is similar, but I need to look into these time series models more!
