M1 and the Fed's balance sheet are down since 2022, though. What "money printing" do you mean?
Anticipation of forthcoming lowered rates.

Perhaps our institutions could be replaced by finite lifetime endeavors, similar to vc funds.
Reminds me of us vs Japanese tv shows. Theirs often last only a season or two and the stories are good. Ours go on and on till we are sick of them.

> the city is much easier to navigate by car.
Cities stop being "easy to navigate by car" when they have too many cars around. And car-congested streets are also very hostile to bikes and pedestrians, so it's very hard to correct the problem once it gets ingrained. So it makes sense to give the latter uses high priority, and keep car use as a rare exception.
Therefore, we should ban willing builders from delivering things their customers want.
The recording[1] he made with Leon Fleisher of Ravel's left-handed piano concerto is one of my favorites.
Reading about their falling out at Tanglewood in the 90s, Ozawa appears to have been a decisive chief executive too[2].

Can you comment on how Tanglewood has done since he made those changes, did it work out well?

Curious how typical “kids” mazes are made. They’ve got to be tough to see through to the end and usually cover much of the sheet. Similarly intrigued by the construction of cross word puzzles…

For you, me and James Hiebert, this sort of optimisation is exhilarating. Getting a half-hour job down to milliseconds? Awesome!
But for the scientists that wrote the original code, maybe not. Maybe they think of this sort of thing as drudge work, something that doesn't really hold their interest. Their fun is in designing the mathematical concept, and turning it into code is just a chore.
So yeah, we could teach scientists. But even better would be if we could provide scientists with tools that are just naturally fast when expressing problems on their own terms.
As an ex scientist, I think basic algorithms theory should be incorporated into scientific computing classes. I took a few of these but none of the concepts from this area was covered. I remember well discovering some code of mine was slowing down with system size and finally realizing it was because “append” was creating a new array each step… had no clue that would happen. Was enthralled by the online algorithms course when I finally discovered it - hash tables!!!

Author not an optimist I guess. Better to say 54% of Americans read a book in 2023!

P(r2 | r1) = P(r1 ∩ r2) / P(r1) = 2P(r1 ∩ r2) = 2∑P(n ∩ r1 ∩ r2) = 2∑(1/101 * n/100 * (n-1)/99) = 2/3.
Just expand conditional probabilities and use the law of total probability.
Intuitively, first pick red means the urn is more likely to be filled with red.
Interestingly, you get 2/3 no matter how many balls you have, doesn’t have to be 100.
Can someone post a screenshot? Haven’t seen one but am curious.
