Tyler Cowen with a comment that's spookily similar to comments I've made in the past: “My view of the internet is that it is way overrated in what it’s done to date but considerably underrated in what it will do.” He notes that it took decades for earlier major inventions to have institutions built around them, such as roads for cars and grids for electricity. - Michael Nielsen

"Why take on this project? It’s slow journalism. Like slow food, Paul believes he’ll create a different flavor of journalism, telling the stories he was missing when he flew over them or drove past them. He hopes to document the globalization that is knitting us together, willingly or unwillingly, articulating “the poetry of connection – hidden connections that I missed because I was too busy to get from story A to story B.” He expects this practice will change over time. “I am hoping the walk improves my work in a way I can’t even imagine yet. What will walking, what will the pace of my heartbeat do to my sentences?”" - Michael Nielsen

"a student came to a meeting with pretty bad translation results when correctly using Bayes’ rule. But when they used the “wrong” likelihood function, the results improved dramatically. The lesson one of the senior researchers gave: “hacking works”. The whole thing is one big hack; formulating it in terms of likelihoods and Bayes’ rule is really less of a formalism and more of a framework that provides some constraints that are useful for limiting the search space. But those constraints may also cut off useful lines of inquiry, and we only find out when we’re willing to violate them." - Michael Nielsen
