What can be done to stop the ticket resellers?1 Artists don’t want to charge the maximum they can, perhaps because they want all of their fans to have a chance to attend their gigs, or perhaps because they want to establish a long-term relationship with the fans and feel eye-watering prices would turn some away. But as a consequence, when concert tickets go on sale, resellers—using sophisticated bots—scoop up all the tickets at the low price that the artist intended for fans. Let be the...| Arthur Turrell

Until recently, it was really, really hard for systems to determine user intent from natural language or other cues. Hand-coded rules or simple keyword matching made early interpretation systems brittle. Even when systems understood the words you said, they might not know what to do with them if it wasn’t part of the script. Saying “switch on the lights” instead of “turn on the lights” could mean you stayed in the dark. Don’t know the precise incantation? Too bad. Large language m...| Big Medium - Full Feed

How we spend our time is one of the most important questions facing any mortal creature.1 While you can, with effort, earn more money, you cannot—at least in the course of normal life2—create more time for yourself. As an extensive recent review of the economics of attention points out (Loewenstein and Wojtowicz 2025), the time we have is limited and rivalrous: if you spend it on one thing, you cannot spend it on another. 1 Aren’t all creatures mortal?
