The Battle of the Agents — 4 Autonomous AI Agents

Everybody is talking about AutoGPT, and other autonomous AI Agents. Having tried them, I can vouch that they aren’t really the “shit” right now, but the potential has me flummoxed. One of the most significant limitations of the current system is its memory capabilities. Recently...

Custody Battle of the Airwaves

I’ve been writing about Mexican radio for seven years now. It is a topic area that can occasionally be dull in stretches but, when taken as a whole, never fails to find something new. In my time writing En Frecuencia, dating to July 2014, these are some of the wildest stories that ha...

Faith With a Battle Plan

It got so bad that even their brothers and sisters living in the surrounding exiled lands urged them to give up and come “home” (Nehemiah 4:12). However, their resolve could not be crushed. They continued to work with danger looming. Half the men worked as guards, and low points in...

In the year 732 the Christian army at the Battle of Tours defeated the Muslim Army preventing Europe from becoming a Muslim continent. Now those pesky loud mouth jews plant themselves in the middle of the muslim shit show and and just want to dance the hora and argue from sunrise to sunset. Bu...

Part 14: The Battle for CD-6 — Why It Still Matters Where the LA Fed Tapes Came From

So I have no interest in horse race politics, I long ago realized that like Hunter S Thompson wrote rhetorically in the “The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved” (1970) in Scanlan’s Monthly speaking to Jimbo from Houston: “There’s going to be tro...

MathGate, or the Battle of Two Plus Two

Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any stupider or weirder: for over a month now, a battle has raged in some corners of the internet over the question of whether “2+2=4” is always true. The combatants, broadly speaking, are “woke” progressives (a.k.a. “soc...

Preparing Data for Analysis is (more than) Half the Battle

Just last week, a colleague mentioned that while he does a lot of study design these days, he no longer does much data analysis. His main reason was that 80% of the work in data analysis is preparing the data for analysis. Data preparation is s-l-o-w and he found that few colleagues and...

Why Was the Battle of Adrianople so Decisive?

Starting from humble backgrounds, the citizens of Rome drove out their Etruscan Kings in the 6th century BC to found the Roman Republic, an entity that with time, turned out to be quite aggressive and ambitious, but at the same time, was also capable of mobilizing its manpower for war more efficient...

East vs. the West in a battle of utensils!

Hey there, my fellow food adventurers and culture connoisseurs! Ever had that moment of culinary confusion when you wondered why some cultures are all, “Nuh-uh, no hands allowed!” while others are like, “Hands-on dining is the way to go, baby!” It’s like a flavor roller...
