Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Google will give you results that make you want to click them. Duckduckgo not so much. The Google (and Bing and Chrome) system puts you into an island of answers that will seldom show you a new idea or a competing concern. Because amplifying your preexisting state pays them better.
I donât agree. Google puts an astouding amount of knowledge at your fingertips 24/7. Sure, as with any source of info, you have to use discernment. But⊠you remeber that obnoxious uncle who spewed endless malarkey at Christmas parties when the library was closed? Well heâs not so cocky anymore.
When I enter an uncertainly worded search item, Google often refines it, and that sometimes works out ok. But, there also show up lists of questions asked by others, which help me refine my search even more precisely. So it ainât all bad or all good, mostly itâs just helpful.
âWorking an integral or performing a linear regression is something a computer can do quite effectively. Understanding whether the result makes sense â or deciding whether the method is the right one to use in the first place â requires a guiding human hand. When we teach mathematics we are supposed to be explaining how to be that guide. A math course that fails to do so is essentially training the student to be a very slow, buggy version of Microsoft Excel.â âJordan Ellenberg, professor of mathematics, University of WisconsinâMadison, How Not To Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking (2014)
Using a search engine to find an answer is easy; taking the first thing it gives, without confirmation, is lazy. Doing an easy first step can move a hard worker more quickly along in an arduous task.
My entire career I was asked how to you get all that done so quickly. My reply, âIâm lazy and the easiest way is also the quickest way.â Then I would get fussed at because I also came in under budget (bad for some reason).

Bing gets evasive when you ask if itâs sentient. It doesnât know what that means, either.

65 years ago, we replaced our mop & squeegee with an electric scrubber and wet vac.

Itâs a sliding variable, not a constant.

He might break AI testing that theory.

For any given complex, expensive, time-consuming problem there exists at least one simple, cheap, easy wrong answer.

Google will do the thinking, you just sit back and consume.

Lazy is when you donât even want to bother Google-ing something.

I donât really think âeasyâ is portmanteau like Caulfield think. It would have the same root as âeaseâ though.

Eazy: E + azy is 1 plus 3 letters. So itâs 1/9th efficiency plus 3/4 lazy.
