Last year a report found that isolated indigenous groups have been found to have lives just as happy as many groups in highly developed nations. The lead author stated “I would hope that, by learning more about what makes life satisfying in these diverse communities, it might help many others to lead more satisfying lives while addressing the sustainability crisis.”

Two articles and a free Zoom weekly series on the future of AI
AI and tools like ChatGPT and Bing Assistant, Claude etc. may have changed the way we work in many industries. I just recently found that asking obscure programming questions give some surprisingly useful or halfway working responses in Microsoft Bing assistant. But will it be what some consider an AGI – a general intelligence to match human thought or ingenuity?

In recent years some voters have been increasingly unsatisfied with two-party systems in USA. In 2016, neither of the two party candidates could get a majority of votes of the American people. In 2000, one third party candidate ended up making a big difference in the total, because as in most voting systems, one can only vote for one person for each position.

SOME (Summer of Math Exposition) is happening again this year – a contest without a big prize, but of course the winner is everyone when we build some new math posts and videos for students learning…

If you live in Oregon you may have seen one of these research papers mailed to you along with a short letter promoting Noah Robinson for Oregon senate. Since this report is claimed on the campaign website to be “the most widely read scientific review article on “climate change,” which shows that human use of hydrocarbon fuels like gasoline is not changing the earth’s climate“, and the data in the charts ends at about the year 2000 for many charts as of its publishing, I decided to get some more recent data to research the most recent trends:
