May 3, 2020Interesting note taking gadget
April 28, 2020a device that might be useful for reading and annotating pdfs (manuscripts, figure, general note taking).
Its called “remarkable” and was once a kickstarter project. its based on eink technology so it writes more like pencil and paper.
Some interesting features:
– Print-to-send pdf directly from Chrome browser
– ocr transcription of handwriting
– cloud sync to phones and computer (what you do on device is immediately available from phone and computer)
– canvas feel of screen surface

“Consumers, especially young ones, are likely to peg their purchasing behavior to environmental concerns; 70 percent of millennials surveyed said that they take companies’ stewardship of the environment into consideration when making purchasing decisions. Companies in diverse industries have responded by increasing their green offerings, in part because consumers are often willing to pay a premium for green products and services.”

The Two Settings of Kind and Wicked Learning Environments
April 17, 2020There’s a paper on this topic that introduced the idea of “kind and wicked learning environments”:

…in wicked environments it is difficult to do inference based on data. One solution seems to be to break down the problem in such a way that you can observe sub-problems in a kind environment.
The Two Settings of Kind and Wicked Learning Environments
Robin M. Hogarth1, Tomás Lejarraga2, and Emre Soyer3
Abstract
QT:{{” Inference involves two settings: In the first, information is acquired (learning); in the second, it is applied (predictions or choices). Kind learning environments involve close matches between the informational elements in the two settings and are a necessary condition for accurate inferences. Wicked learning environments involve mismatches. This conceptual framework facilitates identifying sources of inferential errors and can be used, among other things, to suggest how to target corrective procedures. For example, structuring learning environments to be kind improves probabilistic judgments. Potentially, it could also enable economic agents to exhibit maximizing behavior.
