Supercrunchers door Ian Ayres
excellent for anyone interested in statistics or economics
Fun book which got me thinking about all kinds of ideas for starting a business.
Ironically, I'm a bit of a super cruncher at work. For years, I had come at peace that my company can aggregate all the numbers they want, but I am impossible to market to. I am beyond a number. I can not be categorized. Or am I?
Can that spark of human inspiration make better decisions more than an evolving formula? I'm leaning toward the idea that numbers can better make at least as decision as humans when it comes to clear rule sets (like chess) and large amounts of data. Seriously, people, can you really understand what $100 billion is and how to appropriate it "fairly"?
Perhaps the more interesting battle would be humans vs. computer playing poker (which computers lost).
When it comes to meaningful questions about .. the meaning of life or does he/she love me? How should I raise my child? Or why do bad things happen to good people? The formula falls short.
Still, a very good read.
