A batch of the best highlights from what Josh's read, .
Errors have two major forms. Slips occur when the goal is correct, but the required actions are not done properly: the execution is flawed. Mistakes occur when the goal or plan is wrong.
Slips and mistakes can be further divided based upon their underlying causes. Memory lapses can lead to either slips or mistakes, depending upon whether the memory failure was at the highest level of cognition (mistakes) or at lower (subconscious) levels (slips).

Cheese is a living thing that needs to breathe. Waxed paper or specialized cheese paper makes an ideal wrapping. If you must use plastic, be sure to use fresh wrap each time you re-wrap it. I store my cheese in a drawer in the refrigerator (or store it in a plastic storage container in the fridge).
Cheese absorbs flavors, so keep cheese away from other strongscented foods, such as onions or briny olives.

We can summarize the difference between the micro- and macroeconomic impacts of AI in this way: Companies have the choice of maintaining their current cognition inputs and use AIs to lower costs (I believe this is a trap — you’re just making time until the next category-redefining high-cognition competitor to wipe you out — but I understand the temptation) or of seeking competitive advantages through (unprecedentedly) high-cognition goods and services.
