I've been thinking about #uncertainty from risk POV, & Doug Hubbard's concepts of calibrated estimators. My team does weekly calibrations for #estimating uncertainty. Listening to Choi-Greene talk about AI's certainty - confidently wrong, sometimes - I couldn't help but think that having calibrated, specific uncertainty on events, plans, projects, #technology would become MORE valuable in the future.

Estimating the Perceived 'Claustrophobia' of New York City's Streets

New York City is a large place; almost 469 square miles of pretty dense civilization. Within the city, there are thousands of miles of sidewalks. As you walk through different neighborhoods, you may experience a variety of different atmospheres. In Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, it's quaint and quiet. In SoHo these days, there are so many pedestrians that they spill off the narrow sidewalks. While a neighborhood's atmosphere is, of course, a function of time, it is possible to get an average consensus of how 'crowded' each neighborhood feels by averaging over time. When we say 'crowded', we mean not just with people; we also mean with static objects, or street furniture, or, to get even more colloquial, 'clutter'. When we mix 'crowdedness' within the narrow environment of NYC's sidewalks, we endeavor to call this feeling 'claustrophobia', a direct mapping to the definition in psychology.

Calvin Liang: The Fed says this is a cube of $1M. They’re off by half a million.. “I first tried counting the stacks right there in the room. The cube was tall, so I had to step back to see the whole thing, squinting at the stacks, trying to follow each row. I lost track almost immediately. Also, people were starting to look at me funny. Apparently, staring intensely at a pile of cash while […]
