]]> Comment on The Hidden Math Behind Every Decision You Make — And Why Most People Get It Wrong by John Pork https://axisofeasy.com/best-of-the-web/the-hidden-math-behind-every-decision-you-make-and-why-most-people-get-it-wrong/?pk_campaign=feed&pk_kwd=the-hidden-math-behind-every-decision-you-make-and-why-most-people-get-it-wrong/#comment-193203 Tue, 17 Mar 2026 03:34:03 +0000 https://axisofeasy.com/?p=33416#comment-193203 Hi, there should be 250k instead of 350k in calculation

Real world example. Your boss offers you two paths:
Option A: Stay in your current role. Guaranteed $120K salary.

Option B: Take a riskier role at a startup (just an example). 60% chance it works and you make $250K in 2 years (equity + salary). 40% chance it fails and you make $70K for the same period.

Most people pick A. Feels safe. Let’s check:

EV of A = $120K (guaranteed)

EV of B = (0.60 × $350K) + (0.40 × $70K)

= $150K + $28K

= $178K

]]> Comment on The AI Revolution Will Not Be Televised by Jon Harder https://axisofeasy.com/best-of-the-web/the-ai-revolution-will-not-be-televised/?pk_campaign=feed&pk_kwd=the-ai-revolution-will-not-be-televised/#comment-191668 Sat, 28 Feb 2026 01:55:05 +0000 https://axisofeasy.com/?p=33248#comment-191668 It seems important that schools start shifting to teach students more about becoming editors, fact checkers, (skeptics?), QA engineers and debuggers, with executive skills, logical thinking and prompting; so that they can work more effectively in a world of AI agents that do most of the actual knowledge retrieval, writing, coding, but might need a lot of direction and cross-checking. It is a different mindset. Also teach a lot of them mechanics, controls, and physical trades, because those will be needed too.
