Rest assured that the prevalence of AI means these skills will be even more important somehow. AI just made writing and coding skills even more important, not less, and I'd imagine the same will be true of finance and accounting.
Just my personal opinion, feel free to disagree ;). There are few issues preventing finance being replaced by AI.
1. The large portion of finance is customization. AI works on the simple models, but it may struggle to perform adequately with complex, company-specific situations. Take pilot as example, it is an accounting and bookkeeping company with the combination of tech solution and human services. There is always human in the loop.
2. Finance deals with the numbers, the bar of accuracy is very high.
However, I believe AI can make learning finance much simpler, that is why I build this platform.
I would start by reading High Output Management by Andrew Grove – It really gives a great lens to view a business through and helps you focus on the right problems
Niobium on its own isn't even ferromagnetic, it's paramagnetic, and not very strong. However, it can be alloyed with other metals including iron and nickel to produce a stronger magnet than any pure element.
This seems a reasonable question to me, not having read the article. IIRC from grade school days, only a few metallic elements are magnetic. Iron, nickel, cobalt, and some rare earth metals. That was a long time ago and doubtless oversimplified, but please do enlighten me why it would be expected to be magnetic?
It seems like they must still be assuming it's largely made of Iron.
Ferromagnetic matter is magnetic by nature. If you look at the periodic table you'll see that most of the elements are actually metals. Below Carbon there's a line which parts metals from semi metals and non metals.
But with proper equipment you can detect non magnetic conductive materials. Not sure what's it called, but if you pass a magnet near eg. copper the magnetic force from the magnet will induce electricity on copper which in turn with also produce a slight magnetic field. There are many good YouTube videos on this topic and they're quite cool! (https://youtu.be/u7Rg0TcHQ4Y)
That's not what they're doing though. There literally going to drag a magnet across the sea floor and examine anything that sticks to it. Which will be largely iron, nickel, and cobalt. Were it to be alien tech, it probably won't have large amounts of those and won't stick to the magnet. At least it seems that way to me. Could you make a magnet that would create a strong enough attraction to pick up a piece of gold? I suspect not, or there would be a reality TV show with rednecks trawling the ocean in Alaska with magnets, searching for gold.
Even though I would love to see any non-human technology, I would probably bet that they're just going to find a bunch of dust, rocks and of course, human trash.
Definitely. But of course a metal detector coil can also look at simple change of inductance, hence responding to conductivity even with magnetic mu = 0.
I am not sure toughness has anything to do with ferromagnetic properties. But it seems like a bad idea anyways considering that very few materials are naturally ferromagnetic.
To be fair, some of this is indeed "crankiness returned" given how much of the vitriol seems almost directly based on Ron's older "If I..." written on a grumpy day post. Though I still wouldn't wish a 100x or 1000x return on grumpiness to anyone, and that seems to be the case here.

B&P | Social Media Marketing / Growth Hacker | SF based but Remote OK | Part-time to Full-time
Obsessed with watches? We're growing our team to provide collectors with tools to build, curate, and grow their collection. Looking for an experienced social media manager, ideally with watch collecting industry experience, influencers, and prior experience w/ small startups / growth hacking.
The main idea with this is to build validation by showing that somebody else did similar/analogous thing and succeedeed. E.g. "What Y did for Z, we will do the same but for X". And then the key point is in explaining how it is related and why it makes sense in your case to apply the same strategy.
We learned that innovating on the product is already challenging enough, and if we also innovate on the business model / adoption strategy etc it just sounds too risky. The best thing here is just to follow on somebody else's footsteps, which also makes it much easier (both for investors and ourselves) to imagine what the future will look like.
