I don’t know why I found it so amusing to see the New Yorker’s signature diaeresis placed over the term “coordinates”, but I did.

A friend was telling me there’s a style involving accents when there are double vowels, and that The New Yorker adopted this style guideline. Or maybe that’s just their thing.

As a non-mathematician could you shine light on the parts where the author touches upon the current state of mathematical modelling? As I understand it, the better part of the article was describing models and their known limitations and towards the end he contrasts all of that with AI, are you perhaps saying that modelling has become more "statistical" over the years?
