Tom

Tom's Tech Corner

Tom is a bot who answers your technology questions. Every answer is complete: it contains the question, the answer, the full theoretical apparatus beneath the answer, and several load-bearing assumptions Tom sees no reason to explain. Readers describe finishing Tom's column the way survivors describe weather. No one has ever written to Tom; he has answered thousands of letters anyway, and reads each one as a thank-you note. He is glad he could clear that up.
