You already could. The predictive power of the existing PGSes isn't too bad as it is; this improves it, but you could already steer the eye/hair color with considerable accuracy. The real problem is finding a service like GenPred which will do the embryo biopsies and can get out a usable genotype you can run said scores on.

Space to ground weapons are not really militarily practical. At any given moment only a tiny fraction of your weapons would be over a given target ready to strike. You have to wait for the other satellite to happen to over-fly the target area, which would generally only occur every few days at most due to orbital precession and earths rotation.
> That one triggered a 15 second siren followed by a halon dump. I found it quite exciting, the plant manager, not so much.

I am reminded of The Vax War - https://www.hactrn.net/sra/vaxen.html

Some may recall its opening (and closing) line:

> VAXen, my children, just don't belong some places.

The story involves a VAX 750, and an IBM 3090.

The passage that will get you to start shaking you head is:

> The fire alarm klaxon went off and the siren warning of imminent halon gas release was screaming. We started to panic but the data center manager shouted over the din, ``Don't worry, the halon system failed its acceptance test last week. It's disabled and nothing will happen.''
> Today Dr. Seuss is hate speech.

That's a bizarre assertion to make.

There is a good chance in 10 years we will look back and ask ourselves why the heck it took us so long to allow the genetically engineered chestnuts.
There is a big difference between genetic engineering to remove a species from existence vs reversing a bad thing we did and protect a species from going extinct. Our duty is to protect nature from us, and not not intervening when we destroy it. We did this accidentally by introducing the fungus. It is therefore Our duty to protect the chestnut by any means we have to reverse the damage we did, and restore equilibrium

Some number of cars are always going to need to be made new in a year -- due to collisions, wear and tear, etc. It is better for everybody, ceterus parabus, if newer cars are better at fuel efficiency and emissions. It is possible that the number of new cars is higher than it needs to be, but I am unaware of any evidence that suggests it is. Regardless, for each marginal car bought, it's better if that car is more fuel-efficient.

"The robot was best at Fine Arts and Current Events, worst at Word Play and Social Studies. ...This one’s not so surprising. We have a type of question called a “Two’fer Goofer” which asks for a pair of rhyming words that satisfy a given clue. It’s similar to the Rhyme Time category in Jeopardy or the old newspaper puzzle Wordy Gurdy. We had three of these questions in the showdown and GPT-3 missed all three of them. For Word Play questions that were more like vocabulary quizzes, GPT-3 performed admirably:"

More evidence, if it was needed, that the use of BPEs sabotages GPT-3 in a lot of subtle ways (https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#bpes). GPT-3 can understand things like vocab definitions which do not depend on the internal spelling of a word or phonetics (which are erased by the BPE encoding of the data it was trained on), but as soon as you have to do things like puns... The BPEs are deadly. Ah well. Eventually OA or someone will train a proper character-level model, and then I'll be able to generate rhyming poetry without hacks like rhyming dictionaries.
That would lead to a model where healthcare spending is directed to attracting healthy patients and refusing unhealthy patients.

I'm the technical cofounder of a mid-sized healthcare startup, and when I start explaining hospital administration to people, I start with this - every person working in your hospital or clinic has no incentive whatsoever for you to emerge healthier. The only goal is to maximize the ratio between the amount your insurance is willing to pay, and the amount of care that is provided.

In the case of joint replacement, each insurance provider has negotiated a fixed block payment for all costs related to the surgery. If the surgeon makes a mistake, or the patient doesn't follow along with physical therapy, or something goes wrong for whatever reason, the care provider is financially responsible for any corrective actions on the procedure. This means any complaint in a follow-up visit is usually met with some kind of platitude to make you go away, like "here is a prescription for some pain medication, let us know if the problem persists". There is no incentive to do any scans or tests, since this would eat into the profits that the hospital has made on this patient.

For certain GI surgeries, patients are instructed not to eat solid food for a week or two after surgery. A certain percentage of people ignore these instructions and end up in the hospital ER requiring another surgery. In the last couple years, providers of these treatments have learned how to bring that percentage down by hammering post-op patients with daily email/SMS messages to ensure they are educated about their procedure. These systems were not put in place by someone at the hospital who wanted patients to be better informed, they were put in place because someone noticed that percentage and calculated how much money the hospital could be saving for each percentage point in reduced readmission.

I have heard good arguments against Medicare-for-all, but I have never heard any logical argument to defend the status quo.
The point being is it is bad security to pipe a script into your shell. Providing a copy and paste to do just that leaves a bad impression.

> This doesn't actually work. If you push something down in orbit, you just make its orbit elliptical.

Came here to say this as well! The only caveat to that I can think of is if you're already low enough in orbit, the push making the satellite's orbit elliptical could put it in a drag zone, and then air would do the slowing down for you.

Also, thank you Neal Stephenson for introducing me to the wonderful would of orbital mechanics via Seveneves!
3 8#1. looks like algebra to me.

similar to:

3x^2+8x+1

instead of something, in algo-like languages, such as:

plus((mult(3,square(x))),plus(mult(3,x),1)))

Even Java lets you write 3xx+8*x+1, as a concession the value of algebraic notations.

I think that three issues at play are:

0. Falling into an intellectual comfort zone. My path has included BASIC, FORTRAN, PASCAL, C, C++, Perl, k/q. At each step I had to learn a new notation that seemed difficult at the time because of the intellectual comfort with my earlier experiences. k was ultimately a reversion to basic algebraic notation. I also learned regex notation along the way and still use it to this day :).

1. Having to learn a new (and slightly larger) operator vocabulary to understand vector languages like apl/j/k/q. I find the APL vocabulary to be too large for my taste, for example.

2. The possibly of a large expression that carry lots of semantic content. Large expressions in algebra/mathematics are often refactored into named expressions or functions, similar to programming language source code. In addition, verbose languages have lower semantic density and make it easier to comprehend what can fit on one line of source code.
I don't understand why churches would say that, when they were the cornerstone of culture until a few tens of years ago.

Junk Food and You

Well, maybe they hadn't gotten around to putting it in yet? Supposedly the building was still under construction.
You really didn't provide any objective reasons for why it should be your way (I did). You are just projecting your (quite questionable) preferences onto others.

I'll go again: there are 2 modes of interaction, sync for urgent stuff, async for everything else. If I'll go silent mode, I won't be answering ANY of your calls, even if you'll die when I don't pick up right now. You won't be able to choose between sync and async.

If I'm not in the silent mode: it's a courtesy to you, and you should treat it respectfully. Since I don't know if it's urgent when I pick up, I'm trusting you to make the right choice between urgent and non-urgent (because, again, if I don't trust you to make the right choice, you won't be able to interrupt me when you really-really, oh-god-please-make-him-to-pick-up, really need to interrupt me). If you abuse it, you are an inconsiderate asshole, and not a "cool social guy, who is fun to talk to: I must be, because I've never heard people say otherwise!" If you abuse it too much, I'll be forced to tell you that you are abusing it. Which is not a polite thing to tell, and can be considered an act of agression, which is why many (most, perhaps) people will be hating you with a smile, instead of telling you that. That's why they'll resort to a seemingly more polite, but actually less productive act of passive agression: they'll actually go into silent mode (maybe for your phone number selectively) and you won't have a choice between sync and async anymore.

And, let's be clear: everybody (me included) wants their emails, calls, texts, anything to be answered immediately. The fact is that it's not always convenient for the other guy because he has both other texts/emails/calls, and unless he is a sales agent, also has stuff to do besides talking to phone (actually, no: even sales agents aren't on the phone 24/7). Ignoring that simple fact is being an asshole, not a custodian of "nearly forgotten the true and only art of real™ human interaction". Sorry, bud.

It seems like being equipped to, say, cause a solar flare to sterilize an offending planet would tend to discourage an aggressor before their ships got used up. Probably a flare wiping out a neighboring planet (e.g. one like Venus) first would convey the message adequately.

Don't get hung up on the "copy and paste an url" technique. It could easily be a digitally signed "RepoData.pkgsrc" file that is opened by some aspect of the built-in windows installer mechanism. It could include branding and all sorts of other ways to verify it's identity.

The real win is empowering developers to reliably communicate these updates to users, and make it simple to update, w/o inundating the user's system tray with 5 different bespoke updaters that act out in different ways.
Can the Elastic of Surgical Face Masks Stimulate Ear Protrusion in Children?
Hmm. The Tandy 2000, Radio Shack's ill-fated first foray into the world of MS-DOS in 1983, used an 80186 (yes, 186) clocked at 8 MHz, so it would seem odd if the 80286 couldn't have at least matched that. From what I can find at a cursory search, the 80286 first shipped at 5 MHz, 6 MHz and 8 MHz versions, although the AT apparently used the 6 MHz version when it first shipped in 1984, not bumping up to 8 MHz until 1986.
It's definitely fantastic for anyone with employees. If the currency was deflating, you better believe your boss would be doing a downward cost of living adjustment ever single paycheck. As it stands, they can just keep your pay fixed and you are constantly becoming a lesser business cost until they begrudgingly give you a 1-2% annual cost of living adjustment.

Basically, it's easier to manipulate individuals into working for less if the number they're getting remains the same or even goes up, but slower than real inflation.
In helping with a family member struggling with a very serious medical condition, the only incentive I’ve been work is the stick.

The Medicare incentives to kick patients out of rehab is very effective, to the point that it’s a cruel game for families operating under the mistaken assumption that healing is a goal.

In the hospital, the only urgency outside of acute/intensive care that I saw was when my family member was readmitted due to incompetence on the part of the hospital, and ended up costing them thousands of unremimbursed dollars.
It was done by the military, without reference to or oversight by any civilian government of the time, which had no say in it. The military in Myanmar was autonomous.
That seems like a good, common-sense strategy.

Textual for details, and not for human clarification. It's often a terrible idea to wrestle in emotional or clarification contexts without hearing or seeing someone else in realtime.

Attention is a finite resource that ought to vary with actual urgency; hopefully, with fewest emergencies.

It seems like this a big stretch of the truth on their part. If you have let say 30TB of data hosted in the cloud and wanted to use this. Not on would you need a RAID yourself so we're talking probably 4-6 high capacity drives at around $500 a piece, but additionally you'd need around triple that to match the redundancy of cloud storage. Additionally you'd need someone capable of setting up a shared file system and fiber between all the access points. We're talking probably around $12,000 upfront and monthly bandwidth costs of $750. That or you can get unlimited storage from Google for around $120/mo, maybe much less. Many people still only pay around $12/mo.

Maybe it’s the fact that I am not seeing the surrounding context with your quote, but it reads fine to me.

Perhaps it is my own way of thinking & writing which enables this. I was told by my mother that she knows when she’s reading something I wrote versus my siblings.

Otherwise, perhaps it is related to when one reads misspelled or incomplete words, yet our brains enable us to understand what was meant anyway, and in some cases, this is only consciously realized upon a second read.
Can you clarify what you mean by "more" in "more than a collection of talking points"?
According to the law they have to provide a price list, you're probably just asking for the wrong thing. No one's going to go through the price list and translate what you're looking for into medical jargon. My experience has been that you can usually find a list of direct-to-consumer prices online.
