I wish there was anything close to this in healthcare.

Most medical group meetings are:

a)A small number of people that understand the issue (generally specialists) being drowned out by:

b)A large number of people with a vague understanding of the issue (related specialists and generalists)

c)A number of people with no understanding of the issue with the most political clout (administrators)

And then a final decision made by the least knowledgeable, most political administrator with the most vested interests.

The next article writes itself doesn't it?

In 2018, the United States spent about $3.6 trillion on healthcare, which averages to about $11,000 per person. Relative to the size of the economy, healthcare costs have increased over the past few decades, from 5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 1960 to 18 percent in 2018. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) project that by 2028, such costs will climb to $6.2 trillion, or about $18,000 per person, and will represent about 20 percent of GDP.

> The savings rate at Bank of America is 0.01% APY.

The government doesn't want you holding large amounts of cash. It causes problems for everyone.

> A person has no risk-free ability to save

Nothing is risk free. Yes, the government wants to force people to invest their money in order for it to keep its value over long periods of time. Hoarding money is bad. If you don't think T-bonds pay enough you're free to buy other bonds, equities, real estate, even gold if you like it so much.
No, was outrageously high, as highlighted at the time of approval by the National Audit Office.

As I said, renewables are cheaper and faster to build: offshore wind a few years ago was given guaranteed strike prices of only £40/MWh.

Current electricity spot prices are volatile because gas is expensive, not because nuclear is cheap. Besides, the government doesn't guarantee outrageous gas prices for thirty years.

Laundry lists tend to include lots of incredibly unsolid opinions, "reasons" - most of which can be easily refutable with facts

If you have facts that you start with, and explain your conclusions, you have valid reasons

Note - opinions are fine, too: but never confuse your opinion with a fact (which most people do) :)

Tangential to this is I have observed one thing. I work in science, and a lot of our hires are fresh PhDs/postdocs. The best question to ask is the limitations of their approach. The more thoroughly they have worked on it, the better they know the limitations.

On the other hand, people who are super confident and wave away any limitations of their approach have invariably been problematic hires.

I think about how to get better at it a lot.

I worked at a mediation center with a woman (a founder) who could listen to two people talk about a dispute for 90 minutes, not take any notes, listen carefully and make a detailed verbal summary of what the people said. It amazed me.

I was in a call just now where there was a knock-down drag-out discussion going on that we've had before. It was tempting to disengage, daydream. I was waiting to write this comment the whole time but was able to stop it because it was worth listening to the group which is the only way out of the impasse. I find myself asking, "What is it going take for this person to feel heard?" (I wish I could just ask them that!)

David Snyder is a hypnotist who makes videos on Youtube and he says that if you want people to feel mirrored it's powerful to remember and be able to repeat what the person said using the same words in the same order. Even if there is a place for paraphrasing, the more exact you can be the more certain you can be heard.

We were having a stoned discussion at my house and my son was feeling that people were talking over him so I cleared off the whiteboard and summarized what he said. I was not going to "lose" and let him walk away saying that I hadn't listened to him. Sometimes he got really upset when I made him pause so I could take a picture of the board and clear it but I didn't stop until he didn't have anything more to say and he acknowledged that he'd been heard.

I have an ideal of working towards of being able to offer people an unreasonable level of mirroring because of the power it has for drawing people in. I know I can't be perfect at it and can't expect perfect mirroring for others but I try to imagine there's no limit to how good I can do it.

I was at a party the other day and a woman tried to flatter me based on a superficial thing about my intelligence and my first reaction was "Yuck! I've always felt my intelligence was something that separated me from other people. I'd appreciate it if somebody said I was funny or brave and probably not be able to think straight if somebody said I was handsome, but..." I had to step back and try to appreciate the sentiment but I thought about it and thought some more and decided I'd rather not make that mistake when I'm trying to seduce someone.

I see a lot of people at the gym who have their bodies on display but are really defended and I don't feel I could talk to anybody about their superficial characteristics. I am only going to talk to somebody if I can show I really saw something about them that was personal, unique and touches me.

There's one lady who really whoops it up when the Baltimore Ravens are playing on Sunday and that's one of the very few people I can talk to because boy I know she is crazy about football!

Yes, the easiest way to get a stable grid with wind and solar is to have natural gas capacity equal to what you need from wind and solar. Gas is not used when there is wind or solar, and is very easy and quick to turn on when needed.

In the future when more green gasses become available, bio methane, hydrogen or syn methane, those gas plants can be filled with those as well.
Great answer. I still don't understand why they chose to keep all of that snuff on the site. It is harrowing.
Hopefully, with relatively new equipment that allows more precise realtime brain sensing, we should have more insightful research in the years to come.[0] But the issue of defining learning itself will remain thorny.

Yes, I agree with that. Containers though, as far as some of the advantages; we have been using chroots for deployment since the early 2000s which is not the same but deployment/compatibility wise it was pretty good. It allows you to have the same small Linux image and deployment everywhere as well and you could move most zipped images from machine to machine with vastly different kernels. I still use chroots now on my Pandora handheld which has an ancient kernel but I run modern software on it in a chroot. No overhead too.

I think what they could have done better is rails; it was not good enough then. Php would’ve been far less hassle. But he, they made it!
Sure - I think we all learn tricks like that. But you learned that pattern of tokenization, it wasn't arbitrarily foisted on you.

What GPTs have to deal with is more like, you are fed an arithmetic problem via colored slips of paper, and you just have to remember that this particular shade of chartreuse means "224", which you happen to have memorized equals 7 * 32, etc., but then the next slip of paper is off-white which means "1", and now you have to mentally shift everything ...

I'll add a bit of nuance here: something that is underappreciated is that China does extremely good contact tracing.

Cities do not go into full-on lockdown over a single case. The first reaction is to rapidly do contact tracing, and to quarantine and PCR test all close contacts of the infected person. This is done within hours. The building or neighborhood in which the person lives might be locked down, and there will be testing in the neighborhood.

After doing this contract-tracing work, it sometimes becomes clear that there is a larger outbreak that has gone unnoticed. If the public health authorities think they can't control the outbreak with contact-tracing alone, that's when larger-scale lockdowns occur.

The recent outbreak in Baise is a good example of this: one person tested positive, but it became clear that they had been infected for a week or more, and that they had gone to all sorts of mass gatherings. That's why the city locked down.

On the other end of the scale, Shanghai had some Omicron cases recently, but they were extremely targeted in their response, like shutting down individual buildings. They were able to end the outbreak without shutting down the city.

I think it is important to mention that clever people already managed to reverse engineer the Apple "Find My" network/protocol to "make tour own airtag" : https://github.com/seemoo-lab/openhaystack

This notably allow one to easily create a tracker that is silent and potentially smaller than an AirTag. Also easier to hid in a daily object since all you need is basically a nRF51822 and a battery.

People who don't own an iPhone, or in general a recent iPhone might be tracked without their knowledge (and, obviously, their consent).

The potential of misuse of this kind of tool is so great, we should really regulate against those.

IMHO I think it's very good that you don't seem overly eager to just get it sold all at once, because I can't help but cautiously suspect that a lot of buyers would say all the right things then either just let it rot, or go build on top of it (it seems to be located in a rural area, but near some other houses, suggesting low to moderate demand).
For what's it's worse (since we disagree elsewhere in this thread) - I'm with you 100% here.

Free speech is an important principle. The way I argue it to people arguing for various forms of suppressing it is that you can't know that you'll be the one with the power to suppress speech. In a liberal (as in classical liberalism) western society it's a core value. That's why we defend the speech of others even when they say terrible things.

I think there's nuance here with private companies since their ability to moderate is an exercise of their speech, but I think Zuckerberg was generally right in his georgetown address: https://zalberico.com/essay/2020/06/16/mark-zuckerberg-and-f...

I’d like to throw this out there to see what comes back; has anyone thought about coding and development being an addiction?

In my experience, it has fit all of the characteristics of a deeply addictive loop… There’s a strong period of hard effort for variable reward - and much of the time that reward is just the dang thing compiling.

I know without a doubt I’ve hurt myself doing this more than I should and am currently struggling with the potential long term benefit vs. the current pains.

For me the biggest two are:

1. I used my (relatively short [20 minutes]) commute to listen to music or podcasts and get some separation between work and home.

2. A lack of analog whiteboard-style collaboration. We use Miro (and it’s pretty good once you get used to it), but even though Miro is better for some use cases, it’s way worse for others. The high-bandwidth, three different people are all holding a market and sketching ideas together simply doesn’t have an adequate replacement in a remote world IMO.

Edit to add: 3. Group meals (mostly informal lunches) builds a sense of camaraderie and understanding of your teammates in a way that Zoom never will. I treasure the random nerdy conversations over lunch tables.

Overall, I love remote though and expected I’d hate it.

A.I. in racing games is a royal scam.

Real life racing is about being perfect. Every second you lose is a second you can't get back. It's not about being fast but about not being slow.

For a racing game to be engaging the A.I. can't really be trying to beat you, otherwise you'd be going through laps you couldn't win and it wouldn't feel meaningful.
> it is quite straightforward to engineer [wooden] things to be safe and give enough time for firemen to arrive.

That time depends hugely on where you live.
Years ago, there was a bit of a fad for small turbines on roofs. However, wind turbine cost efficiency scales positively with size. They also "shade" nearby turbines from the airflow, and the presence of buildings and ground clutter further reduces the efficiency. You may have noticed that it's not as windy in Central Park (or any other park) as it is on the Atlantic coast.

So the optimal wind turbine is (a) extremely large and (b) at sea or near the coast. You get things like this with 100m blades: https://www.ge.com/renewableenergy/wind-energy/offshore-wind...

There is also a little bit of a safety issue. The possibility of losing a 100m blade or part thereof is low, but you wouldn't want that in a city.

(I appreciate the "I don't want that near me" view, but that means that person wants it near someone else? Or some other solution that nobody wants to be near either?)

I intentionally use spinning hard drive on any data that are transient or have heavy write operations: swap, logs (ie /var/log/), etc. The spinning hard drive should last a long time and they are fairly cheap, while the performant and main data stays on NVMe or SSD.
Of course :) That is the goal, but I don't want to "launch" it until the issues are ironed out - the last thing we need is to get a lots of users and then a bunch of them miss their trains/buses because our data wasn't accurate (this has happened once or twice to our testers).
In the Netherlands we have https://9292.nl/. It is awesome, I can plan a trip and it will show me how long I have to walk, whats buses/trains I have to take, and I can also buy tickets for all the different providers. Almost everyone here in NL uses it when they plan a trip, its even useful when you do this trip daily because it shows delays, maintenance and other important information.
