How incredible would it be if Alphabet spent, say 1% of their total healthcare venture budget, just running models on all of the different ways that the cost of healthcare could be reduced and access to care could increase. And maybe they do this already (we have no idea if they do, it might be nice to share that information if they did). It's just become so clear that many people believe the anti-science stuff that gets thrown around these days because they can't even afford to participate in the healthcare system anymore. And who can blame them? Figuring out how to get medical records systems to talk to each other isn't going to solve this problem.

I am in complete agreement. My Note 4 had by far the best smartphone display I've ever used. 2560x1440 with zero screen wasted on camera or navigation buttons. I keep mine in a display cabinet and every few months take it out and enjoy just how huge the screen looks despite the fact I can hold it vertically in one hand. Dropping a spare battery in my pocket for a day hike when I'm going to run the GPS for hours. MHL giving me lag-free HDMI-out with charging. True mass-storage USB mode where I can copy files and navigate the folder structure at the same time. I used mine until the screen was so yellow it looked like I dipped it in popcorn grease.

It was a joke, based on the alleged unlicensed TV detector vans that have roamed for decades and which are nothing more than a scare tactic to get people to pay the TV license.

As of 2016, the BBC still claimed they work, though, even for non-TVs:

> 1.37 The BBC’s final detection and enforcement option is its fleet of detection vans. Where the BBC still suspects that an occupier is watching live television but not paying for a licence, it can send a detection van to check whether this is the case. TVL detection vans can identify viewing on a non‐TV device in the same way that they can detect viewing on a television set. BBC staff were able to demonstrate this to my staff in controlled conditions sufficient for us to be confident that they could detect viewing on a range of non‐TV devices.

The word "flexibility" is not owned by contortionists. Range of motion is still very important, and while yoga can and does tend to the contortionist end of the spectrum, tai chi does not, and yet it still cares quite a bit about flexibility, as an antonym to tightness/stiffness.

Assuming by free you mean universal coverage that is (almost) free at the point of usage then this is a solved problem.

In my opinion (and at most places I've worked) serverless has been a great _complement_ to traditional deployment models (usually k8s).

For example, you have some background tasks (sending email, processing files, etc). It's very convenient to just push those into a queue and have serverless functions chew through them. They scale to zero, cold start time has no negative impact on the workload, you don't have to worry about k8s resource requests and scaling, etc.

I too am skeptical of using any serverless offering for serving HTTP API's or server-side rendered pages, atleast for non-trivial amounts of traffic. CloudRun can do it but only because it's a thin management layer on k8s/knative and even then networking config for anything other than CloudSQL is tedious (you have to deploy a proxy to access your VPC).
Putting your hands on a greasy controller is one thing, strapping a sweaty headset to your face is quite another.

You're thinking of "chutos" in Bolivia, probably, but those aren't smuggled into America as a whole, just across the borders between different American countries.

I'm not a streamer, but I find OBS is great for other uses.

The main things I use OBS for is:

- Recording screen or window, while recording desktop audio and mic at the same time.

- routing master windows audio through a compressor/limiter when listening to videos or streams that have poor leveling (though you need to install a virtual audio output in windows to do this - I found something called CABLE that works. Then windows outputs to CABLE, OBS reads CABLE into desktop audio source, and then you monitor that on you speakers/headphones, so you can now add audio filters to desktop audio source.)

- adjusting gamma/contrast/brightness of webcams (but not during face to face video calls; OBS does introduce lag which limits the usefullness of this)
Interesting.

Though, I wonder if this is more a correlation with any kind of physical disability and the whole effort of having to deal with the raw end of the stick by having to deal with Stuff. Extra doctor's appointments, eyedrops, different routines than what's assumed for most people, feeling/being more of a dependent on others, tiredness/reduced endurance given the extra stress. Would not surprise me if there was a strong link there.

It's not willful by the users of copilot. Damages would be low since it's easy to show that users have no intention of infringing, and in most cases, aren't aware they're infringing.

If liability sits somewhere, it's with copilot, github, and Microsoft.

A lot of that might come down to bedside manner. Right now, github isn't super-polite to people whose code it used. That's probably a mistake. They'd be a unsympathetic evil megacorp in a jury trial.

> I think you're greatly underestimating how many people can "live off [...] assets"

1% of households are worth >$11m? Is that really true? I have trouble believing that but it could be true.

Either way, all it does is change it so that 95% of people should be leftists.

Also FWIW living off those assets at the lower percentiles that you mention doesn't factor in inflation, which is currently more than the 5% returns you mentioned. And a real return of 5% is a somewhat more aggressive strategy. It's more likely (and suggested) that at a certain point portfolios should become defensive as a amssive drop is way more impactful than a large positive gain.

It's also worth noting that these net worth figures include your net house value. You're not making a return on that money. In fact it's costing you money. Sure you could not own, get a return on that money instead and rent instead but that opens you up to other risks (eg as we're seeing now with massive rent hikes).
There are a lot of things but they are always very very expensive. It’s almost not worth it when functionally many times they perform about as well as something a tenth of its price.

Less than a week ago ANOTHER amyloid hypothesis drug failed a Phase III, this from Roche. There are at least three more drugs based on that in Phase III right now (Gantenerumab, Donanemab and Lecanemab). So the drugs that are getting to Phase III are still based on the amyloid hypothesis. Now note that drugs in Phase III are a lagging indicator, so the initial screening and phase 0 research might have changed direction, but the part of the iceberg sticking up out of the water is definitely still amyloid based.

I don't honestly think that anyone has been put at misery. At best we will have taken slightly longer for a cure (or maybe we'll never find one). I feel like there area few too many ethical gymnastics you have to do to blame overzealous scientists for chasing down the wrong rabbit hole. But, yes the trait in general of blinded belief (versus belief used to drive effort and focus but with self-awareness that it's just a tool) among some scientists feels uncouth. I am lucky to not have had to deal with that personally. I did see it in some neighboring labs, some of those grad students got utterly fucked and when they presented consolation thesis defenses for seven years of misery, they had the dazed look like someone who had just escaped an underground cult to see the sunlight finally.

You're right not all of them are antibodies, but the ones that aren't might not be working for "other reasons". Yes, that is a cheap way out, but I still think it's worth trying (and I don't generally believe in the amyloid hypothesis)

> This is why we need more design expertise in FOSS.

The secret probably is having well defined roles: whoever writes the code shouldn't be involved in interface design and vice versa, unless they prove themselves good at it, as the two tasks require very different sets of skills. This is easily accomplished in commercial software writing where roles are defined and salaries paid, but in the FOSS world where everyone and their cat want to be the famous developer, the UI designer role is rarely recognized for its importance.
> it’s highly possible Github themselves can end up in how water for facilitating this.

It might be possible, I don’t know about “highly”. Have you checked the license exclusions required to use Github? Their terms already carve out a Copyright exception for Github, because they need it on order to host your code. There’s also no reason Github can’t filter certain licenses, or make it impossible to complete entire functions, or build an option for everyone to opt-in to being autocomplete source material regardless of license, right? Any legal challenges are likely to result in changes to the feature before there are ever any serious repercussions.

I think it’s at least as likely, if not more so, that Copyright Law could evolve in response to the growing number of AI auto completers, and we (society) try to allow it within reason by being more specific about what constitutes automated infringement and who’s responsible for it. Fair Use currently exists but is vague and left up to courts to decide. In the meantime, Copyright is primarily intended to foster a balance between business and freedom of expression, and there’s a lot of open source software on Github that cares about freedom of expression and not about business. In any case, we don’t really want Copyright to represent some kind of absolute ownership land-lock over every string of 100 characters, that is a bit antithetical to both Copyright and the FOSS community.

It's actually not. The CBO already built these models last year and reported that they reduced costs in nearly all cases, across the board[0]. It's only a hard problem because some billionaires want us to believe that it's a hard problem.

From the summary:

> The report makes many sound assumptions but also some questionable ones that are overly pessimistic. Yet, overall, its bottom-line estimates should reassure those concerned about the economic feasibility of single payer: The CBO projects that such reform would achieve universal coverage, bolster provider revenues for clinical services, and eliminate almost all copayments and deductibles—even as overall health care spending fell.

Story time.

I worked at Google years ago and there was a presentation once done on some optimizations done on Chrome performance. This is probably 10 years ago now.

So C++ has std::string of course. C libraries however use "const char ", which has lots of problems. The C++ designers allowed you to avoid friction here by allowing you to pass a std::string to a function expending a const char . Technically, this is an operator method.

It was discovered that the Omnibar in Chrome went through many layers of translations between std::string and const char *, back and forth, such that there were approximately 25,000 string copies per keypress in the Omnibar.

So my point is that even with a ton of resources writing good, efficient and performant C++ is still nontrivial. And that's really the point of Rust (well, one of them).

The thing I never understood was why they didn't just invest in treasuries. Yield on the US 10-year is currently north of 3.3%, closer to 2% for a while. That's under inflation, but if you're a small start-up holding 100s of millions or billions of other people's money, that's enough to hit screw-it money in a few years without the constant fear of things going terribly wrong.

> Diet, exercise, and good sleep are exactly the kinds of things that make people less frail at 90 (or 60 or 50).

To a point. There are diminishing returns where genetics begins to play more of a factor.

For many people no amount of exercise is going to help them when they're 90 because they'll die before they turn 90. Jim Fixx[0] is the perfect example of this

Unless we develop a cure for Parkinson's disease I doubt Michael J. Fox[1] will live to 90, no matter how much exercise he does, because of the effects that disease has had on his body and the side effects from the treatments that he has received.

Another way to look at it is to substitute 90 with 100, 110, or 120. Or to think about what kind of exercise and healthy eating tips that you would recommend to a person with Down's Syndrome to help them live to be 90.

People who can should absolutely exercise and eat healthy food but that is no guarantee that they will live full healthy lives.
