This is equivalent to saying hunting and pecking on a keyboard and using only their index fingers to type is "all the typing most people need". Technically, it's true, but it's also sacrificing a lot of productivity that could be gained from a relatively modest one-off investment in learning a skill.

It's also derailing someone's Show HN with a very old and generic online argument.

It's not a standard therapy - she had to go to extremely specific specialists, including USAMRID. I've seen her talk multiple times, and am a great admirer of hers, but phage as they are are very much last ditch, bespoke treatments.

Specialist ID physicians know - there's whole sessions about it at major infectious disease conferences. But there's a huge gap between "Knowing" and "Have the capability to use this in practice".

Yet there is an extreme aversion to “de-regulation” as if all regulation is good and any attempt at reforming bad regulation is reactionary and evil. The regulatory state is ever-expanding and contracts only rarely in very isolated instances.

You know what's compelling about this?

What's compelling is that this AI figured it out faster then many humans would've.

I don't think you can call this thing sentient, but it is equally naive to say that this thing is completely and obviously not sentient.

It's not clear what's going on here. Whatever this is, it's blurring the boundaries between human intelligence and artificial. At the very least, I hope we all can agree on this.
You haven’t driven a lot of manuals then. My friend’s dad once got his hyundai up the porch starting it with a gear in.
It is absolutely disgusting how much gets done in this world simply because someone needed to stroke their ego. Legacies, bonuses... pah. Pathetic how predictably selfish we humans really are.

What really strikes me is the lack of customer centricity in all this. Do they want the change? Do they think the existing look is outdated? Do they like the old look? Pah. Who cares! I have a legacy to cement and a bonus to secure!

(Besides the usual MBA word-vomit mumbo jumbo like 'modern utility', but we all know those are just made up excuses)

Maybe a brand should just be... a brand. A brand isn't your friend, it isn't human, it isn't alive, and it most certainly only exists to take your money and put it in their account -- and, in tech, more often than not through some rent-seeking subscription model because nobody likes us actually owning anything anymore.
How much has he lost in his stake of Twitter as its share price decreases? Why would he use Twitter as cover when he could use much better alternatives? Why would he waive normal due diligence that is customary if it was a fancy plan to exit Twitter from the beginning?
Almost everything in this comment is wrong or misleading.

The point of an acquisition agreement isn’t to give the buyer optionality to acquire another company, it’s to ensure the buyer honors its commitment to acquire another company during the period between the time the buyer agrees to acquire it, and the time is it able to close on taking ownership.

Maybe EM developed buyer’s remorse because of the decline in equity markets, or a belated realization that the CCP will have significant leverage on how he runs twitter, or just woke up the day after signing with that feeling you get when you realize you’ve knocked up Grimes not once but twice.

Just because EM wants an escape hatch, doesn’t make it so. There’s a pretty tight contract that says he needs to buy twitter, at the agreed price, using the committed financing he arranged. EM can try to retrade the price all day long, but then there’s still that pesky matter of a binding contract… to buy Twitter… at the price he agreed with the board… that doesn’t have a diligence out or an “ehhh changed my mind” termination provision.

For a variety of reasons, the board doesn’t have a tremendous number of appealing options (like none) but they have a strong contract that explicitly contains EM’s affirmative obligation to, y’know, buy Twitter. That fact has very little to do with his feeling.

You’ll bike to the station, then you’ll need to bring your bike on the train (not sure if they allow this) and then bike again at your destination (or they need to build out share bike infrastructure), and keep in mind that LA is bike theft central so you’ll need to seriously lock down your stuff (unlike the Netherlands or where I live, Japan), and keep in mind that the “highways” I’m referring to aren’t sensible European/Japanese sized highways, but instead 8 lane each way hellscapes. Add the fact that for much of the year it’s 35C+, people already think transit is bullshit there, you’re probably on the train for at least an hour since everything is so sprawled out and there’s no express trains, and like I mentioned, the stations are 100% of the time not even close to anything of interest - no thanks, I’ll stick with a sensibly designed system.

Do we really need to assign a financial motive to Elon Musk?! Musk is in it for his own entertainment. Period. And that greed changes as often as the phases of the moon. It's a good story to his following to come out financially ahead. It's also a good story to the libertarian crowd to drag the issues of bot accounts and free speech into court. And if the deal were to have gone through, I'm sure Musk would have made a great story forming an Alphabet/Berkshire-like holding company across Tesla, SpaceX, and his other amusements. And of course daily amusement of adding a Twitter edit button, an irony mode, etc.

But what will the legacy of all this mess be? It's looking a lot like Howard Hughes, except that Hughes successfully monetized his stage presence. Elon has officially thrown in the towel, and spit in the face of his wider audience in the process.

> the author apparently has examples, but refuses to share any

Evolution.

Mic drop . . .
This is a great job of describing the social landscape as seen by an introvert.
So... the example the author provides is super contrived. There's no problem with that. But I would expect a contrived example demonstrate the point without obvious holes. So I'm going to poke an obvious hole which IMO extends to overall idea the author is presenting.

Claiming that a horse is majestic is not an "idea" in the "product idea" or "feature idea" sense.

But let's assume for a moment that someone imagines a majestic creature in their mind. The person sees this beautiful majestic creature in their head. They can't wait to tell everyone about this beautiful idea. And when they decide to share it... they share an objectively ugly ass stick figure drawing...

Do you see the problem?

How one presents an idea is critical in validating it for a broader organization or society. If the person with the idea can't tell the difference between an ugly ass stick figure drawing and the majesty in their mind then how are you supposed to trust their vision? Their understanding of majesty is obviously disconnected from reality.

Okay let's translate this to something more real world.

Suppose you're a principal engineer or architect or whatever those people are called these days. You come in to work on a Monday and a mid-level engineer asks to meet you because they have a great idea. They were so excited that they even created a little demo over the weekend to show it off.

The demo goes horribly. Every step of the way something breaks. The engineer can't clearly describe what the idea is as they stumble through layers of complex problems and solutions. The meeting ends and you walk away confused and mildly annoyed at having your time wasted.

Perhaps the engineer did discover something interesting. But if they're not able to distill a demo into what makes their idea awesome then it would be irresponsible for you to blindly trust that the idea would work in practice. Now obviously in this context "idea" doesn't mean "use this function instead of that function and you get a 10x perf boost". That's simple. I'm talking about something more complicated like a new paradigm or way to architect your systems.

My point is this. Presentation matters. It doesn't need to be pretty. You don't need to be eloquent. But when you present an idea it needs to do an exceptional job of demonstrating itself to peers. It's not the job of your peers to unpack your brilliance - that's on you.

This is armchair speculation. Even if the text might seem to be clear in outsider interpretation, this is a matter solely for the courts to determine and both sides will have an opportunity to make their points across. I stand by prediction of the board ending up settling this case. It will get obviously challenged in court, but it's not "wrong" in the sense of predicting an outcome.

Hey, no it’s not a parody lmao. I shipped it because realised it could have at least some utility while building it. To be fair, the wrong examples would be an oversight on my part, but I thought of them being more of genuine benchmark of what GPT3 was capable of; sort of like an experimental feature. I’m working hard on refining the results by fine tuning DaVinci and getting the output as close to ideal as possible — I think there’s a lot of potential there. In the end, even boosting a user’s productivity marginally is a win in my book, and as a lot of people have pointed out, it’s already doing that to some extent.
I think McDonald's has the best logo of all time. Coca-Cola's pretty much requires the text -- the stripe alone probably isn't universally recognizable. And Diet Coke, Coke Zero, etc all have variations. Meanwhile the Golden Arches don't need any accompaniment, they are plastered on everything, and, just like I used it above, the logo itself has a name.
What this article misses is how most of these old designs are also unoriginal, using typefaces that were overused:

- Fonts with a playful, often outlined style for Web 2.0 era companies, emphasizing the human element of users being contributors
This is only a surprise if you thought Open Source wasn't you slaving away for big tech.
Based on my experience, I agree.

The only thing I would like to add is that going low carb does not necessarily have to be extreme (20gms per day or similar). It could be just cutting out high GI foods, or having such food in small quantities after your main meal. Tolerance for carbs varies in individuals and all you need to do is find your limit. Also, 48 hours fast is great but you can do as little as skip a meal every day (say 16:8 intermittent fast) to start seeing benefits: improved mood and energy.

I wanted to chime in just to make sure that people do not read your comment and say "oh, that's beyond me." A small step in the general direction of reducing carb intake and fasting for a few hours a day will go a long way for most people.
I once had a nasty case of food poisoning from a zucchini salad that I made. I always assumed it was from not washing them properly or undercooking them, but maybe this was it! In any case, my wife still hates zucchini even though it’s been many years since that incident.

Great observation. So why? Why does that happen? That's the interesting thing, isn't it?

Why do people assume it's all about them? Or react that way? Why are they so deeply entrenched in their beliefs? Because they are correct? All of them?

That's where it gets interesting because it gets closer to a real definition of a problem instead of a set of symptoms.

I think its clear that there is a set of people well are willing to violate certain laws because the consequences of such are trivial. That scales up with wealth because most misdemeanors result in a fixed monetary fine - which is less impactful for someone with wealth.

When the consequences of a law violation are trivial, it’s no longer serving as a deterrent. So I think we need to find a way to deter everyone, kind of on a sliding scale or something?

Likewise, there needs to be real consequences for corporations which take advantage of paying fines as a cost of doing business. One violation can be a mistake, but it sure as heck better give you a solid reason to never do it again.

> [...] where we mostly learned things from outdated books

I can recommend 3 really good books, SICP-level good:

1. Biological Sequence Analysis by Durbin et al.

How to model DNA, RNA and proteins as probabilistic languages / generative models. There is also a companion book with all exercises solved.

2. Physical Biology of the Cell by Phillips et al.

A massive amount of quantitative cell biology models that use simple undergrad physics.

Originated from a Caltech course. After reading this book, all other intro to biology books look like a bag of tricks.

3. An Introduction to Systems Biology: Design Principles of Biological Circuits by Alon.

Bacterial circuits from the perspective of an electrical engineer.

Sadly, NSF discontinued funding for a totally epic Cold Spring Harbor Summer school for postdocs that taught [2,3].

A shame, we need more quantitative biology and less bags of tricks.
Thanks. Agreed with you. It’s just a start and we’re working on more SDKs. Stay tuned.

Which brings me back to my original question: When should a miscarriage be investigated by the government. Not "when does life start". Not "is abortion morally wrong". Not "is abortion murder". When should the government get involved?

If 50% of fertilized eggs are naturally lost in the first week, how do you decide which should be investigated by the government? Should the government be examining women for IUDs?

> Unless the parents died, or were themselves trying to commit the murder and so are now in jail, responsibility for the child in the future will remain with them and not with the government.

So the mother carries the baby to term. Can she simply leave the hospital without paying after giving birth? Does she have to take the baby home? Does she have to love the baby? Does the government get to enforce that too?
