Blood concentrations rise because grapefruit slows liver processing. That's not the same as grapefruit increasing the risk of acetaminophen liver damage, which is the OD concern. I'm not saying it doesn't, but I've never read that warning and I've been taking it for fifteen years. You'd want to show the research that states that grapefruit increases acetaminophen toxicity.

They even sell extended release acetaminophen, which prolongs liver processing. Though, I'm not a fan because I think it is rougher on the liver. But health damaging risk is another issue.

Families/households are also smaller so we need more homes, all else being equal.
That wouldn't do anything, as there's still a shortage of houses. They'd need to collectively invade and stop all the people involved in preventing housing construction, which is a LOT of people!
But it's a paid service requiring your phone number, vs free google search!

As I mentioned in another post, When I asked ChatGPT who the author of a particular published book from 2015 was, it confidently made up the author's name. Google correctly answered with the right author's name when asked the exact same question.

GPT doesn't have my trust, and I'm not sure why so many are throwing money, and their phone numbers, and their trust at ChatGPT.

Is this facetious? What constitutes the greater good is the entire point of government. Many things you think are obvious are lines another would die to prevent--this is the basis of civics.
Sorry for misreading you; I appreciate the clarification. You're right of course. Thanks for pointing out the tools like Readwise – I wasn't aware of that, and it's super helpful.

For American readers, the Amstrad was launched by the guy who hosted The Apprentice TV Show in the UK, who named it after himself (initials AMS). It'd be grossly unfair to call Lord Sugar the British Trump for a number of reasons (he didn't come from money, he's a billionaire, etc), but still:

Also, of course, one should keep in mind demographic shifts. There are many small towns (and even some city suburbs) with cheap empty houses that many people would never willingly occupy because there are no jobs there.
I had a massive, tanklike ETL I had designed. Over-engineered, really. It was built to keep truckin' as best it could and issue instructions on what was wrong, exactly where, how to fix it, and so on. Missing data? Call one of these three people. Also, here's the file where you update if these people have left. Warnings over errors, errors over terminating. Pored over it, working out edge cases, then corner cases, then situations I was told would "never" happen. Then it was set free like a strandbeest to do its thing, only receiving reports, occasional requests for more data. Finally, something odd came up in warnings, but not in errors, and I was shocked. How did the system handle this? Got a little curious ... I guess I had a good day here and a good day there, because although I currently did not "get it," the program did. My contributions had built something which was not merely consistent, but collectively had become smarter than I for this problem. I think my little process was its own super intelligence in its hyper-specific niche.
I think the toxicity and addictiveness of modern social media are a whole different ballgame from the forums and chat rooms of old. The forums we grew up with weren’t explicitly trying to maximize “engagement” by showing the most viral content and distorting perspectives of the world around us. The fact that most of the forums were anonymous meant that people could be honest if they wanted to, but also bred a healthy skepticism of what strangers were up to, I think.
Eh. I live in a house built in the 1820s. Older houses are pretty common in New England. So what so long as things are covered up.

Doesn't have to. It just has to make it easier for a developer to do, say, 1/5th the work to get the same results he gets today doing it alone.
Agriculture uses about 80-85% of California's water, yet when there's a drought environmentalists point at lawns and swimming pools as the culprit.

In fact, ag water in the US is super low compared to residential rates, which is why CA grows almonds and lettuce.

Farms may be required, but their inefficiency and waste are not necessary at all. Very few industries become more efficient without cost pressures.

Is bottled water wasteful? Compared to what? Do you dislike it because it's commercial? Farms aren't commercial? is your belief in something's utility to society is how we should judge human activity?

It's possible that Mike had tried using PixiJS at one point since he was working on Ruffle for several years before I found it. I'd have to hunt through the early Git commits to find evidence for this one way or another.
It really depends who you are, but NSAIDs also have their fair share of potential dangers. They are particularly linked to higher risks of heart attacks and strokes [1], but also ulcers and in rare cases other problems.

As for me, whenever I take an NSAID (including Aspirin), my chest feels like it's going to explode. It's not a painful feeling, but it is not a good feeling. It also sometimes gets difficult to breathe. And it's been this way my entire life, so I shun them completely.

As for acetaminophen, the dangers mainly stem from overdose, overuse, and using it with alcohol consumption. Avoid that and it's pretty safe.

Sure, that way lies intuitionism, which is a perfectly respectable (if not particularly popular) school of mathematics.

> Once you think you can reduce something unknowable, to a symbol, you can prove anything.

That doesn't follow. If ZFC is trivially inconsistent then someone would probably have noticed by now and proved P && !P for some P and brought it crashing down. That hasn't happened though, so even if you have strong aesthetic preferences against infinite sets being actually real, it seems like you can treat them as if they are real and produce a productive and not-obviously-inconsistent mathematical system. Most mathematicians don't really care if the naturals are actually infinite or just can be productively treated as if they are.
Great product to see how any property can be remodeled and decorated within a few minutes! Huge value for agents, sellers, buyers and stagers!
The issue here is that you have to use text prompts (because the overwhelming bulk of training data out there available for AI is in the form of text). Ideally you should be able to sculpt and rig and paint manually via AI tools - the tweaks you do to a sculpture should be inputs to an AI system that can give you an intuitive and responsive system that replaces current procedural generation.

This is a trick I learned a long time ago, and why I still hate standup. If I need/want to do something, the more time I actually spend talking or thinking about it, the less likely it is to get done.

Can't != don't have to
More and more often care is gated by prior authorizations by insurance. This is because insurance companies have more and more often required many procedures to have a prior authorization before hand and will refuse to pay bills if a prior auth wasn’t obtained.

My proposed policy would apply both to prior authorizations and post care claims.

Post care claim denials can be serious too. If you need repeated treatments a denial to a claim can have an impact on your ability to receive subsequent treatments.

I have a dear friend that was suddenly paralyzed, and now needs ongoing PT from specialists to work to regain use of their limbs. Their insurance has tried to get out of paying the bills several times (they’ve gotten it done so far, but each of the claims has been… a near thing). If one of those bills doesn’t go through, their ability to continue PT at this facility would almost certainly be impacted.

So, yes, a claim denial may impact ongoing care in similar manner to a prior authorization denial.

Finally, I’d actually want to add criminal liability for what was described in this particular article.

> “We literally click and submit,” one former Cigna doctor said. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.”

A doctor working for an insurance company issuing medical denials in this kind of a scheme should be facing jail time, not just personal liability or professional discipline.
The authorship tool still exists, it’s called Adobe Animate now and can export projects to all sorts of targets, including web.
I'm always very unimpressed by this kind of argumentation. There's a clear difference in kind between Hackernews, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok. Sure, they all feature user-submitted content, but to pretend that there is any meaningful similarity beyond that seems silly.
Probably because the idea of the standards group was that you already had REMOVE and COMPLEMENT, so there was no need for it.

It didn't take the job in the sense that the OP is still employed. It changed the job into something that barely resembles what the OP was hired to do. It's not quite constructive dismissal, but many people choose fields for reasons of maximizing income. It's hard to stay motivated doing something you hate, especially when a week ago your job had you doing something you love. And that says nothing about the OP's ethical quandry about IP laundering.

I might be too cynical, but given the reported productivity gains, it's quite possible the company decides they can do with a single artist. Or if less skilled artists can generate similar results with suitable AI prompts, it'll probably drive wages down, making the OP expendable. I'd imagine at the very least it sets a ceiling on advancement.
In practice the wealthy and connected are likely to be somewhat advantaged either way. Whatever system you set up is going to get gamed, whether that means having someone ghostwrite/coach their admissions essays, exaggerate their recommendation letters, prep them (or even help them cheat) on admissions tests, train them in exclusive sports, help them obtain experiences inaccessible to other students such as working in a research laboratory or visiting exotic places, or just directly bribe the school with cash. But IMO you still have to try to push back against those games.

The purely test-based system is absolutely ruinous for some kinds of ambitious parents’ children. Look at the childhoods of kids growing up in e.g. South Korea or some Chinese social classes. It’s nonstop test prep from morning to night starting from age 3 or 4 through the end of high school. Sure some of the kids who succeed in that system are “working hard for it”, but at what cost?

And while one particular extraordinary disadvantaged kid might succeed in that system, it’s not any kind of general recipe for social mobility or fixing large-scale social justice problems.
You can write a program that will always generate a real number, but you can't write a program that will generate all of the reals, or even any single real that's irrational (like pi). And the vast, vast majority of reals are irrational.

The best you can do is a program that generates a crude approximation to an irrational, because you'd need an infinite number of states to write the entire number and every physical computer has a finite number of states.

If your program that sits on top restarts the underlying program, then it will generate a repeating binary sequence. And that's a rational number.
I just say what I do, which is write overly complicated code to make websites that have no right to be fancy.
We don't know if that is the primary cause though. The US population was growing at a quicker rate for much of it's history, and that population was more rural, and a number of other reasons we can't rely solely on historical data for our predictions of current behavior. With a closer to zero population growth rate and a more urbanized population we would expect there to be fewer houses built.

Additionally, the pure supply and demand argument is insufficient because it does not explain why we have failed to create the additional supply to meet the demand. In a pure sandboxed supply/demand analysis with no other factors, we would expect to see supply increase as demand increases since in theory it means building homes is more profitable. The high school version of supply/demand is that they balance eachother eventually and the timeframe over which that happens is influenced by the elasticity in price of the good in question. Something about how the housing market functions has changed in some locations.
Whenever somebody claims it would be easy to feed a family from some small farmland, it’s very clear that they’ve never had to live anywhere near that lifestyle. It’s terribly difficult and unpredictable.

> Highways are no different from healthcare. I don't care if the government does them. You use it you pay for it.

So you’d pay for law enforcement and a military, but without roads and highways they would be ineffective.

What is your proposal? Do police and soldiers have to pay money for its use?

> You have no idea how much I make, which your claim entirely depends on

And you have no idea whether I’m overpaying for healthcare to subsidize your care.

Those services you’re enjoying now and the professionals you’re relying on? Those are costs far beyond just the single treatment and whatever private insurance you’re paying for.
I've found a good middle ground is to call myself an "amateur photographer", "amateur interior designer", etc.

It leaves room for both motivation and humility.
Critically, many patients also require ongoing services, where a claim denial wouldn’t prevent you from receiving the first service, but it may absolutely impact the second, third, etc.

So, I don’t think I’d exempt claim denials from my proposed regulation. Named doctor, personally and professionally liable from the consequences of their denial.

>I’ve never seen a unionized software company make good software.

This is a non-sequitur. Are you misunderstanding how unions work?

It's not that a particular company should unionize, but rather the software developers at every company.

The union's role is to advocate for the interests of software developers in the industry as a whole, not oversee particular software development projects.
Regulation blocking mortgage porting is unfortunate.
Yep, basically we should make it much easier to identify the specific doctor that is responsible for the denial (to make them easier to sue personally, and discipline professionally), and we should make the liability for such a denial extremely explicit.

As long as you have time and you keep counting, you can count anything.

But eventually you will have to stop.

Counting infinity is a contradiction, as you can never stop. Hence you can never get a final output.

It doesn’t make sense that the cardinality of the set of natural numbers is some finite symbol (aleph-null). We can never truly know the cardinality of that set, because we can’t count to infinity.

There’s an additional issue here. Which is: what does it mean to count?

Because counting natural numbers usually means generating them in a certain order.

The issue is that we cant come up with a way to produce reals in an orderly way one after the other.

But we can always generate a random real number, then add it to a set in a position between a smaller and a bigger number. That way the set will always be in order, even if the number wasn’t produced right after a smaller number and before a bigger number. The order is essentially ad-hoc and varies as you generate the set. And if you kept going “for infinity” you would generate all the real numbers.

But we can never count to infinity, not even for the natural numbers.
This actually gets at the heart of the problem with the current batch of LLMs.

They have no concept of truth, and so will gladly generate tokens that are "likely", but are at best clearly wrong, or worse look correct to a non-expert, but are subtly wrong.

With software at least you can run it and inspect the behavior for flaws. Or have the results be validated by an actual programmer for correctness. And hopefully the developer using the LLM understands the limitations, and understands how it can hallucinate incorrect but convincing results.

However even software engineers I know, who are aware of all of the above issues, will ask ChatGPT questions about fields they aren't familiar with and view the results as authoritative. It's the same effect as when you read a news article about a topic you're familiar with and can immediately see flaws, shortcuts and exaggerations; but then you turn the page to a topic you aren't an expert it and say to yourself "what an interesting article".

The example from the article is even worse, since the author asked for an explanation of the code, and it hallucinated a clear and convincing but completely wrong explanation. Again to a programmer it is obvious, but to a layperson it's actively deceptive.

I could easily imagine a scenario where some asks ChatGPT, what is the best combination of chemicals to clean mold from a ceramic surface, and it responding with "Bleach and Vinegar are the perfect way to clean a ceramic surface." and following up with an explanation like "Vinegar de-greases the surface allowing the the disinfectant power of the bleach to penetrate into the mold". Which all sounds reasonable, unless you know beforehand that those chemicals mixed produces toxic chlorine gas.

Now that was definitely a contrived example, but unless you know and constantly question the output of an LLM you could easily be misled. Especially if you are asking about topics outside of it's training data or with minimal training examples.

Maybe with enough training data or some combination of transformers with reinforcement learning that has a "truth" metric, hallucinating completely incorrect information can be reduced to an acceptable level. But at this point it seems intractable.
We’ve always had endless wars, endless poverty, endless divisiveness, endless media fearmongering, etc. Those things have all been much worse in the past than they are today (maybe not the media fearmongering). But youth (and adults too) weren’t exposed to it every waking minute of their day the way they are today.
