Pons and Fleischmann's experimental setup did not produce cold fusion. But some other variation or different catalyst material might. Yet effectively no one has carried on this work.

LK-99, or at least the manufactured samples of it, is not a superconductor. But some other variation or different manufacturing technique might. Yet I predict no one is going to look very hard in the years to come.

OOC why were you about to downvote before reading it?

I thought this was relevant because of all the disinformation spread on social media, largely driven by the US FDA, during COVID was that Ivermectin was "horse dewormer" and derided anyone who chose to take it. Social media companies silenced anyone who disagreed - including distinguished doctors and experts.

The COVID response should be studied. We need to learn what NOT to do.
There's certainly an experiential difference between consciously stopping yourself from a behavior and not needing to think about avoiding it. If you can walk by the bar/stripclub/second helping of french fries without thinking, "gee, I'd like that, but I'll abstain", then you aren't experiencing what most people would describe as "temptation".

You may be right that if abstaining becomes habitual amd automatic enough, that could be indiscernable from a state in which you have no temptation. But I'd argue it's only "self-control" for the purpose of measuring willpower as long as it requires some degree of conscious decision making.
Well, what is supposed to be good in this situation and to whom?
This study is suspiciously underpowered.

Another title could be, "65% more hospitalizations and 2 more median days of illness without ivermectin isn't sufficient evidence that it works".

Certainly this isn't evidence that it doesn't work..
So why would you build a native Android app if PWAs work better? There’s way more web developers than Android developers, and you would avoid the Play Store fees. Sound cheaper to me. What part of iOS is invalidating the value proposition for Android here?

You also didn’t answer what is missing. What is missing? What’s this insurmountable problem that’s solved everywhere else? Why is janky tooling attributable to Apple?

Just out of curiosity, in your eyes, how could this regulation not be good for consumers?
Most EMR's allow for certain boilerplate things to be inserted easily. My wife is a neurologist; it's very common for her to dictate a note saying "insert seizure precautions" and it puts in a paragraph of things that you can't do if you have seizures: take a bath, drive, get on ladders or other elevated surfaces, that sort of thing.

I've customized the hell out of my own hospital's Epic system (I'm an anesthesiologist) to make notes as easy as possible. 95% of the things I do are done the same way, every time. Back when we used paper, they had all of that in checkboxes on forms. Basically a way to say "yes, I did this legal and proper" very quickly. It was very useful because you knew that if you skipped over that and went straight to the written description on an old record, you'd actually get the important information.

Before billing criteria took over medical documents, doctors could do more because a board-certified pediatrician doing a well-baby visit could just write "18 mo WM, PMH NC, PE WNL, f/u 6 mo" (18 month old white male, past medical history noncontributory, physical exam within normal limits, follow up in six months). We had "skeletons" for reporting the most common labs in notes - just a graphic representation so you didn't have to write "Sodium 139, potassium 4.3, chloride 122, bicarb 24, BUN 9, creatinine 1.1, glucose 85".

139 | 122 | 9 /
--------------- 85
4.3 | 24 | 1.1 \

The paper medical record was subject to handwriting, but it was extraordinarily space- and time-efficient.

As in my previous comment, the lesson we should learn is that the government got many things wrong with the COVID response, people insulted their countryman for taking it, and experts who defended Ivermectin were silenced.
I went to Abingdon School, which is quite close to Culham labs (JET) in Oxfordshire, in the mid 1980s. One of my A levels was Physics. We had some boffins from JET pop on over and do a presentation to us about what they were up to. I was one of the thickies. Some of my (then) compatriots are now dons and even proper scientists! I only managed a random walk into IT.

I dimly recall a graph showing progress on how they were able to fire up the thing and the energy out compared to energy in. That graph had quite a decay on it initially but a really long tail. That long tail is where the always 25 years off meme comes from.

Nuclear fusion as an energy source is a massively complicated beast. You might like to note, say, that building for Hinkley Point C (a fission plant, Somerset, UK - just up the road from here) was started late 2018 and was due to be commissioned in 2023 and now is due in 2030. You might also note that aircraft and the like tend to take 20+ years to go from concept to service. A nuclear fusion plant will take quite a while to commission once a concept has been thrashed out.

Perhaps CF have got it sorted but there is a damn good reason for the always 25 years off "joke" - I was told it over 30 years ago by physicists working and already long time served at the coal face.

>> If the requirement was insurance up to $10 million

Hardly anyone has assets of $10 million, so they do not have the assets to insure. Many people do not even have assets of $50k, so again, why would they need insurance? If they get a judgement against them for $50k, they are bankrupt. That's what bankruptcy laws are for.

If your life is worth $10 million, you need to be the one to insure it for $10 million. Not the working class person who has no assets.

I see forced purchases of insurance for people with nothing to insure as similar to debtor's prison. Obviously not as extreme, but the same concept.
This. Attorneys are sorting through documents, highlighting relevant parts, providing summaries.

There is a subplot in Better Call Saul where Kim is punished by being assigned to days of doc review. Briefly shown in this clip:

> reviewer can do somewhere from 50-70 documents/hour

Back of the envelope calculations using your numbers and assuming an hourly rate of between $250-$400 shows this doc review costing between $100k-$200k. Seems like a sane estimate to me.

For esbuild: We know other teams that have attempted to improve code splitting based on esbuild and found it very difficult. A big part of it is that in order to be fast, esbuild applies multiple features (bundle, treeshaking, transforms) in as few AST visits possible, but that comes at the cost of the logic of different features not being layered / decoupled nicely. It is difficult for anyone other than Evan Wallace himself to add non-trivial new mechanisms to esbuild, and although we didn't directly talk to Evan about this, we felt it would be too much to ask for a substantial refactor of esbuild in order to get what we need. In addition, the people interested in making Rolldown happen has much more experience in Rust than in Go - and there is a lot more to leverage (e.g. napi-rs & Oxc) in the Rust-for-JS ecosystem.

For Rollup: the Rollup team itself has been trying to incrementally improve Rollup's performance, e.g. by swapping acorn with a Rust-based parser. But there's only so much you can gain starting from a pure JavaScript base, especially considering multicore utilization. Another aspect of the performance is in the back-and-forth between Rollup (on the JS side) and native transforms (swc, esbuild) - there is a lot of overhead repeatedly parsing / serializing ASTs and then passing strings across JS/native. By building on top of Oxc (which will ship transforms in the future) we hope to be able to stay on the native-side as much as possible to avoid such overhead.
You're taking this quite seriously, it makes me think you missed a cultural reference: GP is sarcastically quoting a movie.

It’s very common for researchers to be convinced of things they can’t currently prove. Why else are you going to spend years of your life bashing your head against a brick wall trying to prove it?

Sometimes that belief pays off spectacularly. Often it results in a junior researcher’s career going down the toilet because they or their supervisor backed the wrong horse and they ended up with nothing exciting to publish.
For all the downsides to anonymity online the ability to establish aliases and build trust using them is a powerful tool for online community building. This and the case of Beff Jezos really make a strong argument for not mandating everyone's online id be tied to their real world one.

> I'm not the least bit surprised that a bunch of my peers are claiming that they can charge to merely view emails. Many attorneys -- especially bad ones -- are particularly defensive of the practice.

Having received many email tomes from clients, I wouldn't think twice to charge for reading their email. I would typically respond, but not necessarily if they weren't asking a question, or if we were going to be meeting soon to discuss.

I don't know any attorneys (note: all the attorneys I know are corporate attorneys, so may be less bill-sensitive) who would not bill for time spent reading emails. Lawyers spend tons of time reading emails!

> FWIW I've had little trouble getting my attorneys to credit me for activities I didn't ask them to do.

This makes sense, but is somewhat orthogonal to the email question. If a client sends his lawyer a long email, he is implicitly asking the lawyer to spend the time reading the email.

Depends!

A lot of people doing this kind of stuff probably do this stuff professionally. That drops most of the “learn how everything works” part of the project and substantially lowers the effort.

I’ve got a half dozen Lenovo Tiny PCs sitting in a cobbled together wooden holder and plugged in to a cheap managed gigabit TP-Link switch. One runs TrueNAS to provide persistent storage, and the rest run Debian+k3s.

Total initial monetary investment was maybe $500 for the PCs, RAM upgrades, some additional hard drives, etc.

Total initial time investment was probably my evenings for a week. And the majority of that was fighting with the friggin’ Debian installer so I could PXE boot the machines (or any future machines) and have them automatically come up fully installed and configured and joined to the cluster with no interaction.

As far as ongoing commitment… it’s been very minimal. It just runs. If anything fails, needs an upgrade, or anything else happens… I just reboot the node and wait 10 minutes while it blows itself away and sets itself back up. Managing workloads is just editing some YAML files and pushing them up to the GitLab instance running on there.

Barely more work than running any of this on AWS and it costs substantially less than the $4k/yr or something I was paying before.
Science is a method.

Science isn't a religion, nor is it a paper, thesis, or journal. It's a method for understanding the world around us through rigorous application of testing and retesting.

Science can be trusted. Measurements and the testing and retesting can be trusted. It's people that can't be trusted.

We call people in the field of Science, Scientists. Perhaps we should stop labeling fallible and untrustworthy humans as such. Science is trustworthy. Humans are not.

How many of those 57 who purchased it, are actually using it?

The fact is that most (all?) of the sales come from the same channel/community and that the price is low enough ($27 on average) might indicate that people are simply wanted to support you, or they liked you or your content, not your product. That's the problem with builing in public trend.

You need to reach out to those who purchased, and try to do user interviews with them.

Your appraisal seems to stem from a lot of people's disillusionment with the whole OpenAI thing: namely that GenAI is a hype train and will fade away as a gimmicky toy with limited real world-use cases. It's interesting seeing that perspective, because while I think it's based on a comparison of GenAI with prior "change everything" hype trains (VR, crypto), it's clearly not the same, and you and most people really don't understand just how much everything is about to change. GenAI isn't just any other technology.

Things to not do include: randomly picking medicine "X", have it hyped up by a weird republican hype machine, and then bitterly complain when the unwarranted, evidence-free hype is denounced for being unwarranted and evidence free.

Phrased differently: Ivermectin was picked up by the republican hype machine, pretty much at random. The medical community, seeing a lot of absolute hucksters pitch a whacky treatment, fought back with mockery and derision. As it turns out, the medical community was right.
The parent comment doesn’t state it explicitly, and suggests it’s the managements fault.

One of the problems is that regulations require MD oversight but not necesssrily performing all operations. That’s a good thing but forces them into a role where they hover for a few minutes then get rushed to the next supervision activity.

Why are you cautious? Our lives don’t matter nor what we ask it. I suspect human ego has more to do with these fears than anything real or tangible.

And now we have a tech that can do that trivially. I love that it does that. And I look forward to the world and all the uncertainty it brings.

> receive money to live and survive

I’m not sure you know how generous the current welfare system is. Low income people can already receive assistance for: housing, food, internet, phones, completely free medical care and straight up cash.

Not to mention that we have made it incredibly easy to claim disability for anyone who essentially doesn’t want to work.

…but in addition to that, you’re telling me I should be giving more of my money to them? I have sympathy but I also have a limit.

Also, where are these “literally starving” people in the US? Other than mentally ill who have difficulty taking advantage of the many services available, I have yet to encounter them.

Not necessarily, no, but the system takes the short prompt of "draw me a picture of a Nazi" which then gets fed to another model to add add flavor text, and then is fed to another model which decides to add that the Nazi should be black, in Gemini's case, before it gets fed to the image generator. That last step, to add that the Nazi should be black is overhead and waste.
