I've seen "thought experiments" (not sure they're quite that, but close enough) like that for a variety of things. The big numbers I've seen that done for most often are: unique shufflings of a deck of playing cards (about 10^68), atoms in the universe (about 10^80), and a googol (10^100). I've definitely seen the playing card one involve the walk around the world, pile of paper, grand canyon, etc (also drain the ocean a drop at a time, IIRC).
Many people, especially in a certain political class, have confused their movement's rhetoric with reality.

The rhetorical tactic is to make yourself the victim, always, all the time. If you're criticized or prosecuted or bad news comes out, you're being persecuted. You can see it all the time, yet few seem to notice the pattern.

It also fits other rhetorical tactics: 1) Always stay on the offensive, no matter what; keep the intiative. Attacking the critics is the offensive; responding to criticism is not. 2) Attack the opposition with your own weakness: If you're a liar, call them liars; if you persecute people, call them persecutors. This confuses the issue and disarms them.

Rationally and factually, the victim narrative is usually BS. There is all the difference in the world between bad news, etc. based on facts and that based on falsehoods, and especially there is all the difference between attacks on established powers and attacks on the vulnerable. Punching up is an essential social function, to protect society and hold the established powers accountable; punching down is oppression (and true victimization).

But the rhetoric works because everyone has embraced the post-truth way, abandoning post-modernism (which is fundamentally a distrust of power) and its tools, and have very effectively disarmed themselves.
They know that eventually this will fade from the news and people will forget how bad the company is. They probably want to keep quiet until then. Hopefully, this attention will lead to some positive changes so that Americans can get better health insurance.
Because you can't DRM a liquid but you can DRM a charger. Vertical monopolies are always a good business plan when there's no regulations to prevent you from forcing people to buy your overpriced "premium certified" garbage instead of paying market rate for the same thing from a generic brand.
I’m not confused here, to be clear. There is a giant transformer that converts from mid voltage AC to low voltage AC at most installations. Because they draw so much power they need their own dedicated transformers. There’s sometimes (depending on the installation) a separate cabinet to convert the AC to DC and then transfers it to dispensers, though, as you say. The more modern high power ones tend to use separate cabinets, I’d agree. Older ones could take 3-phase AC directly since they’re much lower power overall.
Selfishness is the opposite of compassion, and when one has chosen to prioritize money over human beings, they have left the Path of Loving Wisdom. The heartless CEOs of these corps are chosen for a deliberate set of reasons and after serious backgrounding. For that kind of money, they're not taking any chances, those selfish, callously cruel fools.

So long as they don't kill anyone or break any laws, we must let our local criminal justice systems perform their duties. Our criminal justice system here in America has all the processes we need to justly maintain society, where each person can be prosecuted for their crimes in an honest and honorable system without regard to station in society or wealth. That is all possible and it's the stated design.

Remember that until one decides to improve oneself's capability and desire to be compassionate, one only sees others in a predatory way, either with selfish desire or callous disregard. But we are not lions of the Serengeti, we are human beings with the capability for humanity, being a humanitarian, caring for others, as our highest human potential.

If only our economic system rewarded such people with positions of influence and power, then the world could change for the better, but under democracy -- the best system we know of -- the govts always reflect the amorality of the populace, often shrunk down to a very select group of citizens. I believe in a person having to earn my trust, just as I believe the same for me with respect to them.
Went though a cancer journey with a loved one a few years ago. I was quite surprised at the complete lack of specialized guidance on nutrition. It was basically ‘eat healthy’, which isn’t bad advice but it seems like there are probably optimizations to be had there.

I don't think you have to argue for junk DNA to state that the article in question fails utterly to explain the findings except by way of not being the straw-man "junk".

Yes, we find the significance of DNA by knocking it out and seeing what happens.

Yes, crispr/cas-9 or /cas13 can be used for knocking out.

Yes, it's interesting to compare across models to find relatively conserved behaviors.

That's all known and done.

What could be interesting about these results is exactly how they achieved scale and variety at reasonable time and cost. Labs typically build expertise in a particular model organism, and it's very hard to get things right in many cell types, no less to run essentially thousands of experiments. Developers have a vague sense of 3nm semiconductor process and the potential for on-chip memory (both yield/quality and potential), but we (I) have no sense how good the process is underlying findings like this.
I agree with this take. AI has essentially served me well as a more useful search engine when working in new languages, libraries, or frameworks.

> "one way in which high levels of fructose consumption promote tumor growth is by increasing the availability of circulating lipids in the blood. "

Glad to see more research on this. Until recently, people trying to sound the alarm with regards to high fructose consumption (mainly high fructose corn syrup) have been dismissed.

Excess fructose consumption increases tryglicerides, uric acid. Just uric acid alone causes a lot of issues, from heart disease to erectile dysfunction(inhibits NOX), even before gout starts. The range that's considered 'normal' has changed over time, but I feel it's too high.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7352635/

Note that fruits are unlikely to be an issue (except perhaps as fruit juice). Most people don't eat enough of them and they have plenty of nutrients that are beneficial.

EDIT:

> “Interestingly, the cancer cells themselves were unable to use fructose readily as a nutrient because they do not express the right biochemical machinery,” Patti said. “Liver cells do. This allows them to convert fructose into LPCs, which they can secrete to feed tumors.”

Forgot about this. Non alcoholic fatty liver disease has been on the rise for a while now, and it's mostly the high fructose corn syrup again.
I had expected this to come down to "Hey, a guy is dead, could we take a moment here?"

But no, they really seem to be complaining about the attention paid to policies that really should have gotten attention a long, long time ago.

He is right, though: refer journalists to the media department. If you're not authorized to speak on behalf of the company, don't. Even if you are, deflection is the safe thing to do, because the press is not your friend and dealing with them is best left to the people who make a living at it.

His company is going to get beat up for a few media cycles. And then it will go away. His media department knows this, because that's what they do.
But at least you expect them to eventually get better. AI is more like a junior developer with anterograde amnesia.

Corbalt | Software Engineer - Technical Lead | US (Remote) | Full-time | corbalt.com

Corbalt builds great software infrastructure to enable better digital services in critical areas of people's lives.

Corbalt was born out of the problematic launch of healthcare.gov. We were part of the tech team that came in to help fix healthcare.gov and were inspired by how much everyone cared and worked hard to fix the site (from tech team members, to government contractors, and government employees), and how much progress we made together in a short time.

We're hiring a Software Engineer Technical Lead to oversee a team of engineers building and operating systems for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This person will represent the team from a technical perspective, working closely with the government to develop a vision based on their needs and your expertise. This role is great for someone who is excited about mentoring other engineers and helping them grow their careers.

> Do government healthcare ministers and other administrators responsible for single-payer systems deserve to die too?

No, because as you point out there are legitimate reasons to deny coverage.

However, when your competitors are denying at a rate of something like 10->15% and you are denying at 36%, that goes beyond just managing resources or fraud prevention.

Your question is a false dichotomy.

> What about legislators who limit healthcare budgets to below 100% of GDP (which is to say all of them); should they be summarily executed?

Again, false dichotomy. Primarily because it's not even provable that 100% of GDP going to healthcare would actually save more lives than 99% or 50%. Further, unless you have a very expansive definition of what healthcare means (food? housing? etc?) then putting 100% of the budget towards it would ultimately starve out necessary industries for life thus causing death.

The real question to ask is "Can an insurance company be moral if it denies legitimate claims" my answer to that is no. Pragmatically, I can excuse some of it to human error as that'll happen. People will die from accidents and that's just a part of life. However, let's not pretend that there isn't a massive incentive for these large companies to deny as many claims as possible with no market forces and few regulations to impede them.

A government denying a liver transplant to a 90 year old is quiet different from a health insurance agency blanket denying cancer treatment because it costs them too much money.
That there is no outrage is a deeply questionable proposition. Folks generally don't get whacked in broad daylight for no reason. Social media turning one's murder into a block party likewise signals pretty deep seated animosity.

> It would be strange if they didn't also use these models to generate much more sophisticated models of their user's interests and generate the hyper targeted advertising

You have the sequence reversed as Meta already created ad targeting models. Meta was forced to scale its AI competence for ad targeting when Apple sent out a privacy update that destroyed tracking-based ad-serving and tanked Meta's share price by deleting billions in revenue for Meta over many quarters. Now that Meta has this skill as a core-competence, they are creating new models for public release. Why they are doing so is debatable[2], but I imagine the cost is marginal since they already had the GPU clusters, talent and know-how for survival purposes.

Costs are bounded. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) imposed an 85% minimum medical loss ratio on most health plans.

Many commercial health insurers are non-profit. That includes such large organizations as many of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association licensees, HighMark, EmblemHealth, etc. Their coverage and claim processing policies are pretty similar to the for-profit companies.

> quality of life issues caused by the homeless they are referring to the subset of homeless people that are "unsheltered".

Quality of life issues for others are not caused by "homelessness". They are caused by mental illness, or crime, or very aggressive lack of care for others. Being homeless is not what causes someone to spread garbage everywhere, to poop on the sidewalk, to break car windows.

Blaming homelessness is a political act. By someone who has a political axe to grind - and who doesn't give a crap about quality of life issues.

In the same line, see the fight against people living in RVs. Many of them cause no problem, others do.

In the same line, see San Francisco "street cleaning" parking hassles. Is it about street cleaning? What street cleaning?

I hope this has actually been tested, and that this is not a (quite reasonable) assumption. (but per below, it's not easy to test)

But when you say "most won't do it when it's offered", surely it has to be a higher percentage than people who choose to sign up for a subscription when offered? (though yes, a subscription will bring more revenue)

I guess this mostly annoys me because I've personally never been offered. And I would.

> You cannot be serious. The EU has put up tariffs on EVs because the EU car industry who had 10 years to get ready decided that it was better to keep building diesel engines than invest in EVs.

Voters in Europe are not screaming for cheaper Chinese EVs-- they want economies improved, mostly, and anything weakening the local (automotive) industry (even electrification itself) is regarded very skeptically (especially in countries like Germany, France, Italy).

> You forgot the Irak war and Afghanistan and the fake WMDs.

I'm not saying that those were justified (especially not in hindsight), but the Americans had gotten hit very hard before and had a somewhat credible justification at the start.

Russia, on the other hand, never experienced a Spetember 11-- they only shot down those civilian airliners themselves (MH17).

it's certainly hard to localize everything but billions of people use ios/android in India, China, SEA, MENA, etc... i think it's fair to say that at the end user level, computers are in fact usable by non-English speakers.

individual apps may not be as usable, but that's on the developers. good counter-example, a lot of japanese games, even made within the past 5 years, require setting the Windows system locale to Japanese to function properly. and as someone who played a fair number of japanese doujin games in the 00s/10s, it used to be every game with this problem.
