I've only read the first of Caro's LBJ biographies, 'The Path to Power', but I'd very much agree. I plan to read one annually, but last year's Caro was 'The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York.' How Moses acquired the power (genius, legislation, money and, through them, influence) to physically reshape New York City and State seems pretty relevant to understanding how things work today.

I consider Caro's short book, 'Working', a gateway drug for the longer books.
Morello is.
I gave you my reasoning, we simply disagree. And that's ok.

Its not at a stage I'd be comfortable to put it on GitHub yet, maybe in a few months.

And I think you misunderstood my comment, I didn't describe my project, but extrapolated from the parents desire and my motivations for my project.

Mine is actually pretty close to stagehand, at least I could very well use it. It's basically a web UI to configure browser tasks like open webpage x, iterate over "item type", with LLM integration to determine what the CSS selector for that would be.
On next execution it would attempt to use the previously determined CSS selector instead of the LLM integration. On failures, it'd raise a notification with an admin tasks to verify new selectors/fix the script

But it's a lot of code to put together as a generic UI - as I want these tasks to be repeatable without restarting from the beginning etc

Still very much in the PoC stage without any tests, barely working persistence etc

I suggest looking into hyperthermia therapy (which is used in combination with immune system priming drugs, and sometimes traditional chemical/radiation treatments)

Unfortunately the classic easy external way it’s done isn’t the best fit for brain application, as it’s literally heating the body up in a sauna to a point where heat reactive proteins are generated. This forces the cancer to either open up various cellular transport mechanisms (announcing itself to the immune system) or denature (and die). This is repeated multiple times, and can actually be so effective and the doctor overseeeing the treatment needs to be careful not to kill off too much cancer at once if there is a large amount, due to the resulting necrosis.

However related to this for deep body use is using radiation devices or probes to heat tumorous areas deeper in the body, or outright use laser probes to not-quite-burn places. This can allow access to otherwise inoperable tumors. See Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT)

Hyperthermia therapies are lesser known for some tragic reason, but they are FDA approved.

Undefined behavior is behavior you can't avoid implementing, because no matter what your compiler and runtime do, it complies with the spec. In particular getting valid addresses to other objects from out-of-bounds address arithmetic is not just conformant with the C standard but by far the most common conforming behavior.

Afaik, Koa is old, was supposed to be the next express, but somehow it never gained enough traction. That's my understanding. From a technical standpoint, Koa was all about composing middleware and using JS generators. I don't think that's relevant anymore.

> [...] incredible that a small team [...]

Here, this. Small, focused teams usually deliver more output per person (or even overall) than larger ones. Less management overhead, clear goals and responsibilities, tendency to employ people with cross-disciplinary experience, hiring for talent and not checklists, etc.

> [...] can somehow use LLMs more effectively [...]

LLMs are an incredibly effective tool for the few areas where they do fit the problem. But there's so much "AI" hype going on, everyone is trying to cram it into anything and everything, running around with a hammer trying to smash things just in case they turn out to be a nail. Even the old-time players (who should know better) can't resist the urge.

It's almost like oligopolies faced with changing markets tend to start collapsing under their own weight.

The whole point of the post is that many have updated their beliefs too much.
I was wondering about this too—it's super interesting! Did you create this? Could you add graphs showing acceleration and deceleration? Also, this might be a dumb question, but how does mass factor into the energy calculations? I would love to see graphs that include the multiple stages of travel (acceleration and deceleration) as well as the mass of various kinds of fuel required for different propulsion systems such as chemical rocket, nucular etc.
I agree it might be missing a few options or some developers might identify as multiple options, but for now it's a good start to at least approach recruiters who specialise in certain kinds of roles.
Tangential, but I want to share the thought experiment that made time dilation click for me.

We know everything (every effect, etc) has a speed-of-light limit.

Imagine a metronome ticking out time. It ticks back and forth.

Put the metronome on a space ship. Now slowly increase the velocity of the space ship. As the space ship speed increases, the "pendulum" weight now has more and more velocity (the space ships velocity plus the back-and-forth velocity). The sum of those velocities cannot exceed the speed of light, so as the spaceship velocity increases, the metronome will tick more slowly (||x+y||<c and x-->c, right?), until, asymptotically, the metronome cannot move along its pendulum swing b/c the spaceship is moving at c.

(The metronome is a proxy for every chemical and physical process going on with you / your spaceship - they electro-chem-quantum-etc tick out their normal evolution, which must cease at c)

It's a clockwork view of the universe that might not be strictly true, but it settles some cognitive dissonance so I'm clinging to it like a life raft.
I can see this being a huge benefit for the poorest and also quite helpful to bring pressure into mobile plans as they and ISPs compete directly with one another.

And to further apply semantics to this just to be snide, the value is only "missing" if it could possibly ever be defined for that tuple. There are cases where you expect the value to be "missing", and it not being "missing" would be considered a data integrity issue. Fun.
Checkout is fine; it makes sense when you realize that the entire point of checkout is that it updates your current working tree to whatever you instruct it to. What "whatever" is: it's anything that git can understand as a reference; branch names (including those on remotes), commit IDs, HEAD and offsets (carets) on top of any of them.

ie. If you do "checkout master" it will checkout your working tree to the master branch. If you do "checkout HEAD", you get whatever's the current HEAD of your repository (in practice, this discards your changes).

Checkout can also do a partial checkout on a specific part of your working tree; "checkout [filename]" makes it so that you update that specific file to how it is on whatever you point it at.

The only weirdness is "checkout -b [branch]" making a new branch and switching you to it. It's a bit syntactically off/breaks the previous thing, but makes a lot of sense when you realize that your average workflow will combine git branch and git checkout anyway (since you're pretty much always making a branch to them work on it.)

Git switch and restore both feel like syntactic sugar that doesn't really help enough to warrant the mental switch of going from checkout to switch/restore. (Not to mention that checkout and restore do different things; restore also merged some functionality from git reset, a command whose main purpose is to update the index.)

The point is moot since pharmaceutical companies are already highly profitable beyond their R&D expenses, as the OP acknowledges. So drug prices could be significantly lowered in the US while maintaining current research levels.

The main argument (U.S. prices subsidize global innovation) is weakened further by two facts: 1/ many major pharmaceutical companies (like Novartis, Roche, or Sanofi) aren't even American; 2/ the current system mainly incentivizes the development of marginally improved drugs for already-treated conditions, rather than true medical breakthroughs.

When other developed nations successfully regulate drug prices while maintaining access to innovation... it's quite a reversal of responsibility that's played here. The real, glaring question is more why the U.S. continues to resist implementing similar price controls that have proven effective elsewhere.

interesting thought experiment... am i correct in understanding that for this to apply, the pendulums plane of movement must not be perpendicular to that of the ship itself? additionally, when the pendulum swing's direction is in the opposite direction of the ship, it would still move even in the case where the ship is moving at c, correct?

I like the principle of making information easier to share and more accessible for those who need it. However, from the perspective of someone who uses WhatsApp a lot, I think a decent chunk of this info could be shared in a WhatsApp group that includes relevant stakeholders - assuming there is a way to include the medical professional’s input. I would imagine in Europe that is how people might already be solving this problem. I think additionally it is generally an uphill battle to get people to adopt and incorporate another messaging/comms platform into their day-to-day life. It doesn’t mean it’s not important or right what you’ve built, just that in my experience people resist (and ultimately don’t use) additional platforms for messaging/sharing info outside the ones they might already have.
I went ahead and bought the book from interest in helm (quite the beginner in k8 and all). Unfortunately it's not very far from an AI generated text about helm. It's 28 pages of text (not far from a long blog post), it does not have any illustration. The author does not seem to have given any thought on how to explain the topic. A discussion with claude about the topic is of higher value.

You can also tag things in Obsidian, which is useful for search.
