Ok, so after you burn down this system what’s the replacement? Nothing?

Liberal in US = center right
The world seems to be literally splitting apart, and Meta was a huge part of sowing discontent and stoking violence. I hope to move to Europe one day and I can use an open source LLM at that point
But this is not seawater right
Choosing a two seater is very odd for this. Then again I’m in my 40s so maybe I’m too old
It’s so funny you say this - I have a colleague who’s mom in India has an A1c of 8.5 - she’s probably late 60s- and apparently a doctor she went to just dismissed it as no big deal for her age
Oh my god it was Alan Webb at the armory in NYC that I saw! That same track found me on the floor when i fell during a relay race haha. Thank you for that mental trip
I saw the first time a the four minute mile was broken in high school in the US. 3:59.86 it was in 2002. Tbh I never questioned it
“ The one saving grace is that FAA red tape is clearly no longer an additional obstacle. ”

This is wrong - remember starship tests in 2022 were not FAA limited. This is just hard problem

So I’m challenging you. Why is it jobs, not volunteering at church or hospitals, where I often see senior citizens in droves
This must limit electricity generation to local hydrogen sources which may be challenging compared to natural gas. Prob similar to nuclear?
Promising but how do pipelines deal with hydrogen?

I have heard that LNG has a larger carbon footprint than coal vs natural gas which is much better

Curious to hear someone in favor of this. It’s sounding really bad.

I was about to argue against you, but here is some nuance from a bbc article about minitel:

It was the whole model that was doomed. Basically to set up a service on Minitel, you had to ask permission from France Telecom. You had to go to the old guys who ran the system, and who knew absolutely nothing about innovation. "It meant that nothing new could ever happen. Basically, Minitel innovated from 1978 to 1982, and then it stopped," he says. But others are less critical. Valerie Schafer, Thierry's co-author, says "the way Minitel is now fobbed off as risible and old-fashioned" is unfair. "People forget that many of the ideas that helped form the internet were first of all tried out on Minitel. Think of the payment system, not so different from the Apple app-store. "Think of the forums, the user-generated content. Many of today's web entrepreneurs and thinkers cut their teeth on Minitel," she says. "The world did not begin with the internet."

Per fair use law in us - can you just pirate the book after you buy it on kindle?

I agree. In my 40s and at work most people my age do have fb instagram and TikTok but everyone’s super understanding when I say I like my privacy

Tale as old as time sadly, although it takes a lot of skill to sift through all patient history to get the nuggets.

Not a bad role for AI. Then again, you miss the chance to show empathy (this is me saying this as a radiologist who sees like 1 patient a day though so huge grain of salt)

Why not just teach people to read the x-ray
“Physician burnout” from documentation was the excuse for AI adoption - Stop Citrix or VMware or whatever. make a responsive emr where you don’t have to click buttons like a monkey

Whoa! I didn't know you could do such studies on humans this day and age. Were you compensated handsomely?
That sounds up my alley! What kind of material is the cup if that's the one you're using? I couldn't clearly tell from the website.

No I heard parts of it. It actually making him affable. Harris was on call her daddy tho which she also was affable. I think Ezra Klein had an article on this - trumps authenticity is rare when most politicians have like a filter. Obama had like zero lag. Harris, Vance have some lag. I’m not saying the filter is necessarily needed or good, but I think it’s noticeable
