The algo has cursed me with a high density of urbanist takes and I need to flee to a safe area.

It's possible to be against state censorship of the internet and also recognize the harms that social media have done to children, notably young girls.
Jun 15
In past years I tried once or twice to point out that people like Jonathan Haidt were peddling a thesis about social media being harmful to kids that was a) empirically pretty poorly established, and b) highly likely to be used by our enemies in ways like this.

This is five thousand years old and tbh, we haven't improved much since.

It'll always be instructive that Kodak invented the digital camera and buried it to protect their film business. Can't say I blame them though. Film does look better.

Bu gördüğünüz kamera 1975 yılında icat edilen ilk dijital kamera. Fotoğraftaki kişi, kamerayı icat eden elektrik mühendisi Steven Sasson. 76 yaşında şu anda.
Bu kameranın ağırlığı 4 kilogram, çekebildiği fotoğraflar 100 x 100 piksel ve siyah beyaz. Çektiği fotoğrafları kasete yazıyor ve bir fotoğrafı kasete yazması 23 saniye sürüyormuş. Nereden nereye...

Some people would usher in a police state dystopia to avoid putting criminals in prison.

drives me crazy that people would rather let people steal cars en masse (and use those stolen cars to commit more crimes) than suffer the privacy indignity of...having your license plate identified on a public road in busy traffic that where everyone can already see it

It's beyond ironic that people are complaining about a tree chopped down for a data center when we've been leveling whole forests and other ecosystems for wind farms and solar plants.

A data centre will be built here

The think tankers that oppose occupational licensing have never seen the absolute trash that gets filtered out by those licensing requirements.
Jun 10
About 10 years ago there was a broad, bipartisan consensus, from President Obama to Paul Ryan, that occupational licensing was a huge millstone around workers' necks.
Then the issue just...disappeared. Yet states keep adding licenses. Starting next year in Colorado:

I wonder if we'll ever find out which lady painted all of Hunter Biden's paintings.

Claude Design is just as annoying as an actual designer.
Very realistic.

AFAIK, Anduril was the first company to actually build/ship the science fiction staple of "drone that runs into another drone to destroy it".
It has been a lot of fun watching this weapon category go from obvious idea to widely-deployed tool.

This one cracks me up since it's so academic. In reality, you have to demand doctors including dermatologists provide a diagnosis for that "simple rash" since they rarely care and the answer is often "I don't know, let's try some clobetasol". Doctor's aren't House and they don't even try to be.
I've also gotten much more thorough assessments from cardio PA's and imaging RN's than from my team of cardiologists whom, it seems, are allergic to stethoscopes and patients. Hell, even my Anesthesia RN was far better than my anesthesiologist MD who tore up my throat.
If doctors are so smart and educated and invested they should start acting like it because right now, outside of specialty surgery, pa's and rn's are doing a better job faster and cheaper.

Good luck when your NP or PA sees you for your “simple” rash and misses a Kawasaki’s diagnosis, or sees you for a “simple” bronchitis as misses a pulmonary embolism or atrial fibrillation. Everything looks like a horse to someone never trained to see the zebras.

RNs and PAs are far more likely to consider complex/atypical presentation than doctors, in large part, because they spend far more time with patients than doctors do.
Doctors have zero interest in the complicated. They have seven minutes to look at labs, calculate the most likely probability, and then jump to the next patient.
My favorite is when a Dr says "let's see you again in 3 months" not knowing that they are booked out 7 months. They just never seem to notice that all their patients are never back in 3 months.

They can do tasks that Doctors do. They do not have the training and education that doctors do to enable them to know what to do with all that info, especially when faced with a complex/atypical presentation.

I've seen a lot of Dr's, Rn's, and PA's over the last 5 years and, outside of surgeons, I get far better care from RNs and PAs.

I’m sorry, but what does “doctor-like work” mean?
