Link. “I retired in August of 2022 so I think I’ll focus on mountain bike trail maintenance and, like Superintelligence’s Carol Peters, on the needs of friends and family.”

Link. “President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.” Started under GWB. Cheap at 7.5 billion. Sometimes we do good things.

Link. I regret not buying that cabin in the remote wilderness.

Link. We need liability and lawyers.

Link. “malware checks for available firmware upgrades every 10 seconds. When an update becomes available, the malware copies the archived file for backup…”

Link. Why a first-tine journey seems much longer than subsequent trips.

Link. History meets genomics.

Link. I had to dredge up old knowledge to fix this one. There are odd things happening but I think the email bounces have been fixed for now.

Link. I’m a hardcore woke-lib. BUT this stuff drives me crazy. There’s an endless list of well intentioned things my team does that are obviously stupid from the beginning. I would love to have a sane GOP opposition.

Link. It’s disturbing and sad when a friend forgets things I did with them. It’s also normal. I forget too. We evolved in a cruel reality.

Link. VCs went utterly bonkers because they never imagined they’d actually need something government does (very well).

Link. The writing is poor; it’s not a ban on serving aboriginal people, it’s community based. I believe some US First People communities have had similar limits, but i think they were set by tribal authorities.

Link. Child lacked functioning thymus, Hope is will work for all and for other than heart.

Link. Much of “Havana Syndrome”, and *some* Long COVID likely similar cause.

Link. GA needs to vote on it.

Link. It might be testable.

Link. 30y ago I wondered why there wasn’t more demand for long-lived dogs. Now I think I know why.

Link. 12y work, but next one will be much faster. As befits an evolved system the connections don’t follow human logic. They do resemble artificial neural networks.

Link. A better answer than 99% of the online comments on ChatGPT.

But don’t worry. It will be fine.

Link. Unfortunate.

Link. OA is NOT an overuse disorder.

Link. If economies are truly less flexible than we thought they were then trade disruptions will have a bigger than expected effect.

Link. For the right accusation is confession.

Link. Paul Ryan is not utterly insane?!?

Link. Improvement will be expensive. GOP will only make it harder.

Link. An extraordinary win.

Link. There was hope for Israel once.

Link. Research for a group that does risk assessment on non-nuclear WMDs.

Link. In the 70s there was optimism about Nigeria.

Link. The starting point matters a lot.

Link. DeSantis and the Christian Nationalists want to bury this history.

Link. About 1/3 of the way 28y later. Prediction is a mug’s game.

Link. This is why, despite all the literature and pop articles saying we should do it, physicians are very reluctant to treat menopausal symptoms with estrogen. Because we will get blamed.

Link. An excellent framing and corrective.

Link. This would not reassure most people. His further efforts are a leap of faith and, for worse and better, the greatest disruption since fire and language.

Link. Simpson reassures. My takeaway, however, was that it was Thiel and SV libertarian ideology.

Link. 1. Cochrane found there wasn’t good trial data. That’s true. Very hard to study.
2. Jefferson, one of the article contributors, is a bit of a crackpot. (That happens.)

Secondary evidence suggests N95 do protect wearer if worn consistently.

Link. Krugman surprised. This is important.

Link. No legalization but huge “medical” use and vast production.

Link. Yes, if we never couple LLMs to other knowledge models we’ll be ok. Except we did that last year. Who does he talk to?!

Link. Pathetic.

Link. “Once they pass this bill we must tell our viewers again and again what they will get”

Biden won’t give Fox anything.

Link. Apple private API games. In my life Apple Notes sync also fails periodically. iCloud would embarrass most companies but Apple is shameless.

They are going to try again.

Link. Cheaper … for the employer.

Link. They don’t have engine immobilizes. Other cars do. Meanwhile, lots of bored kids, maybe not in school or lost post-COVID.

“stolen Kias and Hyundais in Minneapolis were linked to five homicides, 13 shootings, 36 robberies and 265 vehicle accidents last year.”

TikTok driving fashion.

Link. China promoting fertility — within limits. (US market driven donor expectations are far more severe.)

Link. Canada really bugs Xi.

Link. Presumably China can. Some US weapons likely rely on Chinese manufacturing, but article doesn’t address that. I’m sure corruption and dysfunctional bureaucracy play a role.

Link. Peoples lost to time. “light-skinned, dark-eyed people to the east, and possibly dark-skinned and blue-eyed people to the west”
