We're doing some working class stuff tomorrow. Off to the city by train (£50.40) for the match in the afternoon (£60), then we're having fish and chips (£25), going to the pictures (£28) and then having a few pints (£30) before home. Just a typical £193.40 working class day out.

@bronzeagemantis If Nolan doesn’t do it his way. What way does he do it?

[Sul @SMatuul]

@woke8yearold Quite likely. Kazakhstan doesn’t seem a particularly more rational place than Malaysia. A bunch of the Kazakhs I met irl were crazy.

[Sul @SMatuul]

@kunley_drukpa I’m excited to see what the Kazakhs do to him!

@nntaleb @bryan_johnson Thankyou for replying

@akarlin Well said. Tbh I don’t think I’ve ever seen a public figure gain from interacting with the governments of low ehc countries! Whatever trade offs they surmise always end in them getting betrayed and bludgeoned!

[Sul @SMatuul]

@woke8yearold Yes and another massive reason immigration needs to stop/ be changed in the west.

@cremieuxrecueil what happened to hereticon usa?

@akarlin How do you make money?

[roon @tszzl]

every good outcome I’ve seen has been from finding a secret and doubling, tripling down on it in a way that compounds over time. not necessary that it even remains a secret because nobody ever believes you anyways; if it was something easy to accept it wouldn’t be available

@woke8yearold honestly seems like Britain may entirely disappear soon but seed an everlasting global monoculture. I dont think comparisons to the ancient greeks or romans even do it justice.

[Sul @SMatuul]

@woke8yearold ironically taiwan might be the only country that is saved by immigration. loads of Indians et al might stop the ccp invading. but probably better to a wealthy province in china than be ethnically replaced and free on paper.

@echetus i would like to meet the defence lawyer irl and see how morally heinous they are. Anecdotally the only young hr lawyer ik constantly commits petty theft.

An intriguing intellectual exercise to pull together a list of the "100 greatest men" and summarise each of them in but a few pages. Any surprising omissions or inclusions?

I'm lucky enough to have a great doctor and access to excellent Bay Area medical care. I've taken lots of standard screening tests over the years and have tried lots of "health tech" devices and tools.

With all this said, by far the most useful preventative medical advice that I've ever received has come from unleashing coding agents on my genome, having them investigate my specific mutations, and having them recommend specific follow-on tests and treatments.

Population averages are population averages, but we ourselves are not averages. For example, it turns out that I probably have a 30x(!) higher-than-average predisposition to melanoma. Fortunately, there are both specific supplements that help counteract the particular mutations I have, and of course I can significantly dial up my screening frequency. So, this is very useful to know.

I don't know exactly how much the analysis cost, but probably less than $100. Sequencing my genome cost a few hundred dollars.

(One often sees papers and articles claiming that models aren't very good at medical reasoning. These analyses are usually based on employing several-year-old models, which is a kind of ludicrous malpractice. It is true that you still have to carefully monitor the agents' reasoning, and they do on occasion jump to conclusions or skip steps, requiring some nudging and re-steering. But, overall, they are almost literally infinitely better for this kind of work than what one can otherwise obtain today.)

There are still lots of questions about how this will diffuse and get adopted, but it seems very clear that medical practice is about to improve enormously. Exciting times!

@echetus no idea if the anti semitic angle was intended or they're just a bad artist
