Actions reflect your priorities
- darod 1y agotwo tom brady posts on the front in one day?
- paulpauper 1y agoI noticed that . Typically after the first post hits the front page and goes viral, someone else will submit a second post, which also hits the front page. It's rare, but I have seen it happen a few times over the years.
- mosferatu 1y agoWho is he?
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y agoA very successful American Football quarterback. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Brady https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Brady
- MrGilbert 1y agoA well-known former NFL player.
- Frotag 1y agoIt's often something that was mentioned in the first post's comment section. I guess someone found it cool enough to want to share.
- 1970-01-01 1y agoI also did not expect Tom Brady to be a high quality blogger. These are not rambling complaints about life. There is fantastic wisdom in his posts.
- rsyring 1y agoActions reflect someone's priorities. I don't want my son, who has narcolepsy, to be tired all the time. But the medicine that helps him, Xyrem (GHB), is $20K a month. Pay it, don't pay it, neither option truly reflects my priorities. It only reflects the hand I've been dealt by other people's priorities.
- sudofail 1y agoReally sorry there isn’t more support for you and your son. American drug prices are insane. In Australia it’s about 600/month
- edwardbernays 1y agoTWENTY thousand a month? Surely this is wrong. Even $2k is ridiculous, but that's just criminal. Honestly, at a certain point, you might consider learning organic chemistry just to synthesize it yourself. It's fairly easy using unwatched precursors.
- dboreham 1y agoI don't know the parent story at all, but generally drug companies are allowed to charge $$$$ for certain drugs that are affective for rare conditions, on the basis that it won't be patients who pay for them. Rather payment will ultimately come from government, possibly via an insurer. The idea being that the drugs get made and brought to market when otherwise they would not, because nobody can afford a $20K drug.
- rsyring 1y agohttps://www.goodrx.com/xyrem https://www.goodrx.com/xyrem > Retail price of $21,239.97 The site is misleading in that they indicate you can just buy it from any pharmacy. But that's not how it works. More details at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_oxybate#Cost https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_oxybate#Cost
- paulpauper 1y agoThis is how it is in the US for uncommon disorders, but the amount paid out of pocket is often vastly less. People are typically not writing huge checks for these drugs. It's still daunting though. The pharma company charges a lot to recoup the cost of developing and marketing the drug, which is typically paid by Medicaid. The economics wouldn't make it worthwhile develop the drug if it were too cheap.
- paulpauper 1y agoI think he put it through GPT? In this week’s newsletter, I want to give you some personal insight from my own experiences that I think will help explain where true personal satisfaction comes from—it comes from many places, not just one—and how you create it every day, win or lose, by the way you show up in each part of your life. Note the em dashes.
- willquack 1y agoMy friend loves to use em dashes, not hyphens "-" but em dashes "—". He can no longer use them since people would suspect his writing was AI generated otherwise...
- esseph 1y agoThe AI learned by reading writing. It's ultimately only as good as the data put in. I also write using dashes like this. It seems to mimic speech more naturally to me - it seems intuitive. I'm also somewhat on the spectrum and I find myself (and apparently many others) more often than not trying to mimic social and language cues.
- user-unknown 1y agoreally? you don't say! thanks tombrady.com for this deep insight into the non-obvious.
- jeisc 1y agoHumpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty together again. Now with openAI costing you but a feather you can put Humpty back together!
