This section seems to speak to your observation (edited for brevity): Doctors told me they could think of only one other comparable breakthrough in recent memory: the arrival of powerful HIV drugs in the 1990s. Like Trikafta, those drugs w

Oh wow. I remember a kid in elementary school with CF. I didn't understand at the time what he and his family was going through. I remember his personality and intelligence, his skill on the soccer team. He was unusually driven for an

Not super well supported, but there's a Samsung Dex app for Windows and MacOS (I think unsupported now) that let's you plug your phone into your computer, and get Dex in a window. Runs the phone apps on the phone, gets your androi

I agree. One thing that many people don't really comprehend was how little combat occurred with swords vs how much occurred with spears and ranged weapons. The typical view of a samurai or a knight in heavy armor swinging a sword aro

Isn't the rifle really just a modern spear? Armies with longer spears used to be the one of the deciding factors in ancient battles. Aren't rifles just a more effective way at getting the sharpy bit in to the other guy without hav

I hope that the renewed interest in urban gardens and the appreciation for plant life in urban landscapes persists. The benefits can be wild in terms of improved quality of life for those living in the city. I live very near an urban core t

That's the far right of the hype curve.

The current thinking is that it becomes a negative feedback loop, a kind of lossy "compression" of our cultural output. Combined with normal bitrot we'll eventually start losing components of our shared culture until civiliza

The confusion that everybody feels right now about "what do I do in this rapidly evolving space" is likely more an artifact of one of the most vertical lead-edges to a hype curve in a generation. There is so much piling on, at abs

I'm sorry you don't think Germanic peoples have anything to contribute to Western Civilization.

This is awesome . I can't believe how much pedagogical material is put forward here. Incredible stuff. All that being said, I think the larger concept is that one of the foundations of Western civ has found a way to be presented to St

I'm starting to get the feeling that there might be shenanigans going on around Sam Altman. Next thing you know, we're going to find out that his name isn't even Sam Altman, OpenAI isn't open, and all the workers have

The overall audio quality sounds pretty good and it seems to do a good job of sustaining a consistent rhythm and musical concept. But I agree there's something "off" about some of the clips. - The rave music sounds great. But

It all happened at this incredible cultural flashpoint where you knew there was something major happening, and were sort of riding the wave of it to see where it went. I don't know that anybody has ever put a name to it like "Pu

In my experience, Five Guys provides $7 burgers at $20 prices. They're fine, but very overpriced for what they are.

There is definitely something going on with fast food these days. I love Taco Bell mostly for cheap college nostalgia reasons, but the mom-and-pop taco joints, run by retired chefs with the requisite ingredient quality and taste, cost about

More objective looks at reliability put Teslas as a class very far down in any ordered ranking. Not as bad as Jeeps or Chevys, but below Ford, Dodge, and Lincoln. What's interesting is the despite this Teslas often rank near the top fo

There's a number of schemes to do this, art trading is just one vehicle to accomplish this but they all support the same basic two principles: 1 - get out of paying taxes by "showing a loss" somewhere 2 - don't ever lose
