Look at success in buckets. 10x , 100x, 1000x etc

> I don't think I've ever seen the 20mcg rec The 20mcg rec (the wrong rec) is quite literally on every single nutrition label in America that has Vitamin D. Maybe you haven’t noticed it. Surely you’ve seen it if you’re in the U

Your story and the article’s thesis that AI is for acceleration and automation (not other things like design/intelligence) remind me of one particular CEO’s five step product process: 1) design smart(er) requirements- I.e beat up the a

Reminder that the FDA recommended daily allowance of vitamin D is 10x lower than it was supposed to be, because of a math error, and they have never corrected it. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28768407/

What’s the going rate for an account on HN? Can’t imagine very much, no offense. There is no user-based algorithm or follower count here.

Anything dealing with the signaling systems of the body (GLP-1 agonists, DP-XX binders like Keytruda, IL-XX binders like Humira, etc and even HRT) all fall under this bucket. We have a great understanding of some effects of some signaling s

If someone has the means to comfortably raise a child without being in poverty do they still need free childcare then?
350.
by hammock 11mo ago
Agreed. If we could fund universal child care so that the ratio of caregiver to child was more like 1 to 2 or 1 to 5 or even 1 to 8 in extreme cases, then the lack of attentiveness would not be a problem. Wait a minute… that sounds like…

If we can’t have a good faith discussion then maybe it is a good idea to hide nuclear and animal labs. But with less oversight, that also invites abuse. You can probably imagine abuse on your own in an anima lab, but I would also point out

I really wish we could move beyond fMRI for brain studies. We have no good models for any insights beyond “this region of the brain lights up.” It’s medieval. Neurophrenology. Change my mind.
