This defense of Epic really makes it sound like a great opportunity. > I also think their employees might overestimate how much greener the grass is on the other side, because they haven't actually experienced any comparable job Man

Why is “acquisition” a bad word at Epic? Is it because the workers at a normal company would jump ship if Epic’s culture were imposed? If companies like Cerner, Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc. are all able to acquire and integrate software t

Just because it’s nice to visit doesn’t mean you should spend a year of your life there.

Programs are already proofs. A 15,000-line proof is going to have a mistake somewhere. In mathematics, the proofs tend to be resilient to minor errors and omissions, because the important part is that the ideas are correct. In applied crypt

Lines of code is also a poor indicator for “magnitude of effort.” Tangent: generally I’m more inclined to believe quality is improved when someone claims 1000s of lines reduced rather than 1000s of lines written.

I’m not familiar with the parameters of the machines readily available to your provider, but I can say that the risk/reward scenario for an intervention for someone coming out of cancer surgery is distinct. We give cancer patients chem

Drive more demand for MRIs and they’ll get faster too

Radiographer: “MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) creates detailed images of the inside of the body using strong magnetic fields and radio waves, rather than X-rays. MRI is/was the holy grail for medical imaging professionals. Arguably t

You’re absolutely right, they’re not interchangeable. MRIs are better suited for soft tissues. If you’re looking for a broken bone, take a single x-ray image instead of a whole CT scan, which is a far higher dose of X-ray radiation.

Medicine: first, do no harm. Why not use MRIs since they skip the problem entirely? Don’t say cost or supply. That’s just because CT scans, misguidedly, have more demand. More demand for MRIs would unlock savings from scale.

X-ray radiation causes cancer. CT scanners don’t use magic non-carcinogenic x-rays. Socrates is a man, men are mortal, Socrates is mortal. We have the technology. We should have moved on to MRIs for nearly all scans years ago.

Correct, though I thought Epic had a stronger foothold in the US than Canada. The CDC is a US government organization.

In the United States, you are in trouble if you don’t advocate for your own health.

You're not wrong about ethical considerations, but the CDC operates socially and politically as well. Back when the vaccine was new, an objection from some parents was that the vaccine might be viewed as a license or permission for the

The CDC is just a government organization. Don’t put too much stock in appeals to authority.

The cause or the effect? I would actually guess no for the effect, since music preferences are associated with community membership.

This is also, inadvertently, an argument against managers. Why talk to your team when you could just program it yourself?

Yes, my remark was intended to be more about Descartes than the West.

Academia has a combination of monopoly and scarcity that drove would-be researchers insane. Simple as that. I mean this both flippantly in many cases and literally in many others. Academia in my orbit appears to be a risk factor for psychol
