I'm not disagreeing with what you say here, but I think we're arguing about subtly different things. E.g. you'll note my zebra example was not about whether one should additionally request a photo of the animal just to make s

While this is true as a platitude, I do find that medical colleagues seem to treat this platitude rather overzealously at times, often completely disregarding the posterior probabilities involved. I like to call this the prior-over-posterio

Indeed, I didn't mean to imply that all doctors possess that skill in great amounts (or that, in any case, circumstances allow for full utilisation of the skill even if they do) or that medical history taking is therefore always of the

Both the article and some of the discussions here share a lot of commonalities with doctors taking a medical history. There is a certain skill in guiding the conversation towards useful outputs, while not dictating the exact outputs to a pa

I see. That's good to know, though you could have led with that! I was mostly calling you out because it seemed you were misrepresenting the article's argument, whereas you now seem to have no problem with their reasoning of bulk

I often ask it to aim for a Flesch-Kincaid Readibility Ease Score of around 50, with good results. ELI5 is good too where appropriate. I'll add ASD-STE100 to my list of decorposlopification strategies.

Shouldn't it be the reverse? The vote of people who earn less (and are therefore more disadvantaged in society and rely on fair laws the most) should count more. Tax and "money paid to the system" is a red herring only an ent

I think what the author is trying to say is that the turboencabulator's vertex manifold buckler dimensional engine leverages bifrontal synergies spanning several plasmic thresholds. This enables an Agentic Solution Plexus to surplant i

ahem, TempleOS generally tends to be considered a marvel of one-man engineering, not a cooky project. Despite Terry Davies' illness.

I'm not necessarily arguing it was a form of suicide (or blaming the victim, as it were). I'm arguing that the impetus to prolong life is generally a very strong and biologically ingrained urge rather than the result of cold ratio

It was widely known that doctors are at a considerably increased risk when I was studying medicine, enough to warn us and have professional wellbeing modules in the curriculum. Plus, it's a special population in having significantly di

Just ask it to aim for a Flesh-Kincaid ease-of-readability score of around 70. Or use ELI5 style. Or both.

This article is making a LOT of "convenient" assumptions. For all we know, the more likely scenario is that Charlie, like a sizeable percentage of his doctor peers, was burnt out, tired, and depressed, did not really have an overw

Most people commenting here seem to be focusing on memorization, which seems to miss the main point of the article. The big insight here is the chunking part, not the memorization bit. I use anki in a similar way to the author and it has be

That's just it though isn't it. Good tools that are invisible to you won't easily come to mind because they tend to be, well, invisible. It's not until you randomly end up on a system which doesn't have that tool th

Reminds me of this quote: "We notice the person who is for ever bowing and fussily servile, and perhaps say, How humble he is! But the truly humble person escapes notice: the world does not know him." ~ Tito Colliander

Do I need to be "specific"? You made the general claim. I'm pointing out that the general claim when applied to a different minority population suddenly does not sound as reasonable, and could easily cause distress and disc
