It does not pay into EU budget - it contributes to and participates in specific programs and projects. The treaties are rather sectoral agreements which are always under the threat of swiss direct democracy. Bilaterals III has not yet been approved neither by the referendum nor the parliament - while it will likely pass the opposition is every significant.

That's an understatement...

I have heard at least for some cancers the risk actually lowers when you become old enough (because your cells become less active in general).

I was thinking that I actually use grocery shopping as a recovery activity. I could cut it out but don't feel the need that much. It's not that I feel I'd do something incredible instead (which requires energy and/or recovery time of its own)...

Bought a travel click by Braun a few years bact to put next to me when I work. The quality is abysmal, the hour arm is half to a full hour ahead after I used for a while. And it costs like 30 bucks I guess one just pays for the brand name while the product is the same quality as no-name ones on aliexpress for a tenth of the price.

He always striked as genuinely nice person generously sharing knowledge insights etc and not caring particularly about money and status. The difference with the loudest tech bros who now dominate the field is staggering.

So all you did is just illustrated above.

Yeah it's more like personalized therapy - often the only hope for rare diseases.

While AI has definitely helped quite a bit I am wondering how much all this research and treatments cost. Not sure the current health systems could sustain this for _everyone affected_. If ai enables it all the better.

I'd definitely say both and the cultural component is becoming more and more important to keep up as AI capabilities increase.

Lol. As long as the process aka trials is respected not many would complain.

The feedback loop required to make progress is very different in medicine compared to math.

Happy he had a great career regardless!

Looks like he developed the original on his employer's equipment during work hours.

And the copyright on tetris pieces is just ridiculous given the Colomb's publication and probably others.

I personally appreciated the write-up as it presents an alternative to the glossed up candy narrative that I have read and seen more than once.

Didn't know about Gerasimov either (who single-handedly coded up the DOS version it seems).

> In reality most individuals are good people.

I'd agree if we are talking about personal interactions. Few hundreds people that we personally know and interact with is the scale we are wired for by evolution, isn't it?

What civilization enabled and continuously rely on, however, is the type of deindividualization of actions and bucketing of people, which, in turn, enables pretty horrible things at scale (from the weapons of mass destruction to objectively psychopathic profit-maximizing corporations). One can even say that not facing the consequences of one's actions is a feature and not a bug of the system.

Yeah the bureaucracy like eu is almost a perfect setup to deflect responsibility. "Apparently the measures taken by our predecessors were not ideal in hindsight but the need to protect our children remains of utmost importance. With the lessons learned we will now take steps to ensure the bright future for us all!" lol

I think 1/2 and 1/3 are quite nice as far as numbers go! Also 2/36 = 0.5555... is not that far from 5%
