For (1) you can prepay i think up to 10 years? And every year you just prepay 1 year again and you will have 10 years to remember that you forgot to pay a domain registration bill.

Well a good surveyor would take into account order effects, i.e. the order in which questions were asked for example using Latin square designs.

The thing is that with such a sample, we don't really know

1. If the effect is real. i.e. had the patient not been given the injection, would his/her condition improve spontaneously.

2. Assuming the effect is real, what are the circumstances that make the treatment work for this person.

Not to be overly dismissive of the good work but it is too early to be optimistic about this given the above and the fact that the results were not replicated out of Sana suggest that there is a lot that we need to work out before this becomes a viable treatment for the masses.

The harms of hyping this up is that readers will get their hopes up and then be disappointed when things don't pan out as do most scientific endeavours. Overtime, readers will learn to distrust anything that is being reported because 90% of which do not translate to real world impact. It is hard to get the nuance that "science takes many many failures and iterations" to the public and the more likely outcome of such reporting is general distrust of science when things don't go the way that is hoped for.

N=1 study should not have made it into headlines.

> Although the research marks a milestone in the search for treatments of type 1 diabetes, it’s important to note that the study involved one one participant, who received a low dose of cells for a short period—not enough for the patient to no longer need to control their blood sugar with injected insulin. An editorial by the journal Nature also says that some independent research groups have failed in their efforts to confirm that Sana’s method provides edited cells with the ability to evade the immune system.

And also have parity built in for file recovery. The alternative will be to use par2 to create parity files.

Just have sane firewall rules and you are good. E.g. if I install openssh-server and it auto starts, it doesn't make it out of my machine because my nftables does not allow inbound on port 22. It's just knowing the default behaviour and adjusting your practices for it.

causal inference with GenAI

It swings both ways. In some circles, logistic regression is AI, in others, only AGI is AI.

There are many reasons this comparison is not made. I will just touch on one. The target medium is different. For html, you have monitors of different sizes as well as windows that can be resized. For latex, you choose your target at the start: A4 paper? Screen presentation? A0 poster?

With a fixed medium in mind, you can be extremely particular on where on this canvas you want a piece of text/graphic or whatever.

Without a fixed medium, you have to have logic to address the different mediums and compromises have to be made.
