How can it be called a 'capture' when it's already known when and how it will leave. That's like calling a resort vacation stay a kidnapping.

> How long before Copilot is able to write all the code any Go developer now writes by hand?

A long time ago I read someone saying "Lisp is the only language where I spend more time thinking than typing". Recently, when I was telling ChatGPT what logic I wanted written on what data structures, I realized the same was true about having an LLM write any other language.

Take what's in the article, reduce it by 5%, and that's probably what it would be. Sports bet rakes aren't huge (unlike horse racing).

Given that fasting is enshrined as a order in many belief systems, it seems like humans needs external motivation to ignore their body's complaints and fast for positive effects.

In 2005 the drummer for Semisonic wrote the book So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star. In it the band received a record plaque and asked the record company rep if it was their music. The response was no, it was probably some left over Sinatra LP that had been painted.

Do you plan to offer subscription-based access to other users' indices?

I don't think giving nurses unrestricted access to narcotics is giving them 'freedom to do their job' because a valid part of a nurse's job is controlling access to narcotics. It's not a medical need, but it's an operational and societal need. Same with whatever a CT tech would do away from the controls. I think this is more accurately a descoping of the job to improve throughput.

Wiktionary says crump means "(intransitive, US, medical slang) (of one's health) to decline rapidly (but not as rapidly as crash)."

Typically an ETF takes a management fee of 0.1-0.5% of assets per year. I expect this build-your-own-ETF to do the same, with fees on the higher side.

Well, one of the things that's changing is the creation of pro-natalism movements....

But there is reason to expect the trajectory to change. Currently the expectation is that, even if most people died out, there are very fecund (and very religious) groups that would repopulate the world. So the pro-natalism movement isn't needed to save humanity, just to save the 'normal' people.
