Feel like it's hard to accept egoless style, as in academia there is little but the glory to be had in the pursuits. In the publish/perish era, money is already stretched thin in the average research budget.

I want to believe, but research has been tightrope walking with no safety net for awhile.

So, either researchers get SF salaries? or? (first one is not gonna happen)

I'm still surprised we don't have many physical interventions for this, knowing that it's a physical problem. I'm reminded of the older surgeon style medicine whose reputation seems to be pretty coarse now since we have so much knowledge about chemistry and non-invasive interventions.

Wonder what would happen if we pushed the envelope on physical fixes like endarterectomy like procedures and made them safer/more routine. Like getting your teeth flossed.

Maybe, I always say "let's write a plan and refine it" which ends up being a nice rubber duck session to keep claude and friends from going off the rails implementing things like privacy or encryption or some other rabbit hole when I just need it to do a few features at a time so I can review while it starts the next few things. Maybe this is slower to deliver, but I don't spend a lot of time unwinding commits.

I don't necessarily use plan mode explicitly for this, but I might turn it on if I think something destructive is coming up, like a schema change or some other devops thing where claude may decide "oh we copied it all over so I can delete it from source" "oh I'm sorry I didn't catch that error code and assumed success, your data is now gone" lol. This happens a lot less but I've been bit right on the face by it before.

Are plans the wrong abstraction? You can use a big enough plan to spam tickets into linear and have claude burn them down. I find it increases subagent accuracy.

Isometric holds. Tendons grow slow and recover slow, generally not as much circulation as muscle.

Big heavy holds will help encourage blood flow without stretching them / stressing them as hard as big lifts.

It seems weird because it goes again ROM ideas, but it has definitely helped protect my arms for rock climbing as well as less fatigue in my legs for big lifts.

Tools vs services in my mind. There is no guarantee any provider will continue to do what they are doing for you at the price they are doing it.

The object permanence of not having to reinvent the world every time a model gets sunsetted has value.

Really wish they’d host more models for us normies. My guess is OAI will buy / subsidize them with terms that will close off open models.

Turns out we ended up with paid search, but paid for by who? :D

Seems bad.

I think the catch is there's no money to be made in mirror molecules / life... YET! If that changes, say mirror molecules some how extend life or have a therapeutic use then we're like to see the tune change.

Drives are cheap, data is expensive.

I work in several labs where I have to give this advice, which some labs are smart enough to make an ersatz backup that we store somewhere (PI's house) as a cheap offsite. Even a partial recovery is great in the face of fire/flood/explosion, or the most common error: IT fucks it up and then says "oh well".

Hope someone has some copies and they can rebuild, what a nightmare.

hahah this is all well and good until the 20k+ line a day person is considered the good engineer, based on kpis alone. Your VPs aren't reading any of that.

Bonne chance fired senior!

I have depicted you as the 100 line a day weakling, and myself as the 20k+ line chad.

The systems at bigcos are too ruthless to risk gambling your career on this kind of reasoning which you have no recourse to. Best to start small teams and destroy them from the outside.

I feel like we've probably spent more for less! Any interaction with the medical industry for less than 1k feels like a steal to me.

Not really sure what you're getting at there, I was a hired gun for about a year, founded a company and am having a great time.

Last time I was at a corporate gig, I got a 2+ year old base model MacBook Pro to do a data science. 16gb of ram is fun and all, but when you're using R you're going to have a bad time.

During my hired gun period I worked with two organizations that used gitlab, and they're doing just fine. One place I had no problem using their cloud for bigger runs, the other had a permission system that was pissing me off so I solved my own problem and billed them enough it didn't matter anyhow. Like I said, having extra cpus for big R runs you don't have to ask anyone for has a value all its own.

Happy computing!

I would have guessed nutrition, we live an in age of vitamins and fortified foods. You can get a lot of zinc and other metals from clams and oysters.
