not guaranteed but i think it's the most likely outcome considering current polls, and i don't expect Trump/GOP to win back many voters over the next two years

maybe i'm just a pessimist but i don't see anything really coming from this. democrats win in 2028, ICE gets scaled down and returns to Biden-era size, maybe 5-10 agents go to prison. so what if the public has their addresses and phone numbers? what changes?

nowhere near accurate enough, i would estimate we would need 2-3 more orders of magnitude of data to make something remotely useful - i'm not a biologist though

yes. you have to recruit a diverse and representative population, which is very difficult and time-consuming. then, you have to spend several years conducting the trial. most of the time, the drug either has no effect or is actively harmful. 90% of drugs that go to clinical trials fail!

as opposed to the current people building houses who are doing it because they just love building houses so much

providing top-level medical care requires a very rare combination of incredible technical skill, organization, humility, and life-long dedication to the craft. i would wager that it's largely a numbers game. how many humans on earth have that combination of skills and traits?

perlmutter is also one of the best cancer centers in the country, things are often quite different at smaller hospitals

this is not the place to advertise your professional leeching business

i would argue they're on a different level of magnitude, especially considering you could just purchase a standing desk

>For one, I want to believe we have collectively gotten better in avoiding "dumb" deaths and injuries, these, that could have been prevented by inventing and following safety procedures.

better, yes, but there will always be inherent risk. even if you don't die, there will often be injuries from years of strain

the likeliness of achieving AGI is an unknown, but it's certainly not 0

interesting, i haven't heard anything about that. i don't know much about the hodge conjecture, all i really know is that it's incredibly abstract and obtuse - not sure if that has any implication for solvability by an AI though. do you have any source for the hodge rumor? curious to learn more

madness. which will be the next to fall? if i had to bet i would guess birch and swinnerton-dyer, but i'm no expert
