I would add what I think I am to Styles:

6. The Perfectionist

. Solves the problems every different way they can think of looking for the perfect abstraction

. Obsesses over finding the correct name for things. The right name will make the thing better

. Moves code around until it finds a home. Where the code lives is important

. Shares work only when beautiful

In my area there are lots of wine growers who are adding bubbles and canning their wine. It is way better, sweeter, still tastes like wine.

It is the art the stories and the videos that we have made forever that is being replaced as well. Why? Because the people in charge can save money, not for some altruistic idea f making humans more productive

Very little "AI discovered cure for cancer" articles these days, more "10,000 workers let go, to be replaced with chat bots"

If you think humans are a net positive to be around, you wouldn't be spending trillions trying to build a machine to replace them; not just their work, but all aspects of their lives.

The problem is the H1B visa is a lottery not a points based system. As someone who applied for an H1B 5 times and never got it, despite being highly skilled and having a PhD and a well paying job. The only way in was on an intern visa or an Einstein visa. Insane system

Looked after my son who has T1D for now 5 years, checked keytones maybe 20 times. Compared to blood glucose which we check look at every 5 minutes.

Maybe this is more for Type 2 or other diabetes, or for people prone to DKA. Or it is for people with a working pancreas who think looking at their blood sugars (and now keytones) tells them something like soothsayers reading tea leaves

So you won't support the creator, but support a person who summarizes the creator. You could have just pasted the link into Claude and asked for a summary of the blog post.

In New Zealand we have private insurance and universal health care. Insurance kind of fills the gaps and usually has faster turn around time, like 1-day vs 1-month for an MRI. But like insulin is free for everyone, so nobody is going broke while dying here rationing it.

Of course it does, but only one country has to keep commissioning and ignoring studies to work out a group of 300million people can get better prices for everything if the incentive for the government is to decrease the price rather than increase it for their buddies

Awesome write up. Finding these bugs in such a well used piece of software is like donating to humanity
