yup that what claude does too

I will go one step further. There are several evolutionary anthropologists that think the number 1 thing modern humans have over other homos that caused us to outlast them is not intelligence, or brain power or physical power, but that we are just more social. Being social it seems is our superpower and our greatest strength but the other side of the coin is that it is also our weakness.

In general, we don’t do curative surgeries for metastatic cancers. The thinking is that it is has spread that much away from where it started, there little point going to cut out where it started alone. Are we then to cut out every place it has spread to and every how it got to those places.

We do do palliative surgeries if warranted but the intent there is not to cure, but to relieve some symptoms and transiently improve quality of life.

Please direct any specific questions you have about your sisters case directly to her doctors

Brilliant! This is the logic behind the birthday problem where you only need 45 people present to have greater than 90% chance that 2 people share a birthday.

Even rare events become very likely when you repeat it. A 5% wrong chance means half are dead after 10 tries

or memorize a few

I agree. Insurance is generally a better solution for this than engaging some burglar

But they keep voting governments that spend more than even democrats

Their core principles do exist. It’s really racism

I compare it basketball. Due to the goal being 10ft in the air, it structurally biased against shorter people. You don’t need actually size-ist for it to exist. It’s just inherent to how the system of rules are constructed

There’s one thing you can guarantee in America. If it puts the interests of high income people vs everyday income people, the policies favoring the rich will almost always win out.

whats all this talk about 20% wealth tax. We are asking for 1% per year, and the rich are still screaming. damn I pay more than that on my house.

i hate when people bring it up. everybody that works pays payroll taxes which is around 25% when you count both sides.

i disagree with you. The author is pointing at deeper cultural issue of lack of candor that unaddressed allows things like sexual abuse to flourish. It is an organization that is not willing to tackle serious or face hard things head on. Yeah and their product sucks, so improved marketing won't save it.

Good analogy except a human is several orders in magnitude more complex than that

I'm a doctor who used to be an engineer. Deriving things from first principles in medicine is a lie we doctors tell ourselves.the truth is this.we have some really good understanding of syne things at molecular levels that we then correlates to things that happen clinically at a macro level, that correlation is very very handwavy. But we teach it as if we know for sure. We don't. The few things that we think we have a somwhat good correlation for, we often test on our exams, but even for most of those things, it's some handwavy link

I recall being an engineering classes, armed with just calculus and linear algebra and newton laws, I could attack just about every problem from first principles from my entire undergrad. Every. I didn't have to take into consideration real life presentation of the problem. First principles were enough to get me nearly there

Medicine is fundamentally not that way. Yes we learn the biology, but if you reason solely from biology, you will quickly end up in the wrong places. to become a doctor, I had to learn that hard way that yeah a disease doesn't just present this way just because the underlying physics and biology suggests it should. You separately have to learn how the disease presents, then try to tie it back to our extensive but still very very limited understanding of the possible biology.

I have problems with doctors that don't acknowledge how tenous that link is and despite how much we know, we still know so so little. We are far more useful than what we know.

I understand to biology majors, the few things that seem to follow physiologically from moelculqr biology dupes us into thinking medicine currebtly derives from first pricinples. But it doesnt.
