Industry takeoff would certainly be a nice-to-have. But the racket community is largely computer scientists, who program for research. Will computer scientists turn to Rust to write papers because it's fast ? I don't think so, because their needs seems to be a language that's easy to pick up and experiment with, and writepapers with. People will argue over sexp syntax, but that's why Rhombus exists.

At least it shows that the authors are aware of this issue and planned for it.

Racket is not interpreted. It is compiled to machine code. You don't know what you're talking about.

~1/10.000 patient-years is a non-concern ?! I hope you're not an epidemiologist.

Metabolic acidosis. Not trivial at all.

Which happily, is totally devoid of side effects.

Amusingly, this was a very common if not the most common stance on this very website some time ago. Surely, don't look for assistance on the internet regarding memory issues.

Don't come and spoil our nice individualism with populational effects, you filthy rationalist !

Of course deskilling will happen. But marketing says the machine is more often right than the operator is, and people also want it (we can replace docs with AI today, yadda yadda). Soooo... to be expected? It's just that the machine has to work correctly, which is not on the endoscopist, right?

You're absolutely right! This man's got horrible taste in drugs.

How to hedge a bet 101:

1.you bet on risky stuff using something of value (money, health,...)

2.since you're unsure whether your bet will pay off, you bet some more on some other risky stuff, just to be sure.

BTW if you were wondering, of course all those proposed weird life-prolonging treatments are totally devoid of side-effects.

Yes, although even for modern medicine curative and preventative strategies are very distinct. Sure, they'll give you pills to compensate for a problem you already have. But there are few meds that protect you against stuff you'll maybe catch in the future. Vaccines and antibiotics are obvious examples, but I'm not aware of many others. The rest of preventative strategies overwhelmingly consists in correcting deficits or excesses (calories, vitamins, sleep, exercise etc.)
