> according to the most recent study estimating total benzodiazepine use among Americans, which analyzed data from 2015 and 2016, an estimated 30.6 million American adults had taken benzodiazepines in the previous twelve months, with 25.3 million of them using them as prescribed.

That's much more than I would have expected

Beautiful! I see where the Bauhaus comparison comes from.

I'd imagine that the people 100 years ago saw those concrete blocks like we might the skyline of Singapore

NAZA's subtitle doesn't overpromise. It is very much worth watching, especially for tech people. Some of the interviews get into the details of unit 8200's tech, e.g. they mention some feature inputs that their Hamas-not-Hamas classifier is based on.

Most of the facts aren't new, for example Haaretz was reporting as it was happening on the escalating amount of civilian casualties considered acceptable in a strike on a random Hamas recruit. I even remember doing the same calculation as one interviewee (~100k Hamas members * ~20 NAZA = the entire population of Gaza) at the time, and being similarly disturbed. But it's something else still to get the inside view, including the participants' motivations.

They do have relevant members, such as Peter Scholze

isn't he just contrasting 2 use cases of LLMs?

I find this hard to parse, maybe because English is not my first language. Do senior SWEs provide more value than they provide principles, or do they provide more value than principles do?

Perlis's 10th epigram feels germane:

> Get into a rut early: Do the same process the same way. Accumulate idioms. Standardize. The only difference(!) between Shakespeare and you was the size of his idiom list - not the size of his vocabulary.

> How is that a bad thing?

The point isn't that it's bad, but that it's equivalent to dying and then someone else taking your place. So if it's OK for your character to change fundametally over the span of your life, then it must also be OK for you to die at some point and yield the stage to the next generation.

why not both?

So the thing about disneyland with the death penalty that attracts you is the death penalty? Geez...

Is it so bad to stick with a product that works? I use a Cherry KC200 MX specifically because it is a simple office keyboard.
