Yes, they get visually more sphere-like as more faces are added. But spheres are obviously/trivially non-Rupert, while the question of whether a convex polyhedron can be non-Rupert is more interesting.

Re: Sendgrid killing their free tier - I used them for the contact form on my personal website, and after they ended the free tier I was able to move to Resend (who has a similar free tier) without too much work. Pretty happy with it so far.

What does that look like in a more intensive hospital setting? I've seen the shift to midlevels happening in primary care, but I'm not sure how that translates to inpatient settings - I'm vaguely aware that there are rules around when a PA/NP must consult an MD before making a decision, and I feel like they would encounter those situations way more for an inpatient.

For other readers: "15 Twh per year" is equivalent to 1.71 GW, 17.1% of the "10GW" number used to describe the deal.

More so than tables per unit time, it's dollars per unit time. When I was a server, the usual metric of how well you performed on a given shift was the total of your bills ("how much you sold"). The best servers were good at encouraging parties to spend on the things they were on the fence about: the appetizer, the second drink, the dessert. Even with the volatility of individual tipping decisions, getting your tables to order more increases the EV of your total tips.

That's really cool. I was mostly envisioning hands-on admin stuff (because that's the work I'm most familiar with), but I hadn't thought about how much of a boon it would be to have someone with incident management experience arriving to help out. If you ever do a write-up about your experience, I'd love to read it.

I'm curious about how you got in the door here. Very cool, but isn't healthcare IT notoriously cagey about access? I've had to do PHI training and background checks before getting into the system at my (admittedly only 2) PHI-centered jobs.

Granted, if it was such an emergency, I could see them rushing you through a lite version of the HR onboarding process. Did you have a connection in the hospital through whom you offered your services?

"Artslop"? Care to elaborate on your usage here? I'm curious if your problem here is with the incursion of art into your preferred dinoslop, or if artslop is your catch-all for works that aren't in the high-concept genre film realm.

Just trying to keep my finger on the pulse of a neoword as it spends more time outside of containment.

Looks like I'm about to start learning which of my time-killing websites are hosted on GCP - The Ringer is down, and since Spotify owns them and is a major GCP customer, it looks like they've been hit by this. CRAZY that the GCP status page is still green.

I like letter-slash-letter abbreviations but I've never run into c/f before. What does it mean? Do you remember where you first picked it up?

I agree that it's not wrong, but I would certainly call it incomplete too. It's your choice which of those two points you want to emphasize, but calling the Standard Model "not wrong" with no mention of its incompatibility with General Relativity would feel disingenuous to me.
