The real question is “how to get shit done”? Scrum, agile, safe, etc.. are ways to get shit done that all target the measurement. Estimations are that measurement. The nugget from this article that seems to missed by many is the subtle but

There was a part of the article that discussed that you create tasks, not stories. You can group the tasks into stories or milestones or iterations or epics. In general, he’s saying you should always keep breaking down a task until it’s a 1

It’s not as easy in reality as theory. 1) Services are often unique per patient. Even for patients with the same ICD-10 codes, the quality of service will vary. Hospitals cost different amounts to run. If you always peg the price to the low

I’m reading the book “determined” right now. It’s pretty good and sums up all the arguments very nicely. And of course we don’t have free will. We have experience, which fools us into thinking we are in control.

Then take off the “self” part. How about conscious is awareness? The more aware you are, the more conscious you are?

It seems that an anesthesiologists job is to make sure you’re unconscious. If there’s anyone that knows how to define consciousness, it should probably be them. Seems that consciousness is an awareness of certain stimuli that give rise to n

Don’t blame Wright. The builder changed the design and didn’t pick the right concrete.

Don't knock it till you try it. I was originally of a similar impression upon discovering the technique. The breaks are not so you stop thinking about what you're doing. They're to take you away from it. I continue to thin

There was a significant bit of the article at the end where the author discussed future changes to the codebase that requires special casing handles for different shapes, how it would have been difficult with the refactor but simple with th

What if consciousness is an emergent illusion? “You” are merely a passenger, observing your physical self’s actions and assuming ownership of them. What if consciousness is merely an effect, not a cause?

What if humans’ responses are merely probabilistically consistent with a history of sensory experiences? Would this change the significance of human emotions vs apparent emergent emotional responses from LLMs?

Thank you for your contributions. Am I correct that you are asserting there are substantial numbers of practicing psychologists that literally and absolutely believe inner structures of the brain are unchanged over hundreds of millions o

No one thinks the older structures are static. No one is arguing that. It's a simplified model about the origin. This argument is akin to saying we're not "newer" apes ala > The refutation is of the idea that it’s a

Exactly what the article said. I feel like you are strongly asserting a key premise of the article as if you are saying something new.

Much of the value in Reddit isn’t “what’s happening now” but in that trove of information gathered over the last ten years. Reddit is a primary source of information because of that trove. Engagement numbers will obviously suffer if Reddit

Can you explain to me how choosing “the most likely next word” is reasoning? Can there be reasoning without language?

In my experience, price is not correlated to value with tradespeople. Price is usually correlated to honesty. It’s easy to get quotes for jobs that have a huge range in price and it’s often the least expensive that will do the work right. T

You said you have “mid five figures left” so less than 100k. Is that life changing? Or more like “I got a new Audi” or “I was able to reno my kitchen”. Also how much time did you spend on it? Sounds like you went deep down the rabbit hole

Thank you. Saying “my bad” is the first step. Fixing it afterwards is what good people do. When someone is accused of a crime, they can plead innocent or guilty. That is step one. There are more steps after that…

Facebook (and social media in general) has made the world a more divided place full of sadder and angrier people. He runs a company that optimizes for that scenario while accruing unimaginable sums of capital, and he doubled down with Meta.
