Connecting your comment to another about commercial model, seems the potential win here is selling useful tools to radiologists that may leverage AI rather than to end customers with the idea to replace some radiology consultations. This se

The mechanism that can shift supply to less polluting sources of electricity and shape demand for computation/electricity is pricing. Measurement, pricing and reducing pollution externalities is a major challenge, but I don't thin

Timely but I dare ask: I need to rework my thinkpad, still in good shape but with an older ubuntu distro. Reasonably fluent linux user but not expert, primarily dev workflows - what's the recommendation?

Start with goals. “With all this stuff I hope…” or think what you hope to be true in three years. Work back from that. The default (which is great if you like) is I’d like to spend a lot of time shuffling digital resources.

We had a scare around Cystic Fibrosis. I admire your courage and compassion - my best to you and your family. The story of how CF treatments developed (Trikafta) is remarkable. KS seems much rarer than CF, but I recommend studying how the

I enjoyed The Gene by Siddhartha Mukherjee. Depending on what you're looking for it might be relatively light on the science side and includes autobiographical digressions, but overall gives a high-level overview of key developments i

To follow on from your excellent second point - "actually be involved in the conversation" People understandably don't appreciate if you're parroting back to them what they said (even paraphrased) so that you can appear

Is that true? Take a look at e.g. https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=ANHRS# . In most places, people are working less hours, and they have significantly higher standards of living in many ways. Especially in soft

Hemingway agrees: "I had learned already never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it." -A Mov

Article itself is pretty light on the details, but good opportunity to ask the HN community -- which podcasts really fire your neurons?

If you try to read all the words, just faster, you won't get much farther. The trick is to take a more active approach and optimize how you spend your time towards the goal of comprehension. One thing that worked well for me was shift

Michael Pettis is one my favourite China commentators, with a big focus on the shifts necessary in the balance sheet and composition of growth, and whether that can be done smoothly or necessarily through some catastrophe. Not to mention a

You might have come across them before, but the Feynman Lectures are a wonderful tour of undergrad-level physics, which combines the math with intuitive narratives. And it's now online: http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.ed
