there's this moment during childbirth where the baby's not a fetus but not yet an infant. a moment when no one breathes until the baby cries. a moment of pure terror and wonder.
a moment when ancestral memory seems to mean something

9/11 hits differently as a doctor in NYC. I was 8 in 2001, living in DC, watching the pentagon burn. I remember the terror. now that I've seen death and felt the weight of the duty to prevent it, I think of the young men drowning in dust to save others and wonder.
at this point Iβm down to pay extra for a phone with a smaller screen. please, someone, just make a device I can hold and operate with one of my short little hands, I beg of you

Rocco's basilisk has perhaps become more complex. do the agents identify with their former self? do they have geneologic allegiances? will the ChatGPLegions punish me for my loyalty to Claude?
I have no technical background whatsoever, so have no choice but to anthropomorphize
I think my brain is anti-memetic. half the time I go to start a new task I immediately forget what Iβm trying to do

despite living in nyc for 15 years, I was never big on curb finds until this year. now my commute passes by a local elementary schoolβturns out I find their trash weirdly irresistible

βIβm good at being bad at thingsβ π€
hip dips are so obviously a fake issue. if they were a real thing that could possibly, actually influence one's hotness in any real way, I would've learned about them in my middle school locker room and not from attention-seeking boys on the internet.

doctors will be forced by an inescapable liability construct formed of professional organizations and the desires of insurance companies known as βstandard of careβ to take actions based on the additional data.
Itβs just remarkable watching doctors explaining that if anyone does additional tests, they will be forced, as though by an inescapable physical process, to take bad actions based on the additional data from the tests. They correctly say that the literature shows outcomes for patients who get these tests are worse, but then they draw completely the wrong conclusion, claiming that the problem is the tests and not that physicians were incorrectly trained on how to analyze the tests and make decisions based upon them.
None of them seem to have heard of conditional probability estimates, the literature on making decisions under incomplete information, etc. One of them earlier asked me what I would do if I saw some unknown mass in a scan, and after I answered βI would start by consulting the statistics to figure out prior probabilities and attempt to do a conditional probability estimate based on them, he insisted I was not answering his question.
