dad tell me the story again of how companies used to pay another company to have root access in order to be more secure
'Pouca gente se lembra, mas Viktor Orbán foi em tempos um primeiro-ministro banal. Derrotado nas urnas, ficou surpreso e magoado, declarando que “a nação não pode estar na oposição”, mas não teve outro remédio e abandonou o poder. O Orbán que conhecemos hoje — o que fechou jornais e expulsou universidades, controlou tribunais e os usou para prejudicar adversários — é o Orbán do segundo mandato. O padrão do autoritário cumpriu-se, e Orbán é como sempre uma lição para o futuro.'

The real danger of AI (and Coin) is the insatiable growth in energy and water consumption.
Beware exponential growth with short doubling periods. By the time you realise there's a problem, you're only one doubling period away from overshoot, crash and burn.

'The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention once advised five days of isolation after a positive Covid test, followed by five days of masking when out in public. That is still a reasonable approach, Dr. Barouch said. “It’s believed that after about five days, then contagiousness goes down substantially,” he said, though that “doesn’t necessarily mean every single person on day six would not be contagious.”'

'Pluvicto is one of a new generation of so-called “radiopharmaceutical” therapies that can help cancer patients live longer, but are expensive to produce due to complex supply chains. The US list price of the drug is about $42,500 a dose, with a treatment cycle of up to six doses, but it is not offered by some European health systems.'

How can we train people in the art of learning to read scholarly research like a scientist?
Fascinated by this project that studied how biologists read papers, from undergrads to faculty, and why undergrads get so lost on things that experienced researchers find fast/easy.
More experienced readers focused on the data. More junior ones focused on the narrative.

“#Universities…control the knowledge in our society,…what we call truth and what we call falsity…If any of us want to do the things that we want to do for our country, and for the people who live in it, we have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country.”
