@MattBruenig There’s clearly a floor but that argument proves too much. How do you account for the substantial inter-country variation (as a fraction of domestic income)?

@paulg Deuterium fusion would give us a cheap and basically unlimited fuel source with a modest waste stream, but it is an almost comically complex and expensive way to generate heat compared to fission, which is basically “put these rocks next to each other and they get hot”.

@lacker @paulg Exactly. A bit like computers: initially used mostly to solve equations (eg artillery motion and simulating weather & explosions). They turn out to be useful for other things...

Boomers believe they are citizens with rights, but they are hopelessly mired in naive illusions. If you are corrupt, you fear the boomers waking up. Millennials are much more disillusioned, but know they are not citizens. The millennials are awake, but nobody fears.

Anyone who looks at AOC’s dress and still thinks that capitalism is afraid of the American Left is delusional. Here more than anywhere else, capital absorbs its critics and turns their critique into a consumer good which is perfectly integrated within the broader system.

@SamoBurja Remote work means it's about the work. It's quite friendly to working mothers. Parents have had their eyes opened by remote schooling and I think co-schooling will continue to go bananas from a low current base. AI may end up replacing fake white collar jobs more than low skl

What other displacement models are there? Not memetic (or genetic), but still involving some kind of social amplifier?
@michael_nielsen -- Wed Sep 15 00:45:13 +0000 2021
I've been thinking about social amplifiers like this, and trying to think of other examples. There are certainly some - any successful meme (in the old, Dawkins sense) has this viral quality. You see this, for instance, in popular culture, religion, and politics.
@michael_nielsen -- Wed Sep 15 00:45:13 +0000 2021
Ditto, in a very different way, startups, where a competitive advantage over incumbents may be turned into an advantage in rate of growth. Again, you have an amplifier effect - Netflix starts tiny, but quickly displaces Blockbuster.
@michael_nielsen -- Wed Sep 15 00:45:13 +0000 2021
So an idea that starts out in just one head can very quickly - sometimes in just a few years! - take over the world, and become conventional wisdom. It's a kind of social amplifier.
@michael_nielsen -- Wed Sep 15 00:45:12 +0000 2021
In science, a very good idea - say, Einstein's ideas about spacetime, or the Alvarez (et al) ideas about a meteor impact killing the dinosaurs - may displace existing ideas. It's amplified out in various ways - conferences, journal articles, textbooks, classes, and so on.
@michael_nielsen -- Wed Sep 15 00:45:12 +0000 2021
Both science & startups involve what I think of as social amplifiers (or growth models).

The issue isn’t that BigTech can’t run a truthseeking process. It is that BigTech would strongly prefer not to run a truthseeking process over every human utterance because *BigTech is not being attacked for failing to arrive at truth but rather for threatening power.*
@patio11 -- Wed Sep 15 16:01:39 +0000 2021
I think this misunderstands the issue. BigTech is quite capable of ingesting science *and in fact does*, for example in making consequential choices about how they will protect their work forces. An interested party could score those dated choices against dated CDC or media.

It's in response to this, that 30k deaths might be acceptable in the UK. 30,000 people * 10 years of life lost = ~0.4% of the UK's annual life years lived. There *are* clear limits to what we should all sacrifice to increase life expectancy by ~0.4%. https://t.co/iiy25foaqw

In the interest of transparency: I have ivermectin on hand, and barring an alternative I will probably take it if I start to get sick. As it stands, the standard protocol for early stage COVID is "go home, come back if you can't breathe."
@webdevMason -- Tue Sep 14 21:34:52 +0000 2021
Indeed, early results from the Together Trial, a massive-scale rigorous study on early treatment protocols, show lackluster efficacy for ivermectin but considerable improvement in patients given fluvoxamine. Hope lives on for an effective early treatment for COVID!
@webdevMason -- Tue Sep 14 21:33:18 +0000 2021
Because the discourse is dominated by pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine zealotry, treatment has taken a backseat, and we're really not talking much about what can help people after exposure or symptom onset. And for highly vulnerable people, vaccinated or not, that's crucial.
@webdevMason -- Tue Sep 14 21:32:56 +0000 2021
-On the object level, this isn't something to celebrate. In an ideal world, there would be lots of ways to prevent and treat COVID. Regardless, we can and should celebrate the people working to figure out what's going on — always. Always, always.
@webdevMason -- Tue Sep 14 21:29:00 +0000 2021
Kelsey and Julia discussed the surprisingly strong media immune response to ivermectin, agreeing that it seemed disproportionate to the risk-benefit status of ivermectin. Messing with your gut biome might not be ideal, but if you're taking human doses, you're going to be fine.
@webdevMason -- Tue Sep 14 21:31:02 +0000 2021
If this is true, it casts serious doubt on ivermectin's strongest use case: as prophylaxis. Depending on the extent of the fraud that can be proven or reasonably argued, it could also be very bad news for people hoping to use ivermectin for early treatment.

Incorrect: Good strategy is about how we will be 10X better. More correct: Good strategy is about where we will choose to be 10X better (differentiate), where we will be 1X (meet table stakes), where we will be 0.1X (below table stakes), and the rationale for these trade-offs.

QSBS is truly one of the only tax breaks that systematically helps entrepreneurial, talented people who didn’t grow up rich get their on their own. To do away with it would be to diminish America’s magic further. Not a vibe.

If you start out rich, it doesn’t really matter. If you start from zero (in my case, less than zero given credit card debt when I was an entrepreneur), it can make all the difference.

@kwameopam @CaseyNewton i would say so, the roguelike genre has become more mainstream, and bigger titles like returnal and deathloop have run with it from a storytelling perspective. even fortnite is a timeloop game -- there's a whole run of batman comics about it (not a joke)

zooming out and seeing the big picture, I think my “success rate” more than mitigates my “failure rate” — anybody who is helped is helped substantially, anybody who isn’t helped is hopefully at worst just annoyed for a bit. I do feel bad when I fail to handle this perfectly

it’s tricky. I guess it depends on the context of the meeting. sometimes I see a good opportunity to present them with something (an idea, POV, etc) that I know will help them, and it does, and it’s amazing.

@BobYamtich -- Tue Sep 14 22:59:12 +0000 2021

3. The pace of vaccination in the US is not terrible: we're administering around 775,000 shots a day. But at that pace, and assuming case loads stay high, we'll still have 50 million+ unvaxxed, uninfected at Christmas.
@JamesSurowiecki -- Wed Sep 15 01:44:47 +0000 2021
2. So if you look at 125,000 cases a day and say, "The vaccines should have kept this from happening," remember those 100 million unvaxxed ppl. Realize that 90,000+ of new cases are unvaxxed, and that you can pile up 90,000 cases a day for 1000 days before you get to 90 million.
