Being wrong and paying for your mistakes is very much human. Nobody is infallible. Even Ray Dalio made mistakes, and these mistakes cost him and his investors millions of dollars. We call this having skin in the game. He eventually learned because of his mistakes and became an even better investor. But academics don't pay for their mistakes. They get promoted and publish books. They don't learn, instead they leech off the taxpayer and essentially fail upwards. Why? No skin in the game = no incentive to learn and adapt. It's fiat science.

In a free market, an economist who gets an economic prediction wrong gets fired and becomes a potential liability for a future employer. Why would I hire an analyst who makes a wrong prediction about an investment by a factor of 1000? Such a person might better be suited for unclogging toilets, blowing leaves off the street or performing other, more useful community services in exchange for money. In academia, the economist can just make up a reason he was wrong, provide ad hoc explanations for their failure, then get a book deal and a career promotion. They can continue living in the illusion they are creating value for society, while in reality they are actively destroying it. And this illusion is maintained by taxation. tl;dr this person is a fucking moron

It can link to nonexistent pubmed articles and make up data. It is seriously too soon to use it for designing a decision path for a patient.

It's a shitcoin.

Lots of shitcoiners on nostr, geez.

But I like my gadgets!

I'd love to pay my butcher in sats.

Oh look, a 51% attack on a PoW shitcoin secured by CPUs, who would have thought that possible? https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/double-spending-risk-alarms-raised-as-community-detects-monero-takeover/ar-AA1KnjMT Seems like an interesting topic for your podcast!

They are structurally similar molecules and use the same GLUT4 transporter to enter the cell.

There will always be alternative distros to choose from, linux allows me to choose what runs on my machine, as opposed to being dictated by Microsoft and Apple.

The amount of people in my life that have suddenly become rabid warhawks and antisemites in the last few years has really surprised me. I have seen people I thought were reasonable advocating for the creation of a european military-industrial complex, as if such a state funded enterprise was ever a good idea.

I would not hire an analyst who was wrong. If I could choose between someone who was right and someone who was off - by a factor of a 1000 in this retard's case, I would always choose the better candidate. This isn't a controversial opinion. The way academia functions today is that researchers are funded to publish papers, regardless of their quality. Just pick any study in the field of nutrition or exercise and you'll see how laughable they are. Even the hard sciences are having problems, but that's another topic. Directionally, we are bitcoiners, which makes this particular Harvard economist's opinion irrelevant :).
