So where is the "case for documentation"? The author provides no vision and no actionable recommendations. Documentation is not even mentioned until the end of the article. Anyone can pat themselves on the back for…
If you had to give a percent figure, what do you believe your mother's chances were of discovering a radical curative treatment for SCC and curing her own cancer?
I notice you've watered down your terminology from "cure" to "improvement on clinical best practice" which are pretty different things in the context of cancer treatment. However, I can respect the switch and I'll treat…
Exhausting all treatment options is not the same as having nothing to close. There's no shortage of cancer patients at end-of-life stage undergoing aggressive treatments and/or experimental therapies in clinical trials…
What doesn't make its way into case studies and HN headlines is all the stories of people who did get access to uncertain treatments and died anyway. Sometimes faster than they would have without the experimental…
> He's not wrong though. It's more of a "not even wrong" statement. It's the kind of useless and reductive analysis poor leaders trot out from a position of personal frustration after failing to surmount the challenges…
Dietary advice is one thing. Woo peddling and fringe medicine is another. The original question didn't even ask about rheumatoid arthritis. I'm not overreacting. There are many people who will read my comment and know…
I know this is well-intentioned, but please keep this stuff out of health threads about serious health conditions. This kind of material lacks rigor, dramatically misrepresents the state of scientific and medical…
"AI assistants are bad" isn't the take. The thing making people feel icky/uncomfortable about Her - and about the 4o demos - is not the idea of Samantha but the idea of Theodore. It's about nerds' idealized AI versions…
> but I don't think she has any rights to voices that merely sound like hers, when they're not being used to fraudently imply that she's involved. IANAL but it's actually not that simple. There are laws and precedents…
Quick check of the bio reveals his alternative is Svelte. Weird since the usual Svelte argument is that it's so simple anyone can pick it up and be effective the next day - unlike bloated old React where each team needs…
Feels a lot like a lengthier, polemical way of saying that frameworks become popular because they allow more people to do more stuff more easily. But this is bad because businesses benefit or something. None of the…
If medicine is just following a decision tree why would we need LLMs to do it? Computers have been able to follow decision trees for 70 years or something.
> Most places I've worked in the last 6 or so years are obsessed with tooling and add so many lint rules that it's often impossible to merge your pull request if you decide to format your code in a way that violates the…
I recovered, but it took a long time. I don't know about RA. OPs blog post sounds a bit too optimistic for someone living with untreated RA for 3 years.
The question here isn't about damage but about what mechanisms in the "pain pathway" are responsible for OP's specific experience of this pain. One day he has sudden, debilitating pain - in both wrists - in the absence…
Seems like a bizarre omission from the article given the number of tangents and topics covered. My guess is that going down the traditional medicine route lead to him being told there was no organic basis to the pain.…
It definitely can be. The presence of uncontrolled interruptions is a common complaint in open offices. Individual employees tend to manage this issue with noise cancelling headphones. I've also seen eng managers create…
That's even worse. You're sending out rounds of "Hi's" to multiple people, distracting them to prepare them for a question you might not even ask? Candidly, you sound like an incredibly selfish communicator.
> At the least, its a communication that you are about to ask them something, i.e. check back here in the next minute or so while I type out my question. This is part of what makes it such poor etiquette. You've created…
The difference is absolutely not 3 seconds. That's just the lower bound. In the case that both people are present and available in the chat at the same time, sure, it's 3 seconds. If not, that extra "hi" can add latency…
I don't think the two PoVs are incompatible. Lower tolerance for mess drives people to clean earlier and more proactively. The labor equity issue is a direct consequence of differences in taste. There are lots of group…

Of course not. Only titans of industry and the landed gentry of the executive class are allowed to "move fast and break things", "ask for forgiveness rather than permission" and take "imperfect action rather than…
