so what happened in the study? THE RADIATED MICE LIVED SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER they had a 53% LOWER risk of death (HR=.475, p=0.003) than the mice dosed with no radiation!!!










I am sold on the power of coding agents — verifiable, formal domain; decades of question/answer databases, etc. But the tech hiring bust is clearly ALSO working off the Covid era hiring bubble plus lack of US visas leading to offshoring. I mean, come on, look at that bump.




My hypothesis is that AI will lead to less dramatic layoffs (e.g., the Block memo) and more a slower drip: companies will continue to fire at similar rates, but will hire at much slower rates. Those who are left will be expected to use AI tools--to figure it out--in order to pick up the slack from those who were let go. This will naturally lead to AI models being adopted effectively throughout organizations. But the labor market implications for the economy are in some ways more dire than the dramatic scenario: exactly the type of slow drip of increasing unemployment and lower labor force participation that policy has the hardest time dealing with (policy is much better when there is a clear demarcated disaster).


@valkenburgh Been doing this for a few years after I saw this (suprisingly 7 year old) video: youtube.com/watch?v=lIu1vw… I think it became more popular because of Scott Rao: scottrao.com/blog/2021/9/28… And here is a fun bonus video of an astrophysicist talking about it: youtube.com/watch?v=lPAel2…
