I'm lucky enough to have a great doctor and access to excellent Bay Area medical care. I've taken lots of standard screening tests over the years and have tried lots of "health tech" devices and tools. With all this said, by far the most useful preventative medical advice that I've ever received has come from unleashing coding agents on my genome, having them investigate my specific mutations, and having them recommend specific follow-on tests and treatments. Population averages are population averages, but we ourselves are not averages. For example, it turns out that I probably have a 30x(!) higher-than-average predisposition to melanoma. Fortunately, there are both specific supplements that help counteract the particular mutations I have, and of course I can significantly dial up my screening frequency. So, this is very useful to know. I don't know exactly how much the analysis cost, but probably less than $100. Sequencing my genome cost a few hundred dollars. (One often sees papers and articles claiming that models aren't very good at medical reasoning. These analyses are usually based on employing several-year-old models, which is a kind of ludicrous malpractice. It is true that you still have to carefully monitor the agents' reasoning, and they do on occasion jump to conclusions or skip steps, requiring some nudging and re-steering. But, overall, they are almost literally infinitely better for this kind of work than what one can otherwise obtain today.) There are still lots of questions about how this will diffuse and get adopted, but it seems very clear that medical practice is about to improve enormously. Exciting times!

Oh, neat! @createstreets has already done exactly this: x.com/createstreets/….
Patrick Collison@patrickc

· There is good evidence that foundation models can accurately simulate human preferences. · @createstreets and others have shown that a lot of new construction scores poorly in aesthetic surveys. Can we combine these insights? Could we cheaply score all new (or proposed) buildings with "expected human affinity"? Architects or developers may choose to construct buildings that receive bad grades (preferences obviously aren't static, and avant-garde transgression can catalyze changes in taste), but having some model of the response would surely be a helpful input in the planning process. I'd imagine many clients would question their architects when the model predicts apathy (or worse).

marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu… UCSD report: "At our campus, the picture is truly troubling. Between 2020 and 2025, the number of freshmen whose math placement exam results indicate they do not meet middle school[!] standards grew nearly thirtyfold, despite almost all of these students having taken beyond the minimum UCOP required math curriculum, and many with high grades."

This week, a math professor at MIT told me that incoming students are, on average, noticeably worse at math than they used to be. Harvard, of course, just added a remedial math class, Math MA5, "aimed at rectifying a lack of foundational algebra skills among students".

.@ZohranKMamdani I do not speak for all Jews, but I do represent the views of the large majority of the NY Jewish community, which is increasingly concerned about your statements about Israel and the Jewish people. I urge you to reconsider your long-held rejection of Israel’s right to exist. Be a uniter and a peacemaker.

I was shocked at the refusal to condemn calls for genocide during yesterday's Congressional testimony from the presidents of MIT, Harvard, and Penn. I ended up watching a few hours of the hearing, and the answers were shamefully evasive and equivocal throughout. As an alum (albeit fleeting) of the first of those institutions, it appears that something is very broken. x.com/i/status/17321… (More from the White House, @AlbertBourla, and @tylercowen: • nbcnews.com/politics/white… • x.com/albertbourla/s… • marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu….)

@Nadav_Eyal @Nadav_Eyal כל כך נכון אבל. איזו ברירה יש לנו אלא להחזיק את החבל הזה ב2 קצותיו. העולם המערבי בא זה שהולך להמליך מנהיגים קיצוניים שלפחות במלחמה באסלאם הקיצוני כן יטיבו עמנו. אז מה לא נתמוך במנהיגים החדשים? ובמקביל נשמור על קשר טוב עם הצדדים המתונים לכשהם יחזרו לשלטון.

1.אחד הדברים שישראל מתמודדת אתו בעולם בצורה הכי חדה, בפעם הראשונה, היא ההתארגנות של פזורה פרו-פלסטינית, ערבית ומוסלמית. באופן ברור, אלה הגרעין הקשה בהפגנות (ולצדם השמאל הרדיקלי). דברים כאלה היו בעבר, אבל המספרים גדלים, וכך גם ההתעצמות החברתית והפוליטית. יחד עם החדירה של קטאר

What is Happening in Israel is Devastating.. Watching all of these families and especially children being herded, assaulted and murdered in the streets is Heartbreaking. Imagine if this was happening to you?? It’s Un-fathomable. Conflicts can never be resolved with violence. Unfortunately Humanity does not understand this Universal truth. Has Never Understood it. We live in a World Ravaged by Hate. My heart goes out to Israel. To Families and Homes that have been destroyed. To children who are lost. To Innocent Victims who have Been Killed. To All who are Suffering or who will suffer from this conflict. Im Praying For you. I am aware that this is the work of Hamas and there are many innocent people in Palestine who do not support this terrorist organization. This Tragic attack will only cause more suffering for everyone Let us all Pray. For Israel. 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 For Peace. 🤍 For The World.

על מה ולמה אנחנו צריכים לשלם 135₪ בחודש על ספורט? הדבר הזה חייב לעבור רגולציה כלשהי, תנו לנו אופציות לצפייה באינטרנט במחיר נמוך יותר, תעשו את זה מודולרי ותנו לנו להרכיב את החבילה כמו שאנחנו רוצים, לא יודע מה, אבל זה חייב להשתנות, עושקים פה את האנשים.
