Glamorous toolkit has always looked interesting to me, but feels a bit unapproachable. It just feels so foreign between smalltalk and a whole sort of philosophy that goes with it.

For those with more experience, is it still relevant? Can the same be accomplished with python and jupyter notebooks?

I agree with the problems. I'm a bit uninformed, but in theory ending privatization isn't the only option, right? Hasn't there been problems with corruption in centralized healthcare as well? It seems like regulation could be an option (though I know that it has its own trade-offs as well).

Also, healthcare isn't the only industry suffering this pain though obviously a very important one.

Also, there's a question of how much of this is a cultural problem. How has this sort of thing been addressed in the past? Is the same solution even possible now with the power imbalance created with the current state of capitalism and technology?

Yup, and I'd expect that for an election year there will be a lot more. Even if none of it is directly sponsored by a candidate, supporters will likely create deepfake content, and it will be believable to some percentage of people.

I remember reading that a primary force in this, that's often overlooked, is the payment processors having incentive to raise the overall average transaction price so their cut is larger. That's why it's become so pervasive in the software. It's not necessarily businesses looking for a larger portion of employee compensation to come from tips.

This seems a bit more focused on "AI ethics" than "AI safety". It makes sense that they are framing the conversation this way, but it doesn't talk about the more significant risks of AI like "x-risk", etc.

Yes, they are inherently disabled. Medication can help, but even with strategies, tactics, and therapy, there is still brain chemistry at play. Medication can help, but has its trade-offs and isn't a silver bullet.

Self-discipline is also more costly. You can brute-force your way through tasks with ADHD, but it is more taxing on your overall energy. Those with ADHD typically experience impulses often and it's harder for them to ignore. Forcing yourself to ignore them requires extra energy. It's not sustainable to do all the time. It's hard for those without ADHD to truly understand what that's like.

In addition to impulsivity, executive dysfunction affecting starting tasks or work is also a big challenge.

Would it be better to be hired 1 month before Uber's IPO or 1 month after and why?
