By that line of thinking, even if AI scribes are terrible, you can only blame the doctor because they didn’t check their notes.
In this case as the patient, all you care is there was an inaccurate diagnosis in your notes. If the doctor were typing them up by hand, presumably that would not have happened.
Similarly if Tesla Self Driving cars got into collisions at 3x the rate of non-self driving, would you defend Tesla because all issues are the drivers fault who are supposed to have their hands on the wheels and paying attention?
They do define it clearly in the 45 page linked PDF. They look at 7 day standard deviation of bedtime, then separate it into 3 groups where the worst one is labeled irregular.
The standard deviation of the worst groups bedtime was 108 minutes.
“For bedtime regularity, the median variability was 33 min
(IQR 13) in the regular group, 59 min (IQR 15) in the fairly regular group,
and 108 min (IQR 55) in the irregular group. For wake-up time regularity,
the corresponding values were 41 min (IQR 19), 73 min (IQR 15), and 114
min (IQR 41), respectively. For the sleep midpoint regularity, the median
variability was 33 min (IQR 13) in the regular group, 55 min (IQR 11) in
the fairly regular group, and 93 min (IQR 40) in the irregular group.”
There were other prediction markets like Intrade which was founded in 1999. I had coworkers who made a significant amount of money doing prediction market arbitrage for the 2012 election.
If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong, like your contributions were judged on something other than quality, like you were expected to be someone you’re not—I want you to know:
You are not alone.
Your differences matter. Your perspective matters. Your voice matters, even when—and especially when—it doesn’t sound like everyone else’s.

How is doing public reading of poetry not cheap?
I have friends who do standup comedy and they just show up at open mic nights and it doesn’t cost them anything. One is good enough that now the venues are paying him a little bit.
AI can help increase productivity, that is get more outputs (goods/services) for the same inputs.
Two hundred years ago, shirts had to be hand-spun, hand-woven, and hand-sewn, so ordinary people could only own one or two. Now because of automation and factories they are so cheap that poor people have many.
Previously 97% of the workforce was engaged in agriculture, and even in the 20th century, famines killed millions. Now with increased productivity we create so much food that obesity is the defining health crisis of our time.
All classes have been able afford better clothing and more food, not just those owning the means of production.

Even in the last 25 years, we've seen large increases in life expectancy, child mortality fell by more than 50%, 1 billion people left extreme poverty, access to knowledge and education expanded, and more.
The meta analysis is inconclusive. I would not use that as evidence to back up the idea that you should avoid any UV exposure. I’d describe this as a complicated situation where reasonable people could disagree.

What did we find?: Our findings are mixed. Exposure to sunlight has been reported both to increase and to decrease your risk of dying. Alongside its harmful effect on skin cancer, sunlight may help prevent other types of cancer. However, there were issues with the amount of data available, as well as the quality of some of the data that was available, so we can’t be certain about the findings. Currently, there is not strong enough evidence to alter sun exposure advice and so people should continue to follow the guidance.

I’m not the original poster but one thing I look at is recommendations from bodies in other countries that have more experience with the issue. During COVID I found countries that had experience with SARS had better guidance than the US.
Similarly Australia has more than 2x higher skin cancer risk. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends even people with dark skin wear sunscreen daily, even if they don’t go outside. Australia doesn’t recommend this noting the tradeoffs of having higher risk of vitamin D deficiency.
I live in NYC and for the majority of my trips the subway gets me there faster than a car would.
Sure you can find plenty of random places it would take longer for me to get to by train, but for places I actually want to get to, the subway is faster.
It took 5 times of me calling and explaining that they can’t charge it as out of network before they adjusted it.
