In medicine, if you look hard you will likely find something.
That part that confuses me about his story is: not once does he mention the symptoms or side effects. Unless I somehow missed that part, or he's leaving them out for private reasons, his evidence and symptoms are entirely lab-based.
Bodies are weird and do "abnormal" things in reaction to the environment, stress, physical activity, nutrition, etc. -- not everything your body does has to be a disease, a disorder, or something wrong.
He talks about how if he hadn't spent (ungodly amounts of) money tracking his health over the years, he could be in worse off condition. But I'd bet that if he hadn't been tracking his labs, he would've lived a pretty normal life.
Maybe the outcomes at 80+ years might be slightly different? But bodies will still naturally deteriorate over time and humans cannot live forever.
Not trying to sound snarky, but this is just part of transitioning from a junior/mid to a more senior developer: realizing that code readability matters more than terse-ness.
Exactly this. People are so "doom and gloom" about the future with AI, but I think it's because they are subconsciously worried they can't keep up. I am not immune to it. I feel that dread every once in a while too.
But at the end of the day, does it really matter to most people how a car works? No. When it breaks, we still have professionals to fix it.
The same can be said about software. Does it actually matter how it gets built or what the code looks like, so long as it works and there are no security vulnerabilities? Not really. We will always need people who know how to debug/fix it, albeit that number might be smaller than it is today.
If one of you is a stay at home parent, then it's worth trying. But don't stress yourself out trying to make it happen.
I have 2 kids. The first I was able to stay home with for 1 year. We did what I'd call "light EC" which worked well and she was using the potty for BMs most of the time by 1 year old. She was fully potty trained by 2.
Second child: both parents are working full time, which means childcare is split between nanny & daycare. The nanny is pretty good about encouraging the potty, but EC went pretty much out the window. Daycare facility doesn't even have potties until the 2 year old room. She isn't 2 yet, but is just starting to understand the connection between the sensation and actually going.
Do we think this is not already happening, but on an "unconscious" level? I mean, if ChatGPT is trained on the internet, wouldn't it make sense that most recommended content would be sponsored ads. This is a serious question because I don't really have a full understanding of how the training is done.
I had a similar experience. A few months ago, I was in the city for a weekend and took Waymo for most of my rides. The one time I chose to use Lyft/Uber, the driver floored it before we even had a chance to shut the door or get buckled! The rest of the time we took Waymo.
I rarely use ride-sharing but other experiences include having been in a FSD Tesla Uber where the driver wasn't paying attention to the road the entire time (hands off the wheel, looking behind him, etc.).
I don't know if I trust Waymo cars with my life, but at least there are SOME standards, compared to the natural variance of humans.
