    So many possibilities for error... Is every case of dementia diagnosed accurately? Is there a difference between professions how likely their dementia is to be diagnosed accurately…

    Can you link to those recommendations? I can't find anything on the Norwegian public health sites specifically about farmed salmon.

    I think the answer is much simpler: They didn't recognize the potential of that specific architecture. I don't think anyone could have. They valued the perk to employees being able…

    The ids were used in a limited context and it compared to all the other ids generated in the same context. Yes, absolutely nonsensical. I find it interesting that presumably the LL…

    They do tend to overengineer. The other day 5.6 Sol generated a while loop around a uuid4 call to make sure the generated ids were unique... I wonder if that's also how I'd behave …

    What fraction of Google is owned by the engineers at Google? 5%? That's nothing compared to the bargaining power obtained by organized labor, actual socialist organization.

    I mean why do you say that large tax evading organizations, operating in an extremely capitalist environment, steered by a small, unfathomably rich, group of people with uncommon a…

    If there's no shadowy cabal then why do our politicians continue to pass domestically unpopular laws? I mean, there doesn't have to be a literal shadowy cabal, the effective "cabal…

    Don't you think modern image analysis tools such as llms will be easily defeated by measures such as adding colored rings? A couple of years ago you could add some pixels to an ima…

    Are you calling Macron a "leftist"? It does help your argument because it's a tautology that "the leftists failed to provide prosperity" if the entire political spectrum counts as …

    Looks great! One minor correction - the `summarize` function in duckdb can also be used in CTEs etc. But you have to wrap the `summarize` in a `from` clause like this: with some_ta…

    Call it progress, call it "economic leverage", a very inflated stock market is no good measure for either. It's true the US economy has grown faster than the European in the last t…

    To be fair the value of the stock market is not a good indicator of progress. The US stock market is incredibly inflated. Besides, it's a bit strange to argue that it's impossible …

    To add to that: There are also "compounding effects" from investments made by tax money, just as for any other investments, the difference is that the compounding gains are collect…
