Move fast and break things is why we have progressed from chopping off people's limbs and giving them cocaine to now. And healthcare is still far from perfect. Imagine what healthcare in 2500 will be like.

No it wasn't. The "move fast and break things" people were selling snake oil and alchemy while the actual science progressed slowly and deliberately, and the regulations around the latter were often written in the blood carelessly shed by the former.

This is just false. Healthcare does not move fast.

The design of this website is horrendous. Poor information density, inconsistent vertical spacing, haphazard font choices, lists that aren’t lists, and more.

It's like those email scams, it's meant to appeal to a specific kind of person.

They're restarting some nuke plants too. This seems like a decent idea given the power demands of data centers.

Which ones? AFAIK the nuke plants that shut down are very cost ineffective.

> I'm sure "move fast and break things" will work out great for health care.

Health care is already broken to the point of borderline dystopia. When I contrast the experience I had as a young boy of visiting a rural country doctor to the fast food health care experience of "urgent care" clinics, it makes my head spin.

The last few doctors I've been to have been completely useless and generally uncaring as well. Every visit I've made to a doctor has resulted in my feeling the same at the end but with a big medical bill to go home with.

At this point the only way I'll intentionally end up in a medical facility is if I'm unconscious and someone else makes that call.

Dentistry has met a similar fate as more and more dentists have been swallowed up by private equity. I've had loads of dental work, including a 'surprise' root canal, and never had an issue. My last dentist had a person on staff dedicated to pushing things through on the insurance front and my dental procedure was so awful it boarded on torture.

I used to be an annual check + 3 times a year dentist person. Today I'm dead set on not stepping foot in any kind of medical facility unless the alternative is incredible pain or certain death.

China and India are going to be subject to direct sanctions because of their energy dependencies. If the Western world shared their frugality, we'd be bankrolling both sides of Ukraine's war.

I believe Three Mile Island is restarting specifically to power planned data centers.

Quick exercise: just scrolling down, count how many pictures don't highlight one man front and center. https://www.ai.gov/ Then click "fact sheets", "remarks", and "articles". He's everywhere. That's how unbiased this is going to be. (hint, the answer is one)
