There are plenty of places that can be afforded on a single income if you work in tech and can work remotely.

I did some Googling and it appears that there are some examples where people say combining multiple models or multiple runs of the same models leads to improvements: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00104... https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.11171

But presumably people are less likely to publish a paper when an approach doesn’t work.

In part:

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.

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.

> instead of going further down the same road we're already on

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.

- oatmeal + blueberries: moderate glucose spike

- oatmeal + blueberries + chia seeds: moderate glucose spike

- oatmeal + blueberries + ground flax seed: moderate glucose spike

- oatmeal + blueberries + protein powder: moderate glucose spike

- oatmeal + blueberries + protein powder + chia seeds: very minimal spike

In my case, it seems like carbs, proteins, and fats are all necessary to prevent a spike.

“”” 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.

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 seems like a good property that someone who uses something the most pays the most.

If something has positive externalities such as vaccines or education then I’m fine subsidizing or making it free, but traffic has negative externalities.

Also running tends to be more repetitive and pounding on the joints which requires more recovery time than simply vacuuming. I’ve never heard someone get injured vacuuming but I know dozens of people injured from running.

Though there are many reasons why you wouldn’t want to go in and delete a file since that won’t persist or be reproducible.

My friend used this set up for his emergency fund since he felt like it would be better to earn an investment return and take a loan in an emergency instead of sitting around having your money earn minimal amounts in a checking account.

If I was a user, I might be confused why the increment is not consistent across the whole range.
