they might not have been eating eggs and bacon but the peasants were throwing back a liter of table beer and some bread first thing in the morning

seems hard to compare modern diets to that

breakfast was definitely something that existed in terms of "let me scarf down something quick and easy to prepare that'll get me through to lunch", and arguably should continue to be practiced

it's the more modern conception of breakfast as an entire full meal that's a bit more dubious in its utility and more nefarious in its consumerist origins

250 million roses are produced every year for Valentine's Day. But where are they all coming from? Although roses were once homegrown here in the US, they now primarily come from two countries-- Colombia and Ecuador. The flowers are transported on hundreds of flights that travel through Miami. One airline says they've transported over 460 million flowers from South America since just last month. Aside from the classic rose, the most popular flowers this season include pompons, hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, carnations, and gypsophilas. Hey, the more you know.

I think saving up 100% of the price of a home to pay in cash isn't really a realistic goal to begin with I was just more addressing the general idea that I think people do underestimate how much money you can save over time. The original post I was responding to was basically "10k ain't poo poo" but you can legit only put 7k in your IRA in 2024 (and assuming you can afford it) you absolutely should because it will translate to a reasonable chunk of savings over the course of your career.

Your post kind of says that $10k ain't poo poo, though. $660k over 30 years is... not great, especially compared to just the $300k you'd have with zero interest. Those gains are nice enough if you have absolutely no other use for that money and its immediate utility for you is pretty close to zero, but the implication otherwise is that scrimping and saving won't get you much value if that's the most you can manage.

That's the whole reason a ton of people in this thread poo poo on the idea of small costs adding up. If you can actually blow $30 on literal garbage every day then you're probably doing fine anyway, and you can decide for yourself whether you want more cocktails or a little extra money in your retirement account. For everyone else, the question is more along the lines of making major sacrifices for an extremely unreliable chance of still not having enough money for security in retirement.

People often use thirty years for these examples without engaging with the idea that thirty years is the entirety of your prime earning time and nearly all of your adult working life. If all you have to show for that is $600k-1.5m and you have to give up everything along the way to make that happen then, yeah, that's really bad. And that $10k/year is still going to be out of reach for many, if not most, people.

Yeah 1.5 million sounds like a lot but it's not enough to retire on, and that's before you consider the cost of living will only ever increase.

That MRI idea is so braindead stupid that I had to look her up to see if she had any health science experience at all (and she does). False positives are a potentially addressable issue by new tech but the problem isn't underutilization of medical imaging, it's that MRIs are fuckoff huge magnets cooled by liquid helium that are used for a thousand different imaging purposes in any given facility. There's no conceivable way to scale up cancer imaging by even 5x let alone 100x if your starting point is "give them an MRI"

It's absolutely someone that only knows cancer is bad and you get mri for cancer so obviously everyone get mri.

People said this poo poo with CT and it doesn't work. People said this with PET and it doesn't work. MRI is far more complicated than PET or CT. This is honestly one of those things so stupid and out of touch I don't even know where to begin. Bonus points for the meaningless throw in of AI (this poo poo has also been paraded for decades and the fact that I still haven't heard anything about a commercial product tells me everything I need to know about AI taking over radiology reads)

USING MACHINE LEARNING TO SIMULATE THE PHYSICAL WORLD
- Diana Hu and Jared Friedman

Many essential software tools work by simulating the world using known principles of physics and chemistry. Weather prediction, computational fluid dynamics for designing rockets and airplanes, and tools for drug discovery that predict the interactions of molecules — today many of these are based on running a full physics simulation of the world. These are very computationally heavy since they are solving complex multivariate mathematical equations.

It turns out that AI models are general functional approximators that can also solve and predict problems like these without needing to explicitly know about physics. This results in predictions that are much less computationally expensive and can be completed in minutes or seconds on much smaller computers rather than taking days/weeks and super computers.

We're interested in companies replacing existing simulations with ML-based ones, along with companies using ML-based simulations to open new markets currently unaddressable.

disruptive startup idea: we summon a demon that tells us whether a bridge is sufficiently strong or not but at a tenth the cost of an engineer with a design program
