@koaleszenz the head tax also incurs no deadweight loss. doesn't make it a good idea

@epimetheusthaII @koaleszenz All capital is monopolistic and benefits from vast varieties of unearned externalities

@ahardtospell You have to find a perfect Zen between starved and stuffed to go shopping, otherwise you’ll come back with the wrong amount

Smart people are too skeptical of AI and ML because the consultant class has hooked onto these terms to leech money from the credulous But never forget that we’ve solved computer vision and speech recognition in the last 5 years, and close to real time universal translation

Not to mention beaten Go, pro-level Starcraft, etc

@traditionrevolt we don’t really even understand what self awareness is, but neither did the evolutionary machine that built us. I feel we’ll probably stumble across it before we recognize it for what it is

@Teleonomic If I knew this I’d be working on it myself :)

@tiffani @miles_k @impcapital @nabeel What are those wrong reasons exactly? Do you have a monopoly on reasons to do good things? It’s more selfish to help your neighbor who’s struggling mildly vs the child half way across the world who’s struggling mightily. All human lives have value; not merely American ones

@tiffani @miles_k @impcapital @nabeel Thomas Hobbes said it best; humans help others for selfish reasons. It causes us pain to look upon someone struggling, and drives us to help. But to work on alleviating struggling that you can’t even see is exceptional

@CreativeChrisX I’m not a socialist. I’m trying to get you to question your assumptions

@tiffani @miles_k @impcapital @nabeel what is it that you think bang for your buck means? do you think they're profiting off of giving money to the right areas? do you hate efficiency? i'm truly confused. when you have limited resources and vast ocean of people suffering, you should spend it wisely.

@Teleonomic but I do think we are on the cusp of building production-level factory robots that can learn

@tiffani @miles_k @impcapital @nabeel well, for example we recently saw Marc Benioff give $30 million to end homelessness in SF and pat himself on the back ceaselessly for doing so. These funds probably won't even help house a 1000 people for 10 years

@tiffani @miles_k @impcapital @nabeel whereas e.g. the Gates Foundation has given away bed netting to prevent malaria in high-risk regions. They estimate that every $3000 spent on bed netting saves a human life. That's 10,000 human lives saved with Benioff's "generous" donation

@tiffani @miles_k @impcapital @nabeel I mean I appreciate your criticism if you're speaking from a utilitarian angle. I'm interested in the specific examples though

@tiffani @miles_k @impcapital @nabeel you're making a strangely capitalist argument regarding people selfishly choosing things that are of particular interest to them to donate. wasn't really expecting this. mostly agree with you though

@AOCummies Adam the First Simp requested that god make him an egirl

@jinyeom95 >99% on image net is pretty good!

@jinyeom95 Looks like sota is 98.7%, which is pretty close. But we literally have autonomous cars driving around so it’s hard to say vision hasn’t been “solved”. I’m sure there’s lots of improvements left to make but it’s a 0->1 jump from having no vision to having vision

@anomiseditrix Every day millions of people speak to their voice assistants and get pretty good results. This is just moving the goalposts tbh

@jinyeom95 By solved I don’t mean that there’s nothing left to do. I mean we can do these things at a level of reliability that they can be productized

Loling because there’s a bunch of academics agreeing with me and a bunch disagreeing. But my everyday experience doesn’t deceive : my phone scans my face to let me in and I can talk to it reliably

@hondanhon @jinyeom95 i mean you seem really angry at me when we just have a semantic disagreement on what solved means. it's clear there's been a step function change on the capabilities of CV in the last decade

@hondanhon btw I am an academic at the moment so ...

@hondanhon it doesn’t just work for me, it works for the billions of people using CV and speech recognition enabled products across the world

@hondanhon @jinyeom95 So if a technology is negatively effecting someone it isn’t solved lol? What kind of heuristic is that! We definitely solved nuclear weapons, but that didn’t make anyone in Hiroshima happy

@hondanhon @jinyeom95 Tech is a blunt weapon that you can use for evil or good or something in between. In the coming decade, the Chinese will use CV to create an authoritarian panopticon. They can do so because CV has matured. We will also use CV to save thousands of lives from driving accidents

@jinyeom95 @hondanhon I’m not sure what I’m conceding to. It seems we’re politically bickering over what “solved” means. I’m fully ovr that there’s conferences like CVPR and that CV is an active research area. But it’s matured to a point where we can do very cool things with it. This important to note

@jinyeom95 @hondanhon what's not true? that we aren't able to do interesting things with it?

@shelbyspees @hondanhon @jinyeom95 shelby, thanks for your response. I get where you're coming from, but I have to say that I feel there's probably no technological system that's 100% fallible, and thank god we have a stable regulatory system for testing dangerous things like autonomous driving

@shelbyspees @hondanhon @jinyeom95 i'd say online payments is solved and yet there's probably some reasonably amount of theft and data loss every year. my point being: CV is a tech that's rapidly maturing and everybody should be looking into what they can do with it.

@hondanhon @jinyeom95 the burden of proof will always be on the technologist to demonstrate that they're doing better than human level. no amount of my tweets will change that.

@hondanhon @jinyeom95 autonomous cars will not be legalized until the tech companies have proven that they're 10x safer than human drivers. all technologies will have an error rate. it's as simple as this: does it do better than a human? if so, it's irresponsible NOT to deploy it

@antimule I think often the hangups with self-driving systems are not the vision module but rather the driving logic systems. these tend to be brittle and unable to adapt to novel situations at the moment

@jinyeom95 @hondanhon this is the "black box" argument, but as I always repeat -- humans are black boxes too. How do we fix the fact that humans fall asleep at the wheel sometimes?

@hondanhon @jinyeom95 i mean, this wasn't really a utilitarian claim. I didn't say the good outweighs the bad or anything like that. more a statement of observations. you seem to be grafting arguments you've seen prior onto mine

@jinyeom95 @hondanhon ok, I have a question for you. What empirical testable thing would you need to see to be able to call computer vision "solved"? Is it nothing short of AGI?

@jinyeom95 @hondanhon I appreciate that there is ambiguity, but like I said, if we think like this then literally nothing is ever solved. when CV topples some big milestone, we will continually move the goalposts. which is why I am choosing my own subjective definition. feel free to disagree w me

@hondanhon @jinyeom95 I think my basic point is that underestimating the capabilities of these techs is as egregious as overestimating them. That's lots of human welfare left on the table.

@hondanhon @jinyeom95 on the day to day, I experience more AI pessimism than optimism, but I understand it can be grating if the opposite is true for you

@AOCummies stupid game they’re playing bc outbreaks should be exponential not linear 🤔

@CascadianSolo fair enough but it’s immensely stupid to “test” someone before their first date. I think what actually happened is that the text she sent was true and she made up a story for twitter to save face and get attention

Another indication CV is solved: as OpenAI and DeepMind grapple with real time games, their agents directly interface with API observations instead of reading the gamescreen: they know it can be done, so they’d rather save the compute time

@shelbyspees @jinyeom95 By productize I mean “deliver valuable outcomes to real people in search, social networks, medicine, consumer electronics, cars, etc etc etc”. This is all happening today. You seem to have interpreted my tweet for the slimiest possible version of “productized”

@shelbyspees @jinyeom95 And I thank the consultants for instilling that gut reaction in people. Cheers!

@wesleyytian tell that to e.g. Middle East factions fighting for power or China annexing SCS territories

@Noahpinion @eade_bengard @ShooterMacGyver and it's not about the aesthetic like you keep saying either. in a lot of ways the idea of a modular grid where individuals own their own solar panels is super appealing to libertarian types. on the flipside, giant nuclear installments are best run by the government

@ironically_edgy Yep

Bernie Sanders is a total loser. In 25 years in US senate he introduced 3 successful bills, 2 of which were to rename post offices. Before he was on taxpayer dime he was a general failson, never held an actual job, and so rose twitter sees a lot of themselves in him

a lot of the more reasonable bernie voters say "he seems like he cares though!" which in politics is about as useful as an anti vax mom who loves her kids a lot. it's a machiavellian death game, not a PBS show.

you can see the psychological landscape of the bernie voter from how much they hate bernie's exact foil, Mayor Pete. their perfect enemy is the young striver with no different upbringing than their own that's able to be successful while playing the game

every single complaint is the same - "he's not a fuckup". there are giant accounts who are genuinely saying mayor pete's politics will kill them despite his platform being no more passable than bernie's. they're both for free healthcare and free college

these people are at war with both exceptionalism and meritocracy because they were judged by those machines and were found lacking

@dickcheneyscou1 I agree that it’s impossible to be good at politics without being some sort of lightweight utilitarian psycho. Which is why sanders shouldn’t be president

@dickcheneyscou1 This says more about the Vermont electorate than about Bernie Sanders. He lives in a hard blue state and pursued hard blue idealism. There’s never been an ounce of ambiguity he’s had to deal with

@aquariusacquah you’re right that I’m doing the same thing that I’m criticizing. It’s because I’m mad. I’ll try not to. but I disagree that there’s any serious movement building a la Obama. It’s more like moving a handful of lefties moving further left. Justice Dems won like 8/72 districts

@Jebisabigfatmes The challenges are fine. It’s the next part where he accomplished nothing after years and years that’s more important

@NicholasElodeon UBI better. Say you lose your job right after tax season. You’re fucked. No govt paycheck for you because they’re basing it off of last years income. Better to give biweekly paychecks to everyone and take it back from those who don’t need it in taxes

@SmartArseUSA im deleting my account if any of my shit ever finds its way to brooklyn podcast twitter

@Taylor_Workman @NicholasElodeon the other argument is that universalist policies get mainstream buyin. there's no shame in receiving government paychecks if everyone is getting them

@dickcheneyscou1 AIPAC is a minor lobbying influence compared to other players. I used to think like this in 2016, which is why I voted Sanders, but the reality is that the dems do as good a job as possible balancing the interests their various constituencies.

@dickcheneyscou1 Jimmy Carter was a good man and a totally useless president. LBJ was by all accounts kind of a dick and managed to pass the most sweeping civil rights reform in generations. you need hardballing pragmatists in office, not feckless idealists

the political theater of Pelosi tearing up the trump speech is literally as old as democracy. its no different than Cato the Elder spilling a bunch of Carthaginian figs in the Roman Senate to convince them to go to war. if you're remarking that it's pointless, you don't get it

@Taylor_Workman @NicholasElodeon to be fair I think they would brutalize NIT just as badly despite whatever Milton Friedman said

@ironically_edgy anarcho capitalism more or less makes sense e.g. the society described in 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress'. the problem is that property rights are only protectable with violence, so protection rackets form. they join and grow bigger to seek higher rents. eventually, its a state.

Definitely not the chaos Krugman and others predicted at the time! https://money.cnn.com/2016/11/04/investing/donald-trump-stock-drop-citi/index.html

@jdcmedlock Looks like the hospital stocks had a major panic for fear of losing Obamacare patients and then recovered after realizing trump wasn’t touching it lol

@sonyasupposedly It’s pretty crazy how hard it is to solve this information problem even in the internet age. I wouldn’t have thought it possible to contain a secret this large

@CascadianSolo He’s joking

I hate the libs for killing Al Franken. He absolutely could've ran in 2020 and won. you need a new york entertainer to counter another new york entertainer

it's because you need to log off dude https://x.com/AntonioDramsci/status/1225786855653859328

chapos are highly cringe. what is it you think bernie will do for you? cure your existential ennui? save you from the ills of consumerism? give your life meaning? nobody can do those things for you. this is straight up quasi-religious cult-like fervor

the chapo guy here is going mask off and admitting to what liberals have been saying this whole time -- everyone is materially better off due to capitalism. then he goes on to try and fill the hole in his heart where some fulfilling spiritual activity should be with BERNIE

it's absolutely fucking everywhere. this is disgusting, and really no different than the Trump worship we saw in 2016. he's literally just a milquetoast social democrat. your depression won't be cured after he makes some incremental improvement on our healthcare system

@aquariusacquah some humor account RTd it onto my feed lol ... sad

@aquariusacquah my eternal torture is that most of the funniest accounts on this website are diehard bernie or busters

@Jan_Hus_1369 I think the internet has really stepped down our "crowd computing" on some level ... our judgement abilities are becoming worse

@Tyler_The_Wise this got thousand of RTs in chapo twitter

@aquariusacquah yeah agreed ... but i suppose you can't really separate his appeal to young twitter celebs and his appeal to young ppl in general. as far as pete goes, almost all of the heat has to be from big bernie accounts

@browserdotsys When all 18-bit color is gone, we’ll double the spectrum

@discoursewinner And I respect that. I used to think so as well

@jdcmedlock i don't know if this is true. my parents and their friends don't like him b/c he isn't a democrat. they're not exactly low info but not twitterbrain either

@_Jason_Dean_ take like 5 tabs, consult directly with the gods, and come back to us with an answer

@dickcheneyscou1 I really don’t think there’s anyone who’s in fits of ecstasy over Obama or Hillary

@dickcheneyscou1 i think pretty much anyone with a brain doesn't like what SA is doing in Yemen, even the ex Obama people. once you're in office you become a cynical realist. "the world as it is"

@dickcheneyscou1 there are some really good memoirs from ex Obama staffers that disabused me of the notion that FP would be easy if dems weren't bought out. Highly recommend "The World As It Is" or "The Education of an Idealist". They're genuinely good books by hopeful people

@ryxcommar @NeerajKA @ne0liberal rigging elections is what CIA neolibs know best

Bernie with some very milquetoast liberal takes tonight

It’s not typical of “38 year old grade grubber personality types” to make Hail Mary presidential runs

@eigenrobot Americans always do it better

@vgr ? Fashion and architecture are converging in all parts of the world.

Bernie has got typical old man energy. Ignores the question and goes off on his own shit

Tom Steyer spends 90% of his on stage time to shill for Bernie

@ne0liberal @ironically_edgy @NicholasElodeon @tranhoangcalvin Selling bathwater online is as neoliberal as it gets

My hottest take is that OPRAH should’ve run. We are well into the era of the celebrity presidency, might as well embrace it now

@aquariusacquah Yep. She’d win: you just need to know how to entertain

@JohnCarltonKing @Noahpinion we make the economics not work via regulation written by fossil fuel companies and overzealous liberals

@NeoLibBen Stop what you’re doing and watch Veep. and Succession for your “high neolib” aesthetics lol

@CascadianSolo @JohnCarltonKing @Noahpinion safer iterations of nuclear plant design come out every year and we make it impossible to test them. bill gates’ nuclear company had been waiting a decade for approvals

@Sharon_Kuruvila It’s a good question but I think it can be reasonably answered differently based on your moral axioms. e.g. If you’re religious shouldn’t you be teaching the aliens about Christ and saving their souls?

@ImNotOwned @jdcmedlock not until the trump election. now they’re hardcore democrats (immigrant community)

@Sharon_Kuruvila Sounds to me like Rahner's just punting the question though. If you analyze a planet's culture and find they have no Jesus analogue then you've got work to do as a Christian.

@Sharon_Kuruvila highly recommend this analysis of The Culture, a scifi civ that takes the exact opposite stance of the Prime Directive & is essentially a highly interventionist secular liberal galactic order https://www.sciphijournal.org/index.php/2017/11/12/why-the-culture-wins-an-appreciation-of-iain-m-banks/

@GerEEEEldo @Sharon_Kuruvila I’ve got no dog in this fight as an atheist but is there a difference between *will not* be saved and *can not*

@GerEEEEldo @Sharon_Kuruvila i mean they're not in any categorically different scenario than indigenous people on earth right? christian missionaries take it upon themselves to convert. in the future you'd send missionary droids to exoplanets :P

@GerEEEEldo @Sharon_Kuruvila Not sure it matters under the christian mythos if they have a soul right?

@NicholasElodeon @thee_snek this is a follow up good tweet. You’re learning

@jdcmedlock hate his chapo cultists, but I respect bernie. it's more that a nominee signals something about the direction of the party, and it's a direction I'm not a fan of

@NicholasElodeon I think I’m gonna log off and come back for NH lol

@nwilliams030 how tf

@agraybee @AdotSad and they do

anybody that claims billionaires are acting in concert to screw everyone else is an idiot and their judgement isn't to be trusted. there's hundreds of them and they're all incessantly trying their damndest to destroy each other.

@antirobust i think if you pick something that basic they're also aligned with most of the people in the country. it's not really an interesting axis

@antirobust even stuff like "wealth taxes on billionaires" you can find a handful of billionaires to support such a proposal

@antirobust hmm i'm not sure what you mean. I think prices are *even more* important in SHTF scenarios. good example is when uber turned on surge pricing in a disaster zone and media got mad. without the surge, markets wouldn't have cleared and there wouldn't be enough drivers

@DaanVanDenHam2 The Information Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

@TankieSanders significant amount. there's a few people i regret pissing off, enough to make me consider making a new account

@THOTCrime lmfao it had to be said. you're braver than the troops

@THOTCrime tbh shes above average but standing next to Matt the contrast makes her basically a model

@Noahpinion keeps confidently tweeting that nuclear is dead and infeasible but he's just straight up wrong. Bill Gates wouldn't be pouring billions into Gen IV nuclear fission reactors if it wasn't a good investment.

@ryxcommar The market thinks there’s exactly 0% chance a dem will win

@ansells_cow @CascadianSolo I guess you’re right, I clicked the third one but didn’t read too closely

@jmeqvist @dickcheneyscou1 i was barely conscious then so i'll take your word for it

i know the twitter monetization is bad because in my years and years spent on this app i have never once clicked on an ad

whereas i've not only clicked on IG/FB ads but actually bought stuff from doing so

in practice the truth rarely matters. what matters is that your beliefs are self-replicating. this is why liberalism always wins https://www.sciphijournal.org/index.php/2017/11/12/why-the-culture-wins-an-appreciation-of-iain-m-banks/

@Noahpinion this is basically the psychology of all leftist movements

@ryxcommar The left won’t see it that way. If you ask trump supporters whether or not their guy has been a good president, they’ll wholeheartedly say yes regardless of lack of Wall, lack of repealing Obamacare, etc. You can’t fight a cult of personality in a rational way.

@ryxcommar Hate the Sanders campaign for turning even nice account like Lauren’s into total assholes (or maybe showing their true colors?)

@LiberHomo1 @Robyn9124 I know but in popular language everyone says defcon 5 anyway

@ryxcommar “We have no confidence in your ability to identify macro political trends!”

reminder that pretty much the whole electorate likes it when you're "tough on crime"

@broque_monsieur @ryxcommar @olivia8k the idea that california is under the control of neolibs is laughable. the dominant ideology of the Golden state is 'homeownership'

@broque_monsieur @ryxcommar @olivia8k it's a simple standard to see whether market liberals are in power: market liberals like cities, don't like zoning. so why are all the cities of california hot garbage?

@woolie putting it in bio is far more reasonable than making your screen name 'woolie PhD' or something

@abhiprofen it's a classic case of 'deficit virtue signalling' that everyone does before when they're campaigning and immediately forget about when they come into office.

reminder that they call him rat to make fun of his physical appearance e.g. weak chin they'd absolutely be calling him worse if it was 20 years ago

@eigenrobot akshually the NPV of all future cash flows are priced into the domain,

@sameoldstory definitely - their pitch is to trade in the worst band of assholes in American politics for the second worst

@FrancoLMij it wasn’t apparent to me at first, so i tweeted it

@FrancoLMij making fun of a gay man's appearance on the grounds that it's not masculine enough seems pretty egregious

@garlic_las @FrancoLMij strong chin usually seen as masculine

@Occidentaljihad so much classier in bio

@ironically_edgy I am roon, patron saint of a great night

@NicholasElodeon @ironically_edgy F

@jdcmedlock Yes he absolutely should’ve. I think deep down he’s not a social democrat, that’s just the furthest left he can go and be palatable

@garlic_las @FrancoLMij He has no chance of beating trump, I think his cult is full of assholes, and generally don’t like where he’s pulling the party

@jdcmedlock You won’t get me this way, I’m a fan of unions 🙂

@accountable_gov lol this is an idiotic argument in favor of *mandatory* national service. it’s illiberal af

@Thingthingerson @accountable_gov universal expectation is just filler language to make it mandatory

@Thingthingerson @accountable_gov if that's the case then i'm fine with it

I wonder what the highly religious think about neural nets & machine intelligence in general

@alexmschatz So do they not deserve the same rights?

@alexmschatz that’s all fine and good but is it ok to rape or murder a sufficiently powerful machine intelligence?

@lastplace1414 but I wonder if they’re under represented in machine learning

@T_Walt615 I feel we’re on the razors edge of having a Butlerian Jihad soon

@neolibgraham lmao

@logangraham @benekcj “Lead Clergy AI Expert” I love that our society has developed enough production capacity to maintain esoteric job titles like this

always surprised by super high follower accounts that have zero engagement. there’s way more bots than it appears at first glance

@lastplace1414 I think every AI/ML practitioner regardless of what they work on get interested in the field due to the promise of AGI. If you think the true nature of intelligence is ethereal/metaphysical I can see this concept holding less interest

capital and labor’s interests are generally the same. It’s this understanding that makes liberalism tick https://t.co/JzfyqyWq4n

@MaxNighswander @alexmschatz Seems like a risky God of the Gaps type argument. If we invent a thinking machine does that disprove their faith? Would they just consider it not thinking?

@hamandcheese The Information Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

@neolibureaucrat A viscerally unconvincing argument, like solipsism

@MaxNighswander @alexmschatz what about the catholic argument saying life begins at conception!

@MenshevikM he’s not even respected in linguistics let’s be honest

@MenshevikM universal grammar is good pop science but has completely failed to make any real world prediction

@jdcmedlock @TrueMelarki incredibly powerful

@dickcheneyscou1 @MenshevikM Freud is the father of modern psychology, and it turns out most of his ideas are just coke addled rants

@DIorioNathaniel hope she notices this bro

@dickcheneyscou1 @MenshevikM no one can deny that but his most important ideas haven’t held up over time. universal grammar was soundly disproven

any criticism about candidates being too young or inexperienced always strikes me as a very out of date framing. in the private sector, children rule whole empires from their college dorms

@KyleRic09273577 @AOCummies that’s where you’re wrong kiddo. All our institutions are sleeping at the wheel. We’re like sheep to the slaughter

matt yglesias really did bend the knee whatever else you want to think about him lol

@Yozarian22 he bent the knee months ago because he saw what was coming

absolutely clear from the predictit comments who these markets are cheering for and which way you should bet to profit on their bias

@aquariusacquah lol true but i don't really believe that they believe that shit

@jdcmedlock true, which is why you should follow this logic to the natural conclusion and just give cash :)

@jdcmedlock in seriousness though, is this really controversial? don't conservatives agree? e.g. milton friedman supported UBI over targeted welfare

@jdcmedlock I’ve downloaded the lesson of your header photo and priced it into my models

@JohnCarltonKing @CascadianSolo I frankly don’t give a shit about Pete and I’m here to say this is just lame boilerplate balance the budget rhetoric to attract voters who think of themselves as responsible and will likely result in no actionable results

@JohnCarltonKing @CascadianSolo Since his main opponent is a progressive it makes perfect sense to try and differentiate himsel. In the general he can blame Republicans

@ironically_edgy @NicholasElodeon @dncshill69 yuor brain on pure utilitarianism

@ironically_edgy @NicholasElodeon @dncshill69 here’s an idea: the policy of individuals saving their own children engenders social cohesion and thus creates more utility than If everyone sold their child to the highest bidder

@danfarina @jdcmedlock this argument doesn't make sense to me. you're telling me you can kind find the political capital to pass M4A but not enough to break the licensing and hospital cartels?

@THOTCrime @jdcmedlock how much would it be?

@jdcmedlock @THOTCrime folks buy private insurance plans with their cash handout, so you'll end up doing all payor rate setting or some other price control scheme (patent prize). you can also take off many regulatory handcuffs if you can guarantee that people are able to afford basic plans

@danfarina @jdcmedlock there's a whole body of evidence surrounding occupational licensing reform in healthcare if that's what you're asking https://www.brookings.edu/opinions/improving-health-care-through-occupational-licensing-reform/

@danfarina @jdcmedlock even under a nationalized health insurance system you would want to reform the provider side, unless you want to deal with service shortages.

@danfarina @jdcmedlock you probably already know this, but the number of medical residencies offered per year in the United States hasn't changed in decades since AMA has a legal monopoly over granting residency spots. we can change this with the stroke of a pen.

@danfarina @jdcmedlock first of all I'll say this is a loaded question as no rich country really resembles us. you can't take results from e.g. Sweden and imagine they'll be replicated in the US. second, any example of breaking cartels in any industry applies as a a point of evidence

@danfarina @jdcmedlock in the EU, you can transfer a medical residency from any country to another. The Swiss system most closely resembles free markets and their provider costs are much lower than ours I believe without rate setting

@jdcmedlock @THOTCrime yeah I agree that UCC is better, was just trying to reason about what a system with just UBI would look like

@jdcmedlock @THOTCrime btw do you prefer UCC to the obamacare markets? I understand much depends on the specific policy parameters but if we're looking purely at an equivalent amount of budgetary spending

@ironically_edgy i mean yeah it makes perfect sense if you want to go back to the living conditions of the hunter gatherers

@NicholasElodeon RIP i forgot i have institutional access. ok give me a sec

this paper radicalized me on pharma https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6534750/

@danfarina @jdcmedlock the credible spot to insert market dynamism is the provider side? patent and licensing reform. there's no debate that this would reduce costs; just a question of how much. https://blogs.wsj.com/experts/2014/09/18/millennials-may-feel-the-pain-of-a-u-s-doctor-shortage/

@danfarina @jdcmedlock "The United States has 50 percent fewer practicing physicians per capita than Sweden or Germany." if US doctors are paid twice as much and there's half of them per capita than in similar countries you can imagine how much provider costs can be reduced just with licensing reform

@danfarina @jdcmedlock And I love that I can say this now: famed Bernie supporter Matt Yglesias agrees ;) https://www.vox.com/2014/6/9/5788630/4-radical-ideas-for-promoting-more-affordable-health-care

@danfarina @jdcmedlock Not sure how this comparison holds up. Operating systems aren’t fungible but doctors mostly are. We are facing shortages in all specialties

@danfarina @jdcmedlock patients don’t pay doctors directly; hospitals or practices do. Those providers demand lower prices with a higher supply of doctors. A level above that insurers shop around for in network and out of network practices. While it’s crude, it does introduce market dynamics

@danfarina @jdcmedlock the flu shot example is not really salient as it’s uncommon that a procedure covered by insurance has an over the counter alternative

I am mere days away from bending the knee

@ironically_edgy @NicholasElodeon @dncshill69 interesting. I’m still deciding whether this is based or cringe

@JohnCarltonKing @CascadianSolo i don't think you've given a good reason why other than "he's too inexperienced", which I absolutely do not care about. it takes a different mindset to solve problems than the one that created them

this but unironically

For Bernie to win New Hampshire in a near tie when it’s basically Vermont part 2 is an abysmal showing. I’m taking this as a W for Pete.
