We are trying to do pieces that you can "read" if you know how. E.g. the quantum computing circuit piece is an circuit to compute a non-local catalytic control-not-not gate (and we have lengthy science explanations on the site) -- soon to be in an article on arXiv!
So we would not just incorporate golden ratios. But if there is a nice way to represent a specific elliptic curve that would be nice. I would appreciate if you have specific pointers.
The combination of beautiful, true to the science, manufacturable, and wearable is hard to get right. And selling is even harder.
Having AI/digital overload, I purchased some hand planes and am flatting a hardwood slab (and dimensional) that I had milled from a tree felled in my yard in order to make some furniture.
In some parts of the US outdoor cats are an essential bulwark against rodent invasion. It is healthy for the cats and very effective organic rodent control. They do get some birds but the bulk of their activity is rodents. There are places you can’t live without them.
Depending on the situation, outdoor cats can also live a long time. We had farm cats when I was growing up that spent a large part of their time outdoors during the day. They were smart, social, and typically lived 15-20 years before old age caught up with them.
Predation mostly impacts cats that are either obviously stupid or aggressively anti-social in my experience.
Something the article doesn't really get into is that Congress and HHS/CMS are passing laws and promulgating regulations that make the practice of medicine so unprofitable that independent physician offices are becoming economically unviable; this process is encouraged by the hospital lobby who of course profit handsomely after purchasing these independent offices.

Other countries have double, even triple the number of physicians per capita. They also pay them a lot less. Are they all less competent? Are US filtering requirements actually all that predictive of future performance? Can we, say, see that MCAT scores really line up well with clinical performance? Because it's easy to be selective, but not so easy for the selectivity to be predictive of actual quality, especially when you are being selective before training starts.
Most countries get good results with shorter training and much lower salaries. And, just like most other US university degrees, the majority of the filtering is done on entrance, not on training. So it's not that we are evaluating the best doctor, but the best diligent people that get great scores in the MCAT. Whether that actually lines up well with being a good doctor is not all that clear.
Here’s an excerpt from a study of more than 1m physicians:
> “Better examination performance was linked to improved adherence to mammography screening recommendations, appropriate prescribing practices, improved care of patients with diabetes, lower patient morbidity and mortality, fewer complaints to regulatory bodies, and lower malpractice payments. The association was observed across examination formats and medical specialties.”
It's low because there's no competition. MDs are like medieval guild: once you're in, you're set for life. Restrictive regulations are lobbied by MD associations, which limit competition.
Ha ha, but the joke is kind of wrong. While anyone with an MD degree is entitled to the honorific "doctor" that doesn't mean they can legally practice medicine. Becoming a licensed physician generally requires completing a residency program, and the worst students sometimes fail to get matched to the limited number of residency slots.
Yes it's a joke, but to quote some numbers in the US: something like 93% of the US graduates matched to a residency program [1], although the numbers were a lot lower for international students applying for US residency. So if you're talking about US medical students, you have to be in the bottom 10% to flunk out.
The attrition for lawyers is higher, neither has anything on PhDs where the number of "practicing" doctors drops off constantly during and after the degree, and only really levels off when O(10%) of them land faculty jobs.
