An essay on how oversimplification and misinterpretation of statistics and risk, and general statistical illiteracy, leads to emotional narratives and misdirected healthcare policy:

The Mathematics of Medical Panic: How Misused Statistics Distort Healthcare Policy

Healthcare policy is increasingly justified through the language of numbers, yet numerical precision does not guarantee sound reasoning. Some of the most damaging public health controversies, from opioid prescribing restrictions to vaccine skepticism, demonstrate how statistical misunderstandings can distort risk, fuel panic, and transform flawed interpretations into harmful policy.

One thing to try before your next presentation. Write your core idea on a sticky note in under ten words. If it doesn't fit, you're not focused yet. Fix that before you open your mouth.

Следим за релизами Codex: последние обновления

Если вы работаете с Codex, то наверняка замечали следующее - нажимаешь кнопку “Обновить”, Codex перезапускается, но визуально ничего не меняется. На самом деле изменения есть - просто чаще всего это не что-то глобальное, а внутреннее: скорость, MCP-инструменты, работа с Git и т.д. Я посмотрел свежие релизы Codex за последние сутки: 0.142.2 , 0.142.1 и несколько 0.143.0-alpha.* . В статье разберём, что уже вышло в свет, а что пока тестируется и возможно выйдет в ближайших обновлениях.

Cuando pensamos en geografía solemos pensar en mapas.

Un grafo geográfico permite también razonar.

Por ejemplo:

Si un hospital está situado en un municipio

y el municipio pertenece a una provincia

y además y recuperamos la población de dicha provincia

entonces podemos inferir automáticamente que el hospital está en esa provincia, e inferir la media de hospitales por cada 100.000 habitantes

A couple of things that help: run a pre-mortem, which means you ask yourself before committing What could go wrong here? and take the answers seriously. Also, assign someone the role of devil's advocate in every big decision meeting. Let them challenge the thinking openly instead of doing it after everyone's already on board. #DecisionMaking #CriticalThinking #Reasoning #Influence #Communication #Leadership #Strategy #CognitiveBias #Mindset #Analysis (5/5)

When should a reasoning model quit a problem it probably can't solve? Conformal Thinking sets stop/continue thresholds for test-time compute by distribution-free risk control, holding the error rate under a target you pick. It adds a lower threshold that gives up early when confidence isn't climbing fast enough, saving tokens on likely-unsolvable problems.

Conformal Thinking: Risk Control for Reasoning on a Compute Budget – synesis

A risk-control framework sets reasoning stopping thresholds with finite-sample guarantees, adding a lower threshold that gives up early on likely-unsolvable problems.

A couple of practical tips:

Build a personal decision matrix for situations that come up regularly. This makes your judgment faster and more automatic over time. Delegate reversible decisions to your team. That frees up your bandwidth for the calls that truly need your accuracy.
