Pre-ACA my mother got cancer in a short window where the University my Dad was president of got wound down for financial reasons.

Destroyed my entire trajectory in life.

The prior system was mega fucked, our current system is still fucked.

If you had a congenital condition prior to the ACA you were a wage slave once you hit 18, no private insurance and couldn't get public. Literally founded a successful startup the minute I got ACA.

Over 40+ years I've seen nearly every profession go through a bubble and lean years, lawyers, mechanics, academics.

But never doctors, in retrospect I should have joined that protectionist racket, but my family couldn't afford to let me at the time.

I think, some of the issues here is that first nextcloud tries to be compatible with any managed / mutualized hosting.

They also treat every "module"/"apps" whatever you call it, as completely distinct spa without proving much of a sdk/framework. Which mean each app, add is own deps, manage is own build, etc...

Also don't forget that app can even be a part of a screen not the whole thing

PlantingSpace | Full-time | Remote (EU time zone) + Quarterly Meet-ups | https://planting.space

We’re building an AI system for analysts and scientists, based on a fundamentally new approach to reasoning and knowledge representation. Our approach differs from LLMs in that we compose algorithms symbolically to represent complex knowledge, and perform probabilistic computations. This enables the AI-driven application of statistical models to different problems, while providing the user with a verifiable reasoning path, and an assessment of the uncertainty in each answer. We are developing applications for analysis and research in domains such as Finance, Strategy Consulting, Engineering, Material Sciences, and more.

This is an opportunity for senior engineers and product managers to join us and help shape a deep-tech product from its earliest stage.

We're currently seeking talented individuals for the following openings:

* Program Synthesis Engineer

* Bayesian Software Engineer

* Senior Product Manager

Learn more, see role details, and apply via: https://planting.space/joinus/

Questions? We'd be happy to hear from you at: talent@planting.space

> The free market could do that without unions.

I suggest doing some reading about labor movements, the Gilded Age, or about current issues - wealth inequality, housing costs, environmental impact, healthcare costs, enshittification.

The free market has failed miserably across multiple dimensions - even Trump has the government owning companies now (Intel). The “free market” has been a failed idea for a long time.

> In tribes in the olden days, when a person got sick/too old, many tribes just left him to die, because they couldn't afford to feed him.

We have archeological evidence that contradicts this directly! What are you even talking about?

This isn’t a good way to structure a society, but your whole point about mixing morality with capitalism is perhaps the worst one.

If you can’t look at the damage to people (and the environment) under our current system and point out how it is broadly immoral, I would suggest taking a closer look at the very least.

I think this is worth considering for younger folks, but I wanna point out how low the numbers in the "medical expense" column are. They're similar (if low) for routine care but if you have an actual emergency you'd have much higher bills. IIRC when my mom had breast cancer she was getting a weekly shot to inhibit the HER2/neu mechanism of her cancer that had a list of $10,000 a shot. As an uninsured person you won't pay list but you are rolling the dice pretty hard. Insurance costs are highway robbery - and also the part of their prices that aren't driven by greed are driven by absurd underlying costs.

If I wanted to get all Cunk about it, I'd have made a passionate argument for "Doctorin' the Tardis" being the ultimate precursor to all American EDM given its role as the precursor to 'What Time Is Love?' - the acid-house chart-topper in 1989 that birthed Stadium-House and the sort of cacophonous Stadium House/Electronica you'd associate with a 16 bit Beat-Em-Up's Menu music.

It needs to be stressed often that having money does not mean you have the best genes, and all it means is that you, or someone before you, was lucky. The stupid thing with something like CRISPR is we don’t even know what combination of factors is useful, or maybe useful, for certain traits. Having a rough idea is not good enough, and putting someone else’s children up for this experimentation is ill-advised.

> 1. What would happen if instead of buying health insurance, you set aside annual premiums plus your deductible every year and paid out of pocket?

What would happen if healthcare was a shared pool for the often-unpredictable risk for everyone, so that everyone was taken care of?

This is obviously a government function in the interests of everyone, so there's no need for profit-taking insurance companies with perverse incentives.

rewriting in a lower-level language won't do too much for NC, because it's mostly slow due to inefficient IO organization - things like mountains of XHRs, inefficient fetching, db querying etc. - None of that will be implicitly fixed by a rewrite in any language and can be fixed in the PHP stack as well. I think one of the reasons that helped OC/NC get off the ground was precisely that the sysadmins running it can often do a little PHP, which is just enough to get it customized for the client. Raising the bar for contribution by using lower level languages might not be a desirable change of direction in that case.

It reads like the Time Cube... which wasn't un-funny until we learned more about the author.

As for the math itself, you can put anything amount of data you like into this 2-component vector, but nowhere is it claimed that you can get that data back out.

After vigorously shoveling your data onto the head of a pin, you can do any number of operations on that pin in time O(1). And as long as you don't ask for an answer, you'll be satisfied that your calculation was executed the utmost alacrity.

For once I'm almost curious what a LLM has to say about this bullshit.

Amusing tidbit from the copilot instructions:

> avoid words like "proper", "correct", "appropriate" and "valid" in your comments AND responses. these weasel words only create confusion in a lib challenging convention

Ya know what, they claim to be packing thousand-dimensional vectors into a pair of 64 bit floats. Great. The author should compress an entire set of LLM weights and then show us how their LLM performs with this O(1) magic.

When I was child, our dog got hit by a car. The dog had two broken legs and was bleeding from the nose. My dad said, "Come with me son, I will show you what to do." So we went into the woods behind the house and dug a hole. I put the dog in the hole and my dad shot the dog in the head. After we filled in the hole my dad said. "Now you know what to do with me when I get old."

So my health insurance is healthy living, CrossFit, rapamycin etc. When that fails, I have a 9mm pistol I keep in the safe. I do worry about if I am somehow too incapacitated to use the pistol but not enough to die naturally. Infirmity scares me a lot more then death does.

> short answer--maybe not that _hard_, but it adds a lot of complexity to manage when you're trying to offer real-time search. most vector DB solutions offer this ootb. This post is meant to just point out the tradeoffs with pgvector (that most posts seem to skip over)

Question is if that tradeoff is more or less complexity than maintaining a whole separate vector store.

Goblins | https://goblinsapp.com | Founding Engineer #3 | Williamsburg, New York | ONSITE | $100-200k (+ generous equity)

In education, we have always traded off scale and quality. In a 30-student math class, half of kids are ready to accelerate while half are still working on their foundational skills, but teachers cannot be in 30 places at once, giving each student one-on-one support.

Until now. Imagine 30 teachers in every classroom—that's how Goblins feels. Students draw math on any device, and our AI figures out the "why" behind their confusion, giving instant feedback and building conceptual foundations. (Try it out here! https://app.goblinsapp.com/onboard)

Goblins launched to school districts in the spring of 2025. Since then we've built a waitlist of thousands of teachers and sold Goblins to districts across the US (we'll hit 100k+ paid students this year!). We are in the unique position of having a product that is both highly differentiated and demanded :)

Technical problems that we find interesting:

→ Building knowledge graphs that adapt to student performance in real-time, routing them to the optimal next problem they should solve to maximize learning and engagement.

→ Extending our handwriting recognition from digital canvas to real paper through Chromebook cameras (think real-time OCR on math equations through low-quality webcams with poor lighting)

→ Creating interactive mathematical lessons (think 3blue1brown, but conversational) that remediate student misconceptions.

You'll be joining founding team members Sawyer (CEO, former Head of Design at X1 [acquired by Robinhood] and math teacher) and Alp (CTO, ex-Stripe and Amazon), plus two other exceptional founding engineers.

We move fast, care deeply about craft, and obsess over delighting users. If you're interested, email alp@goblinsapp.com :)

Honestly, I don't think anyone would defend the healthcare system itself in the US.

What they would defend is the premise of returning value to shareholders. And of course, that's what most for-profit healthcare and insurance companies are set up to do. The largest shareholders are typically retirement and pension funds.

That can be applied to almost anything, of course, but if you look at the "enshittification" of most markets in the United States, you'll notice that the process began in earnest around the time that the Baby Boomers began to retire. The Boomers, mathematically speaking, did not have enough children to sustain increasing returns on investments through market expansion. When you have fewer people to extract wealth from, you have to extract more from the average person in order to keep up the numbers, and that's ultimately what we see here and across many sectors of the US economy. You have a generation that was told they would have as good of a retirement as their parents' generation, while also being told that they didn't need to produce the human capital in order for that retirement to happen with the same margins as before.

The effect is a generation that gets their basic healthcare met by the taxpayer through Medicare, while getting their retirement checks paid for by their children being squeezed on everything from real estate to healthcare to transportation costs. It's the tyranny of the gerontocracy.

That seems... fine? That's $14,000 annually. For an income in the $75k-$100k range, Maryland health connection shows me a premium of $700/month for two parents/two kids. Judging by your premium and assuming 2 adults/2 kids, your income is probably over $200k. With that income in Canada, you'd be paying over $20,000 in taxes attributable to healthcare: https://www.fraserinstitute.org/sites/default/files/price-of....

Now you have to account for taxes you pay in the U.S. for medicare, and a risk-adjusted share of the deductible payments, but overall it doesn't seem that crazy.
by Brendinooo | 2025-11-03 16:36:49+00:00
Broadly speaking yes, though to be fair I should note that if your household size is a certain number and your income is a certain number, that can come down. They cap the amount you pay in premiums to a certain percent of your income.

> In other words, I'm being asked to buy a product, and the cheapest form of it is to basically pay almost $15k in a year to hedge against someone getting cancer or whatever, and actively incentivizes me to not use it[0]

You are not paying $15k to hedge against someone in your family getting cancer in a calendar year.

You are paying $15k to pay for old and sick people’s routine healthcare, due to the ACA’s requirement that the highest premium to be at most 3x the lowest premium, and the requirement that premiums be only a function of age and tobacco use (i.e. no underwriting for health risks by factoring in pre existing conditions).

So an ACA compliant health plan’s premiums are far more comparable to a tax than an insurance premium since they are explicitly a wealth transfer mechanism from young and healthy to old and sick.

New York state takes this wealth transfer even further and mandates that age not be used at all to price premiums. I think Massachusetts only allows an age rating factor of 2.

I don't use Google cloud but the seven step OIDC configuration process is the kind of thing that can be scripted quite easily in Azure, e.g. using the az CLI tool. When a step creates a new object the command can return its ID so you can save it in a variable and use it in a subsequent step.

If Google has something similar this seems preferable to the alternatives.

In my mind, their rightful place is transcription of written speech where the speaker pauses, and either inserts an island idea, or changes course. The comma doesn't suffice, because it's bridging an initial idea with expounding on the same idea. But so many times in written text I see it abused, lazily employed, because the author used a sentence fragment for effect, or wanted to amp up the pause and drama when a comma or, hell, even a semi-colon would have served the purpose better.

The advent of the generic AI writing style has had one good effect on my own work: making me take an unflinching look at my own laziness in writing. Now I tend to clean things up while at the same time try to inject some personality in order to NOT be dismissed as AI.

Since you worked on search at Google, I feel like you might be in high demand at one of the smaller search places. For example, there is a meta-search engine called Kagi which is looking for remote workers, and they mostly get results from Google and Bing but they also have their own small index which they are working on growing.

I feel like they might love to have you, it would be like they poached an employee from one of the “big guys”, but without as much effort.

Since you are interested in search engines and worked at Google, I’d like to get your thoughts on this article: https://archive.org/details/search-timeline

Good luck!

> Edit: Hey which of the models on that page were you referring to?

I was referring to the smaller ones -- `granite4:micro`, `granite4-latest`, `granite4:350m`.

> I'm grabbing one now that's apparently double digit GB?

You are probably downloading one of these two ids: `granite4:small-h` or `granite4:32b-a9b-h`.

The "small" model _is_ small in relative terms, but is also the largest of the currently released granite models! At 32B parameters (19GB download) it's runnable locally but not in the same "run on your laptop with acceptable performance" category of the nano/micro models.

> Also my "dev enviornment" is vi -- I come from infosec (so basically a glorified sysadmin) so I'm mostly making little bash and python scripts, so I'm learning a lot of new things about software engineering as I explore this space :-)

Shameless plug: if you're writing Python scripts to automate things using small locally hosted models, consider trying out https://github.com/generative-computing/mellea

Mellea tries to nudge toward good software engineering practices -- breaking down big tasks into smaller parts, checking outputs after nondeterministic steps, thinking in terms of data structures and invariants rather than flow charts, etc. We built it with "actual fully automated robust workflows" in mind. You can use it with big models or small models, but it really shines when used with small models.

I would say the opposite. Ente has one huge advantage and that it is e2ee so it's a must if you are hosting someone else photos. But if you are planning to run something on your server/NAS for yourself then Immich has many advantages (that often relate to the e2ee). For example... your files are still files on the disk so less worry about something unrecoverably breaking. And you can add external locations. With Ente it is just about backing up your phone photos. Immich works pretty well as camera photo organizer.
