The truth is that Us health insurance industry has proven it is not about providing healthcare but instead capital extraction. The whole thing is seen as rotten by every participant.

What has happened is that it’s now more affordable to get healthcare in foreign countries as an American. I can vacation and get whatever care I need by doctors in countries with healthcare systems. Doctors that are incentivized to provide healthcare. In economies where people are proud to have a job.

There are some good doctors in the Usa but they are incentivized to charge as much as possible and put patients into studies or experimental drugs to get kickbacks. It costs me $50 to get my results from my doctor. They refuse to send an email and a phone call means it’s a “telehealth” appointment. Which is not a medical or technical health term but the name of the product category.

Usa does __not__ have a healthcare system but instead a capital extraction health-insurance system that rarely helps with your health costs.

I wish this topic was better understood and was in the spotlight during Biden’s term as Potus. But we made extra sure to snub Bernie when Biden ran the first time. No surprise for me if nothing changes. Seems to only be a major topic during the years when affordability is an issue. So when affordability isn’t an issue we’re just A-Ok as Americans with the grifting health-insurance industry.

Nah this is a repeat of Google's early days. They built storage at such a scale that it was hard for anyone else to compete in anything that required storage like email.

OpenAI is doing the same with compute. They're going to have more compute than everyone else combined. It will give them the scale and warchest to drive everyone else out. Every AI company is going to end up being a wrapper around them. And OpenAI will slowly take that value too either via acquisition or cloning successful products.

There could be errors happening outside their control. Planes are sometimes rerouted to different countries for different reasons, but mainly weather-related. I've heard stories of travel agencies f**ing up travel planes because of wrong data, and people suing them because of unexcepted stops. Or the good old "they planned for Australia, but ended in Austria"-story. Happens far too often.. There are many targets where people confuse a city or country with a different target.

Of course. CaMel was a breakthrough and especially promising as similar execution architectures were discovered from the reliability angle too (eg. cloudflare code-mode)

I would consider the runtime and capabilities part of CaMel an implementation exploration on top of the trifecta + taint tracking as general reasoning abstraction.

My hope was that there would be an evolution of the the more general reasoning abstraction that would either simplify or empower implementation architectures, but instead I do not see how metas rule of two adds much here over what we already had in April. Would have loved for you to add one sentence why you thought this was a step forward over taint tracking, maybe i am just missing something.

Demonstrates how important it is to match the scenes with the rendering techniques. You can easily create a corridor with a light at one end that requires lots of bounces for the light to get to the end. But in a game you can just decide to not create that kind of scene. Cyberpunk 2077 basically has no rooms without direct light in them, which makes the game look good even without ray tracing.

It is worth it imo but it could be better. This is my back of napkin mental model but I have convinced myself that most of our troubles are because health insurance morphed from truly emergencies to every day care. Routine care (both primary and specialist) have to hire deep staff to handle insurance claims with the different payers. It’s a constant game.

For myself I always pick the high deductible plan. It’s the next best thing to an emergency only plan in my opinion. I am also lucky that I have an employer that picks this kind of plan as an option. Everyone should be on this type of plan imo. I think have a direct primary care (directs don’t take any insurance) for the family that costs $200 a month for 3 of us. The insurance cost is $100 with a max out of pocket I think around $8000. Now we are lucky in that these dollar figures don’t bother us, not true for everyone but I do think most of us would be better off if we have better forms of true emergency insurance. I want to pool the risk of a catastrophic illness or accident, not my doctors visit for a cough.

I pay my dpc directly for all testing and it’s cheap. A lot cheaper than if it was billed via insurance.
Show HN: Complete Claude Code Resource with 3-Minute Setup
by johnmckinley | 2025-11-03 16:18:54+00:00
After 85 hours of work, I'm releasing a comprehensive Claude Code guide with automated setup.

What's different: It's honest about failures, real costs ($300-400/mo per dev), and realistic gains (20-30%, not 50%). Includes a "jumpstart" script that asks 7 questions and generates personalized setup in 3 minutes.

Includes 10,000+ lines of docs, production-ready agents (test, security, review), and templates. Not affiliated with Anthropic - just a developer sharing what works.

Feedback welcome!

> But HATEOAS really isn’t about storing state in URLs.

I think saying they are unrelated isn't correct either. In order for hypermedia to be the engine of application state, the continuations of your application must be reified as URLs, ie. they must be stateful. This state could be stored server-side or in the URL, it doesn't matter, as URLs are only meaningful to the server that generated and interprets them.

Well to start with, acid house had a different lineage as you acknowledge and was the predominant genre throughout the UK Rave Scene up to the Hacienda (ignoring the regional Happy Hardcore and chart-breakers like Ebenezer Good).

Baby Ford's - "Oochy Koochy (FU Baby Yeah Yeah)": Widely regarded as the first British acid house track, was released in 1988. "Voodoo Ray", the de facto anthem of the period by A Guy Called Gerald, was released in 1989. 'Pacific State' by 808 State - the infamous closing track at the Hacienda at the height of the period - was released in 1989.

The reason I bring up 'Pump up the Jam' is that it was the earliest contemporaneous electronic music from any of the Belgian scenes to break the UK charts - doing so in November 1989.

Comparatively the first hardcore techno track of any description released was in 1990. T99's Anaesthesia was probably the entry point for Belgian Hardcore into the UK when it charted in the middle of 1991.

Q.E.D. It's hard to inspire a scene when you come after it chronologically.

Energy Flash by Simon Reynolds is worth a read as cited; that Wiki entry has a serious whiff of Ishkur's Guide to it in comparison.

I mean you can basically attribute the Belgian Techno scene to the American Joey Beltram (who released Mentasm as second Phase) and the Alpha Juno-2 B86 preset if you want to get that reductive. Similar bit of sophistry in grouping in The Prodigy and Goldie due to the journalist usage of "hardcore" and "darkcore" - at best you might describe Experience as broadly "breakbeat hardcore".

Also "jungle (which alternatively lost the techno style keyboard stabs and piano breaks” - are we completely ignoring Metalheadz as a label? Lemon D/Dilinja in particular who bridged the breakbeat/jungle divide, stabs and piano breaks intact.

I think what this misses is that insurers handle the hassle of dealing with negotiated rates.

As an example, if you go to the ER and get a strep test, you might be billed $500, and insurance will pay $7 (as ridiculous as this sounds). If you go at this on your own, they'll probably bill you $100 and tell you they are giving you an 80% discount. With lots of phone calls, you can maybe get them down to $50.

This is all obviously crazy. But it makes it such that you really do want insurance if you can afford it. More so, even if you are a billionaire and can afford to self insure, it still makes sense to have health insurance (whereas property or life insurance probably don't make sense for you).

Also, don't forget that insurance premiums are often tax deductible for wealthy people, so the actual amount paid is less.

I do love Math Academy (I signed up 9 months ago in the hopes of replacing my NYT Crossword habit with something more productive, and 9 months later I'm gearing up for multivariable calc, which is neat given that except for linear algebra, which I self-studied out of necessity for cryptography work, all my math education stopped in sophomore year of high school).

It has a very different purpose than a post like this though! Also: there's probably more effort at exposition in this blog post than in all of Math Academy's coverage (that's not a dunk on Math Academy).

There is a lot of induced demand in software engineering. We are still in the realm where cheaper software means that people want more and more complex software. And that demand increase is more than enough to offset any efficiency increases

Meanwhile the amount of accounting that has to be done is pretty inelastic. Whenever accounting gets more efficient you just reduce the number of accountants instead of doing more accounting

Creative is somewhere in between. Not completely static demand, but not extremely elastic either. The healthy rise in postings for creative directors indicates that the cost reduction has lead to more art being done, but the increase in demand isn't big enough to offset the job losses in the rank and file positions

Sure but i doubt there is more image data in the delivered nextcloud data compared to doom2, games famously need textures where a website usually needs mostly vector and css based graphics.

Actually Carmack did squeeze every possible ounce of performance out of DOOM, however that does not always mean he was optimizing for size. If you want to see a project optimized for size you might check out ".kkrieger" from ".theprodukkt" which accomplishes a 3d shooter in 97,280bytes.

You know how many characters 20MB of UTF-8 text is right? If we are talking about javascript it's probably mostly ascii so quite close to 20 million characters. If we take a wild estimate of 80 characters per line that would be 250000 lines of code.

I personally think 20MB is outrageous for any website, webapp or similar. Especially if you want to offer a product to a wide range of devices on a lot of different networks. Reloading a huge chunk of that on every page load feels like bad design.

Developers usually take for granted the modern convenience of a good network connection, imagine using this on a slow connection it would be horrid. Even in the western "first world" countries there are still quite some people connecting with outdated hardware or slow connections, we often forget them.

If you are making any sort of webapp you ideally have to think about every byte you send to your customer.

I just looked at the local marketplace plans. The absolute dirt-cheapest I could do for my family is ~$1,225/month premium with a deductible of $13,400 and out-of-pocket max of $21,200. Most of the structure is some form of "zero help until the deductible, then I pay 20%-40% of everything up until the OOP max".

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].

There is no meaningful shopping around, there is no incentive for me to do anything other than continue not smoking, there's no accounting for where I live or my health.

I dunno what the solution is. I'm just glad that the ACA included health sharing co-ops as an exception. Been doing that for awhile now and have saved a lot of money. (And they'll give me a discount if I get my weight down a little more!)

[0]: Because even if you get a free wellness visit or whatever, it's really easy for them to drop in some random test that ends up getting billed. Had this happen with my kids a few times if memory serves.

There's https://labs.google.com/pomelli/about/ which is pretty much exactly what you describe. It does do prompt in, image out but also accepts your brand from a URL, and then allows for remixing and tweaking after the fact.

It's not all the way there as far as I can tell, as it'd be great to upload a proper set of brand guidelines and tone of voice, and maybe some user personas. Also the inpainting in the additional steps seems limited. And the output is limited to certain dimensions it seems.

Other tools exist within suites like Jasper.ai for marketers.

After that there may be some 'roll your own' options via N8N or other Ai workflow tools, letting you plug services in, tweak system prompts and add manual checking and tweaking/approvals via Slack/Teams etc. I've seen full automated/human-checked workflows for blogs, image editing shouldn't be dissimilar.

> That's because a) some batteries suffer degraded performance at low temperature, and b) ICE cars use the plentiful waste heat for cabin heating whereas an EV needs a heat pump or even resistive heating of the cabin air.

You are making my point here actually. Combustion engines suffer from the exact same, but because they waste so much energy as heat already, less “extra” energy needs to be spent on that.

Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft were a product of very good timing, but I think we should not undersell how high the barrier to entry for Amazon and Microsoft were in the 90s and 70s specifically.

Amazon basically started at the dawn of the internet, and I actually remember using it in 1997 as a fifth grader. It was incredibly well developed for that very early time period compared to just about everything else.

Microsoft's first product was a BASIC interpreter written on a PDP mini-computer in assembly, and was written so quickly, Paul Allen wrote an entire emulator in assembly for the actual chip they were trying to run their software on. The bootloader for the tape loaded program had to be entered in binary onto the machine they were trying to run the software on. There were about a dozen people in position to create this sort of software in the world at the time and only two who could do it in a 6 week timeframe.

Bill Gates and a lot of these other billionaires are in totally different leagues when it comes to origin story.

Did you get them working with diff syntax? I couldn't figure it out, so I just tried a bunch of agentic programs, found a few that actually worked, and it turned out they all use search/replace strings. There's probably other ways to do it but it seems basically everyone settled on that.

I've been trying that with smaller models and had to make some adjustments (e.g. they all really wanted to include the filename twice). So I just make a small tweak and bam suddenly I can edit code with small fast cheap models.

I'm on the other side. A high deductible plan for me means I'm guaranteed to have to pay that amount, due to medication and visits.

If I take the low deductible plan with the higher Max OOP I am actually spending less on a yearly basis because the insurance kicks in immediately.

Of course, when something catastropic happens, like cancer, yea, the high-deductible plan would've been better, but that (knocks on wood) doesn't happen every year.

Slop doesn't suggest the difference is only in quality, but also in form. Words have meanings, ya know?

I can have an LLM generate me code-like text all day long, but that doesn't means it's building a system. Just like I can eat Chicken McNuggets all day long, but that doesn't mean I'm eating a roast chicken.
