How does this compare to the already established open source solutions such as Chatbox (https://github.com/chatboxai/chatbox), or Lobechat (https://github.com/lobehub/lobe-chat)?

Been using both, like Chatbox for how snappy it is, but is local only, vs Lobechat which allows you to setup centralized host to have shared host across clients but feels a bit clunkier.

You can always make the argument that insurance, no matter what it covers, isn't worth it. You're paying for coverage in the case something goes wrong. If it doesn't go wrong, you don't get your money back. The one exception to this is Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance, better known as Social Security. For some reason, we feel the need to mail checks to, statistically speaking, the wealthiest age demographic in the country whether they need it or not.

But is health insurance worth it?

If you're a very lucky and healthy 25-year-old with no dependents and six figures in the bank, maybe not.

Everyone else? I don't know. That would depend on things like your state's bankruptcy laws. What's not to love about the bankruptcy process?

The major problems with health insurance in the US are that 1) there is no basic public option that everyone could use if they absolutely had to, and 2) the largest providers are for-profit, meaning that they have to satisfy the free riders known as shareholders.

Dental insurance is even worse. My dental insurance has ridiculously low limits, but it gets you access to the "real" negotiated rates rather than whatever silliness "retail price" is.

I tried going without when I switched jobs to an employer that doesn't offer it, but one cleaning as a "cash payer" cost more than the annual premiums to buy insurance privately.

cows are a natural part of the ecosystem

Sure large herbivores were and still are part of many ecosystems.

But around where I live the majority of the grass for the grass-fed cows doesn't come from anything remotely resembling a rich ecosystem. The grass is literally 'grass': maybe one or 2 types of grass, similar amount of herbs, funghi. Hardly any insects except for flies attracted to manure. These used to be ecosystems with > 20 species of grassses and herbs per square meter.

And these are even relatively small farms; trying to upscale it beyond that to make it possible for millions of humans to eat meat multiple times a week, it won't get any better. If you're putting large amounts of cows in a much much smaller habitat then what they'd naturally use, then it's not the same ecosystem anymore.

Its perfectly possible for grass plus grazing animals to be carbon sink, and a provide a rich ecosystem.

tldr; yes, but only if you want to feed a couple of people from it.

Define "budding system that was working". Before the ACA, the number of uninsured Americans was around 50 million and insurance companies routinely denied coverage or charge higher premiums based on pre-existing health conditions. ACA is not perfect (due in no small part to the concessions that had to be made in congress to get enough votes) but i'd say it's been a net win.

Going back to a pre-ACA system won't lower premiums that much. Medical costs have risen in the last decade, same as any other goods or services, and the way US healthcare is structured, with hospital and doctors negotiating with a profit driven middleman (insurance companies) makes it almost impossible to change the rising premiums.

US healthcare will continue to be a mess until there's a universal healthcare system or single payer system similar to any other developed country on earth.

I'm not (yet) willing to do this for general health insurance, but I made this decision for dental, a couple of years ago. It has not been an issue. I've had a couple of crowns, and paid a fraction of what insurance would have covered, minus the ridiculously high deductible, and the monthly premiums.

Of course, now it's time to re-up for next year, and the message seems to be "Squeal, boy!".

It's a lot more complicated than that. If I have a 15MB .js file and it's just a collection of functions that get called on-demand (later), that's going to have a very, very low overhead because modern JS engines JIT compile on-the-fly (as functions get used) with optimization happening for "hot" stuff (even later).

If there's 15MB of JS that gets run immediately after page load, that's a different story. Especially if there's lots of nested calls. Ever drill down deep into a series of function calls inside the performance report for the JS on a web page? The more layers of nesting you have, the greater the overhead.

DRY as a concept is great from a code readability standpoint but it's not ideal performance when it comes to things like JS execution (haha). I'm actually disappointed that modern bundlers don't normally inline calls at the JS layer. IMHO, they rely too much on the JIT to optimize hot call sites when that could've been done by the bundler. Instead, bundlers tend to optimize for file size which is becoming less and less of a concern as bandwidth has far outpaced JS bundle sizes.

The entire JS ecosystem is a giant mess of "tiny package does one thing well" that is dependent on n layers of "other tiny package does one thing well." This results in LOADS of unnecessary nesting when the "tiny package that does one thing well" could've just written their own implementation of that simple thing it relies on.

Don't think of it from the perspective of, "tree shaking is supposed to take care of that." Think of it from the perspective of, "tree shaking is only going to remove dead/duplicated code to save file sizes." It's not going to take that 10-line function that handles with <whatever> and put that logic right where its used (in order to shorten the call tree).

That's not YAGNI backfiring.

The point of YAGNI is that you shouldn't over-engineer up front until you've proven that you need the added complexity.

If you need vector search against 100,000 vectors and you already have PostgreSQL then pgvector is a great YAGNI solution.

10 million vectors that are changing constantly? Do a bit more research into alternative solutions.

But don't go integrating a separate vector database for 100,000 vectors on the assumption that you'll need it later.

Bankruptcy is not an easy path out of debt. I've seen others go through it and it's stressful: they pry into all your finances, you still have to pay it off (just at a lower amount), and it destroys your credit. There are weird restrictions also like not being able to pay it off early even if you're able to.

EDIT: don't forget you have to pay the bankruptcy lawyer too.

The US legal system is all based on proving harm.

In this case:

1: SSLMate is a paying customer. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

2: Google harmed SSLMate, and their customers, by deliberately interrupting the services that were paid for.

The big question is if SSLMate was following the terms of service. If SSLMate was actually violating the terms, then it's a hard case to make. Otherwise, Google violated the contract and harmed SSLMate, and is therefore a valid target in US court.

Upgrading your computer’s RAM can boost performance, but compatibility and memory type matter.

Key Takeaways: Check current specs — See how much RAM you have and what type (DDR4 or DDR5). Match your system — Your motherboard and CPU must support the memory type and speed. Pick the right size — Basic use: 8–16 GB Gaming: 16–32 GB Content creation: 32–64 GB+

Use dual channels for better bandwidth; install memory in matched pairs. Enable XMP/EXPO in BIOS to run RAM at rated speeds. Don’t mix DDR4 & DDR5 — they’re not cross-compatible. Recycle or sell old memory to save cost and reduce e-waste.

Tip: You can sell used server RAM or desktop modules through BuySellRam to recover value from old hardware.

It was never sustainable. Because the model relied on healthy people subsidizing the people who make extremely poor choices (obesity, smoking, drugs or a combination of that). Obamacare's modeling predicted that significantly more healthy people would sign up, driving costs down. It didn't happen.

Now it is a system that ONLY the unhealthy benefit from. Everyone else pays for extremely bad choices.

These questions are the number two most important questions to ask, in software. The sanity/insanity part is not so relevant, but it is necessary to point out that, pretty much a huge percentage of software any of us uses on a daily basis, started off with someone having a random insanity, answering those two questions with a working binary, and thus setting the idea towards becoming normal and thus sane.
