We were worried that the singularity was going to involve artificial intelligences that could make themselves smarter, and we were underwhelmed when it turned out to be neural networks that started to summarize Stack Overflow neural network tips, to try to optimize themselves, instead.

GPT-∞: still distinguishable from human advice, but it contains a quadrillion parameters and nobody knows how exactly it’s able to tune them.
Some of the best times in my life were when I was young and carefree and poor :)
yeah the macbook air does fit the bill better than an ipad... you're right. i forgot that those still existed.
For completeness, a couple of other health related actions by the current administration:

- 'Most Favored Nation' drug pricing. Also as of 1/1, big pharma has to charge US payers the same price as the lowest price they charge to other countries. One example cited is insulin. Apparently, the price of Insulin from the same pharma is 10% the price in Canada as it is in the US. Now that this law is enacted, that pharma has to charge the same in the US as they charge in Canada.

- 'Right to Try'. Greatly reduces restrictions on terminally ill patients' access to experimental treatments.

- Removed the mandate on the affordable care act. People who do not have any health insurance were liable to pay a fine. That fine was removed.

- eHealth across state lines. Doctors were not permitted to see patients via video calls across state lines. During the pandemic, that restriction was removed.
There are precedents for this. One that comes to mind are updated editions/versions of board/tabletop games, which https://boardgamegeek.com/ tries to handle.
$6/mo for the lowest tier of Google Workspace (aka G Suite).

I moved all my gmail stuff to a domain on it and now I feel protected. I can move in a couple of hours, if need be.
one could make the argument than the benefits of police, firemen, and military scale somewhat proportionately with wealth. people with meaningful assets have a lot to lose if the police stop protecting their property or the US navy can't guarantee relatively safe trade by sea. their house is probably worth more too. a homeless person probably gets hassled by police much more often than protected by them. socialized healthcare mostly benefits people who don't have and/or can't easily afford good insurance.
> Isn’t PCI compliance handled by Stripe?

Not if you handle the card numbers outside of Stripe (through a backend) instead of letting them pass through Stripe's iframe.

It's unclear to me if that's happening here. Stripe CAN work that way, but then PCI compliance is entirely on you (and you might as well get a regular merchant account at that point, since you've already gone to all that effort.)

Anything that touches cardholder data has to be PCI compliant. Stripe offloads PCI compliance for you because Stripe's front-end library lets the card number (etc) pass from your browser directly to Stripe's PCI-compliant backend, without ever passing through your application servers.

If you interrupt or proxy that flow, you become responsible for PCI compliance.

(Note that I have no idea if that's what they're doing here, but they could and you wouldn't even know until your account was closed for fraud. Also, this sort of centralized architecture can easily become a target for attack.)

There was not enough outsiders PRs among recent prs. It will be possible to check this one after I deploy new version with improved methodology.
Dubai is one part of the UAE, itself an extremely small place. The vast majority of the economy of the UAE is based on petroleum. If you consider that tourism and construction are conducted on the back of "wonders" and infrastructure that came about due to the petroleum industry, that majority gets larger. If you consider that Dubai's existence as a "financial hub" is entirely predicated upon the petroleum resource trade including shipping and refining, that majority balloons even further.

"Before oil was discovered in the 1950s the UAE's economy was dependent on fishing and a declining pearl industry. But since oil exports began in 1962, the country's society and economy have been transformed." (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-14703998)

The question is, do you believe the economy of Dubai would decrease by more than 1% if all petroleum business within the UAE were halted tomorrow? I think it's clear that yes, the economy would react significantly. That 1% number comes from a two-year-old shill piece from Bloomberg (click through the Wikipedia citation if you don't believe me) that doesn't show its data or the breakdown by sector for all of Dubai's GDP.
Stripe Connect & OAuth was something we thought about. It's definitely recognised as a more secure method and it's also low friction to integrate.

The only drawback comes into play with marketplace and platform apps. The platform itself may already be using OAuth with their customer.

We could offer our customers both options and let them choose which one is best.
Hey, the Julia open source organization did have an undergrad in his senior year working part time on community management though. Can't leave that out. We don't know if JetBrain or Mozilla had something like that.

Stripe has dedicated application API keys for precisely this purpose. You are likely doing it wrong.
Maybe the lesson is that languages that don't explicitly support namespaces are pernicious.

Just compiling the original app and its static dependencies with a C++ compiler would fix this, because send_socket's linkage name would get the arguments mangled in.

After that, the code could use modern C++ features, and get incrementally more maintainable.
Fun fact - I'm a cofounder of this and a US citizen, but I live in London. I agree completely with this. I spend my days working on US healthcare data and seeing how crazy it is while I use the NHS for my actual care.

But the US system is tricky because while it is an huge mishmash of layers of middlemen and clearing houses taking a slice of the pie, those layers also employ a huge number of Americans across the country. It would be extraordinarily difficult (both logistically and politically) to rip all that out in one fell swoop. I feel like the only possible way to bring in socialized medicine in the US would be a gradual expansion of opt-in 'Medicare for All' or something along those lines.
It certainly could be ideological justification, however as early as the 1880s communists and socialist started advocating for 50-100 years of state capitalism in less developed countries before socialism would be attempted.

Lenin for example had this position in the USSR once he realized central planning wasn't going to work out well enough, but Stalin took the USSR in another direction when Lenin died.

Or just do what my company started doing: chain a dongle to the projector. If you have a Type-C port, use the dongle. If you have HDMI, use the direct HDMI cable.

This $30 dongle is cheaper than upgrading all the projectors to support Type-C, and still allows older PCs to use HDMI.

Not really sure what's unreliable about USB-C to HDMI dongles... sure if you buy a crappy one they have issues, but good ones aren't expensive these days (at least, for projector resolution. YMMV if you're trying to do 4k or something)
When people I know cry out and denounce China I say: yeah true, they’re not the paragon of democracy and there’s not much we can do about it now; especially when we’re blind to our own defections and we fail to address what is most certainly within our own jurisdiction
I work in a niche sector of the insurance industry. Based on what it can already do, I can see it doing half my job with basically no learning curve for the user. Based on this alone, I could see it reducing headcount in the company and sector by 5%. This is massive when you consider the low margins in the industry and high costs of "skilled" staff.
Software engineer's guide to asserting dominance in the workplace (2016)
There were a bunch of comments in this thread (now killed, so you'd have to switch 'showdead' to 'yes' in your pforile to see them) which looked suspiciously promotional and similar to one another.
> It also baffles me how much energy is spent on hiring people, vs mentoring and fostering them so they grow and are promoted.

I used to be baffled by that too (and frustrated when they hired someone from outside, when we had IMHO better candidates in-house). However the alternative leads to the Peter Principle, won't it (I've seen that too and the result was worse)?
Photosynthesis is a perfect example, I know of a handful of useful chemicals that today come from the cultivation of specific plants. Food production is the other obvious one use case for it. If you're byproduct is oxygen, well, can use it for whatever you want.
That goes explicitly against the code of buy nothing which is to reduce consumption and give freely with no strings attached. Obviously it's still a problem if someone is monopolizing donations as that discourages participation by a lot of people and hurts the community aspect of BN. As some other commenters have mentioned, a good mitigating strategy is to encourage giving to a random commenter after a couple hours have passed rather than first-come-first-serve.
> This has happened to me in real life exactly NEVER!

Do you do something applied like programming? I think problems (and solutions) similar to this one should be easy to find in TCS.

The problem you quote seems valuable to me for its insight, it shows that you can reduce certain search problems to algebraic calculations which are easy to do. I think this is useful concept to understand, and a good mental exercise to try coming up with it yourself (even if you don't apply it directly).

Could it be that even if you're a programmer who will never have to solve exactly this problem, you could still use the intuition you gain from this problem to solve others (or understand existing solutions you need to implement)? Could it be that you indirectly used the knowledge you have of this solution without being aware of it?
My main principle of making friends is: say yes to everything and everyone.

You don’t generally just meet your favorite person out of the blue. You meet them at a party thrown by someone who is not your favorite person but you went anyway.

The reason this works is friend (and date) finding is a numbers game. You just need minor contact with thousands of people to find the handful that fit great.

It also works because of practice. You get practice building curiosity, reliability, body language, jokes, etc with the friends you don’t quite click with, so that when the right person appears you have the skills to engage them fully.

And none of this means doing the same things over and over with people you don’t really like. Do your best to find life with them, but keep saying yes to new people. Let the people you really don’t click with sort of decay out.
But doesn't a large majority of 'social services' spending go to retirement incomes? Obviously that is important, but discretionary spending on, for example, taking care of children, is much smaller.
Opt-out telemetry is spyware, regardless of how convenient you might find it to spy on your users without their consent. The only ethical telemetry is opt-in, such as the system Debian uses, where users are given the option to install the "popularity-contest" telemetry package during install, with the default being not installing.
Did you bother actually looking up the data? Because intentional homicide in the US is indeed more than 6x greater than it is in places like Austria and Switzerland.

There is no country in western Europe with anywhere near the violent crime rate as the US.

• Sometimes there's already a newer, still-alive thread on the same subject (usually created by someone who didn't know there was already a thread on the subject, but sometimes created by someone who "wanted to avoid necroposting" and so intentionally created a new thread.) You shouldn't be posting in thread 1 about topic X, if you could instead be posting in thread N about topic X.

• The older thread probably has a bunch of context given within it that's no longer relevant, and will just confuse the people trying to comment in the thread years later (e.g. requirements that are no longer valid or are already satisfied; requests/advice given in terms of architecture that's been refactored away from, or tooling that no longer exists; etc.) These threads are essentially "rotten" — only of value to a cultural anthropologist, not for driving present goals. Better to avoid reviving such a "rotten" thread, and instead to create a new thread on the same subject, where you can provide a fresh context that doesn't conflict with the previous "rotten" context.

IMHO, if comment/forum systems had richer semantics, the ideal would be to have "threads of threads" (meta-threads?), where repeated discussions on the same topic exist both as distinct threads, but also viewed in the context of a larger ongoing meta-thread (sort of like threads within a channel on Slack, but where the "channel" is still just one discussion. Maybe closer to a "user story" issue-tree-node in Jira, that has individual issues nested below it.)

As it is, frequently maintainers use some microformat or issue-tracker annotation to mark new issues as dups of old issues as a reason for closing them. (But I'd honestly suggest that that's backward: usually, the old issue is "rotten"; so a new issue should be allowed on the same topic; and moderators of the forum should go back to old, "rotten" issues and mark them as dups of the new issue, to allow people who find the old issue to follow the link to see the newer discussion on the same topic.)

> The strongest counterpoint to this is that despite America's high healthcare consumption, that health outcomes are significantly worse than Europe. In particular in terms of life expectancy.

Just look at the life expectancy of France and Germany to disprove your theories.

The big difference between the American healthcare system and the one in these countries is that people don’t have to worry about the bills, which means healthcare providers have a much bigger incentive to learn what cost benefit analysis means.
What version of windows are you on? I just opened my pc to check and sure enough, display settings is still in my desktop menu. But I do get what you mean, that's one of the reasons my windows usage at this point is basically only for video games. And even that won't be true when I build a new rig with AMD CPU & GPU.

No evolving application can be or stay free of bugs or security concerns, regardless of the people or company behind it.
It's hard because YouTube invests stupid amount of time to get advertisers on board which pay the video creators.

Content is on YT because the creators are being paid for it - and an alternative platform will need to find a solution for that. On top of the existing hard problem of making a good video streaming service that doesn't go bankrupt.

Patreon helps, but remember that most creators now get paid by Patreon AND by YouTube.

Another, better title would be "Taxes Subsidize Nukes. Again."

The amounts are small compared to what has been flushed down the Magnetic- and Inertial-confinement Fusion drains, but galls when the costs of renewables are still in free-fall.

There is no scenario, on this planet, where fission or fusion will be preferred on a rational basis of cost per unit output. If these things were commercially viable, they would already be in service, but they get less viable with each passing day.

This must be the last stop to jump on the nuke gravy train before the tracks start being pulled up behind it to use building wind-turbine towers.
I'm not a Chromecast user so I can't say what is a good alternative but I use a Roku and am pretty satisfied with it. My "smart" TV has apps but they're hot garbage so I keep it offline and just use the Roku.

Keep in mind Roku shows ads on your home screen and gathers tracking data, but this can be blocked with pihole.
40 years and still programming here. I get freelance gigs through contacts, word of mouth, and an agency that represents me. Before freelancing I got f/t jobs for a long time solely through contacts and former co-workers. I’d start with your professional network. Job boards and gig marketplaces are a last resort, IMO.
I am inclined to believe that criminal inclination is a human universal. I am also inclined to believe that the American system catches and punishes more criminals (as a percentage) than the European systems. But some disparity does seem to exist.
Only for the backend.
Thank you. Just did.
I don’t think that is true. As far as I know, Cython let’s you do function overloading and single dispatch via class inheritance. I think you also miss out on the type inference that lets you do things like pipe dual numbers through functions without any dispatch related overhead.
I was assuming you meant GKE beta features, not k8s beta, since the latter is ridiculous, can you point me to the bit of the SLA you’re referring to here?
>I think that says a lot about our society.

No it doesn't. People have children because having a genetic connection is important to them. That's not a 'society-thing'. That's just humanity. There are exception to this, and that's why foster parents should be applauded because fostering and adopting is great moral act. But I wouldn't impugn the rest of society because most people don't adopt, but instead choose to have biological children.
> And that's the story of how I never used this trick ever again.

I agree with your point, and I would go on to say that this is an excellent example of the value of tests. Especially with something so relatively small and self-contained, which makes it easy to test.
People under deadline, boss, client, investor, competition, resume-driven-development, etc, pressure, or just plain normally, suck at abstract risk prediction.

I appreciate all those considerations but prevention of disease is all about identifying issues that may disrupt ones current feelings of and actual healthy state.

We cannot keep waiting for randomized experimental research to identify all the ways health may degrade over time. If we can regularly gather data en masse, we regularly over time can identify more predictors and risk factors for poor (and good) health, and evaluate efficacy of treatments received or effects from lack of treatment.

Again, why pay for seatbelts (and get tickets for not having them) in vehicles if I've have no history of accidents, or receive preventative dental care despite no serious current oral issues, etc.

Why do we have heat sensors in vehicles? The vehicles I've driven in life have never overheated.

Somehow we continue to excuse doctors who practice poorly by treating by markers alone rather than the whole picture (including the patients feelings and desires), or despite contraindications for the treatment being considered.

Somehow the only practical solution is to allow health degradation, and then rush to identify and treat and attempt reversal.

In theory the shuttle promised sustainability. But as the years went by it proved to be more expensive and almost 5x deadlier than the Apollo stack.

The shuttle did make sense for some things it was never used (DoD influence there) and it was an incredible piece of technology. It was also the workhorse for a big part of the ISS. But then again, that all happened in LEO, and different things could have been achieved by just iterating over Apollo/Saturn, in LEO and further away.

I guess what I'm curious about is why there's no Patreon App for Apple TV (and I'm guessing smart TV too but I avoid that due to ads). It feels like Patreon is trapped in a world where they think people will watch things on mobile - something I never do unless I'm on a plane.
Exactly, they are legally bound to do what is best for the company while they only have to "sort of" give consideration for your situation.
Books on Inversion
Are there any good books on thinking what Taleb calls "via negativa", also known as inversion? I get the concept but a good knowledge of work would definitely help me cement it.
I've never usually been able to tell if a relationship was salvageable or not, from both being in one and observing someone else's. It's almost always come down to some "to be, or not to be" moment where someone has to make a fuzzy decision.

Do you feel like there's a good way of measuring whether a relationship is worth saving or not?
If it's a pure function. Oh and if you have state-based control flow you have to turn off the JIT. Etc. If you take a standard library like some thermodynamics simulator and throw Jax on it do you expect it to work without modification? Most of the time it'll fail right at the start by using the wrong implementation of Numpy. So no, that's not "ordinary functions": those are functions where people consciously put in the effort to rewrite years of work onto Jax which is very different.
