How to Build and Deploy an NLP Model with FastAPI
I would love to see a Spotify for the news. Something that gives me access to every article written and pays the author some amount of money for each article I read. I subscribe to the New York times, the Washington Post, and Bloomberg. I do not like that as it's expensive and a pain in the rear to keep checking and logging in. It's also annoying that I can't see articles on other sites with pay walls. I'm from what I've heard, Apple News sounds like it does this, but I'm an Android guy so I can't use it.
The Occam Razor principle [1], likely needs to be completely reversed when dealing with Instutitional Propaganda sources.

Meaning that the typical interpretation of the principle that the 'most simple explanation' is probably correct -- needs to be reversed.

Meaning that when reading the propaganda agencies -- the view should be, the 'simple most straightforward explanation of highly visible events -- is probably not the right explanation'

In this case, you have to decide if the sources you are hearing the info from are the 'Institutional Propaganda' sources or not.

With regards to bitcoin, I think its present aquired value -- is in the safety and correctness of the system -- without any human law enforcement and judicial arbitration.
If the above premises are broken -- it would loose its value.

So in fact there are no such deaths despite you trying to give the impression that there are, and this is in fact all supposition despite you claiming otherwise.

It is a scare you made up, no different from the danger of police garotting people with their belts.
> With food, for example, people have lots of options, and while the need for food is absolute, wants for food can be ignored and or vary widely.

Wants for food absolutely cannot be ignored. Without food, you starve and die. Along with healthcare, food is the quintessential example of a good/service with price inelastic demand.

Now, you’re absolutely correct that in most food markets, there is a variety of options; that’s exactly what’s needed for a market to function. Unfortunately you haven’t demonstrated that private health insurance markets are inherently devoid of such options by nature of their being private. Medicare Advantage is an extremely healthy market, as is the individual market in Switzerland.

> Unlike food, that doctor visit doesn't really have a cap on risk. 5 figure? 6 figure? 7 figure? All can and does happen.

You’re just talking about catastrophic risk here, and as I’ve already mentioned, there’s nothing inherent to the private insurance model that makes this unworkable. This isn’t based on guesses and conjecture, it’s based in empirical outcomes: see Medicare Advantage, Netherlands, and Switzerland. Also keep in mind that nobody here is arguing against subsidies for poor or unhealthy people; we’re just talking about whether that money is used to purchase plans are created by actuaries that work for the government, or for private sector organizations, and the merits of each.

> And things people require? When people have to participate in the market, they pay the most and get the least value for the dollar.

That’s true in the US. That’s not true in Switzerland. Both have private healthcare markets. Therefore, it’s impossible to conclude just based on US outcomes that private-ness is the root cause. It’s clearly something else.

> See insulin prices in the US?

The unfortunate reality here is that government-enforced patents allow insulin prices to remain bloated. Again the root cause isn’t the profit motive, that’s just a side effect.

> This is a shitty market.

Absolutely no disagreements there. The US healthcare market is indeed shitty (outside of Medicare Advantage at least), unlike Switzerland.

> People are forced to buy, their choice is often limited, risks are crazy variant, costs not transparent, and on and on it goes.

Agreed. Again, nothing to do with private-ness.

> When we examine all this in detail, we will find those shining examples of for profit health care actually working out are very well regulated, and that means they are forced to fix sick people first and foremost.

This is also true of the US. Health insurance is by far the most regulated industry in the country. Profit margins are capped by ACA, plans are regulated by ERISA, health insurance has minimum standards thanks to the ACA, insurers cannot deny access based on pre-existing conditions, and employers are mandated to provide health insurance — all thanks to the ACA. From a regulatory standpoint, the US is virtually identical to Switzerland, except for one notable difference: employer sponsored care.
> We do have some expectation of universal mathematics literacy, or at least math is a required subject in most schools around the world.

Certainly not to the degree required to use this programming language :)

> But I don't think that math education is generally very successful at teaching people math

I agree, but the most likely hypothesis that I am forced to adopt given the available evidence is that this has very little to do with how math is taught and a great deal to do with the fact that aptitude in many subjects is largely heritable.

I think there are serious benefits to be harvested from improved pedagogy, but almost entirely at the top end. A worthwhile goal, certainly, but only going to exacerbate the state of affairs you’re objecting to.

> I'm more interested in figuring out what might make things better than assigning blame

A worthwhile goal, but I don’t think a new dependently typed functional language is likely to cause any marginal changes in the direction you’ve stated a preference for. Probably the exact opposite direction, if anything.

> Xcode Cloud requires you to push your repository to their servers […] You can't even synchronously wait on a build to finish - you have to set up a web server and listen for a webhook!

It's interesting how the outcomes of Apple's engineering decisions are coincidentally indistinguishable from an attack on general-purpose computing itself. I wonder how many more years it will be until they stop shipping me a compiler entirely (never worry about confusing Xcode updates again!!) and make Xcode Cloud the only way to write software for iOS devices and M1 Macs. LLVM's licensing means I'm not even entitled to the changes necessary to support their custom hardware.

A guy making 30k a year got a reduced judgement of 2 million dollars against him for distributing copies of Nintendo Switch games on the basis that each download was a lost sale.

Only issue? The Nintendo Switch can't play copies of a game unless you painstakingly modify it.

So every person who visited his site had already decided not to purchase games and exploited gaps in Nintendo's DRM on their personal devices, yet our justice saw fit to permanently ruin him with the incredibly nonsensical argument Nintendo presented.

Our justice system is broken in more ways than are apparent.

Cool! I can see there's a lot of creativity that goes into replicating in-person vision tests with a reasonably valid unsupervised version on people's home equipment. I hope you have success replicating as many of them as possible.

It's interesting to think of the adversarial element in #5 where vision test results are used to qualify for something. In this case a completely unsupervised test is really easy to cheat on -- people can just lean in close to the monitor! If you're not giving people something that they can use to receive a benefit like a job or a license, that incentive to cheat seems weaker, but maybe people will present their fresh prescriptions (!) as purported proof that they have very acute vision.

I was thinking more about psychological aspects where people might not want to admit that they have certain vision problems, so they might feel an incentive to convince themselves that they saw the correct thing. The order and context of presentation might affect how easy it is for people to convince themselves of that. I know I've taken similar tests in person at the optometrist (like looking at a grid to see if any portions appear distorted), but I don't remember exactly how the optometrist asked me to confirm what I'd seen.

This may be an underappreciated soft skill on the part of medical professionals -- getting people to tell the truth about their perceptions in diagnostic tests, or noticing when people may be dishonest or simply uncertain. So that may be pervasively tricky for you to address, at least with a small percentage of patients: if they want to think of themselves as having good vision, they may consciously or unconsciously fudge the results a bit so the assessment comes back better.

Google became very popular very quickly because it gave much better results much faster. The more that Google allows quality to decline, the faster they approach a non-recoverable tipping point. Just ask Yahoo how quickly that can happen. Google may seem entrenched, but they have a shaky hold on search that is only as strong as its result quality. They are entrenched in advertising, but only because that's where searchers go to search.

Users may be entrenched in other Google products-- Gmail, gcal, docs, etc-- but not search. Someone using all those other Google products could change their default search engine and have zero impact on the rest of their digital life.

I'm shopping around for a preferred alternative right now, I just haven't settled yet.

Cool thing about analog video was the ability to cheaply store a Lot of data using common VHS deck. Japanese started recording Digital PCM on Video tapes in 1977, long before CDs. This is why CD audio has 44.1 sampling rate - common divisor for fitting 3 samples per line of video in both 50 and 60 field rates.

What IP was stolen? The idea of running code from a web editor? The _button placement_?

There’s nothing here that says he’s stolen code or any IP. The CEO doesn’t even claim that he’s stolen real IP. Everything that’s similar is public knowledge and the burden of proof is to point out what’s been stolen.

Which the CEO could! Because the work was open sourced. So he could reply and say, “hey, you implemented this part in a way that is in code you worked on. It’s also a pretty atypical solution to this problem, so it seems reasonable that you took that from us.”

He doesn’t.

Instead, he gets insecure that a kid implemented a similar product in a couple days and decides to rail on him, then offer a half-apology well after it has blown up.

No, I built it and got it working, but it was a bit fragile. I used a Teensy for the brain, with USB MIDI, and that made it reliant on the cables. Teensys run on a mini version of USB, so the cables aren’t generally that sturdy. I’m going to rebuild it with a more durable foundation.

Thanks guys for the comments. Definitely helps to view this matter from more angles, and it's clearer now. This is certainly a case study of who not to work for. (I didn't know so much about Replit and its CEO prior and totally missed the totalitarian vibe he is giving)

Yes, Medicare traditionally never covered long term care. This was true for both Original Medicare, as well as for Medicare Advantage. Only Medicaid covered long term care, but as you may know that’s only for those with low income.

However, this is beginning to change. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has begun to allow private Medicare Part C insurers expand into long term care. Notably, to this day the public Medicare still doesn’t cover long term care, whereas M.Adv plans are beginning to.

If you’re talking about SNFs, Medicare Advantage is basically at parity with OM. I’ve seen Advantage plans by big payers like Humana with SNF benefit periods of 100 days. The 39% savings figure is on average, but if you require long term SNF stay, you’ll probably cost roughly the same to a private insurer as you do to Original Medicare. None of that stops private insurers from offering the benefit, since the actuarial math works out to the kind of savings that we’re mentioned above, across a whole benefit population.

> in exchange for subpar vision/dental

I’m not sure what data you’re looking at, but from where I sit, Medicare Advantage almost always includes vision/dental, whereas Original Medicare does not (which is why some seniors go for Medigap).
what does that youtube video have to do "systemic racism"? it seems like a tense situation with someone seems to be holding a gun-like object, the camera shows one angle , you have no idea how this scene looks like to the cop, it's not his body camera, you don't know if he can hear or understand warnings that this person is autistic. And even if he can it doesn't take away that from cop perspective that person is holding a deadly weapon with another person lying down possibly under deadly threat.

Are you the judge and jury? have you seen all the evidence? have you been in that cops shoes in life & death situation with adrenaline pumping? that's exactly how this engineered narrative spreads, by showing you one piece of the story, one angle of a camera, and aiming for blind outrage and viral distribution.

this (hispanic) cop is doing his job trying to resolve the situation which from his side seems like someone brandishing a gun and not responding to officers orders, possibly mentally disturbed individual, seating besides another person lying down with hands in the air, the cop is potentially saving that (black) person life.

Where is "racism" exactly? how does this unique and complex case generalizes to "systemic racism" accusation of the entire police force risking their lives out there to protect people like you, black, white or brown?
That's rough. Women have a much harder time with hEDS. I use Low Dose Naltrexone for the brain fog. It is not without its side effects but it works for me. I've been on it for 5 years for CFS before I knew it was for hEDS and would have considered myself normal if I wasn't getting injured all the time.

My theory, and this isn't standard, is that for hEDS the hormones drive the collagen deposition. Other EDS have a more direct link for mutation in collagen. I subscribe to the metabolic trap theory of CFS (see Dr Ron Davis) work, in my view this trap could upset the hormones which affects collagen.

In the past month I've been taking collagen peptides and other joint supplements and have noticed my fingernails have become substantially harder. I think the common refrain in the hEDS community that those don't help is wrong.

Trans men report a substantial improvement with TRT. There is an actual trial going on now treating women with testosterone.

There is anecdotal evidence that healing peptides and hGH is very effective. Especially for neck instability, or in my case degenerative disk disease. My gray market supply should arrive in a few days. I didn't want to wait for modern medicine to catch up. The pipeline for hEDS treatments is pretty sparse.

Long Covid seems to have a ton of similarities to heads so hopefully treatments will cross over.

A lot of imaging has significant, non-trivial consequences.

I am sitting here waiting for a MRI of a rare and interesting soft tissue tumour to come back in the next hour or two.

https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/tenosynovial-giant-ce...

It was picked up by a musculoskeletal radiologist who noticed some slightly atypical features on an ultrasound and reccomended that I send the patient for a MRI.

I arranged the ultrasound since the clinical course was atypical and I was reminded of a case of PVNS (a diffuse form of this ) that I had seem a few years ago.

I have arranged to have one of the leading soft tissue sarcoma experts in the country to see the person if the MRI confirms the suspicion.

Hopefully, the fact that it has been detected early will minimise the likelihood of consequences like limb amputation and early funeral expenses.
It really worries me that only after going viral did this warrant an apology on Repl.it's front.
