I think that's a good analogy. Not only do many kids today not know how to read a map or find their way around without their phone, but when their job is delivering packages and the app steers them to the wrong house they won't look at the physical address marker on the house and sometimes will even argue with the resident and suggest it's the resident who is in the wrong place.

They cannot navigate without the computer, and they trust the computer more than they trust physical reality.
You would think that, but the whole an0m thing showed that it wasn't really the case.
>"This change alone would remove 25+% of unnecessary bloat from the US system."

Where do you think the money is going? Insurance companies are not as profitable as you might think, drugs are not a massive burden on healthcare expenditures, and many hospitals are non-profits. The truth is that most of the money is going to staff wages; if you want to reduce healthcare spending, the only way to do it sustainably is to increase the numbers of doctors and nurses, so as to drive down their salaries (but this is not a popular option).

Fire, judiciously applied, can erase paper trails rather efficiently.
Well, yes, I was thinking the same way.

But I'm aware that many of those I've rated zero are actually something negative, as in "Please stop writing code" (I was trying to be generous). I'm thinking of people with personality defects, who are also novice coders, who also think they're God's gift, and therefore won't take advice.

So the score is a continuum, and there are negative (and zero) values. If that conflicts with the "x10" concept, then I'm not unhappy.

I'm also conscious of the notion that some super-clever people can unexpectedly wreck an organisation or team, instead of sparking it off. It's not insane to think of a -x4 dev. Very smart, but anyone picking up his work has a mountain to climb.

Wow. It certainly meant Flat Panel Display, it's evident from the context. The author probably did a poor research, just typing FPD (and not FPD fab) into the search engine.
The paper addresses your first point in section 7 'Model Rationale'. Essentially, anything that is subject to self-propagation is going to tend to expansionism at a large enough scale, superintelligence or not. The only thing that would prevent this is wide-scale coordination (e.g. a universal autocratic government). And if any species did accomplish this, they would just be one of the 'quiet' ones.

That's my take, they wrote it better though. That section is short, straightforward, and worth reading.
> Apple is a gatekeeper that no one who is buying their phones cares about.

I don't buy Apple devices primarily due to the way they administrate the app store and how they treat developers.

Bukable – Hire Verified Students for Various Tasks
My Experience with MicroAcquire
I decided to list my business for sale on MicroAcquire. After inputting some of our info, but before I wanted the listing to go live, they emailed me and said they had made my listing live. I thought there was a button to submit the listing before it went live, but they told me it just automatically goes live as soon as you enter all the required info. So I asked them to make the listing non-public, which they did.

But then the next morning I got another email saying our listing was live (I hadn't done anything). Not only that, but they had added a whole bunch of private info, such as our customers, to the public page!

So now I've just edited out the confidential information and asked them to remove our listing. I just can't trust them, so I won't be using their service.

It's a shame, as it looked like a useful service. I'm not concerned that they might sell my data.

Yes, in a well-regulated insurance market the winning business model isn't deceit. That's the point of the regulations.

Deceit can take many forms, and I'd argue that undercapitalization is actually one of them. "There's a trap clause on page 23 of the telephone book contract" is only the simplest strategy an insurance company can use to lemon-drop. "We ask our customers to do an impossible information wrangling task and only review the paperwork if they get cancer, so that we have an excuse to drop them" is a slightly more evolved form. Loading up sacrificial business vehicles with risk and using bankruptcy to discharge obligations is the most advanced form of deceit-based insurance business models, because it provides plausible deniability. "We just tried to compete a bit too hard!" they can claim, even if they knew in their hearts exactly what they were doing: the age old practice of selling insurance that you had no intent of making good on.

Fortunately, we have a long record of historical evil tricks to draw on when crafting legislation, because I absolutely stand by my claim that the natural incentives (the ones that happen without careful legislation) in the insurance industry are overwhelmingly bleak, both on an absolute scale and relative to other industries.
hot take: rather than AI, software development would be better served by just going into LTS maintenance mode. For each domain (web development, android, etc, css) pick a tool and everyone agrees that will be "the" tool for a decade or two.

this will reduce the amount of "possibilities" w.r.t. code by orders of magnitude and therefore make it easier to both read, write, and development tools to automate code.

of course this will necessarily reduce innovation, but at the expense of higher quality code, easier to maintain code and skills that are more transferrable.

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc, are primarily networks of personal (or corporate) identities. The centerpiece is the user. HN and Reddit are primarily ranked lists of interesting URLs. I don’t know one user from another, apart from a handful of prolific users, and half the accounts start with “throwaway”.

Nullability isn't that big of an issue in practice. Every call in objective-c is equivalent to a variable?.thing call anyway, and in swift codebases most things become non-null fairly quick. It's probably the top feature of swift for me, which is ironic because it's relatively cheap (in compile time) to implement compared to many other things swift has.

And if you're doing nullability, you might as well add ADT enums, since that is usually how it's implemented.
This app uploads your identifiers and activity to the developer without consent.

Not all health care is heart attacks. "Health care" is a huge bucket containing everything from buying a bottle of cough syrup to the heart attacks you mention.

But excluding the market from everything is not the answer. The problem with using insurance for all these non-urgent things is that insurance distorts the market and price discipline goes out the window.

> many hospitals are non-profits.

That can't possibly be true of a hospital that charged $3000 for something on Tuesday, and $53000 for the same thing on Friday.

(Under reasonable assumptions like that Tuesday wasn't done at a $25K loss relative to breaking even; why would such be the case? And that they are busy with procedures, not simply doing a way overpriced procedure once every few weeks, and then just burning through cash in between that time.)
Show HN: Neolight – Extra keyboard layer with special characters for programming
It is trickle-down inflation: too much capital chasing too few companies chasing too little labor, also chasing too few goods (asset inflation, wage inflation, consumer goods inflation).
My own personal data point is that, with COVID, some tech companies are embracing remote work and suddenly I can enter a much wider and higher paid job market without having to relocate.

Companies that aim to get butts back in the office are going to have a huge brain drain.
If you are a tech company and want to retain your workers I think there are two things you can do:

1) Make sure you are paying your workers close to what they could get just by switching to the same role at a different company.

2) Make sure that you offer permanent remote roles.

Just from my anecdotal experience in tech, most of the people who have left companies recently have left for one of these two reasons: either they were getting a big bump in compensation, or else the old company did not allow permanent remote work.

Aside from the social engineering aspect of constantly undermining the value of "currency" such as "gold" or resources like "food", etc.

The game devs have complete control over the value of things be it buildings, soldiers, items, etc. The ability to constantly release new tiers/soldiers/etc that instantly devalue previous invested time and work all in service to wring more real-world money from addicts...

Of course once too many new shiny things are released, suddenly the climb/intro for new players is too high.

So suddenly, new players are given far more of the original "currency" of gold and resource to skip past the beginning steps so they can come within shouting distance to where investing money would keep them alive.

Well, it's kind of like a perverse fiat currency and a central government with the power to impose regulations and print currency at will.

The fact that the "central government" started printing money / resources once several more tiers of buildings/soldiers/defenses were introduced devalued all that previous investment and work to startling degrees.

To me it was reminiscent of fiat currency and hyperinflation due to printing money.
It's unfortunate that it's hosted in Singapore. I do a lot of geo-blocking on my router, and I often wonder to what degree it helps me at all.
No doubt. I wasn't trying to comment on the quality or access, just a point on how we have "solved" the healthcare problem over time.

Taxpayers cover the neediest, leaving the healthiest to for-profit insurers. The healthiest have no incentive to make sure the programs for the neediest actually work or are accessible.
I wondered about this a lot.

There's lots of "people are resigning, they don't want to work for $15 an hour" articles that to me combined labor related ideas that I'm not sure are that related.

To me this article at least asks a lot of valid questions / possibilities.

>It’s also possible that many of these mid-level employees may have delayed transitioning out of their roles due to the uncertainty caused by the pandemic

That and other ideas there seem valid and interesting. Unfortunately the article doesn't provide a lot of answers.
Start with this. If there are peripherals you don't use (something as small as a Bluetooth adapter or as large as a GPU), figure out how to power them down, and get the computer to put them in that state by default.

On ThinkPads (and probably on others), you can monitor the instantaneous power consumption by poking around in:

/sys/class/power_supply/*

There are widgets that can monitor this for you and alert you if anything seems amiss, but I just have a script that puts some text and symbols in my menu bar:

You can use this to confirm that (for example) your wifi card is actually powering down when you ask it to.
I expect programmers' jobs will only be to write tests. If a bug is found another test is written and the AI will generate new code until the new test passes.
I created this about 7 years ago, after using Neo for a year (a custom keyboard layout optimized for German) and finding that having messed up shortcuts in games and other applications was not worth it for me. Also readjusting to qwertz when typing on somebody else's computer always took a while.

My goal was:

* to create a layout that has the extra layers useful for programming from Neo, but otherwise be standard qwertz as much as possible

* while being usable in combination with any layout (not just German), provided the keyboard has the right set of keys for the modifiers

I would also argue that focusing on developers too much is actually a loss for users. Developer productivity above all is how we've ended up with resource hogs like Chrome and Electron as well as never-ending erosion of customizability in software as well as the user's level of control and privacy.

It's critical to have a great developer story yes, but to make a stellar platform that needs to be balanced with a great user story, and that means developers might not always get everything they want down to the letter.

Saint Joseph on a hot plate, the intolerance and rigidity of thinking of people on this web page is too much.

Ah gotcha, I didn't realize they were different shows. Did a little more digging, and here's the warning on Sesame Street: "These early Sesame Street episodes are intended for grownups and may not suit the needs of today's preschool child"

Maybe you should ask, how many people did they infect? How many people have they potentially killed either by spreading an infection or by overwhelming hospitals so that other patients pass because they can't get the care they need?

The problem about the "should they get care" problem is that it ignores the source, their refusal to help society and ultimately their demise is directly linked by their lack of action. For this subreddit specifically no one is posting COVID deaths of immunocompromised people, or the vaccinated, there is a reason. It's focusing on the denial and the end result of prayer requests, and ultimately death.

It's grim. However it's a choice they make for <insert reason here>.
Building a low power connected wan so you can use lots of internet of things devices just leads to adding radios in your devices and them reporting back on you. Today it's impractical because of cost to have my tv spy on me if I don't have it connected to the internet. But with this, in the future they will put low power radios on tvs, refridgerators, cars, anything.

The money to pay for the crypto currency (helium) you get paid in must be coming from companies that will benefit from having these radios working.

I know it's not that there is not legit use for this in terms of sensors. But there's also no way for me to restrict devices that in things I purchase from being part of this network.

The android users at my day job are extremely vocal about hating Apple, yet the people using Apple devices mostly mind their own business.

Perhaps it's an ego thing? Like maybe they can't afford Apple devices for their whole family so they buy Android and hate on Apple instead.
Actually, it does.

The only reason one would be taking iver prophylactically, is because one wasn't vaccinated. And the only reason to take iver after covid symptoms develop is because you didn't take the vaccine.

If one was vaccinated and are feeling sick enough to take iver, she would be better off with oxygen and hospital SOC.
A nice idea, but it's not a pareto equilibrium though; particularly not for developers.
I’m actually joining the Apple ecosystem from Android/Windows for similar reasons. In particular, I wanted to use Logic instead of paying huge sums for new versions of Ableton; I wanted to use Pixelmator Pro instead of paying for Adobe subscription (although Affinity Photo is also available on windows); I wanted to use Time Machine instead of Google Drive; I especially wanted my passwords stored on my computer instead of locked behind my Google account at passwords.google.com (I was locked out of my Google account for a week once and it was temporarily life-ruining); and finally, I was so tired of trying to keep up with endless UI changes in Windows and Android. I’m not saying these were good reasons, but they were my reasons. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure I guess.
