JITs are more-or-less portable now. Lua's, like most, probably came originally from some Javascript's. But of course they all trace back conceptually to HotSpot in the '90s. Even Guile Scheme is JITted now, though it probably shares no code with the others.

The term "JIT" is getting abused lately to describe what happens to users' eBPF code that runs in the Linux kernel, and Wasm that runs in browsers. In those, all types are known statically, code is compiled to a portable form offline, and transcribed to machine code before any execution, and none of the runtime instrumentation, analysis, and progressive rewriting occurs.
> You’re arguing for vastly more complexity in the flight director

The airplane should already have a terrain database in the ground proximity warning system, so triggering a warning in this case doesn't seem entirely unreasonable, should have very low false positives, and could improve flight safety.

Should it be necessary? Theoretically not, but pilots are human, and we have to choose whether we want to be smug about their stupidity while piecing together 300+ charred corpses, or account for humans doing human things.

> I don’t see how anyone can have this opinion. If you are producing code for which VS was designed (.net for example) it is obviously and definitely one of the greatest IDEs ever produced.

Hard disagree. VS makes code harder to navigate than any other popular IDE out there to the point where even vscode is more intuitive and capable, it's extremely slow at that too, and makes even the tiniest change to a build config something that requires jumping through a myriad arcane menus.

Having used other IDEs to develop Java, C# and C++ code, the only explanation I can find to explain Visual Studio's adoption, besides privileged access to Microsoft's emergent technologies and frameworks, is the boiling frogs analogy.

> If you are having to fight with VS, then you may not be using it for one of its main use cases.

I guess that writing software and building projects are not Visual Studio's main use cases, then.
The claim I was responding to was that a healthcare provider would pursue expensive procedures (presumably not medically necessary) based on what kind of insurance a person has.

To which I would say that is wrong because the person working at the MCO reviewing the claim would not be evaluating the expensive procedure based on if the insured has Medicare or Medicaid, they will approve or deny it the same if they deem it medically unnecessary.

I agree that healthcare providers get paid differently based on the patient’s coverage, and that would influence the priority they give the patient. In fact, I would say the whole point of the convoluted MCO system (versus a simple taxpayer funded system like UK) is to give the government plausible deniability for segmenting the population into various groups of people getting different quality levels of healthcare.
> These businesses clearly do not have pricing power, and are not businesses you get into to pocket lots of profit.

You're arguing against yourself there. If the market is really competitive then there is no need to set a maximum profit margin because anyone who tried to charge that much would lose business.

Meanwhile, suppose that one provider was much better managed than the others. The mismanaged ones would simultaneously have high prices and low margins, because they're wasting the money. The well managed one could then have much higher margins even at the same or lower price.

But if there is a profit cap and you're already at it, searching for further efficiency improvements costs you profit. If your margin is 20% and that's the cap, but you can get a 10% cost reduction, what do you do? If you lower prices, your competitors lower prices, and then you still have a 20% margin and they drop to a 10% margin. You gain no customers and reduce your absolute profits by 10% by making the same 20% margin on a 10% smaller total. If you burn the efficiency improvement on purpose, or don't look for it to begin with, you make more money.

> Majority or at least plurality of people do not even get to choose their MCO.

Somebody is choosing for them and that person doesn't want to take the blame for choosing one that denies claims.

This is part of the reason why it works -- some HR drone making the decision isn't spending their own money, but they're the one who takes the blame for choosing the disreputable discount provider if there are problems.

Even if covid didn't come from a lab, we clearly possess the technology.

The cherry on top is that we're still actively working on said technology.

We have collectively and silently learned that we have the technology to end the world, and no one is really shocked by it.

This is far worse than nukes because M.A.D. doesn't apply, and it's not resource constrained. Viruses can come from anywhere and be enhanced with the right equipment and knowledge, which probably isn't all that expensive.

Why the hell aren't we shutting these labs down, or at the very least this type of research?
All the numbers in the above data are adjusted for inflation.

Anecdotes are not data. According to this (quick google): https://dqydj.com/historical-home-prices/ inflation adjusted median price increased by about 80-95% since ~1970 (assuming ~25 years per generation for "grandpa"), depending on whether you include the COVID spike. According to this, however: https://247wallst.com/special-report/2016/05/25/the-size-of-... median house size since 1970 increased by ~75%. That both calls "big house" into question, and puts the increase in price into perspective. Also, inflation adjusted income has increased by ~50% in the same time frame: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/01/09/trends-.... So, housing has become expensive somewhat faster than income (but by far not 3x that you describe), in part because the houses are now much bigger (and not half the size that you imply for the 3x cost).

To put it more bluntly than in my previous post (and for reference I did not grow up in the USA), the main difference between your US generation and grandpa's, is that yours is far more entitled, while representing a far smaller slice of world economy. And, if my West Coast experience is any indication, the sub-slices of the generation tend to feel more entitled in inverse proportion to their actual economic contribution...

The same principle works in medicine. Instead of one institute doing 10 trials over 5 years you can also have 10 institutes doing 10 trials in a year (Note: these are not actual numbers, just a show of peinciple).

Those "millions of years" comments always seem rather out of place, considering that the Earth naturally contains enough radioactive elements that literally kept it warm for 4.6 billion years. (And they come with several billion years of half-lives.)

Unfortunately that would not make sense, as the Portmaster needs to access many OS interfaces in order to integrate correctly. Dockers job is pretty much to remove access to these.

It is technically possible, just not likely. Advancement from behind being rapid makes sense, you have something clear to aim for. Rapid advancement from the front is much less certain. If they continue to advance, it will be purely through novel innovation and production rather than being a cheap place to make stuff or by catching up with (or borrowing) developed world tech.

And eventually the Chinese people will want to enjoy life more rather than work hard to develop even more (especially since so many will be at or past retirement age).
> Unit tests should be small, specific enough tests that they should not ever require using the database.

What if the code you're testing is an ORM, or something else that intrinsically implies a database?

It seems to me that tests that're good enough that they'll catch a decent proportion of errors would involve a database here.

Of course, you might designate such tests "integration tests" rather than "unit tests", but I think the important thing about tests is not what you call them, it's whether they catch bugs.

For better or worse, Reddit has replaced forums, and in a big way. Now even the most niche topic has a subreddit jam packed with a wealth of information. Its like a wikipedia of people knowledge.
The old definition is still how we learned it in undergrad software engineering (taught by the youngest professor in the department, no less) in 2021. Integrating into a database, much less one with simulated real-world data, would be integration or end-to-end testing, definitely not unit. The name unit implies testing a single unit of code, not how everything runs in real world conditions.
> Health insurers do not approve/deny claims based on what level (platinum/gold/silver/bronze) insurance you have.

If the patient has good insurance, they don't really care about providers doing a lot of expensive unnecessary things, because they're not paying.

If they have less good insurance, either the patient is paying more to you out of pocket and is more likely to balk, or you're waiving the patient's portion of the cost and you don't want to be doing unprofitable unnecessary procedures for them.

So the incentive is for providers to do lots of expensive unnecessary things on the patients with better insurance.
> are an absolute boon to tax collectors, forensic accountants and fraudsters

Weird that it would be a boon for both forensic accountants and fraudsters. How do you reconcile that sentence?

The fact that something is done in public does not mean that it is centralized. There is public and decentralized, public and centralized, private and centralized, and private and decentralized.

Decentralization itself, is a spectrum and not a binary quality. Just as, I assume, public / private also falls on some sort of spectrum spanning from everyone in the world being able to see to VISA/Mastercard corporate privacy policy to national intelligence agencies to group or individual privacy.

It is completely possible to conduct transactions privately on blockchains. Monero and z-cash (using zero knowledge proofs) are the best examples of this.

The biggest blockchains choose not to either due to legacy design choices (zero knowledge systems are a recent innovation) or the benefits of openness. For example, public transaction history allows for development of an on-chain reputation for a pseudo-anonymous account. It's also quite useful for managing decentralized organizations, as the treasury and spending records is meant to be public to keep the DAO accountable to its members and prospective members.

With the recent introduction of zk rollups on Ethereum, it's now possible to have the best of both worlds, in my opinion (see https://aztec.network/index.html). Transactions that need to be private will be conducted on zero-knowledge rollups built for privacy. Mastercard is working on this with Consensys for Ethereum (https://www.coindesk.com/business/2021/12/16/consensys-colla...).
Yeah, once you get to the ZKP approach, which is what you're describing, the benefits are more significant.
It doesn’t follow that errors will be catestrophic. It could be the car just fails to handle edge case situations and just stops… granted on a highway that’s bad but everywhere else, that’s a hassle to traffic at worst. Also highway full self driving is much closer to being a solved problem.

Even the failures you see in the beta of Tesla FSD, aren’t catestrophic. The worst I’ve seen is a curb strikes in terms of actual “accidents”
There are a lot of bullshit blockchain projects.

That said, the reason tokens are tied to so many of these projects is to act as incentive and to quantify participation. There is no reason for people to, say, seed torrents aside from feeling good about sharing with other people.

Financializing this process brings an incentive to participate in decentralized projects that otherwise would have no way to exist. Sure, most of the projects will fail and perhaps only existed in the first place to enrich the founders, but isn't that true of the startup space as well?

The projects that succeed will succeed big, but I estimate we are still years away from an example that will be overwhelmingly convincing. By then most the profit will have been made and there will still be people on HN saying the whole cryptocurrency space is a scam. It is my opinion they are wrong, let history be the judge.

It's not that unexpected, because you do recurrent training in the simulator every 6 months. And there is a set of emergencies that is done every time, for example engine failure / fire during takeoff must be done.

All pilots are trained to know the immediate actions required for a whole set of scenarios (we call these memory items) the point of the sim check is not to learn them but to check that you know all of them and to keep some recent experience. Because these things happen so rarely in real flights.

I've had for example only once had an engine failure after takeoff and it was a partial failure without fire. In the simulator I think I've done it at least 100 times and most times they put it on fire for good measure so you're in a hurry to get on the ground. The real world one was very uneventful, return to the airport, taxi back, do a lot of paperwork.
web3 is not there yet but people are putting sincere efforts to get there.

web3 is more open source than current centralised web, all contracts on blockchain can be read and forked, all coins are open source. forking coins, contracts, communities are all happening, new leaders emerge and consensus build, but new use case emerge where people and their motivations differs, the cycle of forking starts again.

I agree with your reasoning. I wonder if the Medical Loss Ratios are no longer a necessity, and were needed at the time of ACA’s passage due lack of all the other rules such as being able to deny for pre existing conditions and maximum lifetime benefit amounts (opposite of out of pocket maximums).

However, since current profit margins are no where near 100% minus minimum medical loss ratios, I do not see how the existence of the minimum medical loss ratios would cause any MCO to be less incentivized to seek further efficiencies.
