And there’s nothing wrong with that, but, I’ve seen some devs these days spend waaay too much time on “making it simpler” or whatever their ideal is, at the cost of error handling or you know, solving an actual problem. Personally, I don’t care what the code looks like as long as it’s resilient in the face of unexpected errors (ex: a user input of 0 to a division function is not “exceptional,” you should have anticipated that, while a service input of the same may be a breach of contract between the services and IS exceptional) and actually solves a problem.

6000 hospitals x say around 10000 priced items, on average, per hospital x 100 different negotiated pricing formulas = 6 trillion unique prices.

Of course many hospitals negotiate en bloc as part of a healthcare network, and there probably are more than 100 different organizations that negotiated unique healthcare pricing but the ballpark number seems to make sense.
Nintendo was a century-old family business making some of the best playing cards in Japan; when the old CEO was about to pass the baton to his descendent, the latter took a trip to the world headquarters of Bicycle, the biggest playing-card manufacturer in the world, and was shocked to see it was like two floors of a generic office building, and decided immediately to pivot the company into a bigger pond.

For profit Health insurance is a scam.

It´s like if you signed a contract to pay Netflix a monthly fee to eventually watch a movie, and for some reason Netflix profit would be based on you watching as little as possible. They would do all in their power to minimize the amount of content you could really watch. Unaligned objectives. And the problem is that unlike Netflix, Health Insurance (at least in the USA) is inelastic: You MUST pay for it.

Do GPUs even saturate PCIe3 x16 or x8 connections, let alone PCIe4 or 5, that we need to be worried about bottlenecks?

The only thing I'm aware of that will actually saturate a PCIe connection is NVME storage.
As someone who's worked on the provider side in different capacities, I can tell you that there could be tremendous value on the provider side.

It's entirely possible that two surgeons with offices next to each other could be getting reimbursed at wildly different rates for their most common procedures for their most common procedures by the same provider.

If you're that provider, you ABSOLUTELY want to know what the surgeon next door is getting paid the next time your group is negotiating with the insurance provider.

It would take serious software changes before that became a benefit. If every unoptimized Electron app (but I repeat myself) were writing its memory leaks straight to permanent storage my computer would never work again.
Cool. I've always found these anti-smoking government actions to be disingenuous. The government runs campaigns to discourage smoking with one hand and with the other raises taxes on cigarettes. Why not just ban nicotine and tobacco products outright?

You could also get an issue with x87/MMX where floating point code wouldn't work if you wrote some MMX code and didn't do an `emms` instruction afterward.

This is basically the reason compiler autovectorization doesn't do MMX.
Yeah, that would do it. :D My work PC is currently using 8.4GB with outlook, Excel and note pad open!
Latency may be similar but:

1. Pretty sure IO depth is as high as OSes can make it so small depth only happens on a mostly idle system.

2. Throughput of NVMe is 10x higher than SATA. So in terms of “time to read the whole file” or “time to complete all I/O requests”, it is also meaningfully better from that perspective.

There's a difference between something still existing and something still being a problem.

The reason it was a problem on spinning disks, was that the delay in getting the next bit of data highly depended on where it was relative to the previous bit. With SSDs (as I understand it) looking up any bit of data is (just about?) independent of where it is located.

So, it's still a thing - but the cure (involving lots of wear) is a lot worse than the disease now.

I'll take cheaper flash any day but when you start talking about making RAM obsolete the metric will be latency not bandwidth. I can already stick e.g. 4x PCIe 4 NVMe drives into a x16 slot or a 32 into an AMD server and beat whatever the RAM bandwidth and cost/GB will be it's just not very useful to do so so nobody really does it as a RAM replacement.

Put your resume online and interview for jobs? If you have actual development experience, this should go rather quickly, tailor your resume to that.

If you're worried about age discrimination, remove all but the last 3 jobs from your resume, remove school graduation dates (or considering removing schools altogether) so you don't look old.

We're in a world-wide economic time of uncertainty. Personally, I would keep my current gig until things normalize somewhat.
I chat with/hold doors for everyone I encounter. I said custodial staff here because that was the thesis of the original article. No one's "in need of it" in any sense other than most people benefit from social interaction and being acknowledged.
> Encoding data in cell formatting is questionable practice.

"Let's force the user to employ data-management best practices" is, for better or for worse, very much not the design philosophy of Excel. (More to the point, if you must consume the data that someone else produces, then you'd like very much to be able to deal with their less-than-best practices.)
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, but this is exactly correct. Universal healthcare != public healthcare.

One paid feature that can be very important is designating emergency access contacts. A family member had a stroke last year (doing much better now) and one thing that made life much easier was having access to his passwords - in this case because I'd set him up with Keepass years ago and still had the password saved.

Yes - you can effortlessly lease a 128G RAM cloud VM today if you need one. I distinctly remember that in 2010 8G server was "big box" whereas in 2013 having 32G became commonplace. That's the RAM saturation point.
I was a flight instructor and am now a software engineer, plus I've made a daily checklist app. So I think I'm at least qualified to throw out some opinions on this.

It's not a software engineering challenge. The minimal features are textbook basic CRUD. The essential UI will be well-supported by any framework. Even the challenges when you branch out are solved problems. Device sync, sharing, backups, etc all have some off-the shelf solution or are solved in another space you can look at.

It's a product design / UX / whatever you want to call it problem. Within the set of choices that are easily available to you in the software engineering world, you have to make the right ones! Most people won't naturally make good checklists. How do you help them? One of the biggest (maybe single biggest) issues with checklist is using them at all. How do you get compliance up? How do you handle "skipping" items? Do you go with read/do or do/confirm? How do you keep checklists up-to-date (critical for emergency checklists). It would be very easy to get this stuff wrong.

It also hits a weird spot in the market. What would people pay for this? I don't think you hit enough users for "free" and then my guess is it's a really weird curve with some people paying $1 and then a minority paying like a lot ($100?). I don't know, that's a total guess. Just bringing this up to cover "why isn't a company already doing this?".

Not to be discouraging! Just don't take it as a software engineering challenge. If you're experienced and working on your home turf, it will be easy. The hard thing will be making the right easy thing. Best way to do that is to solve your own problem btw. Maybe start with a "I crashed the server" checklist or something.

If anyone wants to take a stab, the essay that the book "The Checklist Manifesto" is based on would be a good start. The book itself is a bit verbose, but would be worth it if you get serious. I'd also chat for 30 minutes or answer random questions for anyone who's going to make something. My email is my last name at gmail.
I'm trying to do the same myself. I've identified big things we need to be looking at and lots of low hanging fruit that will help out a lot. I take on projects I want and try to avoid the kind of work that is less interesting to me, or areas where the company is already strong. It isn't always easy, but as you get more valuable and knowledgeable, you often get more leeway.
Agreed, but I can’t control half the sheets I interact with.

But if what you want is automatic FMA, then why carry along every other possible behavior with it? Just because you want FMA, suddenly NaNs are turned into Infs, subnormal numbers go to zero, handling of sin(x) at small values is inaccurate, etc? To me that's painting numerical handling in way too broad of strokes. FMA also only increases numerical accuracy, it doesn't decrease numerical accuracy, so bundling it with unsafe transformations makes one uncertain now whether it has improved or decreased accuracy.

For reference, to handle this well we use MuladdMacro.jl which is a semantic transformation that turns x*y+z into muladd expressions, and it does not recurse into functions so it does not change the definitions of the callers inside of the macro scope.

https://github.com/SciML/MuladdMacro.jl

This is something that will always increase performance and accuracy (performance because muladd in Julia is an FMA that is only applied if hardware FMA exists, effectively never resorting to a software FMA emulation) because it's targeted to do only a transformation that has that property.
That's right, communism. Social security in France is literally a communist system, founded by a communist minister. Hence why neoliberals want to destroy it.
> who still called hard drive space "memory"

I mean, “memory” in the computer sense is by analogy t memory in the brain sense, which is used for both short and long term storage (and I’d argue more commonly for long term storage). It therefore doesn’t seem unreasonable to me for people to call a computers long term storage it’s “memory”. The function of a hard drive is to remember things.

C'mon, everyone. This is a comment on Reddit, used here as clickbait. It's just someone's opinion, probably written off the cuff without much thought or additional research. If the traffic in the photo were on I-280 North, it wouldn't be backed up to Highway 85. Wrong direction.

I would be more interested in hearing about traffic on CA-85 North and I-280 North towards Cupertino. I suspect the vast majority of Apple employees are living in homes to the South and East.
> Switzerland has very strictly and non-deniable obligatory minimum (very broad in coverage) insurance

So does the US: https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/minimum-essential-covera...

> there are treatments and operations (e.g. congenital defects and invalidity-related) that are directly billed to the public social insurance (funded by salary deductions) to help health insurances reduce their risk.

> Switzerland's compulsory private health insurance is nothing comparable to other countries' private insurance. There is "additional private insurance" in Switzerland (covering alternative medicine treatments, access to single bed rooms in hospitals, etc.) which do operate as private insurances elsewhere.

You're mistaken, Switzerland has no centralized social insurance — it is fully privatized (for real medicine as well as alternative medicine), and is decentralized among its Cantons. It's just that the private Swiss insurers tend to be non-profits (same holds true for the US, e.g. Blue Cross, Kaiser, etc) and the for-profit insurers' profits are heavily capped/regulated (same holds true for the US).
Is there a real-time map?
blockchains, likely.
No, but I think the point here is that part of the cause of the terrible commute is so many other people having a job that requires them to come into the office on that shitty infrastructure. Shitty infrastructure isn't something you can snap your fingers and fix, but companies that were fully remote for the past 2 years can certainly stay or go back to being fully remote. It's not a full solution by any means; indeed, it's a bit like putting a bandaid on a shotgun wound, but it stops some of the bleeding right now.

OTOH, you certainly could argue that SWEs and other well-paid professionals who are inconvenienced by a terrible commute are incredibly privileged and need to get in line behind those experiencing real societal issues, but that's a completely different argument altogether.
Interestingly enough, the LEONv3 architecture also underlies the SkyTraq Venus8 GPS/GNSS chips, which are in the Navspark arduino-compatible modules, which means there's a really, really accessible toolchain for 'em. Just add the board support URL to the IDE, and voila, you're building for LEON.

The NavSpark Mini is still $36 for a 6-pack, making it one of the cheapest uCs with a floating-point unit. (The ESP32 technically has one, but its performance is inexplicably poor.)

I'm not clear on whether SkyTraq's chips have all the error-correcting goodies that're in other LEON implementations; would those be baked in by default?

Is there any concrete evidence that gain-of-function research actually increases preparedness for pandemics? It seems like the benefits are all still very hypothetical? Considering it would need to prevent a massive pandemic just to break even at this point, perhaps it's time to throw in the towel.

That assumes you can do multiple divisions in parallel. Back in the good old days, a single division unit was the norm, and it still is on most microcontrollers (assuming they even have hardware floating-point division[1]).

Anyone have any references on how the current state of affairs on modern AMD/Intels?

[1]: ARM Cortex-M4 for example can have a hardware FPU, but where division and sqrt are optional, see https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102832/latest/
The M1 is absurdly better than Intel Macs about swapping, I think because of the giant caches. I never have memory issues on my 8gb M1 Mac Mini, but my work 16gb Intel Macbook runs into memory slowdowns as soon as it launches Slack, a browser, and an IDE at the same time.
Naming options (or methods or projects) "fast" or "faster" is dangerous; either they're broken, or some day they'll turn out to not be fast anymore.

IIRC Swift changed -Ofast to -Ounchecked after I complained about it.
Is it really the same standard of care? I would speculate that the standard of care in the US is at least marginally higher than many other developed countries based on my admittedly anecdotal experience, especially if you plug wait times for providers into the calculation (this seems to be the number one complaint that comes from people I've met that have immigrated to the US).
You seem to want to play a guessing game.
I'm hard-pressed to understand why someone at your level takes things as they are.

If something's wrong, why not fix it? Wouldn't that be better for you and for people in positions like yours, and everyone around you who is also suffering?

When you get to emotions as strong as "hate" and judgments as wide as "every minute of it", it's likely the proximal problem is you. You're triggered and don't know clearly what bothers you.

Coding and design problems are tractable even when the problem is large. You get used to success. Organizational problems can also be tractable, but often they are not, regardless of scale or complexity. This makes them very, very frustrating, particularly to those used to success.

You might develop better insight using analogies to organic systems. E.g., how to kill something that's growing out of control? (like cancer: poison, burn, cut, or tag). How to mitigate toxicity? (Wall it off.) How to handle complex decisions in urgent situations? (segregate system-1 quick heuristics from system-2 analytics)

Think in organic systems because it is like maintenance programming: you don't have the option to do the right thing (and kill the golden goose); you have to make do. Only the founders get a greenfield experience at building management culture; everyone else through successive generations of the company has to spin straw into gold.

In management you will die if you just reflect and respond to the needs around you, or reinforce or oppose the groupthink. Managing amidst the chaos is the opposite of being the responsive IC delivering value to the customer. You have to go into your own space, get your own zen calm, and discover the one point of leverage you want to attack. Then build defenses for everything else, and attack that point as gently and skillfully as you can, using the suffering of the problem itself as your super-power. If it's really bad, then everyone will embrace your solution.

Have faith.
If you were correct in this assertion, then there would not be a malware epidemic.

The security properties are ultimately why we invested in WebAssembly. We (Fastly; the author is my colleague) run very large numbers of WebAssembly modules, all in the same process where the plaintext HTTP requests and responses from very large numbers of our customers reside, without needing to trust the authors of those modules. There are many technologies for running untrusted code out there, and we picked WebAssembly because we can make it fast in all the ways this article details without compromising on security.

Stay tuned, the next article in this series on Wasmtime security will run next Tuesday.
Does "write-only permissions" somehow imply they can't overwrite the backup with an encrypted copy? I don't understand how read permissions would allow them to delete or replace something.
Theoretical physics
I visited Szeged in 1987. Szeged is sort of the Boston of Hungary, thick with universities. Ironically, I went on an AFNOR (US Air Force research) Star Wars grant to present about GaAs defects. Iron Curtain countries were especially interested in defects because their semiconductors were full of them, and they hoped to find ways to make things work anyway.

I couldn't follow any of the other papers at the conference I was at, so I went for a walk, found a biology conference, and breezed in. An American woman was presenting results of applying a varying magnetic field to beetle larvae, leading them to grow 4x normal size. This kind of work was effectively forbidden in the US at the time, so results could only be presented at foreign conferences.

The official line in the US at the time, and in many parts still, was that the only possible way for EM fields to affect tissue was through heating. That assumption is written into numerous official standards and regulations. Cell phone radiation is still evaluated solely that way, carefully avoiding e.g. modulating the radiation, as would be needed to produce actually meaningful results. The valid experiment is performed on the general public, instead.

Robert Becker (of "The Body Electric") somehow got a free pass, working for the US Veterans Administration. They probably hoped he would discover how to stimulate regeneration of severed body parts. I have never found out who forbade such research or how they enforced it. I can guess the stricture had to do with preventing political interference with building high-tension transmission lines and maybe radars in populated areas, but that doesn't suggest how they enforced it.

Michael Levin has picked up and has extended Becker's work. And made absolutely astonishing YT vids about it.
