I wrote Hacking Healthcare for O'Reilly and I've spent the bulk of my career as a CEO and senior executive operating large health systems. It is a meaningful step forward to have most of this data in the public sphere but I think it is still early and that a lot of work has to continue to shape and analyze this information in a way that is more meaningful and practical for patients.

Appreciate the complexity of billing codes, these are not created by hospitals but by by the American Medical Association, Center for Medicaid/Medicare and a soup of other organizations. There are tens of thousands of procedure and drug codes (things that are done or given) and tens of thousands of diagnostic codes (reasons justifying the procedure), creating a space well into the quadrillions of possible routine combinations. That's a large restaurant menu.

There are a number of other comments comparing hospital pricing to retail type interactions. It is also important to consider that hospital interactions involve unexpected and unknown things that aren't easily captured in a pricing context before you get there.

From an instution standpoint there are some bad apples but a lot of organizations that are not complying are not complying because they are facing technology and operational issues that are stopping them from complying. From the trenches in my consulting practice one example is an institution whose has a core element of their billing system, that is largely a black box even to them, using technologies that are decades old. Why would someone continue to rely on that? Because it has direct integration with critical partners and counterparties that was set up decades ago and that continues to work.

Replacing it is underway but is costing 8 figures and taking years. The potential fines are small relative to that and there isn't much they can do to comply in the immediate term anyway.

For context understand that Medicare billing routinely involved actual physical dial-up modems somewhere in the chain (even if it was invisible to you) until late 2018.
I’m not really a crypto fan. But it’s a really neat device. A cool tech that has a creative use of e-ink. Something I wouldn’t mind keeping in my pocket.

I thought it was hilarious and greatly enjoyed it.

When the subject matter is style, an opinionated tone of voice seems appropriate to me.
One thing I'd like to point out is that while it's incredible that ChatGPT was able to make this, it still required specific domain knowledge to correct the AI throughout to make sure it was actually responding in "Glorp" in the correct cases and clauses. I don't know a ton about those so they went completely over my head until the author responded saying that ChatGPT did it incorrectly.

Caveats aside, really cool article OP. Shared it with some writer/story teller friends of mine.
coincidentally i gave away my paper copy last night, six days after your comment and, as it turns out, 25 years after buying it
Hancock is very questionable in motives and methods (talks a lot about how he is suppressed rather than what he thinks is true)

But it’s true that narratives around past civilizations are controlled for political reasons

Eg in China the winners want to paint the picture that the way they govern is inevitable and mandated, when really there was a lot of diversity, experimentation, and violence

Including matriarchal societies!!

I recommend reading Dawn of Everything by graeber and wengrow for peer reviewed info on past, ignored, alternative civilizations

It does have an axe to grind but it’s a welcome contrast and asks good questions

You don’t need to invoke hypothetical pre ice age societies for any of this

However the book does give a good perspective on how much of history we simply don’t know, which leaves room for speculators like Hancock
> I remain puzzled about what precisely the author believes Christianity itself brings to the questions and life situations she is writing about, above and beyond what the simple act of being a self-aware human can.

I interpreted this essay as largely about the bonds that form within a tightly knit community, as well as how this larger community can support, enrich, and - ultimately - outlast the individual members.

For the author of this article, this social fabric happens to be constructed out of a shared religious faith, and I think this faith is essential to her essay.

I (an avowed atheist) would suggest that the secular world has failed to present reasonable alternatives to this (positive) aspect of such communities. I could never share the religious beliefs that these people have, but I remain ever envious of their sense of kinship which transcends both blood lines and geography.
First time I'm hearing about CXL. I was going to ask if GPU vendors could benefit from CXL to make GPU memory directly accessible? But I got my answer: NVIDIA has launched GPUDirect which does pretty much that without CXL.

I would guess that those 'flakes' in the paint make factory retouching far harder.

Is it possible that the lack of flake is a cost-cutting measure (by reducing the scrappage rate) rather than a style choice?
Shouldn't that work for any price you give them? It's literally a multiplication with a number they pull per-day as the conversion rate. That wouldn't change if the price wasn't one of "their" numbers...

> I would like to understand why Mastodon requires such a huge amount of hardware for mediocre traffic volumes.

There's some inherent overhead in a federated model (vs a single-source one), and the ActivityPub protocol Mastodon happens to use, wasn't necessarily designed to be the lightest possible thing in all use-cases.

Also, there's just a lot more traffic. My instance said, after Twitter's major struggles, they saw something like 30x more traffic and 20x more daily registrations. For instances that, prior to the influx, were running by volunteers in spare time out of people's bedrooms or small cheap VPS's and such.

These instances weren't necessarily ideally performance-tuned prior to the influx (and even if yours was, the remote ones your users might need to hit to fetch content from may not have been)
If I recall correctly, the more formal definition, would be too say that all who do not have a Y chromosome are female, everyone else is male. Note that no human has ever survived with less then 1 X chromosome. The real interesting part begins with people who possess more then 1 set of genes, split between there body. The it become a more philosophical question.
Not at all. These animals seems to have been treated very poorly.
Wow. This (especially the chat transcript) must be heavily edited, right? RIGHT? Please tell me it's edited for correctness..

Because this makes me both extremely in awe and also extremely uneasy at the same time...
I guess this goes some way to answering my thought,

> but it makes me wonder if there's a fundamental problem with the design of Mastodon.

I also note the article says,

> During the month of November we averaged 36.86 Mbps in traffic with samples taken every hour

That seems like a large amount of bandwidth to service 30,000 users (who knows what fraction of them are actually active at any given moment). But I guess there's going to be a lot of video and image content. I have tried searching all of their linked blog posts about scaling but can't find any number that might map to requests per second without making huge assumptions.
Every single one of these new colors screams "military" to me. That's not a negative or positive descriptor, to my mind; just the first word that pops into my head when I try and describe the trend.

My hope is that as more "legit" EVs are scrapped due to insurance total loss decisions, their guts and parts will be heavily in demand to power EV conversions.

I lost a 2018 Bolt EV this year after my insurance company decided it wasn't worth repairing. My car might not be the perfect candidate for this, but I know there will be parts worth scavenging off of it in the next life for the carcass.

I sure hope to be able to perform one of these conversions myself in the future once the broader "swap infrastructure" and knowledge bases expand to better support individuals like myself (similar to how you can find a wealth of knowledge and aftermarket support for Honda K-series engine swaps into many cars beyond even Honda models).
This still isn't that unique to the medical industry. What about software contracts? Sometimes things go over time/budget, but this scenario should be worked out beforehand. You don't tell a client "Sorry we had to bring in an outside consultant, so we'll be charging you 5x our agreed price."
Show HN: Codeium – a free, fast AI codegen extension
I'm Varun, CEO of Exafunction, and we just released Codeium to open up access of generative AI to all developers for free. In the spirit of Show HN, we created a playground version for anyone to try this tech in the browser (click Try in Browser)!

We have built scalable, low-latency ML infra for many top AI companies in the past, and we are excited to leverage that tech into a product that we, as developers, would love. We hope that you do too, and we would appreciate any feedback that this community has for us!
I phrased that wrong. I meant that they want to be important to the world in general (and the US), not specifically China.

"The law" is a thing that is going to be interpreted and enforced by a human judge, one who is likely going to frown upon a landlord's creative interpretation of it.

A judge's job is not to apply the law to the letter, but to the spirit. They are not going to throw their hands up when a tenant is kept out of their unit, no matter what the landlord might have decided to sneak in into the rental agreement: the law is there to protect the tenant.
No, just keep the cash.

> I feel that doing a regular software engineering job would be much easier and exciting because it's just a job and you can have other hobbies. But with AI, you have to read relevant papers on your spare time just to keep up.

Either you don’t know what it takes to be a decent software engineer these days or you are being a bit harsh. I’m a software engineer. I don’t read papers, sure, but I keep myself up to date every week/month reading books, doing side projects during working hours but also on my free time. Granted, I do so because I like it, though but it’s a necessary thing to do if you want to be good at your career.

Regarding your main question: forget about the noise. If you like what you do, keep doing it. If you are doing what you do just because of its employability, you already lost.
This looks neat, but even after reading their FAQ I don't understand the namesake feature -- why or when would I need more than one; and in that case, why is it a benefit that they snap together? I mean, is it just because it looks tidy/neat or is there a user story where this has additional value?

The issue here seems to be that Mozilla/Google/Microsoft are the ultimate trust authorities for TLS but that is not reflected in how things are structured. If Mozilla/Google/Microsoft certified the current root trust authorities then an OS could just download the whole mess from Mozilla/Google/Microsoft and could check the validity of them on their own taking into account any revocations.

> How about all the kids suddenly becoming trans?

Please do not repeat this right-wing talking point. It is a moral panic, and it causes real harm to kids who need genuine mental health support who are instead being dismissed as being part of a trend.

"all the kids" are not suddenly becoming trans - the incident rates in society are still extremely small.

All rises in incidents of transgenderism are easily explained by a more tolerant society accepting it. The same appeared when we stopped pathologizing left-handedness - all the kids didn't suddenly become left-handed, but the ones that were felt comfortable no longer hiding it.

And by and large, with some exceptions that get consistently magnified by those with an agenda, it is not something you can just do on a whim, and generally requires a lot of counselling and a lot of effort to pursue hormonal or surgical changes.

There are incidents of detransitioning and those that regret it. Those rates are lower than those that regret knee replacements.

Happy to answer any other questions if needed.
This means that for foreign customers of yours, your product will have constantly fluctuating price. I personally don't find that desirable.
Also, there is some considerations to be made for purchasing power especially for items like apps. $1 might be trivial in the US, but it may not be so in a third world country.

The neat thing about crypto hardware wallets, is that they're essentially just private key storage and signing devices. Even if you never want to touch any cryptocurrency, the ubiquity of these devices could be a huge enabler for expanded use of end to end encryption like PGP or for simple second factor authentication like yubikeys.

Of course, when you lock real money with it, the average person puts much more energy into ensuring good passcodes and backups.
You can always refuse to grant the permission when asked, and the app can always refuse to grant you access to your own apartment until you grant that permission.
Really neat idea, it would be even nicer if it suggested some domain name hacks with other TLDs other than .coms
Aren't they just a failed product at this point? They were building an application specific L2 and then full general purpose L2s have beat them to market. I know they are trying desperately to pivot but they have to be years behind at this point.

I Ctrl+v the first few questions:

Hi GPT! Today we're going to be creating our own language. Do not improvise unless I explicitly tell you to improvise, and remember all of the vocabulary and grammar that we define together. Are you ready?

Yes, I'm ready! Let's get started creating our own language. What would you like to do first?
Graham Kitteridge
Okay. I think this language will be spoken by slime beings. let's name the language Glorp.

All right. So the language we're creating is called Glorp and it will be spoken by slime beings. Got it. What kind of grammar rules should Glorp have?
Graham Kitteridge
First, let's pick ten common nouns. Pick ten common English nouns, and provide translations of them in Glorp

Sure! Here are ten common English nouns and their translations in Glorp:

"house" = "gluz"
"table" = "sliz"
"book" = "flurp"
"car" = "slim"
"dog" = "dlorp"
"cat" = "mlem"
"food" = "glib"
"drink" = "slurp"
"tree" = "swomp"
"flower" = "slurk"

These are just suggestions, of course. You can use any words you like for these nouns in Glorp. Let me know if you have any changes or additions.

They probably justify it morally by thinking they deserve more because they bring in the big sales and "do all the hard work". You could offer up some stock ownership for free to heal the relationship. Some people couldn't live like this and would rather burn it to the ground. So, depends on your position, goals and preferences etc.
It's definitely more interesting than the overwhelming majority of silver cars in the past 10 years, although I'd really like it if we had more colors in the roads (and used car lots)
This is a great example of how much more you can get done with tools like ChatGPT if you have a very sophisticated understanding both of how language models work AND of a specific subject area.

Another example of why I disagree with people who make fun of the idea of "prompt engineering" as a discipline.
Long time ago I used to work at Apple so not sure if it's still accurate.

But originally the App Store was leveraging their existing payment infrastructure e.g. the one they use for iPhone sales. Purchases and invoices were done through SAP which was manually configured to support those price points. It's why you saw weird behaviour e.g. invoices for free app "purchases" and largely the limitations of that system drove what they could and could not do.

Perhaps they've done an overhaul for this system or migrated to a custom built one which is what has enabled all of this new functionality.
That's not been my experience at all. Amazon has really pushed compensation up over the last 10 years and 50-60K (CAD or USD!) would be low for even a junior position in the companies I'm familiar with.

FWIW the local market is fairly bimodal; there are the FAANG companies and those who keep up with them, and there are some local companies that still pay peanuts. The gap between those two is large.
Is this self hostable? I couldn't find anything on the website or their github so I presume SaaS?
The first external password manager built into DuckDuckGo for Mac
No, when compared to the original. I played them side by side to be sure.
I agree. I do feel there is a double standard here. C gets away with using `->` and `^=` and `*foo.bar` mixes prefix and infix and postfix with hard to remember precedence rules; C uses `{` and `}` instead of `BEGIN` and `END` and no one bats an eye. But when lens libraries use operators, suddenly some people lose their mind.

I perfer `rec^.field` with operators in lens for the same reason I prefer `ptr^.field` in Pascal over hypothetically writing `ptr DEREFERENCE ACCESS field` or `ACCESS(DEREFERENCE(ptr),field). It lets me hide what is essentially just plumbing-like-grammer behind operators in order to let me focus of the parts of the program related to the business logic at hand, namely `rec`, `ptr` and `field`. Otherwise the plumbing tends to drown out the more important parts of what is going on.

DuckDuckGo, Google’s Tiniest, Fiercest Competitor (2014)
Thank you! On a rare occasion it would report taken as available; most often it reports domains that are for sale privately or at a high price as available because well, theoretically they are available, just not for a good price of $12, but something like 3 to 10 thousand dollars. I should find a way to filter those and perhaps mark them as "premium".
I think that would be better covered by a "one time purchase" option. Otherwise, you're asking for either a "starve the dev" category, or something shadier like "show all apps that monetize my location".
One reason they stopped doing that was because it made it too easy to make clones (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II_clones)

It was Apple Computer, Inc. v. Franklin Computer Corp. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Computer,_Inc._v._Frankl....) that led to the judgment that software stored in ROM was copyrightable in the US, requiring Phoenix Technologies to make a clean-room implementation of the BIOS of the IBM PC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Technologies#Cloning_t...)
This is completely believable. I spent about 5 minutes with it and got very similar results up to the vocab generation part:

not to diminish your success, but I've found similar results in the past. I think there's something about scarcity. As soon as one company knows another company wants you, all the sudden the 1st wants you now too. and if two other companies want you well, then you absolutely have to have that candidate. it's kinda messed up.

but, congratulations!
If they haven't cracked it by now, what do you figure the odds of the next couple billion doing it are?
Seriously, why can't they just write another article about how Elon Musk taking over Twitter is the end of the world?
