No.

Yes. But it should be done.

Also, there shouldn't be shortages of saline IV solution and bacteriostatic water -- but no one's rebuilding the factories destroyed by hurricanes in Puerto Rico because there's not "enough" of a shortage to make ROI on new factories.

Most medical supplies need to be moderately overproduced every year via subsidies just like our crops and basic foods are. Otherwise the rationality of the commodities markets will ensure there's constantly a light/partial shortage of basic healthcare goods like..."water".
For tests on prototype subsystems like a cooling system? Totally fair game

Live full production systems? Usually no one will be willing to risk the OSHA or ISO violations where critical failure affects safety. Or, if they do, that company won't last long
Here I describe the insanity of the debate community.
I use TLA+. Almost every system has some sort of safety property that needs to be guaranteed (bad things must never happen). A good many have liveness properties (something must eventually happen). Diagrams are well and good for documentation but tell you nothing about the specifications of the system.

I tried UML once but found it lacking.

When I’m writing documentation I like to use diagrams. Mermaid has served me well. It’s integrated into GitHub these days which is convenient. I’ve also used ditaa and graphviz to good effect. With org-mode and org-babel it’s quite easy to build executable documentation: take the query from a database to build a rough ER diagram with graphviz, a shell command on a jump box to get the data-plane hosts to build into a network diagram, etc.

Another interesting tool: https://github.com/moosetechnology/Moose I haven’t spent that much time with it but I learned enough to generate a dependency graph for a NodeJS project that was useful for planning refactoring work.

Update: Alloy is another nice modelling system. It has a built in visualization system as well. And the newest release, Alloy 6, has features to make liveness checking a whole lot easier and more powerful. The book, Software Abstractions, is also indispensable for general program design advice.
Given how many news stories there have been about people leaving the field due to the working conditions, low pay, and insurance red tape, it seems like getting rid of that enormous layer of inefficiency would do double duty both in terms of freeing up money for productive uses and not pushing experienced workers out.

Because I've been in the driver's seat of a tesla vehicle when it attempted to turn into oncoming traffic, color me skeptical. No reason for it to turn left, but started to crank the wheel left into oncoming traffic. It's dangerous to call that autonomous, precisely because of how good it "looks" from the outside. The closer people are to this, the more they'll trust it.

There are trade-offs, yes, but that's not really what I'm getting at. It's more that these machines require a huge and intricate supply chains (not to mention supply lines) to function. If anything were to cut them off they're going to be out of commission soon.
Yes, let's assume that physical world does not exist "per se", but only as a solution to some equations.

In this regard it is not different from any other possible world described by a different sets of equations (hello Mr Eagn!), and is somehow similar to worlds that are described less formally, like fiction.

But the second hypothesis is not refuted by that approach. The world as well may be impossible to describe with a language, with any model smaller than the world itself. Any language then is an approximation, guaranteed to be inadequate past certain bounds, possibly pretty narrow. Two perfectly infallible reasoning agents, free of delusions and logical fallacies, may come up with two fundamentally incompatible languages approximating the world, both somehow adequate within certain bounds, like practical living existence, and impossible to ever translate to each other.
Copilot is the calculator for a new age. In spite of everything my math teacher warned me about, if I am in a situation where I do not have immediate access to a calculator, I am not in a situation where I need to do quick math. We make determinations all the time about what amount of technology assistance is "ok" and what isn't and it usually correlates to what the educator had access to as a child. That's kind of weak, if you ask me. We need to stop pretending we're educating most people to live in a world that won't have immediate access to technology.

We can always flag topics that don't follow the guidelines. From the guidelines:

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

I don't understand this. Are you saying everyone just lets the bills for the deductible go to debt collections?
Love it. Pizza Hut slices also worked well for eating with a fork and knife cuz they were thick and crunchy.

Been meaning to try Kenji’s pan pizza recipe. Thanks for jogging my memory.
I have found it to be the opposite. If I walk into whatever random pizza shop happens to be nearby I’m always taken aback out how often it’s … ok.

There’s a lot of good pizza to be found but even more if it is just ok. Mind you I mean ok in the literal sense, and don’t mean it’s bad. But a lot of people make it seem like every street corner has amazing pizza. But that’s just not true

This is a human comfort thing, not a reason thing. As someone else in this discussion said if computers do something that looks stupid to people, they won’t trust it.

What if the investigation here showed the Tesla was 100% correct to do what it did?

What it did is so odd I wouldn’t want to trust it. Maybe the problem is it needs to fail in a more human-like way?

If the death numbers get low enough, I think it will likely speak for itself and people will trust it. But it can’t be a 30% reduction in deaths. It needs to be like 95%.

Enough that it feels safer instead of questionable/dangerous. Even if it was actually safer the entire time.
> It's okay to prefer working with people (particularly managers) who speak your language natively. Labeling or shaming this preference is wrong, and counterproductive.

This is a fair take. As you say, when this is labelled as 'nepotism' (as was done below), I take issue with it. It happens everywhere worldwide: Chinese prefer Chinese, Indians prefer Indians, etc etc.

As for Indian diversity and caste-based discrimination, I think that's an entirely different matter.

For the record, a majority of the Indians indirectly or directly mentioned in the article are South Indian Brahmin (Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, Raja Koduri, Indra Nooyi, Vasant Narasimhan, Sowmyanarayanan Sampath, Jayathi Murthy; heck, even Kamala Harris' mother is Brahmin).
Medical resources will always be limited. There is no way to get around the fact that people are willing to spend nigh infinite amounts of money staying alive a little longer. There is no way around rationing. You either ration through the free market like in the 3rd world, ration via time like in Canada and England or do both like in the US.

Even with zero greed in the system we would still have to ration things.

I'd argue that we are not currently 'fighting greed' at all. The US healthcare system is not capable of prioritizing anything. It's a mishmash of corporate and government entities hobbled by regulation with no clear entity in charge.

> Obamacare dramatically increased deductibles, in the name of providing "coverage" to everyone. What ends up happening is people don't pay the deductive.

What does this mean? The Affordable Care Act did not directly increase deductibles. It even provided huge subsidies from the young and healthy to the poor and old via age rating factors, restricting of pricing criteria (removal of pre existing conditions exclusions), and implementation of out of pocket maximums.

> 2: Gut employer healthcare. Just give everyone cash (in a tax controlled way) that can only pay for healthcare. In a two person household they can pool the cash and it should be enough to pay for coverage, with complete competition. People with lower income would automatically receive subsidies that would help.

This was a non starter during Affordable Care Act negotiations due to upper middle class people being up in arms about their premiums going up due to being in the same risk pool as poorer and sicker people.

There's a pretty good NYC style pizza place in Maui and it tastes exactly the same.
Driving in traffic (or in a city in general) with my foot off the pedals sounds borderline insane. I know this is anecdotal, but I've experienced multiple brands slamming on the brakes. You must be prepared to intervene.

It's not a Tesla problem. I think we hyper-focus on Tesla because their system is the best. This is a problem for all automated driving systems (even the basic ones found in almost all brands now.)
In the USA its all about the money. Those "political forces" are not a grassroots movement, people in the street demanding insurance-based healthcare.

No, it's well organizes, very well paid, lobbying on behalf of a profit-based health system. A system that generates lots of profits for nice big companies.

And make no mistake, they're not going to roll over.

And sure, doctors are depressed because they're finally coming to realise that medical care (in the US) is not about "helping sick people" (despite their good intentions.)

Doctors and nurses set out with the noblest goals, then find themselves inside a system where the one true goal is to separate people from their money. They rile against "adminustrators" while at the same time failing to note that those administrators are the _reason_ for yhd business, and actual doctoring is just medical janitoring.

Yay free markets!
YES this exactly. I'd gladly pay, but because my account is under the student developer pack it won't give me the option. Let's hope they get this fixed soon.
Now with this article memorized one could answer this question with rote memorization.

However most people are unlikely to have done that.

Instead if someone can provide a good answer they are demonstrating a deep understanding.
That is far too simple, as if citizens voting made a difference. Today, single-payer systems are overwhelmingly popular in the US, but one has yet to be implemented. The political corruption (known as "campaign contributions" which is "free speech" in the US after the citizens united decision) ensures that it won't happen, despite it being overwhelmingly positive in polling year after year on both sides of the aisle.

> And who suddenly made it a contest about where there's more better pizza?

But this is a thread about pizza. It’s a guy who tried 400 slices of pizza. You think he only tried 400 slices because his kids played on a little league team? So that’s my take. In no way am I saying Williamsburg is objectively better than Bay Ridge in all aspects of life (if anything I’d say the opposite I’d probably never live in Williamsburg), which for some reason you took from my post. I’m saying the pizza tastes better to a person who doesn’t have an emotional attachment to some other place.

> It's all over the city, but folks like you gotta make lists.

You seem very confused about the post you’re commenting on. It’s a list. I mean, it’s a map, but for all intents and purposes it’s a list. It doesn’t capture anything that you seem to care about when it comes to slice shops. It actually only seems to note price which is perhaps the shallowest metric out there.

Also yeah, Ill go ahead and say elmhurst has better food than Bensonhurst just to see what your reaction is lol.
I don't have experience with your kinematics book, and have some limited exposure to machinery's handbook. My impression of the latter is that it is good and highly regarded, but perhaps more on the Practical fabrication side then engineering Theory.
Last year the Tarim Basin mummies were sequenced and the findings go against the idea they were Tocharians[0]. Still, an absolutely fascinating topic and I recommend reading about Indo-European to anyone interested in linguistics(or programming languages) just because the ideas used and what can be gleaned from them are very interesting.

> … it isn't particularly closely related to Sanskritic languages, nor to Western Indo-European languages (Greek, Latin, Germanic, Slavic).

This is actually an interesting and rather subtle point! The IE languages are usually divided into two groups: the *centum and *satem languages. Originally PIE had three different kinds of plosive phonemes, usually notated *k *ḱ *kʷ; centum descendants such as Latin and Germanic merged PIE *ḱ into *k while leaving *kʷ separate, whereas satem descendants such as Slavic and Indo–Iranian languages merged *kʷ into *k while leaving *ḱ separate. You may note that this seems very much like an east/west division, with centum languages in the west and satem languages in the east. It was thus proposed that PIE split early on into two languages, one of which underwent centumisation and the other satemisation.

However, the discovery of Tocharian changed this situation: Tocharian was the easternmost of all early IE languages, yet was a centum language! Thus, the theory had to be abandoned. We now think that neither centum nor satem languages form particularly closely-related groups; rather, the various groups each independently underwent centumisation or satemisation, though probably with some influence from neighbouring languages too.
Veteran doc and health services executive here. Three recommendations to improve your overall healthcare experience as a patient.

Number one recommendation: spend $$$ on a concierge primary care doc. Depending on your market can be anywhere from $1,500 to $15,000 per year. Why? Concierge doc will help you triage your problems, give you great access, keep you out of the hospital/ER, and help you cut through red tape if you need to engage the system.

Number two recommendation: seek care in facilities in high-income communities with relatively small general hospitals (i.e. Greenwich Hospital in CT) UNLESS you need tertiary/quarternary care. Why? Much better staffing. Much less riff-raff common people stuff (i.e. like homelessness) and much higher patient expectations about quality of care.

Number three recommendation: pay up for/seek out a cadillac insurance plan from a high quality insurer like Aetna or United with a low deductible (not high) and low copays. Why? Makes the patient experience much better on the back end with much less paperwork if you do engage the system.

Yes, I understand that I'm saying "be rich", but if you can afford any of the three recommendations above your healthcare experience will be MUCH better.
Since it's a highway, the car would have been operating on autopilot, not FSD. The two stacks had not, and I think still have not been merged.
I think a calculator is very very different from an AI tool.

With a calculator you still had to have enough knowledge to properly input any formulas. In school you were also still forced to learn the fundamentals with less featured calculators.

Also a calculator was an accepted tool once you are out of school. AI tools like copilot are still controversial within the industry and have no business being in education.
And here is the whole problem. It’s not good UX.
In cases like in the example given, I would also consider using a generated column (based on the CASE expression, in the example). That way the CTE doesn’t need to be repeated on each affected query — any query on the table can directly reference the derived value. Of course, this approach is only applicable for row-based values of a single table, and requires you to be able to modify the schema to add the generated column.
I am assuming it is Delhi-NCR in India. I got a chance to use BluSmart this week. I am impressed. The driver was courteous and the cab quality was good compared to the abused vehicles used by Uber drivers in India.

- Also no surge pricing. Pricing is fixed by a rate chart based on KM travelled.

The only issue right now is availability. From Delhi airport it is OK but when I tried to book one from the hotel to a friend's place the earliest availability was after 4 hours whereas Uber was 5 mins.
Let's say we send 10,000 probes out, each weighing 1,000kg at 10% the speed of light out into the Milky Way. We would do this with the sole intention of destroying an entire planet once we find any hint of even bacterial life? There isn't enough time to phone home to decide what to do with this information, so the probe would have to decide for itself whether or not to commit immediate genocide.

How could any government possibly convince their citizens that this is the best use of trillions of tax dollars (if not quadrillions of dollars), not to mention how can we create a 1,000kg device that can categorically annihilate an entire planet? If the Dark Forest theory is indeed true, why haven't we seen evidence of such galactic levels of destruction? The Milky Way has been around for over 10 billion years. Surely by then there must've been at least one civilization advanced enough to do this in that time. Yet we see no evidence for this whatsoever.

The more you spell this out, the more absurd it becomes from any practical perspective.

Honestly I didn't lay in a bed in the hallway when the shot's mycarditis got triaged as "might be a heart attack". And as for who pays, well that dose cost me $3000[2] and my insurance another $20000, good thing I didnt take an ambulance there.
But I guess I should be honored to pay it in the name of social contract and social good. The government gave free vaccines, but didn't own up to the expensive part. I'm all for saving the lives of the elderly at the cost of the young... in vampire movies. But, in real life the boomers should at least have had the decency to at least cover the cost -- something they easily can afford to do[1]

I think the hard part is knowing when someone will die. There are plenty of 80 year olds in heart surgery who make it through and live to almost 100. There's people like Monty Oum who die young to an allergic reaction.

I found it interesting that the plots always seemed to match the scripts, stereotypes and cinematography styles of the eras that the plots occur in. That's what stood out more to me.

Yes, the dialogue in Crystal Skull wasn't the greatest but it didn't really take away the fun for me.

I remember when Siskel & Ebert (the original Siskel and Ebert) reviewed The Last Crusade in 1989, Siskel gave a thumbs-down because the father-son relationship wasn't believable. Ebert's response was, to paraphrase, this is an Indiana Jones movie, not a real-life drama.
I don't think it was mild, they more or less implied I was an asshole at work because they didn't like a single adjective I used years after the fact.

Sure the phrasing was gentle, but the actual statement was quite offensive, presumptuous, and prudish.
