Free obviously /s, because people dont understand basic economics and are either delusional it will be cheaper in a monopoly (socialized) (assuming you even have the choice to die at home with it) or want to imagine people working for free like doctors and nurses.

That being said the corruption in the us system is insane, insurance companies being protected by regulations against competition, big pharmas regulatory capture and media control, etc.

The answer is a more competitive marketplace, including non profits. Not a eu socialized model.
Finally, a take on chatgpt and similar LLMs I agree with!

I've criticized it whenever it gets brought up as an alternative for academic research, coding, math, other more sophisticated knowledge based stuff. In my experience at least, it falls apart at reliably dealing with these and I haven't gone back.

But man, is it ever revolutionary at actually dealing with language and text.

As an example, I have a bunch of boring drama going on right now with my family, endless fucking emails while I'm trying to work.

I just paste them into chat gpt and get it to summarize them, and then I get it to write a response. The onerous safeguards make it so I don't have to worry about it being a dick.

Family has texted me about how kind and diplomatic I'm being and I honestly don't even really know what they're squabbling about, it's so nice!
It’s always weird to me that we’re living in the only time in thousands of years where we don’t have royalty in most societies. You could have been born in any place in any time since human civilization started and you would likely have some form of nobility ruling over you.

But it's trickling in small chunks at a time unless you are just smashing tab repeatedly and don't look at what it did until the very end. You can also not accept what it offers and just continue writing code for yourself. If a dev submitted a bunch of Copilot code they don't understand and can't answer questions about you reject the PR outright and they eventually realize it didn't save them any time or effort. Copilot isn't the employee.
I wonder how big the CSS file is. It stands to reason that the longer the site is up the longer the CSS file gets and the longer it takes to load the page. I wouldn't be surprised if the size of the CSS file was ludicrous at this point.

24h at home care isn't covered anywhere except with really expensive private insurance. In most European countries the family either covers the burden financially or they do it themselves. This post is more entitlement than anything else.
If you're suggesting my taxes should pay someone's rent and practically private medical care, you've got something else coming.

I don’t quite agree. Universal Healthcare isn’t a blank cheque. My grandmother had a similar story in Canada. The public system wouldn’t have paid for all the advanced in-house care. It would tell her to move into a nursing home somewhere and still wouldn’t cover all of that either.

She was fortunate enough to afford the constant care and was basically employing a full-time nurse. That adds up.
I don't think that follows, necessarily. Chess has an unfathomable amount of states. While the LLM might be able to play chess competently, I would not say it has learned chess unless it is able to judge the relative strength of various moves. From my understanding, an LLM will not judge future states of a chess game when responding to such a prompt. Without that ability, it's no different than someone receiving anal bead communications from Magnus Carlsen.

> So again - without talking about the actual data in the requests (and not just a dns record...) this isn't really a helpful conversation to have.

I'm not fucking speculating. I'm saying DNS records are a trash excuse for actually looking at the data. If they want to make spurious claims - the burden of proof lies firmly with them.

In the mean time:

> Then there shouldn't be any requests.

I literally just told you why they're making these requests... they're fetching data to display on widgets related to local news and weather, and they're tracking their install numbers.

You can bitch and moan about that - but they're very clear that they're doing it at install time, and most times you can opt out.
In an era long gone, on systems without a GUI/copy+paste/etc there were all sorts of silly tricks, lots involving ASCII codes. One thing was naming a directory with one or more " "s. That's not a space character but ASCII code 255 (hold alt, press 255 on your numpad). The directory would (and does - this still works on modern OSs) appear as a blank. And so how does one access a directory with no name? Obviously these things were really easy to get by, but in an era before the internet such little tricks had a really long shelf life.
Correct, society has definitely changed with women now in the workforce and the velocity(?) of people moving from where they grew up. I know my family has scattered after high school and had no intentions of returning home. Difficult for parents to relocate to children after living life in one community all their life.

Different experiences, I guess. I’m a low end, part-time hobbyist programmer, and for me at least 75% of my time is spent essentially typing in obvious, easily-checked code. It has been a game changer for me. It’s also led me to write better comments, because rather than being a pure tax, they improve the generated code.

I can see how someone who’s always working on sophisticated, mentally challenging code would get less benefit and would see more frequent errors.
Is it not reasonable to recognize that the majority of popular references to science fall into the logical fallacy category of an appeal to authority, where literate people recognize this as a ploy, and therefore respond to it as the patronizing provocation it is?

We know that the official narratives of pandemic response included blatant and even malicious falsehoods designed to create social pressure and nudges for a percieved greater good, and do policymakers and scientists really think that this should come with impunity? Scientists and policymakers were wrong - a lot - and if they want to keep doubling down on antagonizing the people whose trust they have lost, they should probably game it out a bit first.

> Is there a more legitimate argument for why they're similar other than "hype" or am I missing something?

The tech industry runs on hype, so much so that analysts are told to evaluate them separately. Growth now, profit later, here's $2bn from Softbank, yada yada yada.

Companies like Theranos specifically positioned themselves as 'tech' so as to escape press scrutiny, particularly in sensitive industries like healthcare.

Emperors with no clothes can get very far; see Brian Armstrong and SBF (pre-collapse, but still not in jail). Can you imagine how far a well-funded AI hustler could get?

> Do you have the luxury of choosing in your country or does the government choose for you?

I'm unsure where this belief originates from, but it's not true that state provided care is the only care in countries that offer it. There's very few places on earth where money cannot be used to improve quality of care: the state guarantees provision of a minimum level of care, rather than impose a limit on the maximum.
Employment usually peaks just before a recession, along with denial of course.

Thanks for sharing this!

I'm a networking amateur, and one thing I've struggled to figure out is VLANs for wireless devices. It seems like VLANs are managed at switch level, so does that mean that all devices on a particular AP have to share the same VLAN? Or is there a way to segregate devices across multiple VLANs within a single AP?
The public trust is fragile thing.
Once that trust is broken revolutions are inevitable.

I fear the whole tech idea "move fast and break things" bled into society, and has caused a lot of irreversible damage.

At my firm, the executive class are extraordinary distrustful of every expert lately from economics,finance, tech, and even science. These are people with multiple high level degrees like mba, phds, and masters!

The claim is that this $16,200 monthly cost was cheaper than the alternative. So it's not entirely silly to include rent in this figure.
I think the summarisers are going to be valuable. As a Kagi subscriber I'm looking forward to them integrating their AI labs demo that was showcased recently. There's certainly potential for search to become an order of magnitude better over the next few years.

The issue I see with the chat approach is trust. I've seen so many examples of these models just making shit up now that I reckon regular use of them will eventually lead to mistrust between the human and the chat-bot. If you can't trust the answers and have to go and check yourself, it's dead as an idea IMHO.
Well said. It is a mistake to anthropomorphize large language models; they really hate that.

> Just throwing it out there, in europe do they hire a full-time, round the clock nurse, plus monitors and medicine for end of life care?

You could do that. I have seen it before, back in Spain. It is expensive, but not $13,000 a month.

It would not make much sense to pay this much, when nurses themselves make, on average, a small fraction of that.
This comment (and many others) make me think most people are not reading the article. This isn't about someone dying at home. This article is about prolonged end-of-life 24hr care at home.

OP's grandmother had a team of support people giving her medication, changing diapers, monitoring equipment for an undisclosed period of months.

No where in Europe is 24hr support available for free in your own home. That simply isn't scalable.

Moreover, it should be noted that none of the family was willing to do this - so they were forced hire outside care.

The US healthcare system isn't great - but this article smells like spoiled rich people annoyed that they have to pay for rich-people-level service themselves.
I've seen people use Squid and Apache to cache packages. It takes a bit of tweaking and a lot of ram/disk space but not as much disk space as mirroring the entire repositories.

In my opinion it is far better for CI systems to just cache entire approved repositories and make sure none of the environments can reach the public repositories, ever. Assuming enough disk space this has the advantage of being able to create point-in-time snapshots on all of the repos which is quite handy for validating a point-in-time OS/Application update rather than trying to pin specific package versions, package-by-package. This allows validating a snapshot e.g. 202302091447_UTC and then promoting it to mirrors in a load testing environment, then the load testing team can promote it to a staging environment then the operations or devops teams can promote it to production. This also allows for more time to scan packages for malware, backdoors, etc... e.g. let the red/blue teams have a copy just prior to dev/qa This takes operational dependencies off the public mirrors and reduces network bandwidth costs. There was a point in time where bandwidth was expensive on some cloud providers. Putting snapshots in private VPC's in each region can reduce that cost.
I think this is a very insightful comment.

If you're an experienced individual contributor, the shift to remote work was great. You got less oversight at work and more free time in your personal life. This category is a lot of the hacker news audience, so remote work is popular here.

It was less good if you were a new contributor. You might find yourself with less development and struggling to break into existing cliques within the organization. You may not have built good practices in personal time management. None of this is malicious, it is just failures that are easier to have happen when working remote and not being careful.

Managers have an even harder time. Good managers work by building strong relationships with their team members, not with carrots or sticks. That's harder in a remote environment, due to the default-private nature of most remote communication. The lack of relationships hurts individual contributors too, who become even more like cogs in a machine.

Overall, I think the ability to retain experienced employees and hire from a wide range of locations outweighs these costs of remote work, but they are real and significant. For Big Tech, where acquiring talent is relatively easier due to salaries and name recognition, you can see why they might prioritize in-office work.
I suspect a lot of boomers will discover this option soon. As soon as you retire, say at ages 60-65, it is more optimal to leave the US and live in Mexico/SE Asia until health permits. Then return back to the US in your early 70s with the full support of medicare and SS.
Enterprise APs support VLAN tagging themselves, so you assign multiple VLANs to the AP uplink in the switch and then tell the AP which SSID belongs to which VLAN.
Which is nothing compared to hospital level care at the hospital.
I've not tested this specific one, but the balloon tires you see nowadays (Schwalbe Big Ben/Big Apple or similar) provide a pretty good amount of suspension and handle well on rough surfaces. Small wheels will be an issue if you're dealing with potholes. Agility is not going to save you with a passenger, so don't rely on that in the first place.

At this point do we just have to expect all the other companies that haven’t announced layoffs will also do so?

> Why are companies putting up with them?

There's always the human factor in capitalism. And with the human factor comes ego.

IIRC, Graeber roughly compares CEOs to feudal kings. You want more people under your rule as a metric of success. Also, the "king" often seeks to have a big "court" (top-level managers) to reflect their prestige.

The effect is cascading. The "king's court" members want their own smaller courts (second-level managers) and compete with their peers for power, as measured by the headcount. As we go down, unecessary hires will start to occur, only to justify a title.

And everyone involved in the theater has an incentive to turn a blind eye on the situtation.
https://archive.is/8ejD3
My issue with analyses like this is they argue that layoffs are a bad idea and it's just companies shooting themselves in a foot. That's what people want to hear, so it gets a lot of clicks and citations. But, this also means that all the big companies (and that's a lot of them) that just announced layoffs made a obviously bad move. Are they all stupid? I find it hard to believe.

It's more plausible, that yeah, layoffs are trust destroying and life ruining, but they make shareholders rich, so they are a rational choice expected from CEOs.
It doesn't.
Neither is the average.

To say such a thing, we need:

1. Some assumption about the distribution of the true value.
2. And a metric measuring the "cost" of being wrong.

Assuming a uniform distribution, and measuring cost as the expected absolute value of the error, we find that the average of the interval is the best guess.

Using the same assumptions, any number in the interval is a better estimate than the endpoints.

From that it (obviously) follows that the mediant is a better approximation than both endpoints.

thats how I read it to - the family didn't want the burden of doing the care, and also don't think anyone should have to pay for it - who are these magical fairies that are going to show up in your final days and take care of you for free?

If the deceased person owed the medical bills - well guess what? she is dead and won't have to pay them unless the creditors go after her estate - if the family's complaint that now their inheritance is going to be less than they thought - too bad.

It's suspiciously close to what I understand to be the normal steady-state turnover rates for the tech industry. Nobody quits their jobs in an economy like this, so the turnover must be achieved by other means (and this way lets the employer pick who turns over).

> using common unix shell command names as aliases for PowerShell commands that are similar but don't quite work the same way

On any Linux/Unix, when `ls` is called, PS runs the native `ls` and not `Get-ChildItem`. These aliases only exist on Windows, where unless one is explicitly running a Unix-ish shell (WSL, Cygwin, MinGW, MSYS2, etc), PS will use these aliases. Plus, `ls`, `mv`, `cp`, and `rm` never really existed on Windows; the equivalent cmd binaries were `dir`, `move`, `copy`/`robocopy`, `del`.

Finally, this is a fairly tired argument against PowerShell...

Socialized healthcare is nice, but a lot of people don’t realize how terrible the wait is. I can get an appointment to see a doctor within a day. I can usually get appointments with specialists within two weeks.
