I disagree that it will be nothing. It will be something larger than 0. First question is how to predict the impact. But more interestingly when we have the impact analysis how to quantify the suffering that will be reduced in comparison with reducing security and how to quantify even that and put these into comparison. (Again I am not on either side just pointing how hard it is to quantify these things)

It seems unclear is a PBM is actually required to be HIPAA compliant.

It's possible some health care providers (think large hospitals) enforce HIPAA via contractual obligations without federal law directly requiring PBMs to be covered entities.

That would give a path for GoodRx to interact without being in violation of HIPAA.
No, but dang often edits titles if you point it out. Like this one.
Though I was only talking about existing gas stations adding solar/wind powered charging, I think generating power on site can help encourage charging stations in places where gas stations don't yet exist at all. If you have land, wind, and sun, you could also have charging stations. I'm obviously over simplifying things, but compared to building an actual gas station in the same remote location, I think it'd cost a lot less.

Before the pandemic, Air Canada was highly profitable, with a 50$ CDN share price, and making deals to buy other airlines.

Don't confuse asset write down, and other chicanery, for loss. Not when they're buying up airline after airline.

I care about the environment, yet you're making my point here. You equate "caring about the environment" with "making change no matter how small, everywhere, in every thing, without focusing on big issues first".

An example, getting the US, for example, to reduce hot water usage even mildly, would do more for the environment than decades worth of "make people's knees hurt", "adding two seats to rarely full planes" mentality.

Hell, here's an idea which would save, in one month, more than those extra few seats in a decade (which are only used on full flights.. a rare thing).

Pass a law, that airlines must share flights if not full enough. That is, if a flight is less than.. 65% full, then the flight by law is cancelled, if competitors have a closely timed route, but, also by law, a competitor must take those passegers and kick a commission to the originating airline.

That's actual change. That's actual savings. That's less convenient, but no, you'd prefer to make my knees hurt. And care to assign cost to the poor, if people don't want that.

And again, I have flown plenty, and have only once seen all seats occupied.

How many flights have you been on, fully seated? Be honest!

No. The truth is, profits (force people to pay for seats with more legroom, like as doors and such).

End of story.

I really don't consider myself an environmentalist in the most typical sense. I think that people should probably get a little bit closer to natural processes and away from industrial franken-foods.

The push against repairability is pretty bad. The levels of pollution are disheartening to say the least. Two instances in travel stick out to me. Going into/through LA in the mid 00's and finding the smog unbearable and driving on the I-10 through west TX and into Louisianna there was this thick layer of gas fumes that was simply hard to even keep my eyes open.

These are two visible, pungent cases and you don't need to be an environmentalist to feel that this is a problem.

I'm also not inherently against GMO plants/food... I will say that some of these have been problematic, like 20x the histamine response in modern wheat vs. older strains. The increased use of soy and legume proteins that are not complete/good, and the lack of understanding of how problematic they along with the vegan/vegetarian cult-like culture have been. Not to mention the massive negative impact of refined seed oils on human physiology and hormone production.

There are a lot of choices made in the past century or so that have been done out of convenience and at the time ignorance of longer-term impacts. We should largely know better at this point.

I don't like the tendency to lay global climate change to blame for it all, or that humans are even the leading cause of those changes... climate changes and has throughout time. But I can absolutely find that covering a significant portion of the planet in chemical pesticides that kill off insects to the point that it's of serious concern, and making no efforts to move towards something that is sustainable is irresponsible at best.

I can also feel that continuing to come up with more chemical processes to make a better non-stick pan, vs. just learning to clean/maintain steel and cast-iron pans is problematic. Yeah I like amazon... I like that I can get apples year round... I like that I can do a lot of things. But I'm at least trying to make better choices at least part of the time... and advocating for others to do the same.

I'm not sure the complexity of the borrowing rules are always essential. Sometimes it is, but often it adds an accidental layer of complexity that doesn't exist in the real world.

For example, I once saw someone bring in an entire message-routing framework (Yew) because they couldn't get a simple observer to work within the borrow checker.

This is why I'm glad that Rust added Rc/RefCell; its design acknowledges that sometimes, the borrow checker gets in the way more than it helps, and it adds a more flexible alternative so we don't shoot ourselves in the foot by using the borrow checker in places where it doesn't make as much sense.

Sort of agree but a couple counterexamples from my machine vision career:

- Proto and small scale high tech manufacturing, pre-offshoring or sensitive IP, requires machine vision solutions that are both sophisticated and quickly adaptable

Your anecdote lacks any information on existing social networking that may be in effect, that could provide a gender-agnostic explanation for this outcome. This outcome occurs quite regularly with engineers who disregard social networking with their leadership, regardless of the gender of those who have invested in networking and reap the rewards of it in recognition and “being heard”. You’d need to establish a pattern of refusal to network with non-women, in order to have grounds to pursue a gendered case, given only this anecdote as evidence.

The educational part is just true. It's been trending that way for years and years. Easily googleable. Not even controversial in education circles—the data are hard to ignore, and it's openly discussed as a problem (solutions, however, are hard to come by).

I'm not so sure about the income thing.

[EDIT] Some links—far from exhaustive, again, this is such a slam-dunk thing as far as the data go that it's regarded as a fact even by quite-liberal circles of teachers and education researchers, there's not a conservative/liberal divide on whether it's happening (what to do about it—there, differences may be observed).

Thanks for the clarifications.

>> Do you have the sense that general AI is now within a decade or so or less?

Not at all. My impression is that nobody is really working on creating general AI, and that if you take the field of machine learning research as a whole, if the purpose ever was to create general AI (which it never was), the field would be currently running backwards, far away from any kind of "intelligence", or any kind of generality at all.

It is beyond clear to me that any sort of generalisation cannot be achieved by neural nets trained with gradient optimisation. That's because gradient optimisation will always, always get stuck at local optima. As you seem to know yourself, gradient optimisation has been around for many decades and I reckon there's been quite a few attempts to see if it can avoid getting stuck at local optima. And yet, well, it still gets stuck at local optima. That's probably its strength anyway, although it's also how it is self-limited. So there's only so much you can do when training with gradient optimisation. There is nothing to do about it. There is nobody who can do anything about it. All the billions of research, all the hordes of researchers, cannot get Humpty Dumpty unstuck from local optima.

And so there's not a chance of a snowball in hell that general AI is going to be anywhere near where we get to in a hundred years from now, with current approaches.

>> I haven’t ever seen a field hit this state.

Well, I agree, but I disagree fundamentally. For me, the state of the field is deplorable! "The field" of machine learning research, that is. That field has abandoned every semblance of doing science and it has become a complete circus, where all that matters is what is the next big company that's paying billions for researchers who know how to train a neural net.

Just look at the papers. Thousands of papers are placed on arxiv every month. Hundreds are even published. The vast, vast majority of them do nothing useful at all, and just claim to have moved the state of the art forward a couple of percentage points. They beat a benchmark, brag about it, and go home happy that they will be remembered... for a couple days at least, until someone else with no ideas breaks their record. It's a glorified Kaggle competition, and a free for all, but it achieves nothing. There are no theoretical results in any of the papers, except those of the very few people left at the top of the mess, who would actually know science if it bit them in the leg. There is nothing but noise. And if anyone comes up with a novel idea, in all this mess, that novel idea will be buried under a ton of dreary, miserable dross.

Or, to cut this short, what you are seeing is supply and demand: big tech corps supply millions, graduate students run towards them with open arms to get the millions.

Progress? What, in that situation? Not really.

Room-temperature superconductor works at lower pressures
Yea! That kinda works, except that libraries, frameworks, and paradigms evolve so rapidly in the web, often times you need to rebuild it anyways.

I also want to be more supportive of junior developers. Second can help scaffold and get large chunks of standard code in place for them to build on, rather than starting with empty files. This is especially useful when adding a new feature to an existing web application (in which case boilerplates and templates are a no-op)
>As far as why trees don't seem to evolve into grasses

There is obviously no non-teleological answer for this, but it can be much much more straight forward than metabolism.

Think of plants as basically solar panels. We can think of the 'grass' phenotype as competing through r-type selection. Lots and lots of individuals, lots of surface area, short life cycles. Short bursty growth, convenient loss resilience, easy mobility.

'Trees' are the also optimizing for surface area (among other things), but are relying on k-type selection. Longer life-cycles, lower probability of successful reproduction, specialized pollinators, and very significantly, vertically stratified growth habit. Being an individual in a k-type species is like a very significant advantage for that individual, since its unlikely that the vast majority of k-type seeds will successfully reproduce.

Being k-type may not be more competitive for the species overall, but it may result for a selection bias at the individual member resolution, and so may be unlikely to be selected against.

There are many many advantages to lignification when your whole thing is basically being solar panels on a pole. It would seem extremely unlikely this has anything to do with metabolism other than 'doing more of it'. We already know why monocots don't make trees more significant than palms (read: vascular bundles and eusteles). My money goes to species level versus individual level selection in k versus r.

We're getting bitten by this in the Netherlands as well. Two domain registrars, PCExtreme and Neostrada, merged with Versio, and Versio is now owned by TWS.

My company has domains registered with Versio (and PCExtreme and Neostrada), but the control panel was showing multiple domains wrongly flagged as 'processing', and actually getting through to customer service takes the better part of day by now. I'm not looking forward to our domains getting migrated due to these mergers.

Start looking for alternative registrars if your domains are hosted by Versio, Neostrada, or PCExtreme! The competent staff of PCExtreme and Neostrada seem to have evaporated in these mergers.

> However the Ruby community seem to want having their own JIT written in C more than they want performance.

YJIT is written in Rust, not C, but it's also not just a matter of wanting to write our own JIT for fun. There are a number of caveats with TruffleRuby which make a production deployment difficult:

1. The memory overhead is very large. Can be as much as 1-2GB IIRC.

2. The warm-up/compilation time is much too long (can be up to minutes for large applications). In practice this can mean that latency numbers go way up when you spin up your app. In the case of a server application, that can translate in lots of requests timing out.

3. It doesn't have 100% CRuby compatibility, so your code may not run out of the box.

There's a reason why you don't see that many TruffleRuby (or TrufflePython, TruffleJS, etc.) deployments in the wild. Peak execution speed after a lengthy warm-up is not the only metric that matters.
