As long as insurance is subsidized by our tax dollars and is regulated to include (forcefully) everything, then theres no way out.

For the record, to comprehend what this means from the doctors side, this means that Doctors (and billers) must be aware of every possible permutation that is "allowed" for billing by every insurer, for every CPT (procedure code).

I did some quick math to measure:

A) There are ~12000 valid CPT codes. (I could not google the exact number but CPT codes go from 0xxxx to 99xxx, plus therr are also S codes (Sxxxx), J codes (Jxxxx) etc.)

B) There are 155,000 ICD-10 diagnosis codes [1].

There are roughly 900 payors in USA. [2]

This means there are 1.67 x 10^12 rules a doctor billing insurance must know.

Even if you consider the narrow view that a doctor of X specialty may bill only top 100 cpt codes, for maybe 50 payors, thats still a huge number (25M!!!) because diagnosis DX (I.e. ICD-10) is not narrow and requires knowledge of related conditions - billing z11 is different result vs billing z11.26 and you must know that.

Its insane to think anyone will memorize 25 million combinations to know what to bill or not bill. And this calc does not consider modifiers OR primary DX....

It's a tour of JLCPCB's factory, where they go through all the PCB manufacturing steps. (They just cover the PBC itself, not the assembly service.)
I don't think we need to resort to anecdotes to conclude this. I think it was some time during the first wave that scientists began to communicate that indoor and enclosed spaces were far more risky than outdoor and well ventilated places.
I think there is a more general argument to be made than the one about predicting compiler optimisations. Being familiar with how a compiler typically works allows me to use one more fluently in various ways. For example, predicting and fixing compile errors, because I know roughly what the compiler will be looking for.

> "The intranasal dose of TriSb92 that should be administered to susceptible persons prior to events involving a risk for SARS-CoV-2 exposure remains to be established but is likely to be substantially lower than extrapolation of our current data on mice that were challenged by inoculation of the rather massive amount of 2x105 PFU of SARS-CoV-2 into their respiratory tract."

Side effects might be an issue but that should show up in well-designed clinical trials. It sounds like something that people working in infectious clinical settings might want to use, maybe immunocompromised people who have to go out in public, but otherwise, for general use seems iffy in terms of efficacy.
At what point do you separate that which is only of imagination and that which exists bridging the physical and imagination?
There's a viral case going around where a doctor whose lost his license due to replacing a hip backwards is now making his living denying insurance claims. It's not just that claims are being denied unread, but when they are read, it's not exactly the medical cream of the crop doing the work.

> Yeah sure, but my point was that the current capitalist-maximalist ideology is that rich people have "earned" their wealth by "hard work" and thus should not be required to share with the rest of society. And that is just dump

You'd have to cite this. The only people I see who are under the impression that labour is all it takes to make a business succeed are far left-wing, labour theory of value people.

> But society does not have a moral duty to enable obscene personal wealth, quite on the contrary.

You're half right. The criminal vagueness of "society" aside, no one has a moral duty to enable it. But there is no morality in disabling it, through theft or other means.

> European societies were not more complex or sophisticated at any given time than i.e. many in Africa or East Asia.

You seem to have misread. I wasn't saying or implying anything special about the complexity of European societies.
If you try and fail to eat less food, the correct conclusion is not that eating less food "doesn't work"
This could be useful for e.g. bazel, where I’ve regularly seen deleting the bazel caches take on the order of 10 minutes because of absurdly large and repeated directory trees (caused by things like runfile trees containing the python interpreter).
People with a good understanding of different styles of art and framing/angles/etc should be able to create the "right" prompts for a customer much much faster and get better results than people who don't know art. Generative AI like Midjourney will completely upend the art industry (it already is). But I don't think it's the death knell for the study of art.

Here's a solid example of that in the context of creating game assets for a retro computer game: https://hpjansson.org/blag/2022/08/16/adventure-game-graphic... The author clearly has actually studied art and is able to come up with prompts and concepts that I'd never be able to dream up. They're able to get the AI to generate what they want immediately with specific prompts like:

> "mexican hacienda on a sunny day, surrounded by plains, color painting by Charles Sheeler"

I have no idea who Charles Sheeler is. But if someone knows 1,500 different artists/photographers/genres/styles and the nuances of them, they can immediately select the right look for the client. It's not a panacea that will allow artists to keep doing what they love, but it is a bright spot and something to focus on for what the future skillset looks like for those who generate art.

My understanding is that Bitcoin went up due to concerns over the health of the banking system.

The issues with Coinbase, Do Kwon and Lyndsay Lohan have more to do with other cryptocurrencies being considered securities.

Even Gary Gensler recognizes that Bitcoin is a commodity and not a security under the Howey Test.

This is a clickbait article with low value content. I suppose I shouldn’t expect more from Fortune.com but one can always hope.
GPT Golf Trick
Yeah, for some reason people say "you can't prove a negative" but mean "you can't prove a universal". Any positive assertion can be trivially restated as a negative assertion, so it would be impossible to prove anything if it were impossible to probe a negative. Any negative assertion can likewise be trivially restated as a positive assertion.

Hell, "you can't prove a negative" is itself a negative -- so it's tautologically impossible to prove that you can't prove a negative (either because it's false or because it's true).
I do not, I recognize that they care far more about costs and don't mind throwing one developer at problems internally than outsourcing it to a middleman of a middleman who is overcharging just for access to an API that isn't theirs.

Reminder, it's going to get easier to implement things. It is going to get easier to support things. Neither of these two reasons are going to be the catalysts they used to be for businesses anymore.

I can have lunch and water cooler chat friends at work, but rarely do they turn into invite over to bbq on the weekend friends. There's a big difference.

You can be friendly, but when something happens at work and one of you no longer works there...things get weird. Those weekend bbqs that you had with work friends no longer happen, or they keep going for a bit, but conversations are awkward since the still employed are no longer free to discuss or the no-longer employed harbors resentment that isn't exactly hidden. What kind of "friend" was that after all?
This is what happened when lotteries started spreading across the US. The proceeds were earmarked for schools, so naturally, the property tax rates (which pays for most school funding) was held in check, resulting in no actual increase in school spending.
Not sure how giving people motivation is exploitation. You still have to pay them to own what they built, otherwise you just motivated them to build something for themselves, either way it isn't exploitative.
This is a classic motivational tool. I've been hearing variants of it, for pretty much all my life.

I suspect that it is effective, because of its lasting power.

It doesn't really do much for me, but that has more to do with my personality, than the effectiveness of the technique. I tend to be a fairly hard-core realist, and can't really fool myself.

I am, however, quite used to powering through the "Jon Snow Trough"[0], [1]. That's pretty important, in developing a long-term skill.

I would say that there can't be any market without the government creating it (what does a contract or deed mean if there's no authority that recognizes it?), so there's a bit of "no true Scotsman" in trying to call it anything else besides a private market.
It is a politically convenient misrepresentation stemming from a lack of understanding regarding how the United States is structured politically.

First and foremost, the Electoral College (and Congress, whose numbers are the basis for the College's numbers) are determined by a popular vote within the respective States. The ballots in a presidential election are asking the voters "Which candidate should your State vote for?".

This means California determines by popular vote who to vote for President, likewise Wyoming. The State tallies their votes, and the State then decides according to the results who to vote for President. If the voters in California voted for Bob, California will vote for Bob in the Electoral College; if the voters in Wyoming voted for Dave, Wyoming will vote for Dave in the Electoral College.

We should also note that Nebraska and Maine both allot their Electors proportionally according to vote results, unlike all other States where the winner of the State gets all Electors.

I reiterate for emphasis: The basis for the Electoral College (and Congress) is a popular vote within the respective States.

As regards the "disproportionate voter power" itself, the Electoral College's roster of 538 Electors is derived from the following numbers in Congress:

* 435 House Representatives.

* 100 Senators.

* Equivalents of 2 "Senators" and 1 "House Representative" for the District of Columbia.

All States are guaranteed a minimum of 1 House Representative, with more allotted according to population as determined by the Census. All States are guaranteed 2 Senators. The District of Columbia has no representation in Congress (D.C. is not a State!) but is represented in the Electoral College with representation equivalent to the smallest State in the Union.

The "disproportion" comes from all States being guaranteed at least 1 House Representative and 2 Senators (this is where "all States have at least 3 Electors" comes from), and this is necessary in order to make sure that all States are represented no matter how small they are.

The ability of smaller States banding together to override a larger State is the system working as intended, it is a safeguard against a tyranny of the masses. The United State is a Union of States, not a Union of Peoples.
We're not in such a society though. Ignoring master's, bachelor's, and decent grades to just focus on a lower bar of "people with associate's degrees regardless of grades" we're still shy of 50%, even if we restrict to younger age groups like 25-30 years old.
Interesting, I never came across this one in my search. I'm gonna give it a try, I'm curious to see how it compares.

I did try out a couple other editors that leaned on markdown though with mixed results.

One thing that stands out to me in particular with iA is the way they've implemented (at least based on the homepage video) note linking. That click-through implementation forces you to leave your document, which is something we explicitly didn't want, since typically what you're doing is scanning through your notes and your document simultaneously while you work out how everything fits together.
Maybe the commentor is refering to net benefit, rather than gross.
Why didn't you say that instead of "things unrelated to birth control"? It seems like you are walking back from your original position and sticking to the easiest subset of it to defend. My position is that there are legitimate uses for birth control pills besides contraception and there's not a simple replacement for all of them.

I haven't looked to see how Android handles this internally, but, when developing Android apps, the "Main" thread is for UI work. Anything else is supposed to be offloaded to other threads and some Android libraries will simply crash if you make them try to do non-UI work on the Main thread.
He embellishes his MIT background (he has an unpaid position, is barely associated with them, and has basically zero real experience with AI or self-driving technology), and more importantly is just not that smart. He asks shallow questions and doesn't let his guests lead the conversation because he isn't smart enough to understand where they're going with the topic.

That said, he gets incredible guests, and I do listen to some episodes of his podcasts to hear what they say. I just wish there was a better podcast host with the same audience and ability to get those guests onto their show.
Ah I understand the problem, nuance is difficult in public.

Most of these weren't unanimous arguments by doctors. Masks for example: it's true they are ineffective at preventing most things, you can't put on a mask and be free of disease from others, it's mostly to spread it from you. At the same time, some masks are more effective than others, when most people were buying up cloth masks they didn't want to discourage this by redirecting to more effective masks especially at a time where hospitals were struggling to get those needs met and they were at much higher risk.

So you see how something like that, when edited through soundbites and malicious actors, suddenly becomes "they lied about masks"? Now reevaluate the rest of your beliefs about how they "lied" during that time.
Permanent measures should be taken very, very seriously and there should be thorough investigation into long term outcomes. This is not at all what the Republicans care about. They aren't doing this because they care about the health of vulnerable kids. They just don't like trans people.
Its too focused on the mathematical approach to parsing but almost no mathematical rigour or intuition for the actually interesting parts of compiler IIRC.

"CGHB maintains its own, in-house international claims platform..."

Which may explain your positive experience, compared to their USA customers.

Further, wild speculation here, I'm guessing Spain does more to protect customers, not allowing CGHB to auto-deny claims en masse.
By this logic, Newton’s theory of gravity was a lie, and Newton was a liar, because it did not account for relativity.

Until such time as the FAA creates standards that allow supersonic aircraft to operate over the United States, civil supersonic flight shall be allowed as long as mean cruise sonic boom directly beneath the flight track is less than 90 PLdB for daytime operations or 80 PLdB for nighttime operations.

Wouldn’t this just encourage designs that create a sonic boom null zone directly below the aircraft and make it louder 10 or 20 degrees to the sides?

If the proposed new standard is already impossible to meet, why not continue with the current permitting system and when quieter craft are on the horizon, make meaningful standards?
