Let’s do wrist x-ray and keep it simple. I’m sure I’ll mess up the formatting here.

When you get an x-ray, you would expect to see 3 claims (again, simplifying).

—— One is the x-ray tech taking the picture. That gets a professional claim with a CPT code and is straightforward.

—- One is the interpretation by a radiologist of the imaging. That is a professional claim with a CPT and a modifier.

—- The last depends on the place of service. If it’s in a hospital, or at an outpatient facility, or at an ASC, then you get a facility claim to go with it.

Next, under what circumstances did the x-ray occur? Was it during an inpatient stay? If so, the payor might pay based on a DRG, which is basically a bundle of all the services that occur during the stay. How do you decide how much of the cost to allocate to the various parts of the x-ray? There are more variations on this.

Next, how are the providers contracted? Are they participating providers? Par vs non-par have different payment rates.

Next, was the service in-network or out-of-network, defined by the patient’s insurance benefits?

Does the patient’s PCP participate in a capitated arrangement (fixed fee to the PCP’s office per month)? If so, what is the allocated cost for the service based on the submitted encounter?

What about fees for network rental? Sorry, this one is esoteric, but it’s another factor.

And so forth and so on. It’s a mess.
certainly not with C:

Manually managing memory has turned out to be error prone (for me) and can result in quite nasty to debug bugs (because the type system is lacking), only to mention the most important thing.

I think there is enough out there on C vs Rust, esp. because of the Linux kernel

That said, it was asked about Python (within the context of Rust), and I have limited experience with Pascal and Java, so I will leave it at that.

> We should absolutely ban it, the same way China bans Instagram, Facebook, Google, etc for the same reasons: national security threat.
China has not banned those. Foreign internet companies can operate in China if they obey the same rules that Chinese internet companies have to obey, such as Chinese censorship requirements and requirements to share data with the government.
Most US internet companies aren't willing to meet those requirements, so don't operate there.

Wow. Talk about being disingenuous. “oh you can vote - you just have to take a literacy test first and show us 5 different types of ID we’re sure you don’t have - it’s just the law”.

“It’s just the rules” - what else could it be? Censorship isn’t this mystical thing the government does - it’s implemented with rules. Sounds like “go back to your country” at company scale.
The Chevy Bolt is pretty cheap, especially with a rebate.

There are a lot of people who just can't afford a new car. That's a legitimate concern. EVs are gradually working their way into the used market.

EV conversion is another option that's currently only for moderately well-off people with a lot of free time, but with the right kits it could be a more routine thing.

India and China have both managed to uplift their economies in the last 30 years without the “discomfort” of violent crime, increasing corruption, the collapse of state institutions and an inability to generate electricity.

Of course reducing everyone to grinding poverty is one way of reducing inequality, but it’s hard to see what the utility of that would be.

Is the only answer at this point just accelerationism? Is the fastest way to clean out our institutions just to run them into the ground?
If you care, just don't waste CPU cycles if possible. Efficient code is green code in the sense that it's more likely not to waste energy.

Things like bitcoin with their proof of work algorithms, are borderline immoral. Just burning through and awful lot of energy for no good reason.
It's not just China. I generally find that responses come from the Indian subcontinent.

I could participate myself but MS insist on using users as unpaid "volunteers" to work for them and that's not my bag. If they'd like my experience then they might feel free to pay for it and I am very cheap compared to the usual 'softies.

The way they encourage kids to live life based on the principle "this will look good on my CV" is also nothing short of evil. It should probably be illegal for degree-sellers to take into account any extra-curricular activities.
Until last year, the Ethereum network used about as much energy as the Philippines (#33 on this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electrici...)

Through the coordination of hundreds software engineers over the course of roughly 7 years, they made fundamental changes to the consensus protocol, such that it now falls somewhere at the very end of that list.

Now of course, software engineers also caused the problem in the first place, so make of that what you will
The title of the actual article gives the exact years in question. The surgeon was alive from 1232 to 1286. The years shown use the "CE/BCE" notation, which is just an alternate to writing "AD/BC". The numbers themselves correspond to the same time.
Suitably dramatic image headlines the piece. :-)
Yeah that’s back to the showing off/ status symbol thing.

Maybe some fellow car enthusiasts would share a view that’s a virtuous command of the tarmac.
Well you could be efficient with your code so it doesn't waste CPU cycles, since CPU cycles == Energy, and if your algorithms use less energy, in all likelihood you'll emit less CO2. Specially if they're widely deployed.
>Why are unrealistic preferences a problem for anyone but the person with the unrealistic preferences?

Did you read my 2nd paragraph?

>The only way someone else’s standards become a problem for you

For me personally, that's right. For society as a whole, suppose that everyone suddenly decided they would only date model-beautiful people. Pretty soon, everyone is terminally single, no one forms families or has children, and society dies out within a couple of generations (unless a different way of raising children is found, such as keeping them all in government-run institutions, but this still entails a radical change to society).

I’ll ask a dumb question. On another of the numerous LLM related posts I was asking if any of the self host-able open model can do code summaries at close to the quality of GPT 3.5 turbo. I was basically told nowhere close yet.

Can this potentially do that?

Ideally I’d like to have it generate descriptions of large amounts of code but would rather not burn tokens and lose privacy via OpenAI api. But I’d gladly keep a high end GPU burning on such task , even if that was actually slightly more expensive.

Edit: To clarify I do this partially now on batches of code via openAI api currently. It’s around 1-3 cents for a typical 400-800 line source code file. And I don’t mean feeding the full code base in as a single input.
Comparing the weight of animal feed and consumable meat isn’t very useful because almost 100% of animal feed isn’t edible by humans. It’s not like that 5kg of feed is going to be eaten by people instead of going the animals.

There are lots of inefficiencies that are perfectly normal. Compare the amount of sunlight needed to produce a single gram of plants. Why does that ratio matter?

It’s not valuable to compare even beans to steak as they are completely different nutrients. 100g of steak has 271 calories with 19g fat and 25g protein [0]. 100g of cooked black beans has 132 calories with 24g carb, 9g protein, and 1g fat [1].

You don’t compare these foods by weight if you’re talking about human diet.

Animals consuming massive amounts of stuff people can’t eat is a feature, not a bug. That’s the point of cows, that they graze on grass and build up nutrients for people to eat.

Now the issue of factory farming having cows in a pen being force fed is a separate problem. But meat itself is useful for feeding people.

How would that work? Like you give the model a new DNA sequence and based on training it tells you if there is an error or not?

Big question is why would the model do better than just regular search? Are the errors not regular?
You have far more faith in police than I do
An increase in the sticker price certainly eats up outside scholarships and loans. Harvard (and other ivies) may have eliminated student and parent loans for most undergraduates, but master's and professional students (and possibly their parents) often have to take out loans. And a large sticker price often means that the university simply pockets the entire amount of outside scholarships, deducting it from financial "need".
Well, it’s the same here for the existing healthcare system in the US. Even basic reforms (obamacare) get met with insane opposition.
Cool, we'll have to look into it to see if it is cheaper at all!
I'm talking about vector graphics as an integral part of the document, not mere inclusion of external graphics.
What's the point of a hard drive? You're only uploading and downloading from the internet, why not just keep all your data in the cloud?

This is essentially your argument just using money rather than data right?

Can you think of any reason someone might like to hold their own data? Perhaps they don't like being at the mercy of a company that can ban you from accessing it at any time like the OP? Perhaps they like the freedom of choosing where they send and receive data from instead of only using the provider approved services?

Crazy that so many people still don't get this and give all their power and control of their money away to providers because it's slighty more convenient.
> The other problem is, Microsoft got rid of Software Development Engineers in Test, and they replaced them with devs doing test. But at Microsoft, SDETs served as the last line of defense for the users, as an SDET it was made clear to me from day 1 of my employment that I had the power to stop shipment of software if I felt the code wasn't up to snuff. As a junior SDET I only ever used that power once, I was damn well scared, and when I spoke up and said we had open bugs that I personally considered ship blockers, the lead dev said no problem, the release would be delayed until his team fixed the bugs.

I worked for almost 27 years, for a Japanese optical corporation that is synonymous with "Quality."

Their QC department was the most powerful one in the corporation, and all the devs lived in fear of failing QCT, as that would have C-Suite-level notice.

In the US, there used to be a joke, saying "If you have 'Quality' in your job title, your career is over." At this company, it meant you were just short of a God.

That said, it tended to make life stressful for us. As an American development team, we were often treated as "Bad Software Cowboys." Most folks here, would consider us to be completely uptight, anal-retentive, risk-averse, babies, but they thought of us as reckless.
One interesting thing is that properly run crypto custodians don't make the news, are 100% collateralized and can withstand 100% withdrawals in an orderly fashion. Many people in the crypto space could attest to that from various crowdfunds that distributed everything fine, or exchanges that told people to withdraw, or wound down.

In comparison, every bank in existence would have trouble with this.

Its strange that the high profile mismanaged companies that happened to be dealing in crypto are influencing this kind of exclusion from Federal agencies now. But its also validating that these accounts that are moving will be handled with care, and whatever crypto service those deposits are supporting will most likely be able to function fine. Assuming these were predominantly US-based stablecoins. (Circle’s USDC used to bank there)

Leveraged illiquid organizations with losses cannot withstand a collateral call. Whether that's a bank or a crypto exchange. Alternatives that remove or prohibit the leverage would be great.
> The average new car price is $49k

Right, meaning there are a lot of car buyers who pay less than that. In many cases a lot less. I'm one of them(!)

The last time I bought a new car I paid $11k, although that was around five years ago. Since then, over many tens of thousands of miles, that vehicle has transported our family from A to B and back again.

I'd love to own an EV, but I can't afford to pay a significant premium for one.

To be fair I set up a home grown solution in a “real” environment that worked fine. 10k sign ups per day, 200 requests per second. If you already have a separate analytics platform also paying for feature flags seems hard to justify in most cases.
This is very cool! I was messing with some browser automation (Playwright) via GPT recently.

One idea I had: it would be cool if I could teach the agent. For instance, give it a task, but if it struggles, just complete it myself while the extension observes my interactions.

Perhaps these could be used as few shot examples for priming the model?

Gonna play around with this soon!
Your comment makes me wonder if it's not a coincidence that as we seem to be the hitting a limit in hardware power that human level intelligence begins to emerge.
Perhaps the death of UIs for doing basic tasks. UIs for visualizing data will remain for some time.

The Russian/Chinese bloc has already coalesced around this policy. Unfortunately, both countries have done a pretty good job of terrifying their (non-vassal) neighbors, so it's unlikely that they'll be able to do much with it.
I find the much closer analogue to be instructions for taking a photograph. And that IS considered copyrightable. There are how many free parameters for a photograph? Position in space (3 degrees of freedom), position in time and (if we're not talking 360deg cameras) 3 degrees of freedom for orientation. Maybe another degree of freedom for exposure time, etc, but for an automatic camera those are taken for you. So let's say 7-8 degrees of freedom.

32 bits each for position on the earth (64 bits total... and this is optimistic as vast majority of pictures are on land, near cities, etc), 16 bits for elevation (8 bits likely more than enough for most), 12 bits for each rotational degree of freedom (overkill), 32-36 bits for time. So about 150 bits of unique information? Add another 50bits if you have a manual camera (vast majority of pictures aren't taken that way nowadays), and you're left with 150-200bits. So about the same entropy as a sentence with a dozen or two words in it. All the rest is done by a machine. And this is considered enough for photography, but not enough for machine output. Doesn't make much sense to me. (A Haiku is also about 120 bits, and it is copyrightable.)

The actual GOOD prompt results I've seen typically require a lot more than a dozen words, whether ChatGPT or Stable Diffusion or whathaveyou, and typically involve quite a lot of trial and error.

So when would you say that China started this operation? 10/15 years ago when Tumblr was arguably at its cultural peak? Maybe when Obama was elected? Or 25/30 years ago when MTV was one of the first national TV stations broadcasting LGBTQ-friendly content several hours a day? Or maybe in the 70s/80s when the message began spreading across the "liberal elite" institutions?

Because the things you talk about in your first sentence saw their rise many years ago, and you are only seeing people in relative positions of power now who were raised or grew their careers in places surrounded by these ideas. And they've been raising kids along the way. It stands to reason their kids might be a little more radical.

Quite the long game China is playing!

Can you describe how TikTok's algorithm works? Because there's plenty of people on TikTok who only see street fights, or only rich person fridge organization, or military life "pov"s. Or Minecraft gameplay. And so on. TikTok is known for providing hyper-local content too, so if you're in say, rural Mississippi, you're less likely to see the feminism and gender ideology videos.
"this just makes" is in general too dismissive for my tastes.

the specific suggestion that rather than just try to game Amazon scammers are all of a sudden going to start en-mass engaging in serious felonies, become a new legion of ultra-vicious hackers, to write fake negative reviews against other people's product is, specifically, not ranked on my oh no, heavens forbid we try that list.

my starting place would only be that, a starting place, but I have a hard time envisioning trying turning into the world burning, as this stance presents. philosophically i have affinity for trying engaging & learning, & yeah sometimes it can be naive or have bad Co sequences. but it feels like we've become attuned to being short, to being disbelievers, to rejecting the try, to always having some scenario in our pocket that seems so awful we scare off attempts. i hope for greater for our society, for people.
The crap data that labels provide is a big issue and it should be part of Apple’s curation process to provide us with better information.

They already did by putting singles and EPs into their own category instead of listing everything under albums. Speaking of which, those also got de-duplicated.

No need to stop there.

These are bold claims that goes against a large body of work published in many scientific journals, unless of course you are talking historically, in which case I agree with you, but that has nothing to do with modern psychology and validity of personality psychology in particular.

What you are describing here is the placebo effect, and it has been studied extensively. Almost all forms of therapy and medicine has to pass a double blind study which controls for the placebo effect, to be considered an effective treatment. These are most of the time replicated effectively often time with published meta-analysis of dozens of replications. The studies that don’t replicate are called out during these meta-analyses. These “debunking” meta-analysis are rare, but do occur. If what you are describing is a reality, you would find many of these meta-analyses and there would be a pretty massive crisis in the field of medicine.

Like I said, this is a bold claim that goes against the established literature, I think you’ll need quite a bit of evidence to convince me.

I’m not disagreeing that bad science exists within psychology. Of course it does, psychometrics being one of these. But I would argue that it is becoming more and more irrelevant with a generational shift inside the field. I’m also gonna make a bold claim here and state that intelligence testing is has already become a fringe psychological theory, that is going into the history books, along psychoanalysis, as an example of bad science that went nowhere.
This sentence defies lay people:

The biggest deal with this isn't the published lora adapter (which seems limited to llama 7b), but the cleaned training data, which is likely better than the previous data sets used to train the alpaca-inspired loras that have been publicly released so far.

Local context is definitely the key factor for small models achieving better quality than copilot (related: [1], [2]) .

One things I’d really wanna have in Sourcegraph: A Search API supports custom retrieval / ranking. Research works (e.g [2]) show simple BoW fetched context is more efficient for code completion tasks.

I think you are assuming too much competence. If lawmakers are anything like other employees, then 80% of them are there just for the paycheck. They’re not going to expend any extra effort to fully understand a complicated law that they’re not particularly invested in.

Chances are very few of them actually consider where this could lead, not because they’re malicious, but because they just cannot be bothered. They’re probably working on their own fancy laws that will be much more popular with their voters.
There are large parts of the US where private practices are very rare and the major care provider organizations have multi-month waits for both primary care and specialists. As I understand the overall trend is towards longer wait times but it is significantly worse in some cities than in others. Where I am, for example, it is around six months to get an appointment with some fairly common specialists... and that's a mid-size city with a university hospital and everything. My former primary care doctor only had availability about three months out, but I am fortunate enough to have found a small private practice that has far fewer patients per provider... at the cost that I pay a large annual practice fee to be a patient.

I think this is pretty uneven across the country but it is definitely far from guaranteed that you can see a doctor on demand with a short lead time. I have heard of similar problems pretty much throughout the central region of the country. In an attempt to alleviate the situation a number of states have programs where they pay subsidies to providers in areas with longer wait times, but this turns into a complex billing system and states often can't afford enough to really make a big difference.

In some ways the private insurers are doing some good here, as several offer "patient concierges" that will do things like try to find a provider for you that's accepting new patients. But in a recent experience that involves calling every two weeks and being told they still can't find any availability, for a couple of months.
Monkeypox was pretty clearly a non-event for the vast majority of the population pretty early on. There continued to be misleading and fearmongering reporting for weeks and months after that was obvious, because of the well-known phenomenon where media gets more clicks and eyeballs if the "news" is bad. Also, Covid doomers really wanted a 2nd thing to be depressed about.
