We have DPC, and it's amazing. We pay $250/month for a family of 4. Some places charge less, but then also charge you for each time you see the doctor. Ours is all inclusive except for any in office incidentals - like lab work.

It's truly amazing. Our doctor knows us all well, can get responses to email or text within just a few minutes, generally same day appointments, or next day if she's really busy. Most things we don't even need to go in for - I did a recent international trip, and she just ordered me all of the needed travel medications without having to stop in.
Please read the documentation of the API and you might think the probability would be very low [1].
Note also that zip.js works totally fine in all stable browsers, Safari 16.4 included. There are no known issues [2]. I have absolutely no idea what we are talking about because it looks like the bug has been fixed by Apple in the stable version of Safari. And maybe zip.js helped them to do so.

I recently discovered something interesting about this film!

There's a scene where Hal 9000 sings a song called "Daisy Bell" which he was taught by his first instructor. Interestingly, in 1961, the IBM 704 computer performed a rendition of the same song at Bell Labs during the earliest demonstration of computer speech synthesis. Arthur C. Clarke, who happened to be present, later told Kubrick about it, and it was incorporated into the film.

I also discovered a fascinating paper called "The Alien Voice" that delves into the history of Vocoder technology - from Homer Dudley's inspiration to build it in 1928 to Alan Turing and colleagues modifying it into a secure speech system called SIGSALY for World War II. The paper also discusses how this technology led to the emergence of computer-generated music. From the paper:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333056608_The_Alien....

> A half-decade later, back at Bell Labs, the Vocoder found its way into the earliest experiments with computer music. Engineers in the acoustic research division were working with Dudley's and Turing's technologies to convert analog voice signals into digital data. In an effort to send several conversations down a single telephone line, they enlisted the aid of the computer. One evening, two of these Bell engineers, Max Mathews and John Pierce, attended a concert of piano music at nearby Drew University. Unimpressed by the performance, one whispered to the other, "The computer can do better than this." Taking up the challenge, Mathews began to experiment with using the computer as a music synthesizer and, a year later, launched MUSIC I, the first computer program dedicated to sound synthesis.

> All of a sudden, a group of engineers and scientists had become composers. Linguist and psychoacoustician Newman Guttman produced the first piece of computer music in 1957, a seventeen-second demonstration titled "The Silver Scale." Pierce, head of Bell Labs' communication sciences division, responded in 1959 with a cheery anthem called "Stochatta." Mathews himself composed a series of longer and more abstract pieces in which the computer was made to approximate the sound of a singing voice. Then, in I961, with Bell physicist John Larry Kelly, he recorded a computer version of the I89z pop song "Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)." Using Vocoder technology, Kelly programmed the IBM 704 to sing the famous song over Mathews's calliopelike electronic accompaniment. Novelist Arthur C. Clarke, who happened to be visiting his friend Pierce, overheard the demonstration and incorporated it into his screenplay for 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which, at the film's climax, the dying computer HAL 9000 offers "Daisy" as his swan song.
You are part of the problem though? You are engaging into political sorting and assuming that because your neighbors are Republican, that they would be uncomfortable with pride flags. Do you even know if they are Republican? How do you know they are not in danger of their safety? What if they are LGBT and support police? What if they are Jewish and support police? So what if they are Republican and support police and they are uncomfortable around pride flags, but its because of their assumptions. The same assumptions and political sorting you are engaging in.

Also assuming vast parts of the country are unsafe because they are mostly Repulican, whereas you would be equally likely to be subject to hate crimes in major cities in blue states no? https://abc7ny.com/hate-crime-lgbtq-new-york-city-pride-mont...

What is terrifying about being a blue collar worker anyhow? Also I fail to see how UBI nad national healthcare would solve it.

What would fix it is less hatred and animosity between groups, and less sorting into groups period. Less apocalyptic rhetoric from all groups. The world isn't ending, its actually doing pretty well for the most part. Being proud to be American. And honestly, people should stop flying a pride flag or a thin blue line flag or any other flag, but the one flag which represents all people in this great country: the flag of the United States of America. That is the only true, completely inclusive flag of this country.
DPC is just concierge-lite; the difference basically comes down to the head count that the provider wants for their practice.

A lot of docs do DPC for a while to build up a client base, then exit to concierge, keeping a third of their previous roster at three times the cost.
A Serial Tech Investment Scammer Takes Up Coding?
It’s incredible how the future is arriving all at once: SpaceX is orbital-testing the new Mars-focused rocket within a few weeks, and AI is ramping up quickly.

It’s a crazy time to be alive.
I wonder how the average game install size trends vs. bytes per dollar of different storage types (HDD and NVME separate). My gut reaction suggests that storage is scaling faster than game install needs, but then I remember back to how MW2019 took up some 200GB. The other muddy thing in this comparison is that it seems gamers play higher proportions of older games as time goes on, the AAA scene is definitely not what it used to be 5-15 years ago.
you can't donate your time. my understanding is, it's not tax-deductible.
I guess I got lucky too. Because I bought a 2012 MBP (the first generation that had the HiDPI Retina displays) and it lasted me over 6 years of daily, hard use. It was still in decent condition but my job at the time got me one of the newer ones. Of course, that one had the bad keyboard and had to be swapped.

The type of fuel cell car that existed in the 1970s were basically undrivable. The first actually usable hydrogen fuel cell car only existed in the last decade.

You're reasoning is the same as all of the wildly short-sighted rhetoric of any burgeoning field. Something that mirrors nearly all green energy developments, including wind, solar, electric cars, etc.

Well, none of the GPT models are self-willed, so it would be a matter of how the GPT powered bot was written that would determine that. I mean, sure, if you pasted every comment here intonthe ChatGPT UI and post the response back as a comment, that would hapoen, but the UI is specifically designed for people who want a response every time.

What I don't understand is why FM has been "modernized" by tying it up in proprietary transmission protocols (hd radio).
I am currently reading 7Powers by Helmer.

If feels like I wont be needing that MBA after all, especially after reading this book.

What would be one book you would recommend?
Yep. Sports talk and game broadcasts, news, and political talk are still pretty big on AM stations.
I really don't need out of laptops that my m1 mac air can't do. Why would I upgrade?
That is difficult.

It constrains you to raising additional money at unfavorable terms whereas executing the cost reduction plan under complete control of current management would give you additional time to postpone the raise at possibly better terms (since your company isn't bleeding as much) and a possibly better fundraising enviroment given where the larger economy is at.

But that is difficult to execute if everyone that matters doesn't want to go down that path.

Good luck in any case.
And your reply neatly encapsulates why, for better or worse, the American economy is more efficient/dynamic. Those immigrating into the country know they'll have to hustle and work to survive and thrive.
I know a comment like this is more about you expressing your emotions than making a coherent point, and I agree there are things to dislike about MacOS. But have you actually used windows lately? The windows that forces tabloid headlines into your start menu?

I’m not sure what you mean by “syndicated blog link” but my experience—and I’m aware it’s just a single data point—is that you don’t have to tailor your content.

You can do it, I’m not arguing against it.

And maybe that would result in more readers. I’m just saying it’s not mandatory and there are alternatives.
I know how you feel. I'm not a lock in like you, I work and am relatively successful and well respected in my job, but I hate the stress and anxiety that goes with it and most days I just want to quit. I wouldn't kill my self though, I'd just get a lower paid, less stressful job. Stacking shelves or cleaning, where I can be by myself and not have much interaction with people. But I carry on working here even though I hate it because commitments.
The GR are only long trails, and there are in fact 70,000 km, according to the French federation.
Waiting doesn't work when Apple do things like ship a working and spec-compliant WebAssembly API which works great so you start using it, then they completely break it in a subsequent update, and leave it both enabled and broken for months. No amount of foresight or caution will save you in that case. It's ultimately the browser maker's responsibility to make sure APIs work.

Why? What should affect whether something is considered is it's likelihood of happening. If AI has a 99% chance of replacing you, then you'd rather consider the 1% alternative simply because there's no place for you anymore?

If AI will replace you there are steps that can be taken to prevent it from replacing you. This involves things like Resistance or changing what you do into something that can't be as easily replaced.

GPT being bad this way, and being bad at "substitute words in all your responses" means it is leaking the abstraction to us. It's because of how its built and how it works. It means it isn't a general problem solving thing: it's a text prediction thing.

GPT is super impressive, I don't know how many times I need to say that, but it isn't intelligent, it doesn't understand the problem, and it doesn't seem like it ever will get there.
From what I see, not an issue for a 4 year old.
> All of them? If not, how to determine which ones?

How does it determine how to respond to any prompt? Exactly. It might reasonably predict responses to those comments that, according to its black box, are somehow most likely to receive a reply. Different GPT instances prompted or trained to have different personalities would choose differently based on their priors and biases.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of human beings are able to reason without really having the slightest idea as to how exactly they do it. Educated humans can use language to talk about reasoning in terms of logic, and even make logic engines out of doped silicon and whatnot, but as of now, none of us has any idea of how reasoning is implemented in the mass of fat and protein that's inside our heads.
I think it's hard to define intelligence, and I wouldn't say (generally) that computer programs are intelligent.

If a building was on fire and you had to save a running instance of stockfish or a newborn, you'd probably pick the newborn.

But! If you do say stockfish is intelligent, sure! GPT is too!
> FWIW, macs are high quality and last a long time.

Except when they’re not and Apple tries very hard to bury the problem while the machine is still relevant, so your choices are either to pay for (expensive) repairs out of pocket or dump it and buy a different model. Then years later once the machine is obsolete for most, will they finally give in and offer a free repair to the lucky ones who have been left holding these hot potatoes of a defective model. Not every time though, sometimes they just won’t accept responsibility at all, ever.

See the GPU issues, the battery issues, the butterfly keyboards, the yellow tinted panels…
My city did exactly that. They created scooter pens from public parking. Cars and delivery trucks would park in them regardless. The scooter parking signs and stickers disappeared. And scooter riders just parked in and around those occupied spaces.

Apparently some of the nearby businesses were upset "their" public parking was taken way. So they intentionally damaged scooter pens or parked in them. Rumored.

Some say in ice.

This is a consequence of max flow/min cut duality if I recall correctly.
> I've been seeing reports of TLOU PC port choking on cards with 10gb of vram, only getting decent once you crest 12gb.

That seems more because devs didn't do a good job in porting a 10 year old game (released in 2013) that ran perfectly fine on a PS3, which only had 256MB of system RAM and 256MB of VRAM. The PC TLOU port is not advancing the state-of-the-art in graphics, it should not be seen as a sign of the new normal.
There are many reasons to be nervous about AI, but this line of argumentation seems unscientific.
I think companies are trying to use the current economic environment as leverage to claw back some rights their workers have gained since 2020. It’s all about control, nothing to do with your output as an employee.
I've gone through a milder version of this since the pandemic.

I was laid off overnight and I moved back to my hometown, and have ever since worked remotely.

Property is extremely expensive in the area, so I'm forced to live with my family despite making more money than all of them combined. My also-employed-friends are doing even worse than me financially, and it has killed my social life completely.

I can see why these Japanese guys feel like that - after all they have always lived in a crisis that may never end. Some people simply give up when they face an endless grind (ironically, this may remind you of some Asian MMORPGs).
Apple rarely updates their entire Mac line at once. Their higher end machines often go years between updates.
I guess my analogy didn't help because the same difference of perspective manifests itself there. To me it seems quite obvious you could never escape the french room without actually gaining an understanding of french; it's simply not possible to "identify the patterns" without understanding the patterns.
i really wish we could see some of the data that has made him change his mind so drastically.
Yes, I have used Windows recently. MacOS barely manages to be the less bad option, but is still essentially useless.

"We don't put ads in your desktop search" is an incredibly low bar. Apple can't do that because Spotlight is too busy reindexing itself again, for some reason. It's embarrassing.
I test drove basically every other EV before getting my Model Y.

They were all a mess in one way or another. Awful software, clunky driving experience, terrible charging experience, etc.

A friend of a friend had their Ioniq 5 die within a month and it took 6 months to get it fixed because they are so low on parts and engineers.

I guess what I'm getting at is that while each of them had some really strong attributes, they all had some deal breaker for me. The Tesla isn't necessarily best at everything, but for the parts that matter to me there was nothing bad.

I think other car makers will be competitive with Tesla in another year or maybe two. But right now the package is refined in Tesla enough.
The real kicker here is that this functionality is blocked not only in China but globally. That is indefensible, at the very least provide some timeline or assurance that such restrictions will be limited to users of that particular country. It is natural to have different rules around content in different countries, whether you agree with those rules or not. But doing it this way you are setting rules for all users based on what the most restrictive, authoritarian countries will allow.

It is the same with Hollywood, they have completely caved in, and it is a mockery of the idea of free and creative expression. Like in any good censorship regime, the creators are chaining themselves, no state intervention needed!

Just incredible.
...except you don't need an infinite number of monkeys. It has been trained to produce protected expressions by virtue of being trained on protected expressions. The probability of it producing a protected expression at some point is 1.
As the other posted mentioned, but also the US works damn hard to make sure we get our fill of cheap shit to keep us content and happy. There are tons of things that we literally tarrif at 0% that other countries hit much higher.

Add into that things like shipping costs in various areas, and it can all add up.

The only difference is that the MacBook Pro has a higher refresh rate and a good SSD. Having used both I assure you a modern "N core" processor with 16gb of RAM, a fast NVMe SSD and a high refresh rate screen feels just as responsive as the latest MacBook Pro.
I have numerous problems with it.

For instance (1) its not immediately clear if this is "sign in to an office" or "sign in to a web site", (2) the last thing I want to do is type in my email address into a poorly motivated web demo, (3) there is no visual indication that I could scroll down to see what this is all about.

I grant though that selling the horizontal product is a challenge. Maybe your target customer sees it differently but that sign in form is something I could code up in less than an hour, it would look like hell and would take me another hour or two to improve it, there are other people who are better at web design and could have it looking great that quickly.

I'd like to see a demo of something that's actually hard or where your product delivers real value because a non-expert could make simple changes to it and have it be... simple.
Yup - I was happily doing everything I always do (as above) on my 15" 2012 MBP w/ 16GB memory up until some power chip on the mobo died. It was only lagging a bit w/ certain websites in Chrome. I still have three other Macs from around 2012 working just fine, one being my music server.

So I was asking myself if I "need" the fancy laptop screen and excellent audio of a 14" MBP for $2K (no video production, no graphic design, no VR/AR, but hey, Electron apps all day long!).

Answer is no, clearly. But any Apple Silicon at this point is (hopefully) another ten year machine.
From a software support perspective macOS is the worst. They don't tell you how long an OS/machine will be supported for they just cut off support whenever they feel like it. So some machines will get 5 years, some 8, it's a roll of the dice. They sort of update N-2 versions but they also don't bring back every bug fix so...

I don't think they spend any real time optimizing for old hardware, for example APFS is just a turd on HDD systems and yet they forced everyone on it and worse yet kept selling HDD iMacs on the low end (which really wasn't that low).

Meanwhile MS announces in advance what the support window will be. With Windows 10 there was barely any difference in requirements from Windows 8 so pretty much everything that wasn't a bottom tier netbook or tablet from 2010 still works fine and is supported until 2025. Meanwhile the 2013 Mac Pro which was an expensive beast and sold until late 2019 won't even get some security updates in 2025.

Linux and the BSDs also announce ahead of time the support period and there's a plethora of options for aging hardware.

I think it's important to be able to receive emergency broadcasts, including in areas with no cell service.

Could those emergency broadcasts be moved to FM, though? Or is there something about AM that makes it more suitable for emergency broadcasts?
