There is a book I recently purchased called "Never Pay The First Bill". It covers this exact kind of scenario and tells you what to do step by step, all the way up to small claims court, though you usually don't need to go that far. Highly recommended.

More than likely you're going to need to get an itemized bill from the hospital listing the actual icd-10 charge codes and amounts for each service. Then you will need to cross reference this with your insurance's Explanation of Benefits document, which shows what the insurer paid for each code and the remaining that you owe. If there are any codes missing, there has been a miscommunication between the hospital and insurance, and the insurance was not billed for something. It is also possible there will be errors in the codes themselves, charging you for things you did not receive or received less than they said (charge code for 1 hr complex appointment when your appointment was 10 minutes). In this case, you will need to request your medical records, and cross reference them with the charge codes to dispute the wrong codes.

It also tells you how to deal with collection agencies.
Oh definitely. I wouldn't call it a toy either, it's just weird that nobody bothered to make something more ready to consume.
No, that was never why plantations existed.
Im sure that was the only factor involved.
> why are we still wasting so much energy, and impacting wildlife, and hurting millions of people's circadian rhythms, blasting streets with light all night?

For pedestrians?

(I agree with your reasoning as it applies to highways, but most of the world's light pollution from overhead street lighting comes from lighting done either 1. within dense cities, or 2. within industrial complexes — in both cases to aid people walking around outside at night.)
Plus Go is just so nice with the automatic IO handoff. But in a functional language I really don't think it's as big a limitation- still large, but not as bad as it could be. The pattern of writing mostly small, pure functions and then piping them together with channels all at the end is pretty workable.
Many points stated well. Agree. Now, I’m not certain of this, but I’m starting to get an intuition that duct-taping databases to an agent isn’t going to be the answer (I still kinda feel like hundreds of agents might be).

But these optimizations are applications of technology stacks we already know about. Sometimes, this era of AI research reminds me of all the whacky contraptions from the era before building airplanes became an engineering discipline.

I would likely have tried building a backyard ornithopter powered by mining explosives, if I had been alive during that period of experimentation.

Prediction: the best interfaces for this will be the ones we use for everything else as humans. I am trying to approach it more like that, and less like APIs and “document vs relational vs vector storage”.

Latex is a shibboleth that will get you points in the minds of certain types of engineers looking at your resume. Its a bad signal to evaluate candidates on, but it probably does have some effect.

You don't need to use latex to benefit from this though. Just use computer modern.
Why your TCP-based VPN stutters (and how to fix it)
> You get an error is the worst that happens.

That certainly depends on what eBPF is used for. If your load balancer errors out at [greatest number of connections envisioned] and an adversary manages to establish [greatest number of connections envisioned] then the result is a denial of service.

Not every operator is confident in making code changes in 3rd party software or might even be allowed to make such changes. Increasing resources o.t.o.h., e.g. adding RAM, is rarely banned. I sure would want a system to make best use of available resources.
It's not to reduce light pollution, it's to have all the light pollution be in an exceptionally narrow band that the observatory can then filter out.

The reason LED lights are so terrible for astronomers is because although they require much less light to achieve the same visibility, the spectrum is very spread out across multiple peaks, with different manufacturers having different peaks.
I am not a lawyer, but I think Terms of Service only apply if you want to... continue receiving/using the service. So even if it the TOS does have a forced arbitration clause and OP takes FB to court instead, I believe that would just mean FB could then say "You broke the TOS so we're going to suspend your account" which they've already done and so there is no incentive for OP to abide by it unless they care/expect to be able to do further business with FB in the future.

(If someone with experience with these things can provide additional clarification or correction, I'd appreciate it!)
I wouldn't expect a human to fail at the single line version. It's pretty easy to do. Write a list, at each position n in the list, compute the sum of the nth least-significant bit and the carry from the line above. You can easily get the nth least significant bit by counting from the right side of each number. The end result is the list printed backwards.
How about: “I discussed this with Neil Postman, and he believes that <…>”?

That definitely sucks. I saw some other reports in this thread that Microsoft phone support can fix problems with the email/account connection flow. Maybe that’ll work for you. I’ve had to call MS to fix Office 365 problems before at work, that shouldn’t have been a problem. Calling can bypass your ticket system status if you escalate.

> Also this is the first time I saw examples of Julia code and the syntax looks worse than C++.

For someone who writes both Julia and C++, the above comment comes across as an obscene joke.

Possibly, you object to the programming style in that library, the choice of identifiers or whatever? But that has nothing to do with language syntax.

I'm not sure who stole your shit because I've never seen it around here, so it must have landed somewhere else - maybe you should go look elsewhere. When you talk about "crimes", I don't feel that you've even began to understand what a Communist regime can do to a country. Read about Collectivization one day, or about Solovki camps.

We did not share anything, the USSR breastfeeded the Eastern Europe for a few decades while starving its own Russian population like the proverbial reverse colony which siphons wealth from its core, and you came out really entitled. Of course, they were all so bad at economy that nobody was feeling exactly well off, but I'm not sure why you would blame that on Russians specifically, who are the main victims of the whole marxist hodge podge.

The first PaLM paper is just over a year old. It's wild how much the AI space has advanced since.
I think that's a stretch, but Al Qaeda was basically eradicated or forced into hiding between 9/11 and the beginning of the Afghan invasion in a desperate attempt to keep the US from attacking. Al Qaeda was in essence a name for bin Ladin's bank account, because he was doing VC funding for training fighters and making audacious attacks against the US and the Saudi royals. That financing source was cut immediately, and Ladin-financed people trapped in Afghanistan had to figure out how to escape a country filled with locals who thought (correctly) that the US was going to come and murder everybody because of what these foreign fighters had been doing.

After that, the US called everything in the Middle East that it wanted to kill "Al Qaeda" and made "The Taliban," i.e. the local government, somehow "Al Qaeda" too, or maybe even worse.

What was "Al Qaeda" and what was "Freedom Fighter" was based on whether we wanted to topple the government or not and unrelated to any qualities or beliefs of the groups. We poured money and weapons into some radical Islamist groups while executing others.
Diffing the DSM
No we don't. As one of my professors said: We're like flees on the butt of a dog trying to figure out which way the dog is going.

We are seeing new species emerge.

We are seeing lions eat seafood when that wasn't previously the norm.

We are seeing things no one predicted.

To be clear, I'm not saying "Don't worry! Be happy!" I'm saying we routinely talk like we know things with a certainty that doesn't actually exist.
How to Get Energy for Your Natural Bodybuilding Workouts [video]
> If it weren’t for cultural issues it would be more popular and cheaper to simply wear a climate controlled suit rather than have AC. There are also some comfort issues that would need to be resolved I suppose.

To be clear, the Fremen should not be an aspirational goal.
Big deal if allowed to stand after its inevitably appealed.
I suppose it could. I'm spoiled in that the places I have worked on micro-service architectures had either massive kubernetes clusters with 100s of services or were using ECS backed by EC2. I have an intermediate level understanding of those deployments, how to make them robust and scalable, etc.

After seeing the bill I even considered looking into a single instance deploy of multiple containers. Outside of running my own kubernetes cluster I was aware of some blog posts I had read on using docker compose for production. I have no production experience doing this so I don't know how to make it robust, secure, scalable, etc. I could learn.

But then I remembered a tip on optimization I learned while I was working in the video games industry. I was working with a guy who was focused on performance optimization. He told me that a common mistake junior engineers made when given optimization problems was that they would try to make the code faster as their first step. One way that is a mistake is to assume something is taking a lot of time without profiling first. But another mistake is to optimize a process that can be eliminated. He quipped: The fastest thing you can do is nothing at all.

So rather than optimize container deployments ... why not eliminate them? That honestly seems faster to me than trying to productionize a docker compose deployment just so I can say I am using micro-services. I mean, as this post and many others have mentioned - micro-services add complexity already. It seems more optimal to me to remove the micro-service complexity and save myself the hassle of fighting with docker compose or whatever other single-instance solution might exist.

And if I get solid ARR and I feel fine spending $1000/month on infrastructure, I'll probably just use a managed container hosting solution. I've split up a lot of apps into micro-services and in general it is very easy to do when needed.
Docs user feedback and how to deal with it
A right is not given to you by an authority. You are free to live your life, as long as you don't control/damage other people.

The State takes away your right to live your life and use your property, and empowers Corporations to make them richer at your cost. In the meantime, the State murders a lot of people.

Your rights must be enforced by yourself until free-market alternatives to the State are created
Who is going to jail for this?
One of those things that happens when your country is too rich and peaceful.
I was in a developing country where such things are rarely if ever enforced by law. Though, because many HVAC systems are imported, they automatically satisfy reasonable standards.

Our company had ethics enough to try and enforce such reasonable standards without any external pressure.
I had something similar happen with a Facebook recruiter. I didn't reply to her first two emails so she started emailing my mom to try to get in touch with me. My mom called me because she thought it was a phishing email. I had never had that happen before.

Do you always link to articles supporting your opponents view? (Hint: read the last section of the article)
Back in the day I was auditing our support contracts for a place that I worked at. Basically figuring out if we were getting what we were paying for.

My favorite "overpriced support contract" was for an Oracle product. The cost of support was seven figures, and in the entire year a single phone call had been placed to support.
His bar is that he doesn't merge bad or redundant code. He's turned down major features for this before (eg. NTFS support) and would certainly do it again if someone suggested a 10,000 SLOC patch for LLM support that works fine in Ring 2.

Of course, nothing stops you from forking the kernel and doing the heavy lifting yourself. That's why I asked which features they need first, though.
They don’t have to hire you every two weeks but they are paying for you and do have to decide how to allocate your time and plan various projects with interlocking dependencies. How can they do that without even a rough idea of how many people it takes for how long to accomplish anything? You are, in effect, still asking them to write you a blank check to accomplish something when they might want to change gears if apprised of how difficult it is.
A "fair use" win.

Neat.

Right on.
Ahh... yes, I see now, fair point
> Common Lisp borrowed parts of the smalltalk development strategy. You can start a process and gradually update it in very sophisticated ways as you live code against it.

Lisp had interactive programming a decade before Smalltalk. The interactive PDP-1 Lisp is from 1963. BBN Lisp was based on it. Which then was taken over by Xerox PARC as Interlisp.

BBN Lisp / Interlisp already had a very sophisticated programming environment in 1970, including a built-in structure editor for Lisp.
Yeah, taste is taste. I do get it- it's why I like Clojure's syntax more than CLs, but man I don't get commas. Or even Elixir, I love the language but its always painful to come back to the syntax. Pipe operator aside, that is.

tl;dr: the motive behind every mass shooting is to kill people with a gun, according to this post.

Which is like saying "the motive behind every theft is stealing", or "we're going to the dentist because we have a dentist appointment". You're definitely not going to solve the shooting problem with this depth of analysis.
any relevant research on how much of that higher-than-tap-water TDS content makes it into the plants? I'm not sure I'd want to use this brine (plants also aren't huge fans of saltwater) to water an edible herb garden, for example.

If your job is a real script: sure, handle locking in it.

If it's a single command or pipeline... adding the layer of indirection to have a script that runs flock is more opaque. Might as well put it in cron and trust cron to only run it once.
Electric hydrofoil boats offer new way to commute
Navier, a small Bay Area hard tech startup, wants to shorten your commute with electric hydrofoil boats.
The article-- even the title-- says last call. Mojang changed the locks, and they're telling the subset of users they're about to throw away the only mechanism to swap keys from the old system. Any real-world analogy would illustrate the policy is incompatible with any sort of perpetual right of access. I actually think it's Microsoft taking the reputational hit.
Right, the monitoring cost with datadog of my little business would be 7 figures (and revenue is only 7 figures!!) I mean, I guess they want to exclude people like me.. but then why market to me?

> more people aren't talking about how Microsoft has a near monopoly on the developer ecosystem.

But do they? In my day job, outside of the occasional use of Visual Studio and developing on a Windows machine, I use no Microsoft products for development.

With a fair number of younger developers, but certainly not all. Most devs I know don't think of Microsoft any more kindly now than in the past.

There's a distinction between biologically modern and behaviorally modern humans. Biologically modern humans have been dated to at least as early as 300k years ago. However behavioral modernity, is more recent. There's debate about how exactly to define things and draw a line, but it's generally around 70k years ago.

The article isn't particularly well written but that's probably what they're referring to.

Seems like thie brine from desalination plants should be pumped into tailing ponds and dried out to get useful minerals out of it that could then be sold to help offset the cost and environmental impact of desalination. https://news.mit.edu/2019/brine-desalianation-waste-sodium-h... looks like this is not an original idea :)
Thanks, but none of your points amount to a rebuttal.

"The degree to which opposing parties were suppressed under Pinochet far exceeds the measures taken under Allende."

That's like saying if Stalin didn't kill people directly, it'd have been 'all good'.

The 'widespread interventions' by these Communist tin pots is 'very destructive' to people's lives and they touch everyone. That is the measure of oppression, not the number of 'protesters that got arrested'.

Pinochet was about as bad as 'early Putin', and many other turds that we deal with today. It was 'acutely' bad for the socialist usurpers who imprisoned, but it wasn't a horrible state for most others, and that matters a lot.

Pinochet was a pendulum swing as a direct result of a clear and unambiguous Soviet-supported takeover, that doesn't justify much of his actions but it certainly explains it.

"By "takeover" you mean the 1936 election where the left won power?"

I mean the left in 1930's Spain were agitating murderous thugs using every means to take over the country, including rigging elections (including 1936), voter intimidation and suppression, rigging ballots, violence/murder etc. and that Franco was a reaction to that. In that story, the Communists/Anarchists are absolutely the violent instigators (and inspiration for Orwell's writings) and definitely without material popular support for their revolutionary terms (obviously some support but not the kind of supermajority you need to socialize everything). And so, the pendulum swings.

And that's not even the only analogy, there are a handful of those in the 20th century.

Datadog from when I was looking at them (2017ish) appeared to be an automatic version of nagios with a nice user interface and super simple client side installer.

We are remodeling our house so we fished coax and ethernet through the office, to TVs, and to strategic mesh hotspot areas.

When I hooked up my modem to the new coax in my office, the modem appeared to connect. However, my TPLink Deco (mesh network) wouldn't connect to the modem. I could hardwire my laptop into the modem and it worked. Confused, I spent a few hours, unplugging, resetting the Deco (never want to do that again), and finally giving up.

I told my electrician about it when he passed by a few days later and he cut off the coax tip and put a new one on. Lo and behold it worked. The Deco connected.

I'm still confused. His insight was that maybe the Deco was tracking the signal and the tip didn't have a clean connection.
