Not all LEDs are even dimmable, either. For something like streetlamps, which are typically either full off/on, paying extra for brighter dimmables to then run them at a less bright setting doesn't sound an appealing option anyways.

But while we're on the topic of dimmables anyways, quality dimmables should have a switching frequency >1 KHz which is a different kind of flickering than e.g. low quality drivers which flicker at a perceivable rate (50hz/60 hz or double depending on the design).
The only one to blame for people not getting healthcare is the federal US government.

These articles help politicians deflect from the fact that no one other than the US government could possibly provide unlimited healthcare. An individual hospital or healthcare business deciding it cannot afford the losses is just that, a business decision. And since it does not have the power to raise taxes, that is what they have to do.

Show HN: Learn Japanese by Reading on iOS and macOS with Manabi Reader
I’ve quit my job and rewritten my Japanese language learning app, Manabi Reader, over the past year to add some major functionality including Anki integration (tap words while you read to look up and save flashcards with original sentence intact), RSS feeds, user scripts, readability mode, Instapaper-like ‘save for later’, offline support, and native macOS app with redesigned native iPhone and iPad UIs.

I’d like to release within days/weeks but as it’s a pretty hefty app (it tracks every word you read, every sentence and kanji, and tracks your learning progress against JLPT word by word/kanji by kanji; all without violating your privacy, your reading data doesn’t reach our servers), and with the Anki integrations for both Anki Mobile on iOS and Anki desktop via AnkiConnect on macOS, I’d appreciate any feedback during the beta.

The testflight link is active here for now:

https://testflight.apple.com/join/xktDfJ6w

It works on iOS, iPadOS, macOS (more Apple platforms coming).

Your thoughts are much appreciated! Testflight will let you submit screenshots/comments directly or you can reply here with any requests for what you’d like to see next in the app. I have a few good ideas but am always eager to reevaluate plans based on what I learn from users and prospective users. Cheers.

A war machine can be built once and maintained for a long time. Medical care is a personal and time consuming process with multiple parties and tests that need to be coordinated across. All of this is expensive because for every person being given that time of day, there's someone else that needs it. There aren't enough hours in the day and smart people in the country to scale up healthcare.

Contrary to what we would like to believe, there is a scarcity of intelligent people willing to devote their entire lives to the study of medicine across specialties.

If you cannot afford it, the US healthcare is terrible. If you have the means to afford it, the US healthcare system is one of if not the best in the world.

Eh, that's great for you (according to you), but for the millions of folks that are driving around staring at their phones, I am beyond thankful for this technology.

I've been driving a Honda with the all the safety assists for several years and while it does do the occasional erroneous "you need to brake" pre-warning, I've never had it brake unnecessarily.

Anecdotes aside, I'm fairly certain automatic braking is a net reducer of accidents.
> most companies could probably get by with a single machine's worth of data, or rather if they have more than one machine's worth of data those systems probably aren't talking to each other such that they need to be on the same box

one of the things I would like to see in my lifetime is somehow it should be easier to "run the whole enterprise" from one box. Sure, it will probably be seriously underpowered and I can't do all things at once but for most small to mid-size companies, it should be possible to run all our "code" from one machine.

I think of this as some kind of development or pre-qa environment.
It really shouldn't be that big of an ask...

I am thinking most, if not all, companies will be able to fit their entire enterprise on a Supermicro A1+ server with two 96-core processors.
Sure, there is no machine in the world that can fit all of YouTube videos but there is no reason why we can't have YouTube, with a limited set of non-production data, running from just one box. Thoughts?

I agree generally - the people who say college has no value are generally the ones with degrees and with the privilege to send their kids (any time someone says that, ask if their kids are going to college).

But per the article, Grant claims to have research and data. I wouldn't be so quick to disimiss it.

One weakness (perhaps addressed in the article) is that life is so much more than career. While important, it's not even the most important thing among many. Education - knowledge; reasoning, critical thinking, problem solving, and learning skills - is valuable for almost everything in life.

This sort of reductionism - of education to money-making - assumes the extreme anti-intellectual arguments are true. Ironically, that kind of rhetorical attack - building your claim into the assumptions - is a sophisticated method used by those trained in the humanities, and recognized (hopefully) by those who study the humanities.
Wow this is great - thank you for writing it!
Bringing up "post scarcity" here is a straw man.

The US medical system has been systematically optimized for extracting the maximum possible amount of money from every patient, part of which is artificially restricting available supply of medical care (although things are slightly getting better in that regard with practicing nurses and PAs)

The other thing it was optimized for was hiding this from the patients.

And only now, in 2023 are we beginning to see the horrible extent of this, because of price transparency rules.

Why did you keep bringing the culture war into your post? You can just say you don't like it when people recline their seats during drink service without grinding your axe like this.
Agreed. If people are getting bumped too harshly with seats, maybe the seats are the problem - FTA:

Elliott puts the blame for such incidents mostly on airlines. By effectively selling a seat space twice — to the passenger directly in front of the seat as well as the person immediately behind it — carriers have left it to passengers to duel over precious cabin space.
I don't understand you, this post completely contradicts your original one.

Why make a snarky remark about how people from the US don't understand being mindful of others while at the same time commenting on how people in Asia don't seem to be mindful of others when it comes to lines, and then straight up saying that people in the US are mindful of that very same thing?

I’m literally quitting my cushy senior executive job at megacorp X because I would rather program remotely at a discount. I don’t seek any sympathy for my situation, I’m doing good. But I refuse to be forced into the past and if they value my corporeal presence over my ability to make value for them, then they get neither. My happiness and sanity is worth more than their obsessive need to control everyone and force people to work the way management works best, rather than the way the employee produces best. I support folks that dig working in office, but I resent being told to work their way if it doesn’t work for me.
We spend 5-8x more on healthcare than defense. You have to ration somehow. If everyone use as much of the healthcare system as we wanted it would consume our society.

In the US, we ration by price… “the doctors expensive and I don’t feel too bad so I’m not going to go”. In Europe, they ration via lines… you’ll get your free healthcare eventually.

Either way there are problems, but seems like other countries might be onto something
I’m genuinely curious about the PR value of placing this story in an Indian business journal.
Then why is the button there? It doesn't make sense for their to be a button that you should never press. I'm not buying it.

People say reclined seats cramp their knees. I don't understand that. I'm 6'. The pivot point of the seat back aligns directly with my kneecaps. It makes zero difference at all to my knee space when the seat in front of me reclines. Maybe I have short shins.

I've never asked for permission to recline, nor has anyone asked it of me. This seems fine.
I've almost had my laptop crushed a few times by people reclining.

I don't hate it if they're actually sleeping, but otherwise it's just frustrating to be behind someone reclining.

Your mindset doesn't count for the wasted time on being lowballed by companies. Say you have your 20 years of experience, you go through several rounds of interviews and they offer you a junior level salary with their big fat smile. Now what? They wasted your time from the very beginning hoping to charm you into wanting to work there. The people interviewing you are all getting paid, yet you are the one who have time loss and no gain. Now imagine if multiple companies did that to you throughout your job search, wouldn't you rather the company start with honesty from the very beginning?
Good. Most of our modern problems are due to too many people. House prices, inflation, traffic, pollution, climate change, food scarcity, water, etc...
Here's an example of a "technically true" but deceptive statement: he says that he has no financial interest in OpenAI. But there's no way that someone couldn't be the head of a huge, influential organization and not be able to use it to obtain power. For instance: at this point, Microsoft pretty much owns it (they have 100% access to the models and could cut it off at any time). Is it merely coincidence that Microsoft agreed to purchase power from the fusion company he backed?

Another example: I've noticed that a lot of times I'll get "network errors" while chatting with ChatGPT. However, this is while I'm SSH'd into a remote machine with zero latency. I think they realized that they could shift the blame from their server capacity issues to "network errors" because that made the consumer feel like it was their fault, not OpenAI's.

Another example: One of the developers of EleutherAI talked about how they tried to implement OpenAI's original model based on their paper. They were struggling to get it to work. So they actually talked to researchers who wrote the paper and discovered that a lot of what was in the paper wasn't what they did at all.

Worst of all, he is trying to create a crypto token. That would disqualify almost anyone in my book.

No, its not. Its also not inconsistent with it being on the front page. Even if one assumes that the reason that it is on the front page is class sympathy with the party who prevailed on most of the issues, and not any other reason…”disproportionate” is not “exclusive”.

I’ve never accused HN of being a unitary hive mind (in fact, if you go through my posting history, you’ll see that’s an idea that I frequently mock.)

That doesn’t mean, though, that it is a representative – demographically or ideologically – slice of the population, either, and the ways it isn’t ideologically reflect, largely, the ways it isn’t demographically.
Fuzzy primary keys might have been a deterrent in the past century, but I seriously doubt that they'd stop anyone today from creating detailed user profiles. Not having reliable primary keys is a technical non-solution for a regulatory problem.

The much more effective solution here is to regulate businesses in when they can request/use somebody's primary key and/or other PII, and to simply not allow it in any case where a pseudonymous identifier or partial information (e.g. only somebody's approximate age rather than their full date of birth) would do just as well.
> No one other than the US government could possibly provide unlimited healthcare.

Not even they could do that. I've lived in a country with universal government-funded healthcare; many things are better than the US system (low bar, I know), but wait times are very long and standards of care aren't magically any less sucky.
I agree with the article that it would be nice to give the person behind you a heads up. I am always worried about my laptop being broken when someone slams their seat back. At the same time it is really difficult to use my laptop then because my keyboard ends up so close to my chest.

Ever heard of preeclampsia? Me neither, till last week. Now my wife and I will be in the hospital for another 8 weeks. I’m super looking forward to the bill.

In reality I’m grateful we live in the future. One overlooked thing with medical debt is that while it’s awful, you still end up healthy at the end of it. A hundred years ago we wouldn’t have been so lucky.

It’s weird waking up in a hospital each day. Time starts to lose meaning. There are only so many times you can count the ceiling tiles.

I wonder what nine weeks in the hospital will end up being though. $100k seems not even close to the bottom line price.
The weirdest part is that I’m pretty sure women generally want a replacement rate (or more!) number of children when surveyed, but feel like they’re unable to support that number. Why can’t we address those?

What I do like about reddit. It is still one place where you just use an email address and nick name. So you can be anonymous. Or reasonable anonymous. No one looking back 10 years back into your posts to cancel you for something you said that in that time maybe was not an issue.

I was so reluctant making a Facebook account back in the day because they wanted your REAL identity. Man I was a nickname on irc or on the internet in general. That was what I loved about it.

Usenet was the same you could just use throw away email account and just say whatever. Ask whatever without being scared.

Reddit is the only place where you still can do that.
Perhaps, instead, we can see this as a good thing and plan a graceful way back to a more sustainable population over the course of a century. Just yesterday yet another in a long line of reports talked about how humanity has not just bent but likely broken many of the Earth's ecological boundaries that humans and non-humans alike depend upon. We've known this for decades -- mountains upon mountains of studies in ecology, climate science, and many more fields. We've largely chosen to ignore it all and keep forging ahead with resource consumption and waste production.

Part of the challenge to conventional logic of what I wrote above is that the economy, in standard neoclassical economic thought, is separate from the ecosystem. The two interact, but are entirely distinct. Sometimes human society is another distinct third bubble. Instead, ecologists have long known that the ecosystem of today (and likely for the decades of concern here) contains human society which contains the human economy. So, we're better off planning a graceful descent -- one that will have less competition for resources and less harm to the global ecosystem.

I agree, I mean voting literally hides comments, and if someone is being mean or rude it at least tells you other people think they’re being unreasonably rude. Which hopefully makes you feel better about it and consider that it may not dignify a response.

Moderation is complicated by sitewide moderation requirements (which result in the sub being banned if not followed or inherently part of the topic, or the moderation replaced if followed but too slow) and cabalistic supermod groups. If we instead used the web then typical DMCA and other procedures could be followed, and European users wouldn’t get American laws (eg Reddit bans discussion of some kinds of grey market drug vendors because the drugs are illegal in the US, despite being legal in many European countries) foisted on them.
> I've never seen it happen here in the US but nearly every Asian flight I've been on during the food service they'll tell you to put your seat up.
