Sending the bill to the government just means that we all pay it through taxes or we all lose when the government prints more cash to cover deficit spending. The cost didn't just disappear because it's charged to the government rather than the patient.

There are at least a few easy changes that could help bring down costs, but they wouldn't be popular. Rolling back much of the legal precedent for malpractice lawsuits would definitely help. Doctors need to be given the freedom to do what they do best, problem solve and treat each patient individually rather than cover their own ass.
I think it only turns on above certain speed and yes, it can get easily confused by various road imperfections.

Jazz bad, eh? It's funny how they (the CIA?) later had a jazz broadcast at Radio Free Europe, maybe to destabilize communist Eastern Europe? Which eventually, they did. Eveyone in their 20s and their neighbour in EE wanted blue jeans and Coca Cola, the militia (commie police) was going after youths to cut their hair short and used razor blades on their contraband blue jeans. Roughly the same rethoric is now used by Russia against LGBT+ and leaders like Orban and Erdogan are keen to adopt it. Also the far right types.
There's some precedent saying corner crossing is not legal. The owner almost certainly bought the property with that in mind.

Judges make the law in this country due to our common law system. The law from 1885 may say that fencing off legally accessible land is illegal, but according to the land owner the supreme court said corner crossing is illegal so the fence in this situation would not count, because it wasn't blocking legal access. The question that matters here is whether corner crossing is allowed, the fence question follows.

I got hired after reaching out to a company (the known as Dopamine Labs) that hit the top page, but it wasn’t one of the monthly threads - one of the founders popped into the discussion with “AMA” so I asked if they were hiring. Took a couple months (December, you know how it goes) but that was a great gig.
I am not a quant but I am working for one. Am I wrong to think that the quant analysts or "scientists" are not actually figuring out something fundamental about the market? You win by being "more complex" than your competition, which in turn makes the whole market more complex and this goes on endlessly.
There are obviously ways it can be "watermarked" easily, put some zero-width unicode characters in the output and you'll notice right away when it's copy and pasted.

But clearly, that can be stripped out easily by anyone who knows it's there.

This process, too, would seem to be easily reversible. Just have it run through another model and tell it to slightly reword it or rephrase it.

I don't think there is a technically solvable way of watermarking output like this.

Also, take note that out of pocket medical costs are only deductible on Federal taxes once they exceed 7.5% of your AGI, and of course, only the amount above that counts. Assuming an average AGI of 65K, the government certainly doesn't feel any pity for you until you pay almost 5K per year.

A few thousand to meet the OOP max shouldn't break you, or at least the government isn't going to cut you a break.
Nah, that's just dumb. Rust's way of all strings being utf-8 and providing the different lengths depending on your needs is far superior.

If you want something else than utf-8 you can use another data type, like a vector of bytes.

Russia: Eh, no. That's just a temporary blip caused by a lot of the people born before 1945 not having made it that far, so the population was unnaturally skewed young. Few elderly to be dying off at the time because a large portion of those people died off 50-60 years prior.

They're set for sharp decline going forward, and changes in geopolitics look likely to dry up or outright reverse their modest immigrant flows from former USSR countries.

I'm a bit confused by the productivity gain you are seeing. For me, it would be faster to just do the react work (assuming I'm in webstorm with its own fast autocomplete) than go back and forth into ChatGPT and explain what I want in natural language and copy the results back in

The only clear win I see is your last example where you are extracting coords into an array. I agree that text transformation like that is a great use of ChatGPT (that's mostly where I use GPT3)
I really like this article. I think impressive how informative it manages to be in such a short space, and how the visual work helps tell the story. I’m definitely going to use this (with full credits) from time to time when the discussions on how a team needs to work with estimations.

What I wish it also included was the not-so-academic parts of estimations. Like how we’re often operating in systems where it is much better to over than underestimate, because it’s much better to never let a client know that you didn’t actually spend that X time compared to letting them know that you need X more. Or how estimating things you’ve done before can also be hard because people don’t actually deliver Y “story points” every week, because sometimes their children get sick, they sleep poorly, whatever. Or how even the most senior developer can spent 3 hours on something silly.

But I guess a lot of that plays into a different sort of discussion. One where we talk about whether a lot of the “control” parts of the work process are actually necessary or just wasted resources. And I don’t want to sound like I think it’s wasted resources, because it can be both and often it’s a combination. Personally I tend to avoid working in areas with too much “control”, if you estimate by anything less than a day, then I’d like not want to work for you. Not because I can’t do it, but because I hate spending time on things that aren’t “the work”. I’m not sure how to include that sort of metric into the discussion, but I think it may be relevant. Because I doubt I’m the only one, and while completely anecdotal, I wouldn’t want to invest in any of the places I wouldn’t want to work because they tend not to do so hot in the long term. So maybe looking at overhead is important? But my sample size is way too small to mean much.
It’s a common argument that somehow people who live in countries with good health coverage have to wait a very long time for health services. Things that are not urgent, this can be true. And you can certainly hear anecdotes here and there about more serious problems. But most of the time for the vast majority of people in the vast majority of situations, healthcare is delivered when it’s needed, on time, without dangerous delay. This talking point that somehow elevates the American approach because it is faster is misguided.
Are you trying to argue that beneficiaries of tax-funded systems like roads, medicare, unemployment, etc don’t pay taxes? Because everyone in the US pays some kind of tax to fund something unless they’re not an adult yet. I’ve worked with several very competent people who were on unemployment at some point but who also paid into unemployment for most of their lives.
Nuisance or not is a false dichotomy. Mandating it rather than simply offering it makes cars even more expensive, by making cheap cars even more unprofitable to sell. Imagine if car ownership becomes increasingly unaffordable, like what homeownership has become.
It absolutely is not. Corner crossing was literally illegal right up until this decision came out. Using fences to enforce that was absolutely allowed since the public land was technically not accessible. This is far from the first case about corner crossing, hopefully it will be the last.

I have a close family member who has had multiple significant surgeries, and it was all covered, and they didn't pay a penny over their annual out-of-pocket maximum.

Maybe the difference is that it was all "elective" and therefore planned out weeks or months in advance, with ample time for insurance pre-approvals?

I've had a harder time getting reimbursed for psychotherapy than they had getting covered for their surgeries.

There’s a difference between generalized arts funding, and ideologically directing fund with the intent of fueling movement that align with your ideology. Imagine if the cia had a tech incubator (imagine, lol. Without googling it, I’m pretty sure they do). They could fund anything that seemed likely to succeed, but then it would just be regular business development. If they fund things that align with a specific set of beliefs and goals, that’s another beast entirely
Throwing money at the problem (e.g. subsidizing healthcare, maternity leave, etc) probably doesn't help. Look at e.g. Australia and other rich western nations. Per capita health care spending is very high. Per capita wealth is very high. Amount of government money spent on various family support programmes is extremely high. Fertility is still low. Lower than poorer nations, in fact.

Partly I think it's because teenagers / young adults are heavily discouraged from pregnancy. Maybe we should as a society push people to marry early, e.g. soon as they finish high school / during uni.
This presentation seems very “let’s get ya going on the Xeon’s we’ve got in Stampede today” focused. Which, to be fair, is probably what lots of researchers who are interested in using (rather than studying) HPC need to know.

I feel like I'm living in the other side of that coin.

I have a great relationship with my self. I'm not enough to fulfill all of my needs.

I'm great at platonic intimacy. I'm super empathetic, and can (and do) get into deeply meaningful friendships very quickly. Sex isn't in this picture.

If I honestly wanted to, I have no doubt that I could find a serious committed romantic relationship. I don't want to. I know that because I know myself.

AI Safety Areas
It's bold to assume that politics is about policy design.
The reality is your health insurance will deny shit until it's blue in the face. In the meantime you have an angry hospital breathing down your neck and sending you bills for $xxxxxx. They don't necessarily talk much to eachother so its now your part time job to make sure everything happens smoothly.

We had a surgery that wasn't completely resolved until about 8 months after the fact after spending 10-15 hours per week on phone calls. The hospital billing told me this was all normal and they usually have to resort to lawyers before stuff gets paid. SOUNDS LIKE EFFICIENCY TO ME! This is just one of a half dozen shitty experiences I've had even with $3k/mo health insurance.

So yeah, in my experience it sucks even if you are insured. The whole system is a dumbass way to do things and a huge waste of fucking time.
> The concept of poverty categorizes people who do not earn enough to live in society

no, the concept of poverty is one where a person is dying due to a lack of basic necessities such as food, shelter. Everything else is not required, such as luxuries etc. It's just that as a country gets richer, what some people consider as basic necessities seems to expand - it has now become a basic necessity to have electricity, internet, transport - things that a hundred years ago, would've been considered the realms of the aristocracy.

The distance to median income is not a measure of poverty, but a measure of how far you are from the typical person in said country - a relative measure. An absolute measure of poverty is caloric intake, access to water and shelter.
Except when people believe this:

> 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.

I'm of course cheekily quoting you back to yourself, but I'm sure you get the point:)
As point of comparison - mean age of first birth for a woman in 1970 was 21.4.

In 2017 it was 26.8. In the kinds of places people on this site usually hail from, it was near 30. (MA being oldest, at 29.3)

Being quite a few years older than when people typically had kids a generation ago, is probably going to result in some differences in how easy it is.

Not saying that's a full explanation either, but it's likely at least part of it.

I, for one, do believe watermarking solutions exist. One thing you cannot escape with LLMs is content meaning.

As a simple example, the secret watermark could be hidden in the embeddings of the sequence of words. To make the watermark more robust against rephrasings, it could be hidden in the meaning of sentences or paragraphs.

At the minimum, I think this could be possible.
roughly 30% of the cost of healthcare is insurance company and hospital staff arguing about who should pay for stuff. another decent chunk (that isn't typically reported) is the cost of judges and lawyers to administer bankruptcy proceedings. getting rid of all the beurocracy would absolutely bring costs down. in fact, one of the hardest parts of single payer healthcare is that moving there quickly would likely cause a recession due to the ~5% of the population that would be laid off
