Looks like it's W50.3XXA if it was accidental. Or Y04.8XXA if it was intentional. If you were the communist and bit yourself on the upper right arm it would be S40.871A or S41.151A depending on how deep the bite went.
I value the freedom to not die because medical care is too expensive over the freedom to profit off of the sick.
Ok, I'll bite, we are already at the 6th reply, who cares anymore.

The alternative solution is, shortly put, to quote Geoffrey Hinton: socialism [1]. Longly put: fully automated luxury communism [2].

Once the first two tiers of Maslow's pyramid (physiological and safety needs) are covered by automated systems people will be truly free; some will express themselves in writing, and expecting copyright protection over their work will seem as ridiculous as if one of us today would start charging money from people for using the word "the" [3]. We are currently tasked to give rise to the automated systems.

Sorry, to Gordian problems [4] I have only Gordian solutions.

Historically the progression has been (oversimplified):

some sort of reciprocal/mutual aid economy -> exchange (usually external) -> joining in with currency and capitalism

In my view the clear main factor is external disruption that forces groups into the market/currency based economy. That, plus the difficulties to control bad actors if you had a more informal system at huge scale (millions of people).

Without the external economic disruption you simply just don't get much diversity.

As far as specific events, things like disaster assistance volunteer operations in the West tend to be both religiously and ethnically diverse yet performed independently of expected remuneration. Otherwise it's not like we're observing huge samples if we restrict ourselves to looking just for communities that have both been religiously and ethnically diverse. Is the failure of any such alternate community to last for centuries - when the opportunity has barely even been there for that long - conclusive at all?
Irregardless... :)
Bret Victors Dynamicland research project/group, although there is not very much to follow publicly, but the occasional glimpses are always full of very interesting ideas.
It is a very natural feature. Especially when you are writing mathematical code e.g. implementing different types of numbers, e.g. automatic differentiation, interval arithmeic, big ints, etc.

Overloading gives user defined types the expressiveness of internal types. Like all features, of they are used badly (e.g when + is overloaded to an operation which can hardly be interpreted as addition) it makes things worse. But you can write bad code in any language, using any methodology.
I use this but would love something that’s better at tagging content and face recognition. Photoprism misses the mark often, and it’s also not very easy to fix mistakes.

Edit: for example, just yesterday I uploaded ~30 photos of my girlfriend. It recognized her in one photo and didn’t even identify her face as a face in the rest.

I also don’t understand what’s doing the processing for the facial recognition. Is my cpu doing it or is an external service doing it?

To follow up on Raouf's comment, here is a blog post[0] that describes Neon's architecture in more detail.

That sounds similar to the account state storage used in blockchains. In some of those, high performance and high space consumption are technical challenges, and the tendancy to have a lot of random keys (hashes) adds another.

I wonder if TigerBeetle would be suited to those storage performance challenges, and conversely if the low-level storage optimisations in certain implementations of blockchain account history would be more broadly applicable to the financial applications targeted by TigerBeetle.
2k and they double it from time to time.
Use it with UBLOCK extension. And set it to max security. Basically no 3rd party stuff. Not even first party scripts. And allow scripts globally from a limited set of 3rd party sites, and based on each website.

It makes for a par experience.
The science behind skipping stones
We own a clinic and medicare pays decent enough.

Medicaid isnt enough to run a business. Its like break even if you are super efficient.

Private insurance is sooo cash money. If someone with private insurance wants us to get access to a pool for therapy, you got it.

All 3 are good for us owners.

None of it is good if you pay taxes.
Ironically the example you cite of how not caring about things fixes them was actually a perfect example of a whole lot of people caring about something quite a lot and crafting policy to fix it.

Stop caring about the world around you at your own peril. I'd say at risk of moral hazard but clearly that's not an argument likely to interest you.
Money in itself is not an argument for FTC involvement. E.g. the wedding industry is also enormous, within an order of magnitude of the video game industry in the US.
I appreciate the feedback, and also agree that chatgpt is a no-go for many use cases.

We're working on putting together a better comparison specifically along the lines of accuracy between the LLMs (chatgpt, bard, falcon) and also traditional models. Hope that one hits the spot for you! Are their specific metrics you think might be interesting? We were primarily looking at f1/accuracy for this task, but also attempting to see what types of classes they work well in using semantic similarity.
Well I'm glad telecoms were privatised, we have great competition, I shop around every two years and end up with a great deal. Compare that to the early 80s waiting god knows how long for a phone line.

Railways were privatised because government couldn't afford the investment required. But because of rail unions I'm currently subsidising rail travel I don't use.

Energy market competition has been destroyed by price controls (thanks Mrs May).

I can't read all the article because of the paywall. Nothing on archive.org yet. Maybe these points have already been addressed.
Ask HN: Where to find a physician or healthcare co-founder?
Currently building https://www.radiantai.health/ and while we have the tech stack down, we're looking to hire/bring on a physician co-founder. However, we found that a lot of senior doctors are mostly checked out/uninterested in disrupting their workflow, while the junior doctors (residents) don't have any political say in their org. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue before and where to find interested/motivated healthcare domain SMEs!
> But if you're not a windows admin that knows this stuff already do you really want to invest your time in wrangling a increasingly hostile OS?

Sometimes it's needed for certain applications, so one has to at least run it in a VM perhaps.

I do Linux sysadmin stuff, but we have to deal with Windows clients, and so I many need it a (home) lab to play with things. I can do domain-y stuff with Samba 4 at least.
> Yes they do

I meant while applying to their own position. Not between corps. The CEO market is artificially small.
lol right?

Halo would have been a flop if it was Mac exclusive.

Keep in mind, this was back in the year ~2000. Mac market share in the home user market was a rounding error. Schools were full of iMacs, but at home, it was all Windows.
They've said repeatedly that they will push the limits to failure on their own dime (Starlink payloads) and in the mean time, they have a fleet that can meet almost any emerging demand by simply delaying a Starlink launch here and there. This allowed them to sweep up all the Russian business and now increasingly the ULA and EU business as those rockets continue to be delayed.
I'd love to have a better name for this, and am quite willing to change my description of it when I find one.
I'm not disagreeing with you as I write this, but there are many people who act like Hawaii is some kind of obscure appendage instead of being a state just like the other 49 states.

Puerto Rico is as close to a state as it's possible to be without actually being a state.
On our benchmarks, Claude v2 scores worse than v1 in categories “code”, “docs”, “integrate” and “marketing”.

It also is more chatty than v1 (or GPT-3/4), even when asked to just pick one option out of three.

These benchmarks are product oriented - they contain tests and evals from our LLM-driven products. So they aren’t exhaustive or representative.

We just want to know when local LLMs are good enough to start migrating some pipelines away from OpenAI.
Will the 128 bits be enough to address all atoms in all universes?
if it helps, that's just the stars and galaxies we're capable of observing. There's probably more :)
I think you're absolutely right! What OP tries to bravely build here, does not need such a complex architecture, even if they want to turn it into a SaaS solution.

I also feel that your comment is slightly ironic, given the poor performance of Notion. I'm almost thinking (without having any clue about Notion's architecture) that Notion could benefit from a more complex architecture that prioritizes performance.
Vet in tech here. Vets are generally socioeconomically disadvantaged compared to the average tech employee. They rarely come from great school districts, and the military is one way to give them a leg up on the system that held them down, via a decent paying job, and path to “free” college education and retirement.

Rich kids and those from top school districts (generally) don’t end up in the military. In the end, it’s all about education and opportunity. Most folks who enter the military see it as a way to get more of both.
Companies are going to grow around this data. An entire industry might grow around this data, and it will be an industry that I support every time I pay an insanely high insurance premium or medical bill.

15% of our workers are in the medical system [0], and this doesn't even include the surrounding insurance industries or pharma industries (I think). Someone has to pay all these people, and that someone is me when I pay high insurance premiums and high medical bills.

I'm picturing a satirical 40s style poster that shows the doctor putting a bandaid on Timmy's knee, and then mom doing her patriotic duty and writing out a $1000 check. The poster then shows that the $1000 supports medical coders who know all the codes for duck attacks, and the pharma advertisers who one-up even Broadway and Hollywood with their 90-second advertisements, and the people who reassemble the poorly organized data this article talks about, and--oh yeah, there's a few bucks left for the doctor too.

I used to work at a company that does background checks on doctors. We'd gather data from all 50 states, all of it in different formats, all of it a pain to work with. Hundreds of people were involved in this process, all of us ultimately paid through high hospital bills (hospitals were our customers). With the right regulation, we all could have been replaced with a 50 line Python script.

Ultimately, if we're going to build a medical system that takes 15% to 20% of our workers to run, then we're going to have to pay for that. The problem is that "let's make the industry more efficient and put a lot of people out of work" is not politically popular.

I feel the same!

Its like the *Continuum Transfunctioner* from the film "Dude, Where's My Car", in that, its a powerful and mysterious device! lol :-)
Medical billing is a dreary business. Check out https://www.reddit.com/r/CodingAndBilling/. It's not clear that anyone is _trying_ to build an empire out of this. More likely, they're trying to build a bigger trash heap to climb on top of.
This is a very interesting idea. I think I could use a BladeRF, it has two input channels. I hope the two channels are perfectly synchronized, by glancing at people's projects it seems that they are.
You asked if I had anything to back up my claim that “Lina Khan and the FTC have been brazenly bought and sold by a foreign company and weaponized against US consumers.” I provided my evidence: their actions to date supporting foreign powers and companies at the expense of US companies and consumers.

It’s fine that you dislike my argument or conclusion. That doesn’t mean that my evidence doesn’t back them up.
Yep, this seems like surface level complexity. Like adding a new/non-existing key to a dictionary, it shouldn't surprise us that there can be different codes for getting bitten by different things
Per federal law (ACA), health insurers in the US are required to spend 80% to 85% of revenues on healthcare expenses. Their profit margins are 2% to 6%. Therefore, the higher the revenue, the higher the profit.

Where is the incentive to deny legitimate claims?

How would players be harmed by an IP changing hands and being made exclusive on a particular platform?
I'm not sure the line count is a good measure of productivity.

Is that true on the note of "optimizing for developer time"? Do people actually have an understanding of the tradeoff they are making? Do the teams building applications in Java actually know what it would take to do them in C, and choose that the tradeoff is too big? Does the Typescript backend developer know what it would take to do the same in C++ and decide against it?

Or are they mainly working out of a preconceived bias that their favorite language is best and that everything else is worse?

For the 5 µs, I recall a currency conversion system(tin-cup) with in-memory currency rates whose only job was to convert incoming requests to USD. Ignoring the fact that this should never have been an independent system. This seems like a perfect use case for working in a highly optimized environment. ;)
On our benchmarks, Claude v1 beats GPT-3.5 (v0613) while v2 looses to it.

What are you basing that on?
No mention of number of parameters or whether it's a bigger or different design compared to claude 1.
They can and likely will get many millions, perhaps tens of millions of subscribers. This is a build out. Once the build out is complete, it'll be maintenance at lower costs. Starship launching v2 and v3 sats with increased capacity and ever increasing value as a second internet backbone will assure they have more than enough business to keep this all going -- probably better and longer than Comcast can keep it's tens of millions of cable internet users.
That looks very interesting.

I actually have developed (and am developing) sth very similar, what we call the RETURNN frontend, a new frontend + new backends for our RETURNN framework. The new frontend is supporting very similar Python code to define models as you see in PyTorch or Keras, i.e. a core Tensor class, a base Module class you can derive, a Parameter class, and then a core functional API to perform all the computations. That supports multiple backends, currently mostly TensorFlow (graph-based) and PyTorch, but JAX was something I also planned. Some details here: https://github.com/rwth-i6/returnn/issues/1120

(Note that we went a bit further ahead and made named dimensions a core principle of the framework.)

(Example beam search implementation: https://github.com/rwth-i6/i6_experiments/blob/14b66c4dc74c0...)

One difficulty I found was how design the API in a way that works well both for eager-mode frameworks (PyTorch, TF eager-mode) and graph-based frameworks (TF graph-mode, JAX). That mostly involves everything where there is some state, or sth code which should not just execute in the inner training loop but e.g. for initialization only, or after each epoch, or whatever. So for example:

- Parameter initialization.

- Anything involving buffers, e.g. batch normalization.

- Other custom training loops? Or e.g. an outer loop and an inner loop (e.g. like GAN training)?

- How to implement sth like weight normalization? In PyTorch, the module.param is renamed, and then there is a pre-forward hook, which on-the-fly calculates module.param for each call for forward. So, just following the same logic for both eager-mode and graph-mode?

- How to deal with control flow context, accessing values outside the loop which came from inside, etc. Those things are naturally possible eager-mode, where you would get the most recent value, and where there is no real control flow context.

- Device logic: Have device defined explicitly for each tensor (like PyTorch), or automatically eagerly move tensors to the GPU (like TensorFlow)? Moving from one device to another (or CPU) is automatic or must be explicit?

- How to you allow easy interop, e.g. mixing torch.nn.Module and Keras layers?

I see that you have keras_core.callbacks.LambdaCallback which is maybe similar, but can you effectively update the logic of the module in there?

There are probably hundreds of possible answers to that, depending on which aspect you're interested in, ranging from "God" to "gravity" to "42" to "because" to "I dunno".
And why this has not been prosecuted as giant racketeering operation is beyond me.
This is the basis of all Medicare Advantage Plans, where the physician or their employer gets X$ a month per MAP patient and must pay for most of the cost of care. The insurance company gets to keep most of its share of what Medicare pays. Nice profit ensues for the insurance company.
I recommend that the space bar be broken up into at least three space buttons, to make this stance practical.
Thankfully, W61 is a non-billable code family… hope it stays that way! I do wonder what all the billable code families are, maybe I should find out.
If you have a guaranteed way to avoid pushing fatal bugs to production it doesn’t MATTER what your architecture is. You’re in some fantasy land of rainbows and kittens where everything works fine first time every time.

For those of us in the real world who can’t afford perfection, the ability to isolate the impact of the inevitable bugs that do sneak through has some appeal.

As does the fact that exhaustively testing a microservice in a realistic timeframe is a much more tractable problem than exhaustively testing a monolith, which reduces the risk that such bugs will ship in the first place.

Bugs are less likely to ship. And when they do they will have a more limited blast radius. And when they’re detected they can be mitigated more quickly.

Those all sound like great benefits to me.
It partly arises as a mechanism to pay per case, not just per visit. For example, if we put all payment for a breast cancer treatment into the first visit, there is now an incentive to either complete the treatment (ideal) or keep the patient from coming back (less ideal). You can use these follow-up codes to measure rates of return visits, which can be related to quality of care metrics.
Many connectors in one. Is the video output the left port or the right one? How about the charging port?
I really love using Windows. I spend a good amount of time getting it perfect for me then image it. Alot of tools listed in this thread are good as well as Group policy changes. It can get pretty close. Using choco also helps.I redo my Window environment ever 6 months tho. I'm starting to consider something else if I can make it work tho.

The question is how to organize reciprocity in large, complex and evolving systems. The canonical approach is through various contracts. But those can be too specific and poorly adapted and even worsen outcomes under stress.

Flexible contracts designed to perform when the "unknown unknowns" materialize are intuitively the "solution", except they dont mesh well will the more typical transactional arrangements that aim to decouple units.
Less than $500K per sat (well, at least the v1 sats). I suspect their goal is about half that and then maintaining that cost but increasing capacity as the tech marches forward on commodification and miniaturization.
If you are using a compiler that doesn't support this, developer tooling like clangd and clang-tidy can help catch these issues too.
Will Firefox support it?
I would love to see some data on this, if anyone knows of any. I'll just provide anecdata that of the doctors among my friends and family, more of them get paid by "wRVU" [0], which is basically a derivative of "how much treatment you give", than by salary.

(I only happen to know this because they complain nearly incessantly about the wRVU system! I make no claim to be an expert on the topic.)

The medical cartels need to be destroyed.

They are mathematically the most corrupt industry according to open secrets all time lobbying data.

Physicians are the richest profession in the US, and limit their supply by weaponizing the ACGME/AMA.

Hospitals/clinics make so much money. We own one, and while it was slow to start, the profits are insane. Marketing is the hardest thing, once a patient comes in the door (and they don't have medicaid) its pure profit. Don't let anyone in healthcare let you think margins are slim.

Pharma... we all know pharma.. (And pharmacists in 2023? Heck ML/AI will always be better than trusting that a pharmacist is on their game 100% of the time)

Insurance, I have no idea how they waste so much money and have slim margins. Anyway they are weirdly allies most of the time because they will adjust a $400 bill down to $125. But they also suck with how expensive premiums are... again. what the heck is going on with their slim margins? Maybe its their ultra fancy buildings.
