I'm very anti government / anti bureaucracy. But in this case it is hard to argue with results. The European system is simply more efficient at delivering healthcare. Here's a really long and detailed report showing why I'm right: https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/mckinsey/industries/healthc...

But you don't need to worry, it's politically impossible to get rid of the healthcare industrial complex which is 5x the size of the more frequently cited military industrial complex.

Modern software development tooling focuses on writing code. GooseCode is designed for visualizing code, understanding relationships and keeping documentation alongside real code.

Think Figma / Miro for software developers.

I build GooseCode because I constantly lose my flow while tabbing back and forward through the IDE, with a pen and paper to keep track on my desk.

GooseCode currently focus on reading and visualizing code, with IDE integration and writing on the horizon.
It’s basically the guaranteed end state of a society that both highly values individualism and has been kneecapping regulations/regulators/rule of law for decades.

You don’t need a very high proportion of the population to poison the well with bad behavior enough that everyone just accepts that as regular behavior and then even the ethical portion of your society starts engaging in the bad acts.

One of the main benefits for having a government is to go in and regulate bad behavior away that would never occur organically because each individual actor in society loses far too much trying to fix the situation on their own to rationally try.
I’m not sure about that any more either. Read about the NHS in the UK - sounds like it is a dumpster fire and people are dying.

If those numbers are precisely accurate, it should be noted that Costco could be paying up to $100M to process memberships, and it would still literally actually be most of their profit. Also "about 1/2" and "most" are not mutually inclusive. In fact, I'd expect they mutually occur with some frequency.

I have bad news for you about <any language> community…

People behaving poorly on github issues/PR discussion is so common in every language it tells much more about the internet/open source culture than it tells about Rust users (there's no such thing as a “Rust community” nowadays BTW, it's not 2016 anymore and the language user base has grown so much the user base is now as fragmented as it is for any mainstream language).

As someone in a similar situation to other poster, I'm still annoyed at the choice between buying a new phone (with the financial and environmental consequences) or having to deal with the maybe I'm invisibly hacked maybe I'm not when all I want is security updates and/or a software that is built with enough safety to avoid zero-click exploits.

But yeah, this is a good news thread, thank you Google.
I remember how much I wanted every new phone before - back in the days of my Motorola Droid there was always some awesome new feature or development. Now, the only reason I upgrade is if the phone ends up damaged or unusable.
I figure people are using them for router things, like using it as a wireless AP and switch, and the hardware available for those use cases usually fall short of what's available on router SoCs.
Common law is basically whataboutism. Whataboutism isn't inherently bad, it's not always a deflection. It is reasonable to expect similar treatment for similar actions.
If anything, reciprocity is one of the very foundations of society and of our justice system. You can't really discuss a lawsuits without talking about precedent, it's inherent to the discussion

(In a way it's amazing how shouting whataboutism is now more often used to deflect or excuse double standards and unfairness than whatboutism itself.)
I'd argue the equivalent of iPhone/Android on the PC side would have been Windows 95, when things really became consumer focused and had their revolutionary explosion take off. That was "only" 28 years ago now

Yep, I've submitted for prescription reimbursement for compounded medication. I submitted photocopies with just the dates and signatures changed - the formula and everything was the same. One time they gave me the full $45 in reimbursement. The next time it was $17 (cost of the prescription med without the other ingredients or compounding). The third time they gave me $1. I tried asking why each was different. They had no explaination but were emphatic that they paid the correct amounts.
If you like this, you may want to also take a look at Retrosheet [1]. They've taken amazing effort to get pitch-by-pitch data for baseball games since professional baseball became a thing in the 19th century. I don't know a ton about RetroSheet admittedly, but I do know they have great coverage and are willing to pay money to get paper documents from people about games they haven't yet entered into their database.

While I agree with you on this bleak outcome, it's more that it's a progressive vs conservative issue. Progressives make up a minority of the democrat party and 0 of the republican party.

The only way to really change this is voting for progressives when possible, though it's hard to convince others that this is what you need to do.

If you are in a blue state, vote in the primaries for the progressive candidates. If you are in red states, that's voting for democrats in general and the most centrist republicans in the primary.

The absolute worst thing to do is to not vote and let the most conservative candidates run wild.
Personally, I enjoy these various "programmers fallacies" articles. I find those weird and obscure factoids about postcodes, names, addresses, numbers, and so on, to be fascinating. They remind me what a rich and diverse world we inhabit.

Now if "programmers" (analysts, designers, managers, etc) were more considerate, less rushed, more thoughtful, more experienced, considered their assumptions, and leapt to fewer conclusions, then our systems would run rather more smoothly.
I think it might stay the same as it's always been: perfectly executed fraud is impossible to detect, but fraudsters are lazy and leave clues.
> Where would a language model find the world model? Where would it store it? And why would it even need it?

It is pattern recognition with many layers of abstraction. Obviously it will infer semantic relations at some level. It is a type of machine learning. The entire point of machine learning is to generate a model of the data which can be generalized to new inputs.

It would find the world model in semantic relations in text. It would store it in its vast neural network. It would need a world model in order to perform natural language understanding tasks, which is exactly what it was designed to do. When asked about the world it needs a model of the world in order to generate useful answers.

GPT-4 took months to train on a supercomputer and it generated a neural network of hundreds of gigabytes. What exactly was that supercomputer doing for several months and what exactly would the neural network represent if not a world model? Are you thinking it rote learned answers to every possible question?

> so it seems likely that a world model must be developed first

It is "a" model. It can be completely alien to whatever exists in a human mind but still function and exist as some type of model.

> Why would it ever be possible to derive the representation just from the pointer?

It only needs to have a sufficient representation of the Sea that is useful for the tasks we have trained it to do. It doesn't need to derive "the" one true representation that humans have of the Sea, whatever that is.
The reason they give/non-cynical take is that it's a hold for potential buyer dispute. If they do, and eBay decides in their favour (to refund or partially refund) then it ensures they already/still have your money, they don't have to try to bill you back for it. (Which would also have an associated cost, but surely the main aspect would just be already having it, you haven't run off with it, not unable or unwilling to pay it, etc.)
Isn't last-write-wins technically a CRDT? It's just not a very good one. For many use-cases though a per-column last-writer-wins CRDT is perfectly adequate.

- Edits can be made on any node at any time independently and without coordinating with other nodes.

Even if the insurance had everybody in the network, psychiatric help is still scarce in 2023.

Some people still think it is like One Flew out of the Cuckoo's Nest but really you can be suicidal and still spend 48 hours in the emergency room before getting to spend another 96 hours in the psych ward, get a depot injection of Haloperidol decanoate and get discharged.

Never mind trying to see a talk therapist.
Back then, phone providers were competing to be the Nexus brand, so it was generally a loss-leader. The brand that released the Nexus phone would release their actual flagship about 3 months later.

Also, inflation.
On the other hand, just because the coral reefs seem "fine" today doesn't mean they will be in 2 weeks. Referring to the recent mass die off of corals off the Florida Keys, Dr. Cory Krediet, a professor of marine science who studies corals had this to say:

> “The health of the coral is at a catastrophic loss,” Krediet said. “This is an unprecedented level of temperature increase and it happened at a rate that the corals cannot deal with. We went from healthy reefs to bleach reefs and dead reefs within 10 days.”

https://www.clickorlando.com/weather/2023/07/27/floridas-cor...

And the temperature just keeps going up. It might be months, years, maybe even a couple decades, but things keep looking worse and worse for the corals, and we're not doing enough to stop it.
I would just briefly point out that all three rights you've listed require the assistance and consent of those around you.
The assumption is that everything the business does has a cost.
Is that all true? I am 42 years old and I think I have an average amount of "non work" time for this generation, as my dad did for his. And I think I see my kids way more than my dad did.

There are a few obvious factors for that - eg my dad didn't get to work from home while many people nowadays get to do that at least a few times a week if not every day. Video conferencing basically removed the need for work trips for me although I sometimes chose to do them. I have way more flexibility (eg taking a few hours mid day for a family thing) that previous generations style of work never had. And even on days I am traveling, I can FaceTime with the kids for bedtime which is a game changer vs just not being there.

The famous song about a father not having time for his kids, Cat's in the Cradle, is from 1977. Clearly that sentiment existed then big time.
Is that a joke? It's far more of a nightmare. Sort by price and it's only sorting on the 'from' price, which isn't even necessarily the same product, doesn't include the shipping, and doesn't account for wild variation (in not just base price but also inexplicably shipping) when you change quantity or colour.
I, too, have learned an awful lot about human nature since about 2015 or so.

I don't believe it is harsh given how this is a critique of the philosophy that permits a programmer to needlessly hijack user input. Especially given the context here is an OS, AND a supposedly minimalist one at that.

P.S: Last sentence probably violates HN guidelines and is just rude and unnecessary if you want to prove a point.
Any more than 11-12 minutes and you get the green discoloration between the yolk and the egg-white.

I make boiled eggs for my wife, 8 at a time, every couple of days. It took a while, but my time has finally settled at 12 minutes at a slow simmer.

By the way, I slightly crack the 'blunt' end before putting the eggs into the boiling water. That allows expansion of the egg contents and the air-space without the egg exploding.

At 12 minutes, I take the eggs off the heat and soak them in the saucepan several times with cold water to cool them down quickly. I then let them cool down for about half-an-hour in cold water before peeling them.
Ok so in a situation where you're looking at a lawsuit that could clock in at an order of magnitude more than the cost of the car your plan is to let the people you're thinking about suing have access to the car before you've had an independent 3rd party perform a thorough examination? Good luck with that.
A treadmill wouldn't help the plane take off. What Mythbusters showed was that it's not a hindrance to the plane, because planes don't need ground traction. They do need to be moving forward, relative to the air they're flying through, in order to generate lift. A treadmill, if it pushed the plane backwards, would not allow it to take off "in place", and actually the fact that a treadmill wouldn't push the plane back is the whole reason a plane can take off on a treadmill.

Or to put it differently, the only treadmill an airplane could take off on would be the length of a runway.
Hey! How did you find me on here lol???

Bad actors have always been able to take advantage of the same tools that good actors have. There is nothing new about this with regards to this technology iteration.

You have to simply believe (which is fairly easily to validate) that there are far more good actors than bad.

At least outside China and Mexico. I don't know what's happening in those countries. Systemic breakdown of morality perhaps. But that's a people problem, not an AI problem.

Static typing is just one slice of Swiss cheese in the pursuit of more reliable software. Yes, it will leave holes like any other technique, which is why you should mix and match them for maximum reliability. But throwing out static typing because it doesn't catch everything is like choosing to leave the door unlocked because the thief could always break a window. If security is really important to you, then you should have bars on the windows in addition to locking the door, not instead.
I imagine the actual amount insurance pays out to the practice some amount less than 200$ per visit. Then there’s the overhead for staff having to submit claims and waiting 90+ days to get payed.
"ERROR: Mono: Core API hash mismatch." is a strong clue that it's using C# instead of GDScript. (I was on the lookout because the same error appears in my own game. Apparently it's benign.)
I understand how pre-trial negotiations work, and I am not an affluent tech bro. In fact, I spent some time consulting DA offices throughout the country on how to adopt best practices in criminal justice reform. Public defenders are not universally pushovers and judges and juries are not universally looking for blood.

Like I said, getting aggregate statistics on how pleading down impacts the composition of the prison population is very hard, but the fact of the matter is most people who end up in prison don’t do so because of anything which looks like only recreational drug use.
Yes, the Zynq MPSoCs are widely available on Digikey, Mouser, etc. Both the bare chips as well as dev boards (Avnet ZedBoard, Trenz, and the Xilinx first party dev boards too). Even Versal is available, you can buy a VCK190 (albeit with a long lead time and it's over $10k) and Trenz has some much cheaper stuff which will be more generally available in the near future.
I understand and agree, but I cannot fathom why anyone invests on Nintendo's digital platform, as they cycle completely every 5-10 years (e.g. Wii Virtual Console).

The games are great, but the way they milk their pĺayers on recycled content on _____ platform is insane.
The dumpster fire is happening because the conservative government there is running it into the ground by cutting funding at every turn possible and closing down hospitals.

And even then, I've experienced NHS care and it's 1000% better than the experience I've had with american care. It's not perfect by any means, but it's insane how much better it is than what we have here.
Browser sandbox escapes from untrusted JavaScript are discovered and exploited regularly. JavaScript is much more constrained than the full force of a low level language like WebAssembly, and they can not even get the JavaScript sandbox safe to run truly untrusted or malicious code. Why would something harder to do work when they can not even do the easier thing?

Unless you are just talking about something meant to handle accidentally, not intentionally malicious code. Then sure, it is probably be okay for that. But if you are actually worried about malicious code then, no, browsers (and commercial operating systems) do not provide that. And anybody suggesting they can do that is almost certainly lying unless they also claim to have developed a unhackable operating system/virtual machine as well.
Obviously not every plane has such an interesting past, but it'd be an interesting/morbid curiosity thing to have a service where you let it know what flights you're taking and it texts you during boarding with any questionable details of the specific aircraft you're getting on.

"This plane ran off the runway in any icy landing in Minneapolis back in '06"
"This plane was decommissioned and sat idle in the desert for 15 months between owners"
"This plane was used to evacuate US government workers from Afghanistan"
...
Although I wonder how many would just be something boring like "this plane was delivered 2 years ago and has been in routine, problem-free service since".

I mean if you want to split hairs and miss the larger points sure. Yes you can be at diminishing returns so you are right there's a limit to more is better. Not the situation I am talking about here, both fitness wise and economically because frankly 99.999% of people are nowhere near diminishing returns on either of those.

It's quite frustrating to use a language that's so close to Haskell, but without being able to use all the libraries you're used to. And I think now that Haskell's own story for web frontend is improving, some of its appeal is fading.

Having used it in production for a while, tooling was poor, particularly IDE support, and anonymous records are in practice less of an obvious win than I expected. Plus I like laziness.
You know this can't work without having the same issues as IPv6, right? Take a look at the IP headers.
All it takes a third-party dll (antivirus, antispyware, or just some other big brother hook) to be part of your executable, and the memory is gone. Or call to some Win32 library (like shell32.dll), and some caching going on there. 32MiB are nothing nowadays.

Just a callstack can be 1MB easily, granted it's RESERVED most of it, just some parts commited, but it can grow there (like directory recursion). Then you have 3 or 4 ThreadPool threads created just like that, etc. etc.
I'd be very worried about the wheels sinking into the dirt, which steel mats would help prevent. But if the ground freezes sufficiently hard, it should also do the trick.

The basic question is "does the FTC have the right to make rules about our society". I think you're answering "no, it should be the legislative only", which sounds great but I think is a serious status-quo bias. The FTC makes rules about our society all the time, both _de jure_ and _de facto_.

There is no moral justification for "starting here", but there is a definite practical one. It would be quite hard for the FTC to open 3-5 different massive lawsuits at the same time, each of which would require tons of funding at a time when funding is seeming scarcer by the day.
