This is literally what we've been doing for years. It doesn't work because we're trying to apply bandaids to a problem of fundamental rot within our healthcare system. Look at how many states and politicians blew up over the ACA and attempted to stonewall it. I'm old enough to remember my mother being denied healthcare by her insurance provider because she had a stroke and that counted as a preexisting condition. Our solution to this rot is trying to solve a problem after it occurs, rather than prevent it in the first place.
That isn't what bad faith typically covers?

Bad faith is easiest seen when they hold opposition to higher standards than they can hit. In particular, on purpose. It is a smoke and mirror dialogue that is not intended to make progress, but only to spend the other side's time.

In contrast, being wrong and or not fully grasping difficulties is normal. And sometimes, you get lucky and unexpectedly make progress

I was just thinking the other day about one of the issues I have working in this industry. You are expected to solve some hard problems, within a couple of days, usually. If you fail to do this satisfactorily, people will wonder what you're doing; if you're smart enough. And if you can't solve those problems fast enough, the "right" way, you are let go for not "performing."

In reality, you don't run into these kinds of problems often. Usually, the problems we're solving are relatively straightforward. However, if you accidentally pick up too many of these problems in a short span of time ... you can be screwed.
I think One "silver bullet" would be to give the patient more skin in the game when selecting treatments and balancing cost/benefit.

The current system is a tragedy of the commons. Costs are opaque and distributed. Patients have insurance and may as well buy the most expensive treatment (everybody else is doing it). There is nobody in the entire health system with incentives to trade 1% less benefit for 99% cost reduction.

In Europe, this is often handled by government purchasing discretion (not price caps as many simplistically believe). If X treatment is too expensive, it simply isnt covered. If generics medication get 99% of the job done, that is what you get.

This might mean replacing employee healthcarecare with employee payments, MORE copays, and more transparent pricing (there has already been some improvement in this area).

If a CT cost is 10x at one hospital, and 1x at the other, the patient needs an incentive to seek out the 1X cost. Similar, if one cancer drug is 10k and the other 100k, with a life extension of X days, the patient is the only one that can really make the call.

Bluetooth could work! Just need to implement the Transport interface.

Peer discovery is not implemented at the moment but could easily be added (and will be soon). Here's how: any controller can resolve EstablishLinkWithPeer. A peer discovery controller could compare the list of discovered peers with the list of desired connections and initiate connections via UDP when there's a match.

Signaling is managed by the Link implementation. For UDP we use quic-go.

How does making people install another package manager help anyone involved?
I use diagrams for two distinct use cases :

- planning/outlining a solution

- documenting/insight into the system

I disagree that second can't be autogenerated - I've used class diagrams, database schema diagrams etc. to visualize projects, a lot of the time over the documentation - precisely because I can trust the generated diagrams to reflect current state.

Documentation is nice for context but I'd take good visualisation tools over most documentation I've seen on projects I've worked on.

Tooling to connect/validate documentation against code is non-existent, in my world at least. Maybe LLMs can change that down the line - have PR review against docs run as a part of CI/CD pipeline.

In theory, laptops from Dell should work with Linux.

In practice, not so much, especially if you like to sleep and wake up from sleep everytime without a crash + a reasonable power consumption, both during use and during sleep.

IMHO consumption during sleep far more important: if I didn't plug the computer, I expect it to wake up immediately (no S4/suspend to disk) and with less than 0.5% of battery lost per hour (so for 10h of sleep and 80% battery before sleep, at least 75% battery left), if I put it in a bag, I expect it to stay asleep and not be a fire hazard: dells run hot when closed and in a bag, to the point of battery exhaustion or thermal shutdown)

> An architectural diagram shows you how components connect.

That's the one we're talking about here.

Which is useful if the program is procedural.

> An entity diagram shows you the major high level entities you’ve selected into your system.

That's the top-level of your architectural diagram.

> I just don’t see how a single language can express all the detail.

When the program's architectural style is call/return, we can do this just fine. Using stepwise refinement we move up and down the abstraction ladder of our system and thus add/remove detail. No problem.

The problem is that most systems these days are not primarily call/return, but have to be programmed in call/return languages.

> I don’t see how S expressions solve this

I don't either, and have no idea what S expressions have to do with this.

> .... diagram generation is part of the language

It's not part of the language. But it's part of the frameworks, and when the abstractions of your language are architectural in nature, there is a very close correspondence between the code and the diagrams.

> ... discrepancies are a good teaching tool...

Yes, since the diagrams are generated, it's easy to keep older version around and generate new ones on-demand. Then you can check the differences visually, in code, or as the difference between code and diagram. Take your pick.

> Not until AI can actually start understanding sentiment from code.

Again, the point is that architecture is not actually "sentiment". It is structural. The fact that it looks like sentiment in practice is purely a side effect of our programming languages being incapable of encoding architecture in the general case.

Our life expectancy is falling (and is worse than the UK), people are afraid to go to the hospital because of bankruptcy and we pay far more than other nations on healthcare. In all aspects of outcome our healthcare system costs more for less. The only exception is if you're extremely wealthy, and the gap between wealthy and not has widened. I, as a fairly well-off software engineer could be bankrupted by healthcare costs if a hospital decides I'm out of network during an emergency.

No government is going to "take on spacex" because what works for spacex is to act in all the ways, good and bad, a gov entity would never do.

Of course, attempting to do it anyway and failing miserably while transferring the public money into parasites is a very gov thing to do.

So it will happen.

I strongly agree with this, but it is an inconvenient truth because everyone wants to search out good policy in the domain space to improve outcomes. That is unfortunately extremely challenging, as you can't fix broken parents. You end up having to design systems to clean up the mess after kids turn into adults, because there are limited mechanisms to encourage better behavior from suboptimal parents.

> Or, to put it more viscerally: doctors would be wary of diagnosing a victim of domestic abuse with “shell shock.” But “PTSD” — not just as a symptom profile, but also as a name for that symptom profile, and a set of social connotations around that name — clearly fits.

In some ways it's a natural consequence of broadening the scope of something. Is the loss of impact because of the language, or because it now applies to a lot more situations which we imagine is expressed in different ways (whether that's largely true or not)?

Shell shock likely didn't conjure the idea of a person going through a harrowing experience as much as a soldier going through constant shelling for weeks. The first encompasses the other, but the second one is much more explicit and conjures specific thoughts that we can latch on to when we try to imagine the experience.

Battle fatigue also paints a somewhat specific picture, even if more broad than shell shock. We can imagine what types of things caused this, even if our imagination probably only covered a subset of the actual causes. Those things it does conjure are bad though, so the idea is very impactful.

PTSD, which more accurately encompasses a lot more situations, not all of them (or maybe even the majority of them) related to war, also leaves us without as much information to use to form an emotional response to as we imagine what it was they went through. Was it the horrors of war? Was it assault by a stranger as a civilian? Was it physical abuse by someone you know? Was it long term mental abuse? We know it was bad, to affect the sufferer, but it's harder to form a real emotional response, I think, when the cause is ambiguous.

So, is the problem the language, or is the language just a side-effect of the increased scope of the term, and the problem is actually the increased scope?

Empathy Models and Software Engineering – A Preliminary Analysis and Taxonomy
This is not materially different from the robots that Amazon already has in the warehouses. But instead of storing things in pods that have to be moved by Kiva-derived robots to humans who then do the picking and put things into totes, now it's the totes themselves that are being stored on shelves. You're still going to have the picking process, and everything downstream of that.

Seems to me like this is much lower density of storage than using the pods, and that will mean fulfillment centers will have to be much larger in order to store enough totes to equal what they could have stored with pods.
