There is basically nothing we could do to Earth that would make it less habitable than Mars is.

If we had the capability of terraforming Mars, it would be trivial to fix climate change here on Earth.

What an inane statistic. It looks like this is "news" because someone only come up with it now, but the reason someone only came up with it now is that it's so stupid. It would not be "news" that the US spent more on healthcare per capita then the UK, but you can actually compare and discuss the two healthcare systems, you can't compare "universal" and "non-universal" healthcare.

Holy cow, really? Is this a case of over-diagnosing things, or are virtually half of Americans legitimately struggling with multiple health issues?

I often see americans looking with envy at european health care, or europeans bragging about it. Well in the UK, and a lot of west european countries, health care is in a state of collapse. Just do a short google search of hospitals around the UK and rad their reviews - there are literal human rights abuses being reported, all while hospitals have an official government rating of "good". It's unbelievable - when I was in hospital I had patients next to me that had to beg to see a doctor, while a teenager was screaming in pain and nurses were mocking him. The UK doesn't have a financing problem, or a understaffing issue. The UK has an underskilling issue. Private or public the doctors and nurses I had to work with had no clue what they were doing, and there always had to be 3-4 people doing the job of one simply to confirm that what they are doing is right, and the issues working on were basic. Not to mention that health care software systems barely work - buggy, missing obvious features, not used at all because staff has no clue how to use it, and so on.

All in all west european health care, particularily british, looks like east european health care used to - but indeed without the bribery and arrogance that plagued that system. At least not at the same level, yet.

Not to mention that it is extremely expensive. You pay for public health care and on top of that for private health care without a tax deduction. So if you are a worker you are likely stuck waiting in long queues only to be sent home with a misdiagnosis. Your employer provided insurance will cover at most one or two visits to a GP per year and that's about it.
The US is a "Fee for Service" model, the more sickness, the more fees, the more profits for the medical system. In a "Value Based Model" you would get paid to keep people healthy.

Poetic error in the article?

> ... De’s team saw a star 12,000 light-years away temporarily become a few hundred times brighter. The flash was too dim to have come from a merger with another star. But it was just the right intensity to have been produced by a planet-size meal, De and his colleagues reported in May.

> The team surmised that a planet a few times more massive than Jupiter had been caught up as the 10-billion-year-old star began expanding into a red giant.

...& later...

> For now, the death of our planet is a roll of the dice away from certainty. Humans may be long gone from Earth’s surface, but anyone glancing in our direction 5 billion years from now might see our planet ride out our sun’s dying breaths — or, perhaps, disappear in a brief flash of light.

IANAA (not an astrophysicist), but I'm thinking that a red giant (hydrogen-depleted core is busy fusing helium to heavier elements) would react very differently to a cold, dense ~75% hydrogen super-Jupiter falling into it, vs. a puny little Earth-like planet (maybe 0.25% hydrogen). The first is like dumping a big bucket of gasoline onto a coal fire (the supergiant's core), the second more like throwing in a small, gasoline-soaked rock.
>I’ve read the article three times now and I can’t find this claim. Do you have a quote?

Sure, specifically, the article says "more than 95% percent of shoplifting incidents are carried out by “one to two people,” -- implying this means it is not organized crime, even if the goods are sold to a large organized fencing operation.

1-2 people shoplifting does not disprove organized crime, particularly if the goods are immediately sold to organized fences.

>The article you linked explicitly states that there’s a joint sting operation

No, it doesn't. Please read it again. It poses a question of whether it's a sting operation, which seems unlikely given stolen goods have been GPS tracked going to that location and then going to third locations once sold, including by large YouTubers who independently investigated. [1]

The goods are not seized by law enforcement and then returned to owners at that location. The stolen goods are sold, which would be a crime in itself. Seems unlikely that police are on-selling stolen merchandise.

That is fine, and it’s called risk taking from private capital towards an economy

Which funds jobs in each market and drives innovation.

It’s called having a positive outlook towards an economy, you don’t want that capital to stay in banks owned by top 1% cuz that’s where it’ll stay if you don’t make an environment where they’ll use it to fund more jobs for the masses and gamble it away for a chance at something greater

It’s why having deflation or 0 inflation in an economy is bad, because they want people to invest back and take risks in an economy ?

So why celebrate a pause, unless you want the country to go down into flames. This isnt money where the government will bailout these VCs, this is them taking risks, creating jobs, spurring innovation, knowing fully well they might lose it all.

How long should the domain be up not to be considered new?
Fully agree on all points. When the pandemic hit, I turned the backyard shed (windows, 12x10 at least) into a backyard one room schoolhouse for all of the same reasons. Put a Woodstove in it, wired the property with ubiquiti wifi everywhere (for their zoom meetings). The physical walk to a place meant for learning made all of the difference in the world for the k and 2nd grader who loved the whole experience.

Now since school is back in action, it has become the quiet place to hangout if outside gets too warm in the summer, or a peaceful retreat during snowstorms in the winter. It's cozy as heck.

Slowly becoming the "radio shack" as it has a goes receiver setup in it now and a couple long pieces of wire strung through the trees for shortwave listening.

The physical individual separation, even if being across the yard, makes all the difference to our brains.

>> Holy cow, really? Is this a case of over-diagnosing things, or are virtually half of Americans legitimately struggling with multiple health issues?

There isnt much incentive in the US to prevent disease, doctors make their money from visits fees, procedures, etc. Not saying they purposefully make people sick, but I think there is some Darwinism in a system like this -- a hospital system that keeps people healthy would wither and go bankrupt because hospital systems dont get paid to keep people healhty, they make most of their money when people get very ill.
I realise that it is most improper on this here orange website to read the article, but this is _government_ spending, not consumer. No choice involved.

(Even beyond that, bizarre idea. “Oh, I think I’ll go for a _designer_ MRI scanner” said no-one ever; by and large, the expensive bits of health care don’t have a lot of choice involved.)
An guess why the fuck ups killong people are so rare?

Not every industry has to follow aerospace, or life science, standards. Every company owes its customers a good product. And with complexity, product, organisation, requirements, that requires coordination, communication and rules.

Ignoring that, cowboy style, not going to meetings, deploying to production directly, not understanding requirements and blaming all of that on management is simply unprofessional.
While it would be better for people who would live longer and healthier lives, it would not cost less.

The reason is the same reason that smokers actually saved the health system money (source: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejm199710093371506). People who live longer use more and more expensive healthcare.
This is cool, though I think a table-stakes example that is missing is how to do a network request. I see the stargazers example but that entire component is awaited, which doesn't mirror the common case of async fetch in response to user input, in which the response is fed to sub-components.

The stargazer example leaves me with questions like- are components both async and non-async? What if the component re-renders due to other state changes, is my network request fired more than once? Do I have a "component coloring" problem where once one subcomponent is async, the entire parent hierarchy has to be?

Im sure there's answers to these questions if I read the docs, but as a curious passer-byer an example mirroring this common ui pattern would answer a lot of questions for me!
Most employees are part of the public health insurance system in Germany. People who are not employees and people with an income above a certain threshold can (or sometimes must) choose a private health insurance.
Ask HN: How do you find ChatGPT for more complex coding
I see all these posts/articles about ChatGPT building apps/games/etc in a few hours and wonder if I'm missing something obvious or doing something wrong while interacting with ChatGPT. 99% of the things I've asked to help with solutions to software problems, I got non working code or sometimes even worse code that doesn't compile. Last time I've asked ChatGPT to refactor some code that was generating strings based on regexes that was overflowing for some regexes. The given solution was even worse than the original. Am I missing any clever prompt? Or specific context I need to feed before asking for the solution?
One thing I've noticed with Android Auto in my Taos is that the turn-by-turn directions are displayed on the main driver's display (I don't have a HUD) when I am navigating in Google Maps, suggesting that there is some protocol for sharing the directions.

It would be nice, though, to have the actual map be shared (the built-in nav has some cool integrations), and for commands to be transmitted back to Android Auto from the car - for example with steering wheel controls, or when low on charge/gas looking for a charging/gas station.
According to the spec [0] it looks like SNI is not needed. It just specifies a TLS connection. Why does it send an SNI? I guess because basically everything does it so why should Tor not send it?

I'm actually in the building construction industry and CAD generated 2D vector documentation is still the standard go-to for workshop and design drawings. Especially when it comes to contractors as-installed drawings. Some work had moved to 3D BIM modeling but often you'll still end up with 2D for a multitude of reasons and unless something drastically changes I don't see 2D work disappearing any time soon. Specifically because you can "show for calarity" in 2D more flexibly than with any 3D system because you are not modeling a space, you are documenting it.

You "could" generate 3D objects to use in a traditional CAD package but most of the time that would be overkill and just make your drawing, at best and un-editable and at worst a performance nightmare.
It's true that the US pours a lot more money into drug R&D, and I understand that a lot of push for more global + stronger patent law comes from pharmaceuticals. However, when medicines change owners, and then get 10x price hikes years after being developed (like EpiPens, or Generics that get a tweak + a new patent), the problem is not just repaying for the R&D.

The more serious problem, is that reforming the machine that is the US health care industry is going to cost a LOT of jobs. That is going to make any kind of meaningful reform very difficult.

Paid TailwindUI user here.

I understand Tailwind's decision to choose a framework, but it is not good for us, and I suspect will not age well.

I have a non React site, and including React for a button makes no sense.

All the new stuff they are developing are not worth my even looking at.

I feel they built themselves up while doing everything in Vanilla, then for a period the sponsored and promoted Alpine as being their style, then in Headless moved to React + Vue, and now have abandoned that.

They've forgotten how much of the world wants to use Tailwind but won't use React.
This is good. Like most of the protections in patent/copyright law, this would have protected large corporations with extensive AI resources, or trolls, and crush the little guy.

I was lucky enough to tour LLNL this year and saw a short presentation from this group and of course I asked them about the likelihood of an extinction-event asteroid hitting Earth.

Their answer shocked me: They are already tracking an asteroid big enough to destroy an areas the size of Texas, that WILL hit Earth in about 140 years.

Equally as shocking: we will need to launch our planetary defense solution with 30-40 years lead time to deflect the asteroid in time.

There's a non-trivial amount of R&D being done with public funds (universities, and/or grants) that go to medicines that end up being locked up with patents and privately owned.
It feels very strange to put "next token prediction" on the same level as "E = mc2".

"next token prediction" is an experiment that's puzzling, while E=mc2 is a theory (that Einstein developed to explain the puzzling experiments that were unexplained at the time).

It may or may not be that in the end there is a "simple formula" that explains why LLMs work, but we're not there yet.
It depends on why you want to de-google. Running Android means that you're plugged into their ad-analytics data collection. Firmware layers are extremely unlikely to be reporting personalized analytics into that engine.

On the other hand if you're trying to avoid an oppressive state, you probably want to avoid any potential for a sub-poena to a big corp yielding information on you; in which case considering fully open firmware makes much more sense.
The US has a significant higher percentage of obese people[1] than the EU countries they combined. Obesity is known to be a significant risk factor for a large number of health issues[2].

Eyeballing an average of 25% obesity among the EU countries with the US having 36%, means the US has 44% more obese people per capita.

While that doesn't explain all of it, it surely is a significant contributing factor.

I'd say that in-memory/not-in-memory isn't the big difference - it's whether your database is in-process or not. Even with just a database running on the same node, but in a different process, connected to via unix socket, the context switches alone lead to very different performance characteristics. Actually going over the network obviously changes more. It's very easy to miss antipatterns like N+1 queries when you test on sqlite but run on a shared database in prod.
> Wait times definitely exist in the US as well, especially if you are waiting on a specialist, who likely isn't in your area unless you live in a big enough city.

That is simply untrue, the only thing reminiscent of "wait time" is the actual scheduling of an appointment - ie call the office and they pencil you in for next Thursday or something. Or if you actually walk into an ER with something trivial.

2023: Slint in Review
This blog about “Based” came out just before neurIPS: https://hazyresearch.stanford.edu/blog/2023-12-11-zoology2-b...
Consider most physicians are hundreds of thousands of dollars down in education debt and have been training in healthcare settings for almost a whole decade, and that significant time has been invested in a previous undergraduate course and to pass the MCAT. I think they are paid accordingly for their investment, and only 8% of that healthcare spending [1] accounts for physician personnel salary.

What is most baffling to me, as someone who isn't from America, is how expensive even the most basic tests are.

A CT or MRI (which are admittedly expensive machines) scan shouldn't cost >$1000, and it probably doesn't anywhere else in the planet.

That says disposable income per capita is up, but nothing about how it is distributed. Give Elon and a few others an extra 50 billion each and that will bump the national average even if everyone else goes slightly backwards.
As expected, the preponderance of comments claim US exceptionalism: why somehow it’s a unique snowflake and it just wouldn’t work there. Another comment with the classic “we pay for drug research“ fallback (ignoring that accounts for a vanishingly small percentage of the expenses).

The US population is so indoctrinated with baseless propaganda that it will take a century for it to move to a better model.
That is not even remotely account for the insanity of the US healthcare system. Multiple orders of magnitude away from being relevant at all.

US healthcare spending 2023 [1]: $4.7 trillion, 16.6% of GDP, $12555 per capita

France healthcare spending 2023 [2]: €0,34 trillion, 12% of GDP, $6630 per capita

Also note that this isn't exactly news, it's been an ongoing research topic for a few years. Here is a research article from 2022: https://aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscovery/article/12/5/1356/6...
I lived overseas for work. I once went to the pharmacy and they said "4" -- and I was like "4 hundred?"

No, they meant 4. The same medicine I'd pay $25 copay (with insurance kicking in another $70 or $100) cost $4 out of pocket overseas.

This is because single payer systems overseas negotiate down prices. The US does. not. This effectively means that the US is subsidizing the drug industry.

Private insurance in Germany only applies to those self-employed or, optionally, those employed who are above a considerable yearly salary threshold. Otherwise, it's public, and the cost depends on your salary.

If you're employed, your company pays for half the insurance cost, be it private or public. This means that it's expensive for self-employed people.

> the US essentially subsidizes the entire drug research industry

This isn’t entirely true. The US does pay more for drugs but a lot of this money isn’t spent on research. In fact pharmaceutical companies spend far more on advertising than research:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/02/11/big-p...
More direct calculation:

For every distinct prime factor p (so, of 9 is a factor, use 3 not 9), only (p-1)/p of the natural numbers ≤ n are relatively prime to it. Pime. This overcpunts nothing, since prime factors are relatively prime to each other. (Proving this requires some analysis of remaimders / modular arithmetic. But working an example shows the pattern).

This gives a formula, phi(n = Sum (p_i ^ e^i)) = n • Product ((p_i -1)/p))

This also shows how OP (and maybe the coach) missed the point of math team.
You don't honestly think the supermarkets are letting you have it our of the goodness of their hearts do you? It's obvious what is going on:

* £3.50 is the price. That means they'll make a profit on that. It's a "low" price because it's garbage, tasteless, low-quality junk food,

* The supermarkets know which items are more likely to sell separately. Like your bottle of water example. So those items are individually priced higher while others that rarely sell separately (like sandwiches) will be individually priced low. Whatever it really is, the supermarket has all the data, they know how to win.

Similarly, it's like how people think shoplifters steal from the supermarket. The supermarket knows how much stuff gets stolen each year. They price accordingly. Shoplifters steal from you.
