> The vast majority of doctors genuinely want to help people and are more I interested in practicing the skills they've honed for decades rather than deal with faceless automata at health insurance companies who deny claims upon a mere glance.

Not only that, but doctors also have to fight tooth and nail to get reimbursed by insurance companies (some worse than others... I have doctors who won't even take UHC anymore because the reimbursement rates are too low to break even on practice costs). So we end up with this bizarre arrangement where patients get their wallets drained and doctors have to hunt down their paychecks for services provided... all while the middleman gets richer.

I hope your boyfriend's doing okay. Dealing with a major medical issue like cancer is already hard enough on its own without the added financial nightmare in this country, but at least it sounds like they're in good hands between you and the doctors they're seeing.
This was a while ago but a pack of frozen egg rolls I used to buy a lot said "approximately 6 egg rolls per box." I always thought it was funny they used "approximately" and I always had 6 egg rolls in the box. Until one time I got 5. I couldn't even be mad.
Everyone should read the Linux kernel source to see how aggressively up a painful local maximum you can get in the name of simplicity.
I basically agree with wolpoli and I think you as well. If the content ends up good, who cares.

Right now, it takes work and human collaboration to get quality content out of an llm. In the future it probably won’t.
That’s why I originally replaced the hub. But it’s a much better hub on its own so I’m not too mad. I can’t find matter devices independently that I want to use and are actually working properly.

I think I read somewhere (can't find the source at the moment) that he mainly used his existing access (to slack?) from his phone and didn't actually do much hacking at that point.
Wow, that's an incredible story. What are the odds?
After reading this I assumed he used some kind of remote server he had access to. Eg phone is the Bluetooth keyboard, fire stick provides an internet connection and a browser, and remote server provides the full Linux environment to do whatever actually hacking with.
Ah, the era of scrounging free floppies from AOL disks.
Even your phone is a magnitude or two faster than the computers running IRC.

Do you really truly think that all you listed is or somehow should be difficult on modern hardware? Or that the truly abysmal performance that modern chat apps exhibit can somehow be justified because they embed things many of which are either handled by hardware (images and video) or by the server (states, history, automation)?

MIT Kerberos supports preauth with OTP, or PKINIT (X.509 certifies); I don't know what Heimdal currently has. FreeIPA has been doing good work past that, on integrating FIDO, for instance, and can issue tickets on the basis of external identity providers. It certainly does more -- like a souped-up AD.

Ask HN: Why can't ChatGPT respond in plain English?
This is something I’ve noticed: ChatGPT (and its derivatives Bing et al) tend to respond either in the typical AI flavored language which comes off as trying to sound formal and professional but really just makes it look like an AI wrote it, it’s very long and kind of corporate sounding but doesn’t really get the point.

OR, if you ask it to respond in plain English (or in simple English, or in a more direct, to the point tone - I’ve tried a bunch of instructions without success), it responds in a more familial, personable tone, adding stuff like “sure thing!”.

= I literally can’t get it to reply in a way that is professional (ie not familial or personable) but also plain English that is simple, direct and to the point.

What gives? How can I get it to respond the way I want?

Slack is an expensive software. I expect performance and yet, I can't find messages, I have a hard time to use slack and run IDEs at the same time, they change the interface and I lost 2-3 days until adapt.

If I could save some bucks removing videos, emojis, voice and video streaming, I would not hesitate in do so.

You got a fair point on how things work: it's all about communication. You want to stay where everybody is, so the incentive is to capture market, not make a fast software.

I think that most of the innovation effort in the last decade was on how to delivery fast.
I'm surprised to see so much Ruby used in a video game. Excluding libraries and gems, there exist 627 *.rb files!

If I’m learning about a new topic, I do assume it might be bullshit and have a variety of sources to help give me confidence on truthiness. The llm really has nothing to do with this! I don’t know if I’d trust a random blog, or a legit looking website, or gpt4 more but I’d read them all and make my own judgement.
Do this in important directories for added safety:
$ touch -- - i
This creates a file called "-i" which will add the interactive flag, prompting you before deleting every file that rm was going to delete.
That's not how the USPTO operates. I know because I'm a former USPTO examiner. Prior art is not restricted to existing patents. I've used YouTube videos, webpages, academic papers, other patents/applications, and probably more.

Also, it doesn't need to be exactly the same thing. Obviousness/103 rejections are probably the most common. (The legal definition of obviousness doesn't correspond exactly to the colloquial definition, by the way.)

The main problem is my view is the very limited time examiners get. If it's not found fast, it's probably not going to be found.
I'd very much appreciate if someone could clarify what exactly is needed in terms of hardware and software to implement these suggestions.

Tesla does plenty of recalls in the states, they just aren’t broadcasted as widely and proudly as they are on CCTV.

It could be that the Shanghai factory is more well run, or it could get experience from the other factories, the model 3 is just 7 years old and before that Tesla was doing more small scale production.

But historically Chinese produced cars are worse than those made in other countries. Toyota, for example, has huge quality problems in China that it didn’t have in US or Japanese produced cars. It would be cool if it is the opposite for Tesla.
We had a local "computer magazine" that was free (the local computer shops paid to advertise in it) and the best thing about it was the absolute _variety_ of the content. From detailed "here's how to rebuild civilization with a soldering iron and an 8088" to "tuning graphics on your SGI" and so on, it gave a great cross-section of the industry.
> I don't think this time is wasted because in chasing those small efficiencies you will learn the high level patterns that lead to good enough code as well as the evil of premature optimizations.

How many times in your career has a PM agreed to make room in the backlog to prioritize performance work? It very rarely happens and the reason is that costumers rarely care. It's catnip for developers and I love doing it, but it's rarely something that matters enough

> Me today, still writing server applications, but now in Go, lives somewhat more remotely from the low level details of the system. There are more abstractions between me and the system. It is rare that I even have to deal directly with, for instance, low level networking system calls (except the odd ioctl, which, as someone pointed out years ago, is the carpet under which we sweep all the things that we couldn't figure out how to do properly).

This is both a disadvantage and a major advantage.

The disadvantage is that yes, changing syscalls / libc is not enough. No one is going to hand-write the FFI for your fancy new syscall; it needs to percolate down to the library they are actually going to use. That percolation takes time, and the extra latency makes this sort of reform project less enticing.

The advantage is when the library interface already works with the new system call. For example, someone pointed out the Go already doesn't expose fork/exec because it wouldn't work on Windows. Well, the proposed process spawning interface might not only support Go's interface, but make it easier to implement.

If we can swap out a standard library implementation once, and then a huge number of applications instantly benefit, that really boosts the cost/benefit ratio!

I myself do not write applications in C either. I mainly notice these bad syscalls when the higher level library interfaces all of the sudden get really awkward for no good reason.

> The second is that we should be careful about putting too much stuff in the OS that really belongs in libraries or applications.

Yes absolutely agree. I meant to talk to about interfaces while being agnostic about what thing implements them. I would be perfectly happy if the OS didn't implement a file system at all.

The reform approach probably does mean adding yet more system calls to existing heritage kernels. But that must not be the entire story. Ideally things look like this:

1. Implement more system calls in heritage kernels with better semantics.

2. Userland software can switch to new system calls and become simpler. Ideally it uses fewer different system calls than before.

3. New greenfield kernels can support the improved/simplified userland software with less work / fewer constraints.

In this manner I hope we can "pivot" to better things. (The pivoting reminds me of parallel parking n-point turn a bit, in that a bunch of small steps with a lot of "wash" somehow combine into something more impressive.)
The EFF and similar organizations often voice their opposition against the patent system.

But why couldn't the EFF use the flaws of the patent system to their advantage.

They could file all kinds of patents for things they oppose. DRM schemes, surveillance and tracking tech, dark patterns, etc... And then patent troll companies that use these techniques.

Win/win. If they lose their lawsuit, it creates a precedent against patent trolls. If they win, that's one less of the things they are against.
1) I do think fondly of the "good ole days" where advertising hadn't destroyed most of the internet, but I concede the cats out of the bag; we're never going to see that again.

2) I think the only benefit of ads is that it staves off the alternative: widespread shilling. inb4 people with binary outlooks tell me that shilling already exits. I'm well aware. But if you plug the advertising hole (somehow), the same garbage is going to come out through another opening.

3) I pay for YT premium as well (which increased in cost substantially this last year). I love their music service, and I love that I dont get YT ads. However, I think this service should also skip over content-creator-placed ads (since they get more $ per view from subscribers like us). Furthermore, I'm starting to see "subscriber only" videos - essentially pay-per-view - which I view as an erosion of the contract. Just like there was erosion in the number of ads in TV over the decades, I think we can expect further erosion where "premium" means you just get "one or two (quite often two !)" ads before a video starts, and the "free" version will just be a cesspool or rate limited to N-number ad-infested videos per hour.

The inspections are legally mandated every two years. The car must satisfy the requirements to pass or it won't be allowed on the roads. If the car is obviously not compliant, then you can be sent to extraordinary inspection even if you just passed.

What a guy resident in California says could not be more irrelevant to vehicle inspections performed in Germany where the car is subjected to much worse weather + salt on the roads.
feep’s been working on this for like a decade. Happy to see it get some recognition.
In the yjit-bench suite, there are a number of micro benchmarks that had a 2-3x gain between 3.2 and 3.3: https://speed.yjit.org/stats-timeline.html

But my point is that the YJIT team never really communicate numbers from synthetic benchmarks, it's very focused on real world workloads.

Synthetic benchmarks are used internally, but mostly to optimize a specific pattern that was identified as a common hotspot.

All this to say this figure you quote is not to be directly compared to many similar announcements from other projects or benchmark suites.

Now if you still think it's not good enough, I encourage you to try your hand at it to see how much of an accomplishment that really is.

A big concern I have with Tesla is that I have no alternative service providers. When Tesla charges one $2000 to fix a broken gear, the person would have no choice to but to accept it.
> Software simply does a lot more than it used to

To me, this is the main problem. Most software now has so many features that the owning company can't possibly keep eyes on it all anymore, or just chooses not to as a cost cutting measure.

Simple example that has hit me lately: simplified view in Chrome on Android does not work anymore. It just shows a loading spinner forever. I would bet money Google has no idea or just doesn't care (surely they collection exception metrics?). I hit stuff like this all the time now. I just fully expect say 10-20% of features in a modern app to just flat out not work.
No, Hitler was no relevant philosopher and had no widely recognizable contribution to the mentioned areas. It's a pity that ideology prevents people to discuss or even to understand other people's ideas and contributions.
Finland recently had to offline 14% of it's national electricity production due to a single incident. Not only is that unreliable, the effects of the lack of reliability are much worse than with any other power source.

Nuclear only exists in the first place due to political decisions. It's massively unprofitable if you actually include all costs even at current inflated electricity prices.

Why not build gas and battery storage for renewables instead? It would be better by every measure, including cheaper, faster to build, safer, and more reliable (due to being distributed).
Those original internet services didn't solve problems for the vast majority of business (or people) immediately! The technology was solid from the start, but the adoption curve was far, far slower than you suggest. By a long shot.

The difference with NFTs is the concept is sound - trusted, immutable transactions recorded on a public ledger without a third-party intermediary. The difficult part is making it work efficiently and securely. Until very recently NFTs have been slow and expensive (in cost and energy) to transact. The most visible use cases being trivial (proof of ownership of JPGs). But the answer to those technical limitations IS already here and getting better, speed and costs are not a problem if you stop referring to Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The problem is, most people dismiss the entire venture (tokenisation and the larger benefits of public DLTs) because they are only looking at the mainstream projects and agreeing with lazy journalism to have their biases validated.
Why net zero 'green tape' means the office downturn has only just begun
While this sounds like a cool idea, my first thought is: What happens when someone is able to remotely gain control?. Does the plane not accept commands other than "Please fly to point X. If you can't contact me again, land at Y." or can you send more complex instructions like "Fly at this altitude and heading"? If it's the latter, that is basically "joystick level" control but with more steps.

There will always be vulnerabilities in hardware and software and when they used the term "encrypted satellite", I worry that there is vulnerability in there somewhere. Even something as simple as a phishing attack of pilots could lead to dangerous outcomes.

Nevertheless, I'm sure there will be a Defcon village for it in the next few years.
Trying to keep everyone happy is keeping no one happy.
> Is this really a surprise? There are physical realities, and a single company can't suddenly reinvent a century of industry experience with some Silicon Valley pixie dust and government subsidies.

That may be, but Tesla didn't have to rediscover everything from scratch, just like SpaceX didn't have to reinvent rocketry from scratch but rather stood on the shoulders of decades' worth of giants.
Agreed it could use improvement, I'm working on fine-tuning the model to create better diagrams (this is using the latest 3.5 turbo model which typically requires a couple iterations before it gets to a valid diagram).

Do you think there might be other differences between Hong Kong and the United States that could account for differing challenges in providing healthcare?

I’m not clear why you’re giving up - it’s not an intractable problem. Some folks need to give up on “healthcare only for the rich/cities” and some folks need to stop having strong opinions about a very, very complicated industry they don’t understand at even a surface level (not directed at anyone specifically - it’s a common US problem with healthcare discussions/solutions).

Cost/utilization/availability challenges are fully solvable, if one is committed to a solution and not a message.
I'm not sure they get developed faster either. I just was talking to a friend about how quick it used to be to make a usable desktop app with Visual Basic or Delfi. Meanwhile I spent an insane amount of time to make a table in an iOS app that shows a table of kana and make it resize properly to the available screen size. This would have taken minutes in Delfi or VB and admittedly took me <30 minutes in the first draft of my app that used React.

From Five Proofs of the Existence of God, Edward Feser (2017), Chapter 6 (§Omniscience), pp. 212f:

> Recall that I emphasized that God can hardly be mistaken about the cat being on the mat, insofar as he is the cause of the cat's being on the mat in thefirst place. I compared this to an author's knowledge of the characters and events of the story he has come up with. Now, the way an author knows these characters and events is not by observering them. It is not a kind of perceptual knowledge. Rather, the ahtor knows them by virtue of knowing himself, by virtue of knowing his own thoughts and intentions as author. And that is precisely the way in which God knows the world. His knowledge is not the result of a kind of observation of that happens as history unfolds. God is not, after all, in time, and thus he does not need to wait until something happens in order to know that it happens. Nor does he have a perceptual organs by which he comes to know things, since he is incorporeal. Nordoes he learn anything in any other way, since learning is a kind of change and God is immutable. As I said above, it is in a single, timeless act that God causes to exist everything that has been and will be. And it is in knowing himself as so acting that God knows everything that is, has been, and will be. His knowledge of the world is a consequence of his self-knowledge.[48]
