IME the point of health insurance is simply to collect premiums and not to pay out.

It is very much not to support health in any way whatsoever. In fact the industry loves ill-health, because it's far more profitable than wellness.

Public not-for-profit health systems change that motivation into something that actually makes sense from a healthcare pov instead of just being an exercise in piratical opportunism.

Profiting from suffering without the slightest hint of altruism or empathy is simply sociopathic.
It makes tests self-contained and easier to reason about. As a side-effect, random tests won’t accidentally break whenever you change some seemingly unrelated csv file.

As a rule of thumb, I also only assert on input/output values that are explicitly defined as part of the test body. Saves a ton of time chasing down fixture definitions.

The risk drops, why does it cause bad harvests? Otherwise, what is the "temp"?

The presumably intended reading:

> (the risk of (temp drops))

is nonsensical on a different level: risk always exists. It's the change that's interesting.

Greyface also asks "Latency is an end-to-end metric which will almost always involve path components beyond the control of your ISP - can and should they be held responsible for those paths?"

The latency you see is almost always from last-mile software, under the control of the ISP, and can be fixed locally. Before fixing, my local ISP gave me ping-time to the internet interconnect point in downtown Toronto that were typical of a link to Istanbul, Turkey (:-))

They weren't trying, and aren't to this day. Arguably they need a nice unfriendly regulator to require at least a good-faith attempt.

> Just imagine yourself with a sore throat during the chilly, misty, rainy spring season that is all too common in Europe, but you are living in the bushes, and you are very hungry...

Very good point. Add to that the fact that people were in constant movement before agriculture was invented (just a dozen or so thousand years ago!) and would run into very "strange", unknown tribes on their journeys - without having any idea whatsoever of where they came from, what they believe in or how they're likely to behave towards strangers - and I imagine much of the time, given evidence of widespread violence in our past, they would almost always fight each other. When the other tribe was so different like the Neanderthals would have looked, I imagine it was extremely hard not to default to basically trying to exterminate them completely. Perhaps the few cases of breeding between humans and Neanderthals could be explained by young members of the exterminated tribes which the humans took pity on and decided to raise within their own tribes? I wonder if there's any sort of evidence of this sort of thing happening, or something else like actual peaceful coexistence and maybe even trading between the species (again, I would guess that would be extremely unlikely as we even today prefer to trade with those who are at least a little bit like us).

This is true. Metrics are really about who owns the narrative and who runs the org. If the latter group get their guy into power then decisions will be made that cause inefficiency, waste and even reduced revenue far longer than is logical.
Nuke 1.0.1 – A memory arena implementation for Go
I'm not sure I'm a slow thinker, but I often over think which causes me to delay output. I also struggle with word recall which compounds my issues with real-time communication. This is something I tried to seek some advice on the other day without much luck, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39512837

Regardless of whether I'm a slow thinker or not though, we have the exact same problem in that my ability to answer questions on the spot is probably comparable to someone with an IQ in the 80-90 range, while my actual IQ is likely somewhere around 130.

The only thing that I can realistically do is just reject to answer certain questions on the spot. Normally I'll say something like, "I'm sorry, I'd need to think about that a bit and get back to you", but obviously whether or not this is appropriate will depend on the context – you can't say this in an interview, for example.

I'm also autistic and something I've learnt in life is that when you have such divergent abilities really have no option but to play to your strengths. There are always things you can do to improve where your ability is lacking, but realistically you're not going to be able to completely alter the way your mind works. The better strategy is just to appreciate the ways you excel and try your best to use your strengths to add value to the situations you find yourself in.

So for me I think my ability to go away and reflect on problems is excellent, so if this is an option for me that's what I'll try to do. So maybe your strength just isn't in real-time debates? Maybe you're better at making your arguments via blog posts, or if this is at work perhaps you're good at going away, thinking about something and then writing up a proposal with your reasoning.

The other way this effects me which I'll briefly comment on is my ability to joke and have small talk. Because I'm not very witty and I'm autistic I can naturally come off as a bit cold and detached in conversations. I deal with this by trying to overcompensate for my natural coldness by smiling and showing appreciation for people so they know I'm not cold because I don't like them, I'm just a bit socially awkward. I don't know if you have the same problem, but this helps me a ton at work. I think people who lack social wit often fall into trap of thinking that they can't be likeable people, but really the reason they're not likeable is because they make people feel uncomfortable around them. In my experience people kinda like awkward people when they're friendly and positive to be around. There's lots of examples of lovable awkward characters in popular media that might come to mind and be good models to try to replicate in your own interactions.
Subtitles in a foreign language? Probably not. Subtitles translated into their original language? I think it's probably an exaggeration that people have learnt it before starting school because it implies a lot about what learning it means, but picking up a number of words, sure.
However they trained their models from scratch, which is also why they only have meaningful numbers for 700M, 1.3B, 3B and 3.9B models. Apparently they are following BitNet's approach of replacing linear layers with quantized layers during training? If it was trivial to convert existing models without performance loss I would have expected them to include a benchmark of that somewhere in the paper to generate even more impact.

Span Metrics Processor is replaced with the very similar Span Metrics Connector which is still supported
What you are implicitly describing is called a phonemic orthography and it has a well-known share of problems. Fully phonemic orthography means that any pronunciation difference should be more or less reflected to that, but that means all dialects of a single language should be recorded differently. Also many such differences are linguistically transparent, that is, native speakers actually don't really realize and so can't really distinguish them. Therefore it is desirable to weaken the phonemicity a bit to make it more palatable for native speakers.

Hangul was originally highly phonemic, but a modern reform is much more hybrid ("morphophonemic") mainly because it's much easier and relatively more stable in the long term. Double letters, for example, are used when a syllable coda (jongseong) affects the following syllable onset (choseong). Such cases can be quite regularly described as having two codas, where the first coda remains in the original syllable and the second coda is merged to the following syllable in a specific way. The actual difficulty in the Korean language is much more subtle than that in my knowledge.

It doesn't work that way, exactly because the buildings are well insulated they keep warmth for much longer during summer.

Back in July 2018 we had a month of hot weather in Stockholm (you probably experience it, saw in another comment you moved Sweden -> Spain), temperatures reaching 30C for multiple days and "tropical nights" (air temperature >= 20C during the night), even as a native Brazilian I could not bear how hot my house got, it wouldn't cool down during the night and the next day it'd heat up again. It got to a point where I couldn't sleep and there was a shortage of fans for sale, super basic fans were going for 100€ in the 2nd hand market.

> Should there be surge pricing in, IDK, healthcare?

There are no "shoulds" in life – if you want to offer healthcare services under a surge model, go nuts – but it is unlikely that surge pricing would be beneficial in healthcare. Surge pricing meant to incentivize shifting some activity to another time of day.

Routine healthcare needs are generally already scheduled by appointment to ensure appropriate distribution. As such, there are no surges. Unexpected healthcare needs may encounter surges, but as they are not expected, a higher price doesn't alter incentives. Nobody wants to have unexpected healthcare needs in the first place. They aren't thinking "You know, a hospital visit is cheaper at 11AM. That's when I'll choose to break my arm!" Without that, you don't gain anything with surge pricing.

But someone thinking "You know, lunch is cheaper at 11AM. That's when I'm going to start eating lunch!" is quite realistic and beneficial to the restaurant. And, indeed, surge pricing is nothing new for restaurants for exactly that reason. Of course, traditionally, they have called it "happy hour" rather than "surge pricing", but the idea is the same.
But any "needs manual, doesn't have manual" tool is less likely to be seriously relied upon in the first place, so it won't cause too many problems.

My dad died late last year and I inherited all of his self hosting projects. Thankfully I helped him set up pretty much all of them and they revolve around home automation and media management.

This is why I refuse to touch “critical” things for self-hosting like email. If Home Assistant goes down then it’s not the end of the world. Physical switches still work and people can work around it. Same deal with a media server, it’s not the end of the world. Losing email/chat/photos IS the end of the world for a lot of people.
You need to use a less general term than 'emulation' to make that claim.

Your OS emulates. The companies that made the chips you run them on emulate their own hardware. The company in the headline emulate their own video game hardware and sell it to their customers.
Note: Some of us spend way to much time "playing chess" with problems, particularly people, and many times, the quick responses I have are because of that. It doesn't mean I'm set in my ways or making irrational choices, but like someone studying a chess position, sometimes all you're waiting for is the next move.

But, externally, no one's gonna see this shit so it's just something one has to get comfortable knowing about themselves but not other people. We often advise people a "lowest common denominator" type of logic because philosophically, it's impossible to know what the actual fuck.

Learning Hangul got me out of a rut when the pandemic started. I was very unmotivated and decided I needed to shake things up so spent an evening with a case of beer writing a program in Go (a language I hadn't used before at the time) to help me practice Hangul. I don't remember a thing now, but I could indeed read it very consistently after just a few hours.

Learning interesting things again got me motivated and out of that rut.

RAG doesn't require much data or involve any training, it is a fancy name for "automatically paste some relevant context into the prompt"

Basically if you have a database of three emails and ask when Biff wanted to meet for lunch, a RAG system would select the most relevant email based on any kind of search - embeddings are most fashionable, and create a prompt like

"""Given this document: <your email>, answer the question "When does Biff want to meet for lunch?"""

I have heard that :

if you avoid exposure to equal temperament (western compromise tuning that allows 12 keys with equal deviation from the Pythagorean (integer) ratios) , and only listen to "just intonation" - various tunings that adhere to the integer ratios, you get used to the just intonations and find equal temperament "out of tune". I don't get the impression this study tried to use subjects who weren't still hearing "regular" music.

the post gives two examples:

- given a number t of seconds after the epoch, what time of day does it represent? using python's definition, (t + tz) % 86400

- given an offset d between two pixels in a pixel buffer organized into sequential lines, what is the x component of the offset? using python's definition, d % width is right when the answer is positive, width - (d % width) when the answer is negative, so you could write d % width - d > p0x ? d % width : width - d % width. this gets more complicated with the fortran definition, not simpler

edit: the correct expression is (d % width if p0x + d % width < width else d % width - width) or in c-like syntax (p0x + d % width < width ? d % width : d % width - width). see http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/modpix.py
