Hi all: I'm the founder/CEO of Stedi. Came here to say that we're preparing to publicly launch drop-in replacements for Change's Claims and Eligibility APIs[1]. Our new API will allow customers who have been using Change to directly switch with minimal development effort. The API: i) accepts Change JSON request format, ii) translates it to X12 270/837, iii) submits it to a clearinghouse (we have a master connection with Availity, or can use yours), and iv) returns the response as Change JSON. We are working around the clock over the weekend to onboard the first external customers.

Here are the beginnings of the docs:

https://www.stedi.com/docs/api-reference/post-healthcare-cla...
https://www.stedi.com/docs/api-reference/post-healthcare-eli...

Our goal is to help providers submit claims and eligibility checks as quickly as possible. We’ve created a streamlined contracting process along with a standardized price list and the ability to match volume pricing. We can get folks set up with a dedicated Slack channel immediately and start working with engineering/ops teams to get back online.

If there's anything we can do to help, email us at change@stedi.com or contact me directly (zack@stedi.com).

Most plastics slightly 'cure' in UV anyway, in that they lose their plasticity and become more rigid.
I had a Lisa on my desk in late 1983, along with an Apple II and Apple III and later a PC/XT (not sure if that appeared before they took the Lisa away). The Lisa was for evaluation, so I wrote some reports with it but didn't get to write any code. It was ridiculously expensive, but I could tell that it represented the future of personal computing. Explaining to my friends how it worked was difficult; even the concept of a mouse, much less fonts and a bit-mapped display, was foreign to them. None of my friends even owned any kind PC so they had little to compare my description to.

Here’s my ask before you enter your perfectly argued comment here: if you have 30 mins read these NYT profiles of 12 children lost to gun crime: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/12/14/magazine/gun-....

If you’re passionate about this subject and have lots of time go and volunteer at high crime communities (if you dare), for example in high schools.

I did the latter for three years, volunteering to help the Ace Tech High School (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACE_Amandla_Charter_High_Sch...) more than 10 years ago, as part of their Robotics Team. The problems I saw were myriad but it was common to see lockers decorated with flowers, for kids who died recently.

I totally understand and agree with the educated person’s poverty, bias, etc. arguments. But when a problem gets this bad first you need to stop it, and then work on long term goals.

Just answer this question: if your child had 10% chance of getting shot and killed walking to/from from school, what would your position be on any technology that can reduce that by even 1%.
Dubai DIFC has English-language commercial law, with British Law as a backstop for appeals and ambiguity. I can't imagine KSA agreeing to that, and even if they did, nobody would trust them - it's a rather capricious absolute monarchy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai_International_Financial_...

Dubai does not have oil, so it depends on its business environment, plus a little tourism. That will keep it honest. KSA is inefficient, inept, corrupt and positively dishonest, so it will never win.

And literally nobody on the planet wants to live in Riyadh.
> you should reasonably safe, no?

No, just as an example, Windows has had multiple kernel exploits that only required crafted fonts to be loaded by the victim computer. Any interaction with the world outside of the sandbox leaves room for a foot in the door, and there's necessarily a lot. Images, video, audio, the multitude of device APIs, and like the font exploits show, even the most basic page rendering.
How are you privy to the underlying algorithms/source-code being made available to defense teams? I thought the source code (algorithm) doesn't have to be made available to defense teams.

So which of today's accepted theories are in error? Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity do not agree so at least one must be incorrect yet both are widely if not completely accepted.
95% conversion into electricity (or steam if you prefer) by a solar plant wouldn't have a cooling effect at all. It's just high grade energy that eventually becomes low grade energy (thermal energy) heating the atmosphere of the earth.

if you actually want to prevent light from becoming thermal energy on earth it'd be far easier to build a dyson swarm to obstruct the sun.
Those all could be unnecessary with advanced planning
Surely the sand captures a lot of thermal radiation?
Police presence increased the detection of crime and thus increases the statistics of crime in the area

There are interesting parallels between automatic writing. electronic
voice phenomena [0], "hallucinations" obtained in generative systems
seeded with noise and the misinterpretation of "chatter" in
intelligence analysis. The common factor is that "We see/hear what we
want to". It happens wherever there are imperceptible biases impinging
on the system. A nice portrayal is the ad-lib construction of Keyser

My understanding is that Chromium renders fonts and other graphics primitives via Skia. Video and audio uses ffmpeg. And all of these libraries are statically linked.
How mach of our current understanding is just as wrong?
Some people don't like computers and continue to watch television.
Frustrating as it is, everyone wants their one-off product to be a subscription now. Coffee, books, music, games, software...

I don't like it anywhere, but I guess HP is merely following a terrible trend.
So people want more police presence but they draw the line of microphones to listen to gunfire to triangulate crime and arrest murderers? Seems like the second one is a lot less egregious but I guess since I don't have "source" you win the argument.

I'm pretty sure we should start arresting people who kill other people and remove them from society. Pretty high on priority
There are a few rust solutions in the "Show and Tell" linked above, for example this fairly readable one at 15.5s: https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc/discussions/57
A comment above referencing Python "polars" actually has rust polars, std, and SIMD solutions as well (SIMD was fasted, but less readable for a hobbyist like me).

> For this reason, this website does not enforce HTTPS/SSL

No SSL on the website means someone could easily MITM the connection and serve something else. That’s a very bad decision short of providing a different form of cryptographic authentication.

SSL isn’t just for encryption, friends.
I was using a Core2 Duo with 4GB as my main home computer until about a year ago, and while some sites made it run slowly (mostly recipe sites and others with a lot of video ads) it was certainly still usable. The trick was to keep the browser down below 10 or so tabs and close it when I needed to use some other heavy piece of software.
Most people these days sit behind a firewall on their router. This wasn't nearly as common in 2003. So the only way the OS is exposed is via the browser.

I'd hope (expect even) this port to include it's own libraries for things like TLS, JPEG, PNG, PDF, etc. Which I'm pretty sure Chromium does anyway. But type-faces might still be an issue. TTF is Turing complete and I wouldn't be surprised if that was handed by the OS. So there might be an issue there.
Don't bank on office-to-home conversions

> As long as demand exists for the product, cartel members make more money than regular market actors. Defectors can make even more money

These two are completely contradictory statements. "Regular market actors" are the same as "defectors." Fracking companies, for example would not be able to exist without OPEC driving up the price of oil because it would be too expensive.
"Asinine" is a bit much. There can be huge problems that aren't illegal, but that doesn't mean the crime rate is totally useless. You just have to treat it carefully, like any measurement.
Thanks for the details! I'm asking because the overall rate is historically super low, and that kind of behavior from the landlords seems ... bananas - to use the terminus technicus. (But of course, maybe during ZIRP it was not a problem to try to experiment with various crazy - and inhumane - pricing schemes.)

Would it be a good trade off to double the species in the Amazon for doubling the size of the Sahara? Is the number of species the only metric on which the success of the planet should be based?

That whole band of desert - from Mauritania to China - is spreading. Desert is death, and is barely any different to Mars. Imagine the absolute crisis the world will face when the likes of Spain become like Algeria, and the current migration trends intensify tenfold.

We need to do a better job of adapting to what we have and living in ways which complement the terrain. The Sahara has lots of potential to support life and create sustainable thriving communities, but are being ignored as the world.
Yup even Authy mobile app has fingerprint integration. Thanks for your feedback.
If there is so many of these materials not necessarily planet, can we have this partially dark matter?
The nets are much more successful in capturing all sorts of birds at once, with little effort, even in environments where you wouldn't get clear line of sight for photos and/or for species that don't sit still for long enough.

Handling the birds makes for far better identification (and more detailed pictures too), which is important for places where unknown, hard to identify or hard to detect species are likely to exist. It also allows taking measurements, banding the birds and even collecting tissue samples. So nets are a far better ROI for some scientific projects.
I mean yeah they can see what other firms do but they aren't actually talking to each other (or at least not in a proveable way) to organize prices. It's a very different situation than having a business with an algorithm to share pricing models.

Obviously law firms colluding on prices isn't good but how they are colluding is completely different.
I've been thinking, just for fun, which browsers still would support Windows XP. The answer was that nothing current or even half decent really did and I had to go back quite a bit in time to find anything. So this actually fills a niche! If you for some reason want this. I for one probably need to try run an XP VM with this soon! :D Looking forward to the future Windows 2000 support!

Are you talking about this?:

> One advantage RealPage’s data warehouse had was its access to actual lease transactions — giving it the true rents paid, instead of simply those a landlord advertised, RealPage said.

The above quote is the most substantive description of info sharing I could find in the section "Who Uses the Software and How It Work" in the article you linked. Is the claim that the secretive info being shared is the actual rents tenants are paying? Are companies and people not normally allowed to share that?

Windows XP is the last version of Windows that's generally thought to be free of backdoors and US spyware. This is possibly why Putin seems to still use it (a photo of Putin was all over the internet a few months ago https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-lm&q=putin+...).

There are private companies that claim backport security updates, although I don't know how effective they are. Their customers are primarily government and defense.
Update for posterity: Actually, Flatpak does have a solution for plugins, and they even explicitly use OBS as an example! Unfortunately, a lot of information around the web suggests that there are only a couple of plugins available as Flatpak extensions, but actually nowadays it appears there are in fact tons[1]. Very cool! Another one off the list.

Dismissing basic, reasonable expectations as "feel good slogans" is a smarmy tactic to distract from wealth hoarding.

The sky is the limit with what humans can do, but under late stage capitalism, it boils down to the preferences of those who control the system, and nothing more.

Can you describe what secret info is being shared in those cases? Is it just the rents people are paying?
> Just answer this question: your child had 10% chance of getting shot and killed walking to/fro from school, what would your position be on any technology that can reduce that by even 1%.

Just to put some actual perspective on the numbers: about 40 kids are killed in all of New Mexico each year and about 20 of those are suicides (still tragic but not the walking-home-from-school kind). That's still too many, but is nowhere near 10%. You're inflating the numbers to trigger emotions.

Making wide scale policy decisions based on your emotions surrounding anecdotal incidents is not a good policy. I feel for the families that lose their children, but I don't believe that acting for the sake of acting is safe.

Acting in the heat of a crisis is how we got the TSA and the NSA, which we still haven't managed to get rid of. The risk of creating an enormous and impossible to get rid of surveillance state to save 1% of 20 kids per year (2 kids every 10 years) frankly isn't worth it.
It's disappointing to see a brainless comment like that on HN. You don't need to be versed in geopolitics to understand that Russia is a threat to western Europe and people like this create a counterweight to the insane part of Russian society. You need dissidents and oppositionists to have a chance to build a normal country in Russia.

Why responsible AI matters

Key ethical risks to watch out for

Responsible AI principles and practices

The role of product managers

Ethical Considerations and Responsible AI in Product Management

Source: CNBC

Just weeks ago, Google's new Gemini chatbot showed us exactly why responsible and ethical AI practices are non-negotiable. The tool's image generation capabilities delivered offensive, inaccurate results, forcing Google to take it offline indefinitely. Clearly, unchecked AI can easily lead to unintended harm.

As Google CEO Sundar Pichai acknowledged, Gemini "missed the mark" by creating biased, misleading images that rightly provoked user outrage. By inadequately tuning the model to handle sensitive prompts about race or gender, Google reinforced prejudices that betrayed user trust.

This very public AI ethics crisis shows why we as product managers must champion responsible development. As emerging technologies spread into healthcare, justice, finance and other sensitive domains, ethical risks compound exponentially. We have an obligation to move cautiously and implement safeguards aligned with moral values - a duty this edition explores through responsible AI principles and practices for managers overseeing AI-powered products.

The lessons from mishaps like Google’s underline why responsible AI is not just about avoiding bad PR; it's about upholding fundamental moral duties to avoid inflicting harm through the unintended consequences of technology. By upholding key ethical principles, assessing societal impact thoughtfully and centering people in the development process, we can reap AI’s benefits while steering clear of its risks.
There is no difference between real understanding and integrating feedback into a hallucinating model. We're adjusting based on feedback to reign hallucination in.

I had never heard about it, but it seems nice! Am I right that it is really about "sharing" the code and not so much about "allowing to modify", in the sense that it does not prevent tivoization? Or did I miss that part?
Not impossible, but it would likely be relegated to a video on some obscure YouTube channel with no transcript and a few hundred views. Though for the biggest orgs (Microsoft and Apple of today), there are too many layers of red tape and lawyers, so in that case I'd fully agree.

It's not "well-intentioned" at all.

The objective is to make you obey. That's it. That's the whole reason.

The folderol about "neuro-divergent people" is just a thin gloss of claimed virtue intended to disguise the actual goal.

Do they have any actual evidence that "neuro-divergent people" suffer a greater degree of trauma from clapping than finger-snapping? No, they don't. Sure, there might be a "neuro-divergent" person, or even more than one, who finds clapping disturbing, but that says nothing at all about the general case.

> if anyone doesn’t comply, that’s a great indicator that they oppose all of the above and are therefore fascists to be smoked out.

Or witches, perhaps. The terminology changes over the years, but the tactics remain the same. The people who get out the torches and pitchforks because someone clapped his hands are exactly the same type of people who used to lynch blacks, burn harmless old ladies as witches, and throw Jews down wells. Exactly.

They do it because they enjoy hurting people, and have found a cover story that allows them to do it under an illusion of virtue. You complain because we burned Mrs. Johnson? Well, then you must be pro-Satan!
>> What does intelligence have to do with seeing a video?

The raw video footage of the multi-layered plasma fusion reaction in a laboratory conveys meaningful and complete information, directly validating the larger assertions made by the Safire team. The information is right there.

If you are not able to comprehend what is right there on video not just in one place but many videos over several years, and you still want to present non-arguments against it, then you aren't very intelligent. Simple as.

>> you think you'd be able to discern Intel Pentium IV from 14900K from a video footage

The topic is not about CPUs, the topic is about plasma fusion.

>> Fusion is just going to produce light of a certain spectrum.

The fusion in question shows multiple separate plasma layers, this key information is literally shown in the video in question, not mere spectrometry.

You argued against novel scientific information conveyed in raw footage providing proof of the scientific claims made. You don't even know what the video is yet you present a bad argument where you don't even know what it is you are arguing about.

What a fucking waste of time. God damn you are stupid. You should be ashamed for posting such garbage.

edited: clarified video footage
We're certainly zero-ing in on the truth though, which is extremely exciting
>But it begs the obvious question if there's a legitimate use case for this, other than having a modern browser when spinning up your retro machine for that nostalgia once a year.

There are lots of Windows 2008 / 2012 servers out there. Not internet facing hopefully. But that still may need something better than Internet Explorer to display webpages.

Also lab machines that are still on XP or 7.
>stopping the changes we’re already causing

That ship sailed when the industrial revolution started. We - as a planet - industrialised, and the cost is a change in climate. Billions of people are catching up with what Europe kickstarted, and nothing's going to change that.

The equilibrium is going to be thinking about how the future world may look, and adapting our terrain and lifestyles to match it. The Sahara is the perfect test bed for this.
So today we have Google accounts suspended by corporate bots (on the grounds mostly based on output of /dev/urandom), and I wonder (looking at the sales pitch of these ideas in 1997): are we NUI yet? And if yes, can we have our GUI back please?

Frankly, idea of mainframe is much older, and never really appealed to me. I prefer a kind PCs where P is for 'personal'.
there is a system diagram of roles; this system serves several purposes at once, some of the roles accelerate or benefit from, different purposes; there is so much money involved that the money becomes a driver aside from intended purposes.

The system is being attacked / interfered with, almost certainly over the money parts.

Patients using the product are by definition not reliable for self-prescribing (argue against this all you want, there is a lot there)

Specialization has risen profoundly in the digital age. Even full time MD's do not know all the aspects of the prescriptions; even full time pharmacists do not know all the medical case context; patients know almost none of this as a whole, though the have intense incentives to think they do, or try to, to varying degrees of success.

A suggestion of "just let the markets and customers work it out" is unwise at the least, and certainly will bring unintended consequences. The current system is overly gamed and now failing outright. What to do? just describing a problem space here..
