I recently was informed that the question to my doctor over messaging qualifies as “e-visit” and was giving 3 different CPT codes(differing by time physician would spend answering it)
The CPT is how services are identified for medical billing and I called my hospitals financial assistance line to find the contractual “allowed amount” they would charge my insurance(and therefore me since I did not hit my deductible)

The cost for this e-visit message would range from $65 if it took less than 10 minutes to $438 if it took more than 25 minutes.

With absolute zero accountability on how this time was spent.

Lawyers are way more transparent than medical billers
I watched some on a recommendation and used to see some of their ideas on X-Twitter.

One conclusion I came to was that I didn't respect those people's ability to discern or conclude.
Yes, it would be good for extractive QA
If you scroll down to the actual picture of what Tesla advertises the tent to look like, instead of an old concept render of various products that were never sold, you can plainly see that the person has not used the poles to set up the tent properly.

From the title, I was expecting this to be the result of a jailbreak of Claude. I was pleasantly surprised that it is an Anthropic employee disclosing and explaining the rationale for it.
In Europe and Asia, we solve that issue by limiting maximum consist weight, usually in the range of 2k to 5k tons.
Everyone talks about asteroid mining, but what about mining the asteroids that have already accumulated on the moon?

Afaik the problem is getting resources back to Earth, but it seems more plausible to me that we could refine more repeatably on the Moon vs. on specific asteroids.

What am I missing?
The bitnet paper was showing worse results than fp16 transformer with the same parameter count. The shocking result in the 1.58b paper (same group) is no quality loss compared to fp16.
Since home office I no longer have a laptop.
My priors were that Anthropic is the most left leaning & most secretive of the big labs. So this is quite surprising!
Yes but without the need for the full furniture. One should be able to miniaturize everything else but the action. I think such compact designs will eventually appear but the difference in real action versus very good hybrid digital actions is of highest interest to musicians who typically have access to real pianos. Roland, Yamaha, Kawai, and others have been moving in that direction over the years and the top models by Yamaha and Kawai have passable actions though they still have a large piece of furniture around them.

Huge congratulations on the launch!
Interesting that the discussion them was mainly focussed on the feasibility in comparison to asteroid mining.

Is that still a reasonable proposition in the mid- long-term future, or was everyone’s imaginations running a bit wild during the COVID lockdowns of mid-2021?
I spent months researching my next laptop.

After buying a machine I thought was The One, I returned it after sort of accidentally stumbling upon the LG Gram. I was and still am surprised how difficult it was to come across. It feels like a hidden gem. It is a dream come true, and no one pays me to say that.

In my circle, people come to me looking for laptop advice, and so far 11 other people have picked one up (or I went and got it for them) and they love/loved it.

If you want a basic one, they have them at Costco for like $999. Mine is the $1800 version from LG.com, and I couldn't be happier.

My dad's had a hardware issue after a few months, and after a bit of troubleshooting, they replaced the motherboard promptly.

It checks all my boxes off: 17 inch, backlit keyboard, long battery life, super light (like, scary light), num pad, USB charging and display, and the only Windows trackpad I've found that is better than the Macbook.

I can run 3 monitors (one 4k) with VSCode, Photoshop, postman, Visual Studio (with iisexpress server running), MSSQL studio, Teams, Brave (+ 39 tabs), YouTube, and the thing doesn't skip a beat, or get loud or super hot; it does get warm, but that's expected with that load.

It's also comically easy to open up and upgrade the RAM or SSD, or replace the keyboard or screen.

My only complaint would be the sound; the speakers don't go very loud. But headphones or external speakers fix that, so it's only mildly problematic. Very little bloatware or pre installed LG garbage.

If you don't need a dedicated graphics card, I don't know of a better Windows laptop. But if you're really done with Windows overall.... Ignore all this :)

I find Windows 11 to still be tolerable with some tweaks to the settings/notifications.
My aunt’s deathbed regret at 61 from cancer - “I wish I had kids.”

If you aren’t mentally deranged or have a genetic disease you may pass on, it really is a mistake to skip having kids. Everyone I know with kids in their 40s and 50s is content. Everyone without are getting ever more extreme hobbies, like creating huge professional-esque home breweries or starting to BASE jump.
Now you're adding "gated" ..

There's no point here, I merely added the accident details as I was curious, and the location photos for the same reasons.

I'm over 60 and have spent most of my life in places far more remote than this, albeit in the company of people that deal with accidents, fires, floods, medical dramas as they happen without waiting for big city emergancy services.
After WFH became normalized, the "existential anxiety" dropped away. My mental state is different and I'm happier. I can work-crunch better, but I don't feel bad sitting in an office wasting my life. I'm at home, where I'm happy to sit around and tinker with what I enjoy.
>The real-world utility is already enormous in the form it is now. You really think there's no real-world utility to GPT-4, Claude, and all the models that are coming out?

I'm not who you're responding to, but I think it's at least true that there is enough competition, including open source competition, to make some of the current valuations a bit fanciful.
A philosopher friend of mine pointed this exact thing: After having children he stopped pondering about the big existential questions.

Paraphrasing his words: "You neither have the time nor the need to think of the meaning of it all: Children give meaning to everything ."
Some people deserve to lose their money.
Of course not, but that has more to do with making things workable for the living (e.g. no constant fights over inheritance) than with the wishes of the dead.

Sure, but this is for the satisfaction and closure of the living, not for the dead. The dead aren’t satisfied, or anything else really.

I added “gated” because that was a key fact in the article explaining why she died. My point was rich people sometimes move to very remote, inaccessible mansions to avoid the hoi poloi, but there are trade offs.
This comes across as a really aggressive comment for no real reason.

A lot of people find too much free time distressing. Even with a lot of projects to pursue, or come up with, it can be difficult to focus on any particular one for the simple fact that the mind can be preoccupied with the constant weighing of opportunity costs, and become stagnant (only now with even more anxiety about opportunity being wasted).

Sometimes people reveal things about themselves because they’re looking for the validation only others commiserating can bring. Unfortunately this often invites needless criticism.
Taxes are already too high.
My suggestion would give consumers an additional choice. Sounds like that is something you are against? I thought that this was what this was all about.
How do computers add numbers so quickly? [video]
Neither method works.

If the framework records the occurrence of the call before the effect of the function, you achieve at-most-once semantics. If it records the call after the effect, you get at-least-once.

The framework might perform its idempotency bookkeeping within the same transaction boundary as the function's side-effects, but this means the function implementation is no longer a black-box. E.g. you can no longer perform arbitrary side-effects while preserving the idempotency guarantees of the framework.
I used to own the TS-E 24mm II. It was a great lens, and using it was a process that made you slow down and consider things.

But I think your pro photographer friend is right. Modern DSLRs and a really good wide angle (say 9mm or 12mm) will let you correct in post for any shift you want.

Tilt is still not possible even in post, but I found that to be rarely useful at 24mm. For macro it would probably be useful all the time.
>the original iPhone itself was a technical marvel

Apple didn't invent anything in the original iPhone, except the software. And the first version was really lacking and very buggy.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/steve-jobs-rigged-first-iphon...

Other phones that predated the iPhone release had more capabilities and more software. There was nothing really "marvelous" about the original iPhone, it was many years behind Microsoft.

The HTC Wizard was a "technical marvel" in 2005. Apple was playing catch-up in 2007.
This felt very relevant to me, i.e. the perspectives on existential anxiety and relationship with work. Our first is a week 'overdue' today and as someone who deliberated for years over whether having a child was 'right', I have no regret and I can't wait. The parts about purpose, difficulty in regretting certainly feel true. But all that may be the monkey brain chemicals racing around so hopefully this comment doesn't age poorly.
Peer review is supposed to review the quality of the research. It is not supposed to validate the findings, let alone detect fraud.
This is super great. Apple had it coming for years now. Fck the monopoly.
Yup, a very refreshing perspective considering the other major players' seemingly pointless secrecy about it.
You'd be surprised. 1 billion instructions in 25ms is realistic these days.

My laptop can execute about 400 billion CPU instructions per second on battery.

That's about 10 billion instructions in 25ms.

Ihat's the CPU alone, i.e. not including the GPU which would increase the total considerably. Also not counting SIMD lanes as separate: The count is bona fide assembly language instructions.

It comes from cores running at ~4GHz, 8 issued instructions per clock, times 12 cores, plus 4 additional "efficiency" cores adding a bit more. People have confirmed by measurement the 8 instructions per clock is achievable (or close) in well-optimised code. Average code is more like 2-3 per cycle.

Only for short periods as the CPU is likely to get hot and thermally throttle even with its fan. But when it throttles it'll still exceed 1 billion in 25ms.

For perspective on how far silicon has come, the GPU on my laptop is reported to do about 14 trillion floating-point 32-bit calculations per second.

Yes, but if there’s only one party that can be wronged by breaking the promise (e.g. feeling bad you broke a promise to your dead father), it becomes a bit different.

Sure, most people would feel terrible about doing that. But you would keep that promise out of respect, not because the dead are hurt by breaking it.
I don't think you understand the concept of governance. This is not Tesla's board.

The caption below the cartoon got me thinking...

Intense craving for sugar, is a harmless and potentially beneficial adaptation for a human hunter-gatherer. This however, can be quite harmful for a city-dweller, and forces him to incessantly keep a watch over his impulses and frequently keep applying breaks.

Is there an accepted or popular term for such adaptations which eventually turned into maladaptations as we civilised ourselves?
I mean, it would be disrespectful, and probably make a lot of people very unhappy, but it wouldn’t be the dead whose bodies you used.
Good approach, but it's time-bound. How do you find meaning after your kids leave the nest?
Directing the words “aren’t you ashamed” at any human being for any reason at all that doesn’t involve them having been observed committing what could reasonably be seen as an actual moral crime is proof of a lack of empathy.

Congratulations on being a functioning psychopath… a substantial percentage of self-starters are.

There’s nothing remotely shameful about desiring to have a purpose and a task to which you are, either by self or by other, employed… the only thing that can be shameful is what task you’re set to and how and why you’re set to it. Give me a worker bee laboring every day to feed others over a “self-made” go-getter laboring to own a gold toilet.
NVlink + two 3090 gives 48GB relatively easy (appears as unified memory). I only skimmed the article briefly, was it considered?
> I am not sure the Tesla has much to do with it.

There are some scenarios in which a vehicle is accidentally backed into a pond up to the point where the occupants are in grave risk of drowning, but not many. If this is not one of these scenarios, then the possibility that the vehicle was in an autonomous mode is one that should be considered (this applies to any vehicle with a level of autonomy sufficient to render such an event possible, not just Teslas.)
Yup. Actually yes. At least this way US wouldn't be able to use it's excuse of supporting democracy anytime further in future to get away with more crimes. This will actually result in net decrease in overall trust in US and it's hypocricies.

As far as Gazan's go, if US really wished to help them, just stop supporting Israel. That's it. But no. US wouldn't do that. Because now everyone knows where US's true interests lies... this "fact" is now 100% clear to entire world. The speeches about democracy by US and EU and other developed counteies were just a facade to commit crimes in hidden manner.

No one now trusts any of the developed countries anymore. time and again have shown them to be utterly corrupt to the core.

So yea... instead of "acting" to help Gazan's, US should actually help them.
You may have a point. Perhaps naively I imagined that if competitive gamers can handle it, they may be useful enough for piano. Currently the CPU software is lacking in quality (though improving over time) but has acceptable latency compared to grands (which also have latency due to the mechanism and the location of the sound source).
> You can't escape google's tracking. Paying them won't stop them either.

This was the point I was making

They will never be incentivesed to stop doing the above if you keep shooting down their attempts to follow a different business model.

Regarding them ( asin YouTube ) "hiding their profit" maybe it is because it is much much lower than you believe it is, possibly even negative and the borg overlords at alphabet puts a ton of pressure on the executives to change that, but that is speculation so you are welcome to ignore it an believe in whatever fantasy you want. I find it more helpful for my mental health to not believe people are evil.
How would you compare it to Gemstone/S? I spent a large chunk of the 90s working on a maintenance management system witha GS back end.
I (childless) thought this article was fantastic and convincing and then at the end the author reveals that she doesn’t have kids and then interviews a few of her friends who are parents and they are way less romantic about the whole thing.

Certainly some of the hesitation people have about having children simply comes from the many parents who don’t make it sound great.

I honestly think it’d be great to have a study that interviews parents but segments them by income. So we can see how much of the struggle is actually caused by not being able to pay for daycare or a maid etc.
> I think your comment is missing one important aspect - the pieces as a whole.

Good point, and potentially a fatal flaw to my arguments. I don't know how to analyze the whole of Wordle without getting caught up in the parts. For what it's worth, I think that the whole of Wordle is only slightly thicker than the sum of the uncopyrightable parts. Wordle has no in-game story. There are no creative visual assets; a colored square with a letter in it is not creative. The game elements (the letters, the game board, and the on-screen keyboard) are so few in number as to have their positional and orientational arrangements be uncopyrightable according to the merger doctrine [1].

The way the game instructions and other game messages (when winning and when losing, for example) were written might be copyrightable (unless recipes are very similar [2]), but I don't think that the clones copied the wording of the Wordle game instructions or other game messages any more than would be permissible under the merger doctrine.

So what's left is color choices. Green for correct is a cultural norm and is uncreative. Black text on white and white text on black (or one particular dark grey, with the caveat that a change to a different shade of grey could be a creative choice) is uncreative. The rest of the color choices are individually creative to a degree, so the entire color scheme as a whole could be creative.

What matters is not the whole of the original Wordle but the whole of what each clone copies from the original Wordle. If a clone were to use a different colors to indicate incorrect letters and correct letters in the wrong positions, differently worded instructions (which likely already was the case), and different code files (which likely already was the case), then such a clone would not be a valid DMCA target. The whole of Wordle without the original colors, without the original instructions, and without the original files would fall under the merger doctrine. In practice, for most of these clones, I think that the only valid basis for the DMCA notices was that the clones copied Wordle's color scheme.

I think it's possible to get a bit-perfect output sequence by having a bunch of lookup tables for waveforms, and then another table allowing you to chain together a sequence of waveforms (and phase, via offsets into waveforms). That should let you generate any sequence that a perfect delta sigma modulator would have output, with far lower ram requirements than the whole bitstream.

>But for the ones you do use, yes, you should have a good working knowledge of their spec, and should be able to look up details when you need to, and not depend on someone on Twitter (or Stack Overflow, for that matter) to do it.

The staffers don't depend on Twitter to do their job, and software engineers don't need to depend on Stack Overflow to use it.

To say that people who ask questions on Stack Overflow aren't yet software engineers is asinine.

>If you're at the stage where you're having to ask people on the Internet about such things, you aren't yet a software engineer. You're just an aspiring one.

If your definition of proficiency is "never asks questions", then your definition is a bad one.

Otherwise, it makes no difference whether questions are asked on the Internet or not.

>If they were doing their jobs, their response to him would be something like "Wow, you have a level of knowledge of this stuff pretty close to ours." Not "Hey, can we ask you questions because we can't be bothered to do our jobs ourselves?"

They are doing their jobs. The responsibility for the job falls on them. And if they can use a resource (an enthusiastic savant, Twitter, reddit, ChatGPT, ...) that allows them to do it faster, they're doing a good job.

As a software engineer, if you are spending an hour on something you could find out by asking in 5 minutes (taking 5 minutes of your time, and 5 minutes of someone else's), you are a bad software engineer, and are wasting your employer's money.

Jog on mate. There's a difference between "you won't regret them" and "it really is a mistake to skip having kids."

I know loads of older people without kids. Would their lives have had more meaning and fulfillment if they had them? Maybe, probably. But they are happy and content, living lives of meaning. As for your hobbies comment...seriously?
Ask HN: Pay via Square/ACH. Why does Plaid need access to transaction history?
I just paid an invoice sent to me via Square. Okay, cool. Vendor says ACH preferred, saves money. I agree, yeah. Only option Square offers to pay via ACH is Plaid. Plaid wants login info to my bank, and will also access transaction history as part of the "agreement". WTF? I just want to pay one ACH transaction. Plaid also settled a class action suit for collecting data against user's will and without their knowledge? I searched around, but I can't tell if everyone is cool with just handing over their complete banking transactions, or they don't use Plaid at all? What is going on?
I'm sorry but for 90% of picture consumption today, i.e. on phones, the original commenter is right. iPhone photos are good enough to look at on your phone. I'd guess that something like 90% of photos today are a) viewed on a phone and b) looked at for less than three seconds each.
