TypedDicts are a really disappointing feature. Typing fails if you pass it a dictionary with extra keys, so you can’t use it for many structural typing use cases.

It’s even more disappointing because this isn’t just an oversight. The authors have deliberately made having additional keys an error. Apparently, this even a divergence from how TypeScript checks dictionaries.

This isn’t at all true in the way you are portraying it. Of course, if you have more of something, you have more of the related things. If you have more oranges, more oranges are going to be rotten. This is obvious if you can think about it for more than 30s.

The overall net effect isn’t what you say it is though.

It’s similar in some ways, but very different in practice. I don’t study these things, but my understanding is that cap & trade puts a hard limit on emissions, then allows businesses to trade carbon allowance as a new sort of currency.

Carbon tax + dividend doesn’t put a hard limit, and it doesn’t establish a new currency/market. Instead, emissions are taxed at the business level and that revenue is paid out at the individual level. I like the way it plays to the strengths of our existing capitalistic system. It’s easy to ratchet up the taxes without affecting the little guy—even benefitting them. It seems easier to administer too.

Before my iPhone my previous two phones were a BlackBerry KeyOne (android) and BlackBerry Passport (BlackBerry 10). Not enough time has passed for nostalgia to set in. Those phones were the high water mark. This iPhone is generally fine but the keyboard is an awful compromise IMO. I don’t think I’ve ever typed a sentence correctly first time, or as fast as on a BlackBerry.
Is it? The actual discrimination can be quantified in a typical way. Attractiveness is only a bit trickier, but there's a high degree of agreement on attractive vs unattractive. Give a team of raters a group of people, present them pairs of people and ask them to select the more attractive one. Then you can create an average ordering, which you can map to whatever numerical range you want, and that score would be highly predictive of what future raters (and the real world) would find attractive.
> The soft keyboards on modern smartphones are just terrible

I find it’s best to think of the iOS keyboard[0] as being a single big touch area with no distinct buttons, which you type into by tapping your fingers in the general vicinity of where the correct keys are, and let autocorrect do all the work.

I get confused by people who disable autocorrect, because for me it’s the only way the keyboard works at all. Just as I’m typing this, fully half the words I’m typing are wrong as I’m typing them, and the phone is figuring out my actual meaning only by looking back entire sentences and figuring out the correct words by looking at probabilities. I never stop to check whether it got the word right, I just keep typing. It figures it out eventually.

(Side note, when it does get it wrong, I can’t imagine a worse system for correcting words than iOS has. I simply cannot ever get the cursor to go to the right place for correction. Whatever system is being used for placing the cursor in response to inaccurate taps, is fully and diametrically opposed to how I’d expect it to work. It’s criminally bad.)

- [0] probably android too, but I only have experience with iOS so that’s what I’m speaking to.

Though significant restrictions on supply do exist, the problem does not seem to be nearly as bad in Australia as in the USA [1]. In Australia there's ~15 medical graduates per 100k vs ~8 in USA.

The doctors in Australia are still definitely overworked though. A decent number of the people I went to school with became doctors in Australia, and though we work roughly the same number of hours (~60-70hrs/week), my work in the software industry is like a stroll in the park.

It was remarkable to hear my male friends who became doctors admitting that they had broken down crying in meetings with their boss because of workplace stress and exhaustion.

>They have to "do more with less" (Not limited to public sector, see Boeing), and that works for a while, until it doesn't.

Yes, which brings us back to the point I made about it being a numbers game. IF you start cutting back pilots sleep and planes' QA to boost profits, you'll reach the "it doesn't work" phase (planes dropping from the air killing everyone) much sooner and at a steeper rate than with overworked doctors where the decline is a lot slower and gradual hence why this issue gets ignored more easily by those in charge, because it's so slow that people keep getting used to this as the new normal.

IF a few Boeings fall from the sky, people might stop flying Boeings, but people won't stop going to the doctor just because some people get killed from malpractice (which is statistically more likely than dying in a plane crash).
I don't remember exactly where it was at this point unfortunately. When I found it, I was exploring South of i-84, east of Burley, west of where i-84 splits to head south to salt lake (and the northern route becomes i-86 to Pocatello).

On the same excursion I drove through Albion. I was hoping to find a good place to camp in those mountains, as well as a more interesting route south to Utah. I think I was north of Albion, but I'm not certain, and looking at the map, nothing stands out. I wish I had paid closer attention. As insane as it sounds now, at the time I didn't really think a whole lot of the experience. I originally stopped hoping to find a bathroom because of an urgent biological need, and that's when I discovered that the gas station was permanently closed. I checked a couple of buildings looking for a bathroom and that's when I noticed that everything was completely abandoned. At that point my curiosity took over and I started looking around, but I was actually pretty nervous at the time because there was a recent news article that had talked about how squatters were taking up residence in abandoned buildings in southern Idaho. I didn't want to stumble upon somebody who may be very displeased with having been discovered, who might feel the need to physically defend their territory. There were also some "The Hills Have Eyes" type of vibes that did not help any with the comfort lol.
I checked out some pictures and some human hands have only 4 fingers. Did they use the Simpons as training set?
Sounds good, but healthcare already constitutes 17% of US GDP. And with an aging population, spending has been growing faster than the rate of inflation. Most of the funding ultimately comes from governments, self-insured employers, and individual patients. Those groups have no appetite for spending more.

The bottleneck right now in producing more US physicians is lack of Medicare funding for residency slots (graduate medical education). Every year some students graduate from accredited medical schools with an MD but are unable to practice because they don't get matched to a residency program. Congress hasn't significantly increased funding in years.

That's a very good point. I think 12 hour shifts aren't necessarily bad, but even EMTs/firefighters (in some places, afaik) have downtime after their shift. Maybe work one on one off, or maybe 2 on 3 off. I suspect that's still much better than the practice of 24 hour shifts.
It won’t because they can’t verify that you are who you say you are in first place, so to them you’re just a scammer trying to socially engineer them. (Or at least that’s how they should be treating you if they were trained correctly.)
Hey, OP here!

The answer is a bit boring: the expenditure definitely has helped customers - in that, they're using AI generated responses in all their work flows all the time in the app, and barely notice it.

See what I did there? :) I'm mostly serious though - one weird thing about our app is that you might not even know we're using AI, unless we literally tell you in the app.

And I think that's where we're at with AI and LLMs these days, at least for our use case.

This is absolutely hilarious. Prompt engineering is such a mixed bag of crazy stuff that actually works. Reminds me of how they respond better if you put them under some kind of pressure (respond better, or else…).

This assumes a sufficient number of people are capable of _accurately_ assessing what is in their best interest. To some, this might sound as romantic as not believing in lesser-evilism.
Supply and demand. If you artificially cap the supply of doctors, then the doctors can ramp up their prices.
TDB: Simple Tensor and CUDA debugging tool

This cones up from time to time, and you'll get downvoted for saying it (not by me) because it's unfortunately a positively terrible approach.

Firstly, very few people, much less the "common man", understand any issue or the nuances, balances, or consequences of any one decision.

Most (not all) "issues" are much less clear-cut than you might imagine. Even issues that appear to have a high majority get bogged down by detail. "Most" would argue for gun control. Very few ever agree on what that control should look like, or how far should it go.

Simple majority voting on every issue would boil down to populist rhetoric.

For starters, I propose no taxes. Of anything, at any level. I'm pretty sure that would be popular. 49% of people explaining why taxes are necessary would result in the collapse of civilization (I'm not even being hyperbolic.)

Or what about "0% immigration, deport all non-US-citizens". That'd likely pass and next years crop will rot in the fields."

Besides, how do you even get a meaningful vote on issues without "campaigning, speeches, media, etc". Do you expect my mom to have a coherent understanding of whether the intersection of 4th and 2nd should be a stop sign, traffic light, or roundabout. Or whether the F39 7th gen fighter should be made by Lockheed or Boeing?
Not so sure about that. According to a few studies, medical error is the 3rd leading cause of death, behind heart disease and cancer.

Many operations are elective. In such cases, having a tired surgeon or nurse may be worse than delaying the procedure, or even skipping it.

The answers to some problems may be easy to know but difficult to implement, due to political/financial will etc. For eg we know how to reduce emissions, but it's still a challenge. In such cases advocacy and raising awareness can be helpful.
You are a body to the healthcare system. My wife is a hospice nurse and they're happy to grind you into the ground as long as it suits them.
I have often thought teaching, even at advanced levels, is a valid way, for computational AI to upset that applecart. Of course, it will fight back with credential wars!.
It is easy to conceptualise an AI 'teacher' that has the ability to explain in exhaustive detail virtually any academic topic. The system would have a detailed list of what it teaches - a syllabus, that can be provided to each student on an individual basis. The system would assess the student's level by assessing responses to questions it would ask. Items deficient would have remedial loops, so even beginners could be presented with a graduated curriculum, that could start with literacy and vocabulary from even the preschool ages, where the pace would suit the student - even in a gamelike scenario. Younger people with lesser diligence/intellect could progress at individual paces, even pure fun/games modules could be interspersed as needed as even young Isaac Newtons might welcome diversions.
I suspect there might be a high degree of pushback from the established education system, who would oppose this in the same manner that computers were opposed. To be sure, computers and programming was incapable of what we can now do. I hesitate to call it 'AI', I prefer the term 'exhaustive and re-entrant' to characterise such a system. It will have 'seen' all the barriers to understanding from millions of students at all levels - pre-school to post-doc, and it will be able to repeat/recast any topic from many directions to allow the student to master topics of interest to the student as well as curricular items.
I am sure I am not the only one who sees this, so I think education is on the edge of a 'Golden Age'

Thank you for your comment, that's a very good point. I self-replied a bit lower with more discussion on this, primarily to the effect that the "solution" in that case would be to hire more doctors. The concept of a "standby" doctor (like a volunteer firefighter) could be used (more), for eg retired former doctors/nurses.
Yes, Tsinghua is the Harvard of China. It would be weird if Stanford research came up with a breakthrough but the headline merely stated "US". Let's begin to treat Chinese universities as a non-monolith.
So the solution there is transparency.

I'd be much happier if the government regulations gave me information to make an informed decision rather than forced a decision on me.
I don't even think doctors want the cap, tbh. Your average emergency physician would take all the qualified help they can get.
That's a straw man. We do not need "endless doctors" just more (or some way to use them more efficiently).

The number of doctors are limited by the pipeline to educate them.

Most countries I know, the number of people admitted to study medicine exceeds the number people wanting to study medicine vastly exceeds the positions to do so, and admissions are highly competitive. To a point, I'd say, that it is becoming ridiculous.

So, there is not a lack of people wanting to become doctors, but a lack of people allowed to even start to study to become one.
Wow, no phone since 2018? I'm curious how you're able to live in the modern world. I can immediately understand some of the benefits. I myself use a degoogled Pixel 4a and only have a few basic apps installed. However, going completely without a phone must have some significant drawbacks. Care to elaborate a bit more? Do still have a phone number like VoIP?

Solid black is a bit harsh on the eyes. I use a solid mid-blue on both phone and computer screens.

I grew up when computers had to work hard to maintain cute background images on computer screens. If the background image was covered most of the time anyway, why waste scarce hardware resources to maintain it? So I and many others made it a policy to use solid color backgrounds only, never an image.
I think where luck should be considered is possibly around timing but otherwise luck will only get you so far.
I've been through similar transformation (just 250 microservices) and I'm not sure the end result was actually better. Microservices are ok if things go well and you can maintain a large army of developers - which you didn't really need in the first place.

In my case: Fast forward 5 years and the business growth didn't materialize; the board made working in the content unpleasant enough so that all the good and expensive developers left and outsourced the rest to India.
These poor contractors have to deal with 20 microservices per team (while we were juggling 5-10, already to much, I think 1-2 services per team).

The old monolith were fine. Microservices - and transitions to new languages - create a lot of new problems (performance of joins over network, rabbitmq dead letters handling, services ddosing each others, updating a shared library and having to bump it in every service in the entire company)

I feel like it was basically spinning wheels.
I am always torn when I read posts like this. On one hand, I have very mixed feelings about smartphones. It alarms me that we have become so intensely dependent on a device that is so new. I have vivid memories of navigating the world without Google Maps and not feeling constantly tethered to a device.

On the other hand, these posts often feel incredibly precious, like the author has an unbelievable amount of free time to waste. It's similar to the feeling I get when I meet someone with an old-timey handlebar mustache. It's hard not to roll my eyes.
It’s fun to do.

If that's true, then why does the US have higher average and median broadband speeds than pretty much every European country[0]?

The cynic in me says they have bad working conditions since they're public funded: governments, to a large extent, don't want to increase or divert taxes to provide better working conditions since they'd rather give their friends in the private sector a slice of the immovable and highly lucrative pie.

A partly-privatised healthcare system only works when all agree to balance the intangible long-term benefits of universal healthcare with tangible private-sector financial-gain. I don't see this happening when the private sector is seen as the panacea of all social-ills and when universal healthcare isn't seen a means to increase productivity.
To your side note: did you know you can use the iOS keyboards space bar as touch pad control for the text cursor? Just press and hold. That makes positioning the cursor very easy.
Trying to tap where you want the cursor to go is madness - hold the space bar and drive the cursor to where you want it.
Language and terminology evolve over time. It can be uncomfortable and challenging to adapt.

Some new developers might be introduced to the concept initially as "tree-shaking". It's not wrong; it just differs from your preference.
