I am doing it right now in a developing nation.

I settled here on Hispaniola in 2007.

I am working and living right now in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. We’re building up new infrastructure in agriculture, education, and startup incubation. We have already launched a couple of successful ventures.

Here are not the least stable places, but they’re hardly the most stable either. But the rewards are huge for those that can stomach the risks.

Anyone who wants to try this needs to watch and internalise the film “empire of dust” (2013). It’s

Don't sections of regulations reference each other, and reference other regulations? This article says they only insert snippets of the section they believe to be directly relevant to the legal question. It seems to me that this automatically puts the bot in a position where it lacks all the information it needs to construct an informed answer. Or are the laws in some regions drafted in a "stand-alone" way where each section is fully independent by restating everything?

This feels like they've built an ai that justifies itself with shallow quotes instead of a deep understanding of what the law means in context.

Here's a video I did three years ago showing how the small pond is set up. It's probably about 4 feet long (~130 cm) and with a deep spot of about 2 feet (~60 cm) ... if it's too shallow the fish would die, either from racoons getting them in the summer or deep freeze in the winter stopping the pump and possibly freezing the water all the way through.

https://youtu.be/8ExfrhjpMp4?si=dJ1pOaw-zLA-Rvk2

FWIW we are only using tap water (which comes all the way from the Quabbin reservoir in western mass) and rain water. I think at the beginning we used some sort of algae treatment once or twice during the summer but in the past 5 years it hasn't been necessary as long as the pump is creating a bubbling flow and there aren't too many fish, usually no more than 3 or 4 small to medium goldfish/carp varieties ... koi, shibunkin, and comets.

Given that the individual nodes are just x86_64 Xeons and run linux... it would be interesting to part it out for sale as individual, but functional, nodes to people. There are a lot of people would like to have a ~2016 era watercooled 1U server from a supercomputer that was once near the top of the Top500 just to show to people.

Get little commemorative plaques for each one and sell for $200 each or so.

edit:
it seems each motehrboard is a dual CPU board and so there are 4032 nodes, but the nodes are in blades that likely need their rack for power. But I think individual cabinets would be cool to own.

There are 144 nodes per cabinet... so 28 cabinets.
I'd pay a fair amount just to own a cabinet to stick in my garage if I was near there.

The default perspective of a LLM is a centroid of the training data + alignment, roughly. By cueing it to take different perspectives, you can get away from that centroid. By providing a variety of perspectives that sample the space evenly you can get a low bias estimator.

I also use anti-refusal techniques to reduce the impact of alignment, however I'm not instructing the model to take any extreme perspectives so I don't think it's that big of a deal in the first place.
Nine times out of ten it’s because the provider did not document or code it correctly when they billed your insurance.

Of course the insurance companies always get the heat but it’s probably the minimum wage biller at the office that justified the bone set with an incorrect urinary tract infection diagnosis code that will obviously get denied.

In the future it’s useful to call the provider and ask for a copy of what they submitted to your insurance.

I'm not sure I understand the connection you're drawing with human rights.

Officers and men live separately -- have separate dining halls, quarters, clubs, &c -- to some degree even when they're not in camps. This is generally seen to contribute to the ability of officers to maintain order among the enlisted. The separation helps officers to remain coordinated with each other as well as allowing things to be somewhat less personal between officers and enlisted. It may not sound nice to us, outside the military; but it's not something the people writing the convention came up with and it's not something they had it in their power to do anything about. They were trying to bring some order to the treatment of prisoners of war, not reorganize the militaries of the world on egalitarian lines.

So it's not so much about people on the side of the detaining power who "...can only think in hierarchies..." as it is about the social system that prisoners are a part of immediately before they are captured, and respect for that social system, as offering both continuity and a semblance of order for prisoners. A commentary maintained by the ICRC puts it this way:

https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/gciii-1949/ar...

...leaving the hierarchy of the battlefield intact in prisoner-of-war camps serves the interests of both the Detaining Power and the Power on which the prisoners depend. Retaining a functioning command structure among prisoners of war of one Party will usually have a positive effect on camp order and discipline, which can be an important factor in ensuring the best possible conditions of internment for all prisoners of war. Differential treatment involving privileges for higher-ranking prisoners is one way of maintaining this structure.
No time to elaborate at the moment. Just want to say that this is extremely exciting news.

Roc actually doesn't use algebraic effects under the hood, although errors can naturally accumulate in a way that makes the code look more like error handling in algebraic effects systems:

https://www.roc-lang.org/tutorial#task-failure

The implementation detail that makes this error handling possible is that Roc uses anonymous sum types called "tags" (OCaml calls them polymorphic variants) that can accumulate on the fly:

I'd be happy to subscribe to a $10 a month service that acts on my behalf for any denied insurance claims. Their job would be to become the "squeaky wheel".

The insurance companies are banking on most people not having the time, energy, or knowledge on how to push back on them. Having a service provider that can do this will cause those insurance companies untold amount of pain.
Log4j was so unbelievably slow to load data, bloated, and hard to get working on my corporate managed box that I wasn't too sad when it turned out unable to handle my workload. Then the security team asked me why it was phoning home every 30 seconds. Ugh.

I have since found Kuzu Db, which looks foundationally miles ahead. Plus no jvm. But have not yet given it a shot for rough edges. At the time, it was easier just to stay in plain application code.

Hopefully the workload intended by this tool won't notice the bloat. But it would be nice to be able to dump huge loads of data into this knowledge graph as well, and let the GPT generate queries against it.

As I replied to a sibling comment, if a population is being oppressed, we write laws to protect them.
Not much.

Americans use "whom" some, especially in formal writing and/or speech, but colloquially "who" is much more common.

For example, as an American a sentence like "Whom did you invite to the party?" sounds a bit stilted and formal to me.
> With machines and tech, the expectation is that they are accurate (which is not true, but mostly true in the important ways).

I find this an interesting comment with your choice of examples as there is an extensive legal history about false positives (medical conditions, mouthwash, etc.) and the need to show maintenance and calibration records.

I was on a jury back in the 2000s where the San Diego police had to have someone from the crime lab testify about their process for managing their breathalyzers, and we ended up unanimously finding the guy not guilty on that charge because they’d messed up the process and had been a year late on calibration testing despite everyone agreeing he was drunk (based on his own testimony, receipts, and the bar staff, he’d had 3 double vodkas in the hour before getting behind the wheel, so we found him guilty on the other prong of California’s DUI statute - which is exactly what his attorney told us afterwards had been his prediction).
> Safari is just a piece of junk

This hasn't been true for a few years. When I bought my first iPhone a few years ago (the iPhone 12 in 2020), Safari indeed was a piece of junk. But starting the very next iteration cycle (iOS 14 or 15 I think) they fixed almost all the issues I had with it (tons of bugs, including rendering issues on some sites, but also quality of life features, like moving the URL bar at the bottom).

At first I used Safari because there was no other choice, today I use it because it's a decent browser and doesn't drain battery too much. Even if Firefox with Gecko or Chrome with Blink were available, I would stick with Safari.
You don't have a historical or realistic understanding of warfare. The aim of warfare has always -- and will always be -- to break your enemy's will to fight. Sometimes that involves capturing and holding territory, but those are just "implementation details". In WW2 nuclear weapons were dropped on civilians and there was never any desire by the guys dropping those bombs to occupy territory.

I imagine those are dependent on population pyramids not turning upside down. But they seem to be at least flattening, if not turning upside down in all developed countries, hence my prediction of why there would be a change.

You have the math turned around. Because the nuclear resonance is much more stable and high frequency the Q factor and accuracy of the measurement is higher. With a cesium or rubidium clock it's very difficult to control all the influences on how tightly the nominal resonance is achieved and the Q while impressive is a bit less.

There are some real challenges in realization: this will take optical combs and all sorts of other stuff to really take advantage of.
Socialism has never been fully realized, as under communism the surplus and means of production were controlled by the state, not the workers. It was state capitalism.
A co-worker here had a neighbor who broke his leg falling out the back of a pickup truck (doing a job unsafely which seems to be SOP in rural Texas). He never worried about a bill since he didn't have money to pay anyway and I assume the hospital just ate the cost. The system is indeed a joke.
> Think mobile payments. South East Asia has mobile payments with 0% additional fees.

If that's the case, how to the mobile payments companies make money?

> Meanwhile the West is shackled to cards, adding 2-3% for what? Yet stuck with cards for a while due to not starting with mobile.

IIRC, the 2-3% fees aren't due to technology, they're due to regulation and legal agreements. And it's mostly a spat between the merchants and banks, because most cards (in the US, at least) have "rewards" that remit a portion of those fees to the card user (e.g. all my cards pay me at least 1% cash back, and more in certain circumstances depending on the card).

I think there's a lot of cases where you don't want to just RAG it. If you're going for tool assisted, it's pretty neat to have agent write out queries for what it needs against the knowledge graph. There was an article recently about how LLMs are bad at inferring B is A from A is B. You can also do more precise math against it, which is useful for questions even people need to reason out.

I need to dig into what they're doing here more with their approach, but I think using an LLM for both producing and consuming a knowledge graph is pretty nifty, which I wrote up about a year ago here, https://friend.computer/jekyll/update/2023/04/30/wikidata-ll... .

I will say figuring out how to actually add that conversation properly into a large knowledge graph is a bit tricky. ML does seem slightly better at producing an ontology than humans though (look how many times we've had to revise scientific names for creatures or book ordering)

Medical establishments are stupid everywhere. If your employer doesn’t choose an insurer or self-funded benefit administrator like Cigna, you don’t have these issues.

I have had a generous United Healthcare plan for 15 years. That time period included a high risk pregnancy, a spinal fusion, and a high risk cancer treatment program.

I’ve had zero billing issues. Zero. We did have some prescription formulary issues that were a result of some drugs being specialty drugs with a different process.

My sibling has Cigna, and literally has a problem of some sort with 80% of claims. The latest is an 8-year olds ear infection was determined by Cigna’s subrogation process to be related to a car accident.

I partly agree. However, I think - say - Youtube Creator is a career with very limited potential outside of YouTube. But that's because YouTube pays really well compared to its competitors. If YouTube paid worse, then no one would rely on it as a revenue source. It's like spending your life servicing a rich person's Model T Ford. You might be well paid, but your alternatives are no better than mechanic in a garage. That's your choice, and your risk.

That depends on the country. In France it varies by doctor, some will use Doctolib (a great third party private company that does appointment scheduling, video consultations and digital prescriptions) which allows you to have a digital prescription that you click on a button in the app/website to share with a specific pharmacy, and when you get there they just get your social security card and... then print out your prescription, and scan and print on it how and when was it fulfilled. Others just give you an old fashioned hand written note, or print an A4 sheet of paper.

Hey All,

I made Peezer.io mostly for fun since me and my friends are always searching for the most ridiculous things to compete in. Also, urinating is something we all need to do every day anyway so why not make it a little bit interesting?

The website is pretty simple. It lets you record audio of your urination stream and programmatically calculates the duration of your longest continuous pee stream. The results are stored in local storage and displayed in a list and/or on duration over time graph. There is an option to share results via WhatsApp, Viber, and Telegram.
While it's inevitable that if China continues on its current trajectory, it'll eventually become the second nation to put people on the Moon on the back of its own tech, it still doesn't feel like their efforts are as heavily directed towards that goal yet. Even the US's poorly funded (besides SLS) and half-hearted (from Congress) Artemis program feels like an urgent rush to the Moon in comparison.

I wonder if these impressions are different for those less isolated from Chinese spaceflight efforts?
There's a PA at my general practitioner's office who's got to be about 80; it seems like a lot of healthcare jobs can be done into old age. I think about going the PA route after my next layoff actually because it seems like a job that could be a better fit for me.
