> What is interesting today is that Republicans campaigned for years on getting rid of Obamacare.

What is perennially interesting is that Republicans (Baby Boomers specifically, in this case) claim to hate "socialized medicine" but every time cuts to Medicare are floated under the guise of "fiscal responsibility" or whatever they're DOA. It's a trite observation at this point they are truly the fuck-you-got-mine generation.

Sadly, one of the only things that _has_ trickled down from their generation is the belief that "socialized medicine" is evil. A maddeningly large percentage of Gen-Xers, Millennials and beyond have fallen for this line of reasoning. The ironic part, in my direct experience, is that a lot of those folks are the ones getting health insurance from the federal/local governments through the military, emergency response positions, sanitation, etc. So, again, got-mine-fuck-yours.

As a counterpoint, I know a number of people in Europe who have been able to take entrepreneurial risks that either aren't realistic or responsible for people in the U.S. who are tied to their jobs for the sake of healthcare, medical/maternity/paternity/etc. leave, etc. One of them recently had a major health crisis that would have devastated an upstart entrepreneur in the U.S. and was actually able to focus on recovering instead of hustling side gigs or taking out predatory loans to ensure he didn't lose his house or his ability to send his kids to daycare. It's been very enlightening to watch play out in real-time.
> The protests aren't antisemitic. I believe that Israel's behavior will increase antisemitism around the world, but antisemitism has been conspicuously absent at the protests. American university campuses simply are not antisemitic places.

The genius here is the extent to which they've managed to so closely link together:

- The IDF

- The Israeli government

- The country of Israel

- The residents of Israel

- The Jewish ethnicity

- Judaism itself

Criticism of one (in a vacuum) has become criticism of all, and therefore antisemitic. So, everything related to any of those topics has become the third rail--you can't touch any of it.

Exactly. Glad to see this. I do think knowledge graphs are important to AI assistants and agents though and someone needs to build a knowledge graph solution for that space.

The idea of actual entities and relationships defined like triples with some schema and appropriately resolved and linked can be useful for querying and building up the right context. It may even be time to start bringing back some ideas from the schema.org back the day to standardize across agents/assistants what entities and actions are represented in data fed to them.

This has already started to happen for manufactured goods.

Mass-manufactured and cheap but low quality goods are extremely available. People also will pay a premium to some local craftsperson who makes artisanal stuff at an extremely noncompetitive price, often with less technical quality in some regard.

The real need is to have trusted brands and harder to game information about those companies, so you can more quickly tell when a company starts submitting to the MBAs and eroding their quality.
> We have found that the USPS is under attack from text scams

The core challenge of phishing attacks is that USPS is not, in fact, the primary victim of these attacks.

The victims are distributed citizens who fall for the scam. USPS doesn't have very many levers available to them to address the attacks (besides a warning on their site, which they have), but also doesn't 'feel' the impact so would have a hard time justifying substantial investment in addressing it.

Ultimately the solution needs to come from regulatory regimes that target fraud, particularly SMS message spam.
The NHS (and many other UK institutions) has been starved of cash for fifteen years by the Tories led by increasingly incompetent PMs (I mean, seriously, if the best PM in the last fifteen years is David Cameron; frankly, a head of lettuce would have done better than most of the Tory caucus).
I like Vega-Lite: https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/

It’s built by folks from the same lab as D3, but designed as “a higher-level visual specification language on top of D3” [https://vega.github.io/vega/about/vega-and-d3/]

My favorite way to prototype a dashboard is to use Streamlit to lay things out and serve it and then use Altair [https://altair-viz.github.io/] to generate the Vega-Lite plots in Python. Then if you need to move to something besides Python to productionize, you can produce the same Vega-Lite definitions using the framework of your choice.
Yes, but this doesn’t seem to be an actual knowledge graph which is part of the issue imho. If you look at the Microsoft knowledge graph paper linked in the repo it looks like they build out a real entity-relationship based knowledge graph rather then storing responses and surface form text directly.

But being able to demand an MRI or the surgeon of your choice when something goes wrong is a real perk, and the one politicians are talking about when they reference public medicine.
I wonder if the more recent misuses (i.e., meaning unimpressed) stem from the extensive use of "+" in marketing. Apple uses "+" and "pro" a lot. Collins dictionary has "nonpro" as word, but not "nonproed" yet. Ripe for disruption.

Commission Designates Apple's iPadOS Under the Digital Markets Act
How, and what happens, the dollar collapses is undetermined and out of my control. I can only position myself for it.

The dollar could simply enter into a semi-permanent state of 15-25% inflation. Permanent until the USD withers away. This my preferred outcome because I actually like this country.

The dollar could collapse to junk status seemingly "overnight". This is very unlikely, but appears to be the course of action preferred by the good folks who are over extending our military position. This will result in wide spread riots.

The end result is probably somewhere in between. Sometime in the future. You might object that Im crazy and that nothing will happen but consider the two guys running for president - one just threatened financial sanctions of China, the other sanctions for any country that doesn't trade with USD.

I've noticed the same too. I was experimenting with Pulumi therefore I had to lookup several times on Google. At first I appreciated that their documentation is based a lot on their LLM, however I started to figure out soon that it was plagued with the same issues with other LLMs, plus it was almost everywhere and no really way to escape it.

I ended up switching to Terraform because the quality of documentation was far superior.
Tbh the public is already overpaying severely with the status quo in terms of constantly paying for emergency services call outs.

Many experts have said that money would be saved by housing people instead of letting people unhealthily sleep outside and then spending money on emergency medical care.

Spending more money on capital projects like housing, if that means a pull back on high operating cost emergency services, then that is more financially sustainable than the status quo.

All I know is that the status quo isn’t solving the problem and spending less isn’t going to work.
"As far as I understand, they are not automatic and must be negotiated in the same way as any other bank loan."

Not in the slightest.

If the bank doesn't take over the deposit in the source bank, then their customer doesn't get paid. At which point they will close their account and move to the source bank. That's a deposit outflow they won't want to have.

Both the source and the destination bank have an interest in ensuring the payment clear. Therefore it does.

Inter bank loan negotiation is about shuffling the risk around for a price afterwards.

"reserves are actually transferred between the two bank"

Reserves don't exist in aggregate. Central banking is a collateral optimisation of correspondent banking.

There was no such thing as reserves in the UK banking system for three hundred years, for example.

Correspondent banking is the base for payments, and is still used for most international currency payments - even with the advent of the CLS central clearing mechanism.
> You will for example find that often managers and executives make a crazy amount of money, but are all but useless, but are only a small part of the bigger company.

They are all but useless, sure, but much, much more valuable people as they hold a scarce property that nobody else working for the company has: Trust. Value is defined by the relative scarcity of something desired.

>>I keep reading about NHS in the UK having issues holding it together

I'm in the UK and yep, the system is on the verge of collapse, but it feels like it's entirely by design so it can be finally privatised and killed off once and for all - it feels inevitable at this point.

Basically right now it works for:

- maternity

- anything child related

- emergency services(to an extent, unless you are literally dying you will still wait hours for an ambulance).

Everything else is so massively underfunded it's a miracle it exists at all.

A friend was referred to see a psychiatrist on the NHS recently - you know what the wait time is to see a psychiatrist on the NHS in our region? 210 weeks. About 4 years.
USPS purchased the usps.com domain a long time ago specifically so they could control it and prevent phishing. The decision to replace usps.gov with the .com domain came later, with the tenure of Trump appointee Louis DeJoy.

Right wingers believe that USPS should operate as a business, not a public service, so "rebranding" their website to be .com is definitely a part of that narrative.

There is an obsession that doctors are special and that no rules can apply to them excpet the ones they write themselves. As someone that has had two relatives die due to medical errors, I stopped drinking the cool-aid of God-complex doctors awhile ago.
I feel that you can't or aren't being serious. We just covered the go to example of a smart person doing the go to example of smart thing advancing advancing humanity's knowledge using intuition and other modes of thought.

No one is saying we shouldn't also have other kinds of intelligence. You just started bashing one kind of intelligence, and provided quite possibly the absolute worst possible example.

Thought, in the general sense, isn't a solved problem or even all that clearly understood yet. We don't yet have a working mathematical model of it and aren't even sure that will be a thing. At present we know of many kinds of intelligence and we can see then work differently on different problems.
Note that there’s a big difference between AI and LLMs. There are plenty reliable techniques (by for example providing confidence estimations) in the AI toolbox. It’s just that LLMs aren’t one of them.

Yeah, one of the specific things I'd love to do is collaboratively bulking up WikiData more. It's missing a ton of low hanging fruit that people using an ML augmented tool could really make some good progress on, similar to ML assisted OpenStreetMapping work

This problem can be largely avoided, for those of us who use a laptop frequently (most of us, I imagine): just leave the laptop layout standard, or lightly modified. I've remapped all of three keys, as a result I can use a stock keyboard with a smallish amount of mental adjustment.

The split key ortho plugged into my monitor, therefore, can be as weird as I want. It's heavily customized and I can do more with it, faster, easier. I do type about 15% faster flat-out with it, but more importantly, I can send λ with little more effort than `l`. But since the laptop has the default layout, I remain "bilingual", two independent muscle memories can be maintained pretty easily if one regularly uses both.

The ortho does have a QWERTY layout for the alphabetic keys, since I don't see the point in changing that, but I don't expect it would make a difference if it didn't.

interesting, why did you loose motivation?

I saw my grandparents go through 10 years of doing all the retirement things(beach, hobbies, social hour etc) to keep them more than busy. Then they kind of did it all and just started having social hour earlier and earlier every year into their 80s. Cocktail our started about 11:30 am in the end.

I'm starting my retirement and have so many interest/subjects I want to learn so feel like I can stay pretty entertained for more than 10 years but maybe not.

"And once the bank's customer withdraws the deposit"

Withdrawing is always just transferring to another bank - even if that bank is the central bank.

Banks settle with each other by the target bank taking over the deposit in the source bank. That is how correspondent banking has worked for at least four hundred years.

Everything else is a collateral optimisation.

There is never any "money" in a vault. There might be some receipts for money, but that's about it.

It is obvious that you cannot undo the past.

It is also obvious that time flows in one direction, that you cannot recover time you have spent on one thing over another.

It is likewise obvious, though strangely difficult for people, especially the young, to grasp, that time spent waffling in FOMO-land is time totally wasted grasping in vain at everything, never attaining anything. "Decision" comes from the Latin "decidere", itself from "de" and "caedere", meaning to "cut off" [0]. Yes, to decide is to cut off, to give up options for the sake of the higher good, in order to proceed.

And lastly, it is equally obvious that obsessing over a past that we imagine that could have been is also a complete waste of time. The clock is ticking, time is running out, and instead of focusing on what can be done now, what can be done with the time left, how to make the best of where you are and what is possible and prudent, you blow away whatever time remains all the more.

Now, if one has indeed made mistakes, the last thing one should do is deny that one has. Denial is opposed to integrity and renders a person impotent, stagnant, and numb, with the worm of guilt gnawing at the soul. Admit it, and if necessary, make reparations, do your penance, obtain absolution. Then move on. Life does not stand still for anyone. Salvage from the wreckage what is good, and go foward. No one said you will be able to recover the life you lost, or thought you lost. Actions are not unitary operations. They have no inverse. Life is an append-only log, a directed acyclic graph. Persisting in attachments to what was ostensibly lost blinds you to what you should do next. Move on. Keep tilling the land for the harvest. Dismiss whatever draws you away and weakens your commitment to the objective good.

This has been the one thing that has kept my iPad useful! I use Blink (grandfathered into their Legacy Pro plan) and it’s a very clean experience.

This is really broadcasting a bad message abroad: the US can't be trusted anymore (it wasn't to be trusted too much in the first place) when it comes to business.

Anyway, using the same logic, I can't wait for the UE to force US companies to sell Windows, iOS, AWS, etc. to European companies so those products can stay within our market.
> Germany in particular takes a moralistic approach to finances that IMO harms the economy quite a bit and constrains entrepreneurship to the well connected and already established. You are only supposed to start businesses that succeed.

It's more pragmatic, than moralistic. Germany aims for high quality in business and workers, the whole system is based around this. USA seems more aiming for quantity. Just throw money at it, and see what sticks. But the difference is, USA is very big and wealthy in resources and manpower, so it can afford this. Germany, like other European countries, is rather small and lives from connecting with others. So efficiency is very important.
I was interested in phreaking when I was a kid. We had those coin-operated phone booths, and at some point, I figured that clicking the receiver hook with my finger was akin to dialing a number, but in this case, you didn't have to pay. Say you wanted to dial 42 - you'd quickly press the hook four times, then wait a couple of seconds, and press it two more times. Fun times.

I remember a situation when my classmate and I were returning from school and I needed to call my parents. I told him, "Now I'll show you how to make a call for free." I started tapping the hook (while he was making fun of me), my mom picked up the phone, and I began talking to her. My friend mocked me, thinking I was talking to thin air, and asked for the receiver. He said, "Hello!", my mom replied... Well, there's no need to go into what happened next :-OOO
