> I did not find sufficient information in the article to determine if this was a management problem or a personnel issue.

It’s a management problem: she was there for 15 years and had a non-entry level position. Whatever she reported was deliberately created by Cigna’s policies – if not, they would have corrected those policies the first time she reported the problem.

You can see the same pattern with the claim about being unaware of “click to close” or the refusal to clarify when their excuse about the dashboards being misunderstood was challenged. If this wasn’t intentional, someone would correct it the first time they saw patients being denied treatment and they’d easily be able to show, for example, employee training & review policies showing the opposite. We’re not talking about McDonald’s here, it would be very uncontroversial to have a policy that their medical doctors need time to get the best outcome for the patient – if that was actually their goal.
I can understand why they make it hard for you and others to add that functionality (and why others want it). It’s the #1 reason I pull up the app
If you have to ask, you shouldn't install it. This is entirely in keeping with the philosophy of 9front.
As I answered below:

If you want to see a country that has been old before it truly became rich, just take a look at Thailand.

They are a large country with a below replacement TFR for decades, a high median age, and a relatively low median household income ($7k/yr) yet they have not collapsed.

Most of this is because of social welfare - most high revenue industries are very highly skilled and this require a small skilled or semi-skilled workforce.

Think industries like Automotive, Semiconductors, ONG Refining, Finance, etc - this is the Thai economy (tourism is actually a relatively small portion compared to those).

Deploying tax money generated from those industries into social welfare such as expanded healthcare, expanded social services, etc helps minimize a lot of the issues at hand.

China has been concentrating on building some form of a social safety net as well in a manner similar to TH, but it's at an earlier stage, but tbf, TH hit the same issues China did today in the early 2000s.
GPT-4 also cannot solve full programming problems, and frequently makes large errors even with a small focused context, as in Github Copilot Chat.

However, it is still extremely useful and productivity enhancing. When combined with the right workflow and UI. Programming is large enough of an industry, that has Microsoft building it out in VScode. I don't think the legal industry has a similar tool.

Also, I think programmers are far more sensitive to radical changes. They see the constant leaps in performance, and are jumping in to use the AI tools, because they know what could be coming next with GPT-5. Lawyers are generally risk averse, not prone to hype, so far less eager customers for these new tools.
I didn't create a false dichotomy, you are doing the same thing as the article. You are setting absolutely no threshold for speed, except to "side with the docs" That implies your upper limit has no bounds either.

I am not on either side, but this God worship of doctors in America is sickening.
Almost 20 years ago I helped my mom make a hole for a deep pond in her backyard—a previous occupant had a concrete shallow pond, and her attempts to add goldfish only resulted in turning it into a buffet for the raccoons. The deeper one just needed pond liner and a pump, and it was good to go. Now the only thing that can get to the goldfish is an occasional heron, which is far more enchanting than raccoons. Also the gulf coast toads make for a wonderful spring/early summer soundtrack.

> Most people buy a new phone every few years as it is

Yep, which is unlikely to coincide with the latest screwover from their platform of choice, giving them much less motivation to switch at that time. But you're right, the expense only prevents some people from switching.

> app passwords are the same between platforms

Until they're not. Heck, I've encountered apps that didn't support any way of transferring your progress across platforms, although the example I can think of (Clash of Clans, or maybe Clash Royale) fixed that many years ago. But there's still plenty of instances where I needed to add another login method to my account because some methods just weren't supported on the other platform.

Meanwhile if you keep using the same platform odds are you'll just be logged in because it will either be in iCloud or your Google account.

> the average user only uses about a half dozen apps

I doubt that very much. I guess maybe the average user is old people who still only use their phone for calling, texting, and maybe directions? Yeah you're right it doesn't affect them too much. Other than remembering to turn off iMessage if they switch away from Apple.

Get real.
Sleepsort is like a hash-based sort using sleep(x) instead of a hash function h(x).

You can see more here: https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~siff/CS367/Notes/sorting.html

The function h(x) places the item ordered directly into a table, instead of waiting x timesteps.

The optimal choice of h(x), x ∈ X, is a bounded monotonic function that inverts the distribution of X, so that h(x) is uniformly distributed. It preserves the order and spreads h(x) evenly in the hash-space.

NVD delays highlight vulnerability management woes: Put malware first
There's so much missing in this article.

* No more public access. Twitter used to be a place to share and get info out, but now a lot of people won't be able to browse & enjoy a link you send them.

* Absurd rate limits. People can't seem to stay on Twitter like they used to, because rate limits kick in very fast.

* Many interesting accounts & bots shut down after API limits started being applied. Doing something interesting in Twitter used to be free. Now it's many thousands of dollars.

* One of the worst things, the signal to noise ratio has gone to hell. Blue-checks are paid for, and get higher ranked. People happy to pay for & advertise bluechecks tend to be Musk fans, with strong anarcho-capitalist/libertarian views and/or edgelordy. Good/upvoted content is buried beneath sludge. The problem got so bad that Twitter started giving people bluechecks whether they wanted it or not and forced it on, removed the ability to hide/disable, just to make bluechecks not look so consistently terrible.

* The hate speech happening is burning bridges. People keep acting like, oh, nazi shit showing up next to an ad is a rare mistake, but advertisers don't want to be two posts away from nazi shit, they don't want to be near it at all. Rather than sympathize with the ad buyers, Musk shit talks and threatens them & goes off about "censorship".

* Twitter ("X") isn't getting any better and all the excitement being drummed up isn't for Twitter getting better; X's vision is to become something else, a video service, a banking service. Whether that's what core users want or are interested in or not seems dubious. There's no signs an infection point comes where Twitter can go back to being good, to being open & democratic & the place; everything seems on track to just be pointlessly recast & the past blown up.
I don't really think that's the problem. Not at all.

The problem is that USPS is an easy mass attack target since nearly 100% of people get mail.

If you want to phish people, you need to cast a wide net, and this one is the widest possible one.

It's totally Google's fault. The original PageRank algorithm was more resistant to low quality content - it was fundamentally about a reputation web of trust.

As Google shifted from valuing high quality sources referring to you to other signals, it became more gameable.

Note that the "high quality" part matters - it's harder to game getting, say, a link from real humans at a high quality place than it is to generate yet another SEO blogspam website with 10,000 backlinks from other SEO blogspam.
Don’t worry, your dreamy dystopian nightmare is well on the way.

I agree that there is not one community. The community is split in factions. One faction likes to talk about themselves as "the community", but in practise they only speak for themselves. Since there is no elected leader, it is all informal and anarchic.

I saw this message recently and it left me seriously confused. I was in London for about a week with my twelve year old.

For myself, I just swipe my mobile and I am done. For my child tried:

- Registering in the TfL mobile app doesn't work for children

- An Oyster Card for children should exist but we were told to get a paper ticket instead - at multiple TfL counters.

- Tried to swipe twice, for my child and myself. Did not work - unsurprisingly.

- Trying to get a paper ticket for a child leads to the mentioned pop-up, which says: "It's cheaper to use contactless [..] at adult rate [..]". What is that supposed to mean when trying to buy a ticket for a child? Is the contactless adult rate still cheaper than a paper child ticket? If not, then why am I seeing this pop-up?

So for our next visit: What is the proper way to travel with a 12 year old child as a tourist?
Then let's explore for the riches that could be (are) there? If that's the motivation some people need, so be it. We're undoubtably in a better place as a society now than we were in the 1200s so it stands to reason that exploring the solar system and beyond would stand to put us in a better position come 3200 or 4200 than if we simply languish here.
Lawyers can also be held professionally liable if they get things wrong.
This is entirely wrong. My household income exceeds $300,000. My wife is a physician. It takes months to get an appointment with an ENT or dermatologist. In Germany, despite not being a citizen or having travel insurance I got an appointment with a dermatologist in 1 day. The cost was around 40 euros. These are anecdotes but they are just as valid as, “you should be able to virtually walk into..” statements.

It was fear of socialism that caused the outrage at Clinton’s healthcare proposals. The fear and outrage was so great that for the first time in decades Republicans took control of the House of Representatives in 1994. Look up the number of times things being labeled communism and socialism has been used to try to halt legislation.
Yup; this is an extremely silly thing to say.

First of all, people have arrow keys muscle memory from all other programs. Saying "dump it" is as obnoxious as it is stupid; it only makes enemies and gives a false impression of Vim's power.

Secondly, the mouse provides the fastest method of random access on the screen; even things like EasyMotion only barely reach mouse speed. Such nonsense gives the idea that Vim "should not" be used with a mouse, which again misrepresents Vim.
There's so much ancillary work around medical care. Like 20% of US workers are in some supporting industry. Insurance companies pay a bunch of people to find reasons to deny claims, hospitals pay a bunch of people to fight the insurance companies. They all ultimately get paid by my medical bills and premiums.

In my mind's eye is a political-style poster depicting the patriotic duty it is to pay your medical bill. Insurance company takes a cut, people who fight insurance companies take a cut, CEOs take a cut, everyone takes a cut, my medical bill is keeping half the nation afloat it seems, until at the end there's even a few dollars left over for the doctor. All because I spent 5 minutes talking to a doctor about an ear ache.

Fixing this will require eliminating a lot of these ancillary jobs and it won't be popular among those groups.
Money is the oil in the engine not the petrol.

There isn't and never has been a one-to-one relationship between money and stuff. At best it is inductive.

Just as with electrical engineering, the real world requires a reactive supply, which is what allows electrical innovation beyond direct resistive loads.

Electrical supply engineers hate reactive power, but without it we don't get iPhones.

The power triangle gives the best engineering analogy to the way the monetary system works.
> For the first time, it has been possible to use a laser to transfer an atomic nucleus into a state of higher energy and then precisely track its return to its original state.

We've known about photon-atom interactions for well over 100 years, with excitation of electrons which are either released or drop back to the original orbit, right?

So, ok, the Nucleus is smaller and the energies to alter the quantum state are probably higher, but - why is this so special, and why Thorium in particular rather than any old nuclei?

Yes, I learned (mostly from female teachers) that "he" should be interpreted as gender-neutral if the gender of a singular subject was unknown, e.g. "A writer should always consider his audience" did not imply that only males are writers. It would be nice if people could charitably assume that, but I understand that it can be problematic.

I think the author just lives in a bubble, period. The example of the Chinese credit industry is a stretch at best. UnionPay has been around for at least a couple decades, China is far from having "totally skipped" traditional credit cards.
Many US government sites now have a clear banner at the top with a US flag and statement declaring "An official website of the United States Government." Some go further and include a link to expose an explanation for "here's how you know" that includes the statement "Official websites use .gov"

None of this appears on www.usps.com. www.usps.gov redirects to www.usps.com. Bare usps.gov does not (goes nowhere)

I wonder how much the phishing would decrease if the USPS website was served on usps.gov with the "an official website" and "how you know" seen on other official US gov't sites.

The Cheyenne numbers are 5.34 petaflops of *FP64*.

The 5.6PF you quote for 18 A100's would be in BF16. Not comparable.

The A100 can only do 9.746 TFLOPS in FP64.

So you would need 548 A100's to match the FP64 performance of the Cheyenne.
I'm surprised Gemini 1.5 isn't getting more attention. Despite being marginally worse than the leaders, its still solid and you can dump 975,000 (!) tokens into it and still have ~75,000 to play with.

I've been using it lately for microcontoller coding, and I can just dump the whole 500 page MCU reference manual into it before starting, and it gives tailored code for the specific MCU I am using. Total game changer.
Give me 50 mill and I'll do it. I'm not even kidding, I have multiple targets and a viable plan. And yes I'm aware of the list of things you listed and roughly what it takes to do all of them. Sure for a layman or an unfunded expert it might be daunting. But thats what these companies spend hundreds of billions at. Just listing out the complexity of the process says nothing about why they still don't succeed at it. I'm pretty sure boeing would have and continue to list all the problems in sending a rocket to space for cheap, while spacex continues doing that. Nothing different here.

Surveilr: A Powerful Tool for Resource Surveillance
Hey everyone,

I'm excited to share a tool I recently came across that could be a game-changer for developers involved in resource monitoring and data management. It's called Surveilr and is designed to help you monitor your machine resources, particularly file systems.

What is Surveilr?
Surveilr is an extendable file system inspector built to survey and log various machine resources. It walks through resources like file systems and compiles all the gathered data into an SQLite database. This database is known as the Resource Surveillance State Database (RSSD).

Key Features of Surveilr:
Resource Mapping: Surveilr can navigate through complex file system structures, making it easy to capture a comprehensive snapshot of the current state of your resources.

SQLite Database Generation: All the data collected is stored in an SQLite database (RSSD), which is highly portable and compatible with numerous environments and tools.

Flexibility: Once the RSSD is created, Surveilr’s job is essentially done. The database can then be utilized by any application, tool, or service that supports SQLite, or even ETL’d into a larger data warehouse for more complex analytics.

Use Cases:
Development & Testing: Developers can use Surveilr to monitor changes in file system states during different development phases, which can be crucial for debugging and verification.

Security: It’s a useful tool for security auditing, allowing administrators to regularly check the integrity of file systems and spot any unauthorized changes.

Data Analytics: Data engineers can integrate RSSD outputs into larger data pipelines, providing a rich source of information for operational intelligence and analytics.

Getting Started:
Surveilr is relatively straightforward to set up and use, making it accessible even for those who might not be deeply familiar with resource monitoring tools.

For anyone looking to enhance their resource monitoring capabilities, Surveilr offers a robust and flexible solution. I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences if you decide to give it a try. Has anyone here used Surveilr or a similar tool before? What was your experience like?

Looking forward to your insights and discussions!

Cheers!

> as an American a sentence like "Whom did you invite to the party?" sounds a bit stilted and formal to me

It would be fair to call this ungrammatical in American English.

But whom does survive in fronted prepositional phrases ("the person for whom this item was obtained..."). It's dead in prepositional phrases that haven't been fronted just like it's dead everywhere else.

Something vaguely similar happened in Spanish, where there is a special pronoun case that can only be used with the preposition con ("with"). There, the special case descends from, interestingly enough, the same preposition, Latin cum, instead of from the Latin case system. But the phenomenon ends up being the same.

What happens in an evolutionary algorithm depends on what you write it for. This is a fun toy, but what it does specifically is explore a very limited simulation of evolution by natural selection. Metaheuristics aimed at optimization have a lot of techniques aimed at not stalling out on a prematurely converged design, as well as improving other desirable properties of the population, at the expense of any pretense of fidelity to real-world evolution processes.
