My son got his first official letter when we was about two weeks old. It was a bill from the hospital for his birth: $8,000. He was directly charged on that bill, not us parents.

And that was on top of the $24,000 bill that we had received from hospital. So $32,000 for a no-frills (from a medical viewpoint) birth and that was many years ago.

The health insurance paid 100% of both bills, so we ended up not following up.

I don't understand how it isn't fraud. I looked at an ambulance bill for my mom the other day:

$1798 total

-$388 Medicare paid

-$1324 Service adjustment

$86 Amount you owe.

I don't think dumb is sufficient to explain this. It's pretty easy for me to see how someone leaps from this de facto legal system to outright fraud, because the line between them is pretty thin.
Recently some parts of a Crew Dragon landed in western North Carolina. The largest piece found so far is about the size of a car hood (~2.3 square meters) (insert joke about strange American measurement units here), and appears to mostly be carbon fiber.

https://www.space.com/nasa-confirms-debris-spacex-crew-drago...

Which sent me on a path to find out if carbon fiber is magnetic, and it appears to depend on the weave, the angle relative to the field, the strength of the field (naturally), and whether the magnetic field is static or alternating, and at what frequency.

The FAA does not run airport security.

The FAA administers aviation, an actual necessary and valuable endeavor. The theatrical display you are subjected to in airports is overseen by DHS as justification for their continued existence as a jobs program. It has nothing to do with aviation.

But yes, the FBI would be happy to have fugitives be caught at an airport checkpoint, although I doubt they’d risk relying on DHS to do it.

For me, the breaking point was when I saw the C++ bindings unironically recommend [1] that you use terrible anti-patterns such as "delete this". I find it unlikely that all these incredibly well paid Google engineers are unaware how people avoid these anti-patterns in idiomatic C++ (by e.g. std::shared_ptr). The only remaining sensible explanation is that Google internal gRPC C++ tooling must have utilities that abstract away this ugly underbelly, which us mere mortals are not privy to.

> Obviously, not everyone who writes code needs a development license

That's actually a very likely outcome. The startling statistic is that roughly half of professions require occupational licensing. In some places, you need licensing to become a florist. In several states, being an interior designer or a gas pump attendant requires a permit. Software engineering is an absolute outlier as far as highly-paid jobs go.

I don't think this is right, but that's the world we're living in and we should stop fooling ourselves. There's a lot of SWEs who are talking about wanting some helpful, laser-focused regulation. Well, it's coming wholesale, and a fruit joke website is not going to be exempt.
My reading of the article is that the author doesn't think that picking the dystopian view of what food will become from a well known sci-fi movie and trying to make that into product is the best thing for humanity.

The richness of the human experience is found in variety. The moment we give that up we lose something. Experiencing food in all its many forms is one of the joys of life.

Similary, I love curated lists of songs and movies from other people the push me outside of the realm of what I seek out on my own.

Moveover, other people notice things about you and adjust their suggestions according to your emotional state. Down and depressed?

Both edits are for clarity and don't change the meaning of the comments... and both edits are not in our comment chain. You seem to have another agenda here and I really won't entertain it anymore. We have different views of what force means. One is rather clear and the other one is nitpicking to get an agenda across. Nobody forced anyone to get vaccinated and nobody forced anyone to blindly trust medical professionals. There are billions of people who didn't get vaccinated. You might want it to be but it's not the reality we live in.

“Gluten free” is a little different because gluten is a protein not only found in wheat, but also wheat derivatives like spelt, semolina, graham, and other grains like barley, rye, and malt.

This is different from a wheat allergy, in fact, its also not an “allergen” in the same way that peanuts are (digestive problems vs anaphylaxis), and would probably be better classified as an intolerance similar to lactose (which is covered by milk but is also an indirect indicator of lactose that can be a false positive because lactose free milk exists).
Ask HN: How to cache NFS files across K8s pods on the same node?
I'm using KEDA to schedule jobs on EKS. We store model files on EFS, but if we have 100 jobs they need to read in the same model files 100 times. The nodes themselves have ample disk space and should be able to hold a cache of EFS (files should be considered immutable).

In my case EFS is mounted as a plain NFS drive. Cachefilesd should work but I'd be using a custom AMI at that point. Not terrible. Is there a standard solution here?
Suggesting scratch-made noodles as a reasonable alternative to instant noodles demonstrates an astonishing lack of understanding of the reason people eat instant noodles, not to mention the lack of reasoning it would take to deduce that people drawn to a product labeled "instant" are probably looking for something relatively quick.
proto2 required fields were basically unusable for some technical reason I forget, to the point where they're banned where I work, so you had to make everything optional, when in many cases it was unnecessary. Leading to a lot of null vs 0 mistakes.

Proto3 made primitives all non-optional, default 0. But messages were all still optional, so you could always wrap primitives that really needed to be optional. Then they added optionals for primitives too recently, implemented internally as wrapper messages, which imo was long overdue.

I think Homebrew is the best solution for shipping open source Mac apps if you don't want to pay the developer fee or jump through any hurdles, assuming your users are technical enough to use it.

The alternative is not signing your binaries and explaining to users that they can run them by right clicking and selecting "Open" from the menu.
Much of Linux's weirdness can be attributed to that as well -- at least the userland API.
> According to the report, a total of 5,300 SAP employees have applied for the programs. That would be more than 20 percent of the Group's entire German workforce. However, only 3200 of these employees are said to be over 55 years old and therefore eligible for early retirement.

Isn't there some concern that they're letting go of a lot of knowledge with these older employees? Tribal knowledge isn't a problem that effects them?

The more cynical side of me thinks that it's going to be quite a mess for those who remain.
The market will determine this based on supply and demand. Look around and see what the median pay rates are for your market.

Pay is sometimes correlated with difficulty and complexity of the task. So high difficulty will often lower the supply of people willing/able to handle the task.

Occasionally, the domain will matter more. More people want to work in gaming, and fewer want to manage systems out on an offshore rig.

I'm not sure how I feel about this all.

The problem with the cancer-causing substance labels is some companies are saying their products contain cancer-causing substances when they clearly do not. At this point the label almost doesn't mean anything anymore because you can't tell if they're just putting it on there to prevent lawsuits, or because it actually does. So I could see a regulatory agency issuing fines for false labeling. It dilutes the meaning of the labeling.

On the other hand, if there is a company where some contaminants might be present, and they don't want to bother selling their products to people with allergens, I can see why they might be honest and say something like "this product may contain X" or "this product was manufactured in a facility where X is sometimes present". It's sloppy in terms of allergen cross-contamination but I can respect their decision to be sloppy and honest.

The tricky part is when one morphs into the other, or where you draw the line.

As an exercise, consider a company that just prints on its ingredients label "this product may contain..." and then just lists all the ingredients of all the products they make, or might be in the facility. That too would be abusing ingredients labels but would in fact technically be true. At some point someone has to call nonsense and where that is I'm not sure.
" Upon repeated exposure the severity of the reaction may increase." (https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseas...)

"After primary sensitization, the allergic immune response is boosted with repeated exposure" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4414527/)

Lots of other things can effect sensitivity/severity too including age, stress, hormones, etc.

That's why if you're going to try to increase your tolerance to something you're allergic to through exposure it should always be done under the care of a doctor who will explain the risks, including the risk that your allergy becomes worse and your sensitivity to it higher. If the exposure isn't being done under observation you'll likely be given an epi pen. Desensitization therapy can help some people, but because of the risks it's often done for people who already have severe reactions and it can require a potentially lifelong commitment to taking some daily amount of the allergen in order to keep the benefits. It's not for everyone, but I wouldn't tell someone not to at least look into it with their doctor, especially with foods that are very hard to avoid.
> The States in turn delegate certain powers to the Federal government at the pleasure of the States.

This is blatantly false. The constitution explicitly states that that it draws its power directly from the people “we the people” in the preamble. From the the supremacy clause explicitly states that the constitution is the fundamental law of the land, and that the heiarchy from there is federal law, treaties and then state law. The caveat being that the federal government is delegated limited, enumerated powers by the constitution.
As someone whose parents were Bay Area workaholics and was left to teach myself, was yelled at for asking questions and not knowing how to do it, and physically punished if homework wasn't done by the time they came home, 1 on 1 discussion would have been incredibly helpful and probably life changing in more areas than just math (homework instilling fear doesn't translate to dealing well with tasks later in life).

I can't imagine how nice it would have been not to have to hide out of fear that I was having problems figuring out calculus on my own.
It's happening to a lot of large companies in general. Being gutted for short term profits, less care on providing good products/services and more on acquiring competition to foster growth while looking for "inefficiencies".

Corporate consolidation, and a massive focus on finance create these abnormalities. Another pretty good example of that phenomenon on a different industry is Disney.

Well, parent is lamenting the lack of lowerbound/upperbound for "hallucinations", something that cannot realistically exist as "hallucinations" don't exist. LLMs aren't fact-outputting machines, so when it outputs something a human would consider "wrong" like "the sky is purple", it isn't true/false/correct/incorrect/hallucination/fact, it's just the most probable character after the next.

That's why it isn't useful to ask "but how much it hallucinates?" when in reality what you're out after is something more like "does it only output facts?". Which, if it did, LLMs would be a lot less useful.
If you've been around the valley long enough to hear pitches, you've surely met some remarkable bullshitters who can convincingly describe with clarity and crispness something that is actually nonsense and simply is not real.

LLMs model their corpus, which for most models tends to be factually correct text (or subjective text with no factuality). Sure, there exist factually incorrect statements in the corpus, but for the vast majority of incorrect statements there exist many more equivalent but correct statements. If an LLM makes a statement that is not supported by the training data (either because it doesn't exist or because the equivalent correct statement is more strongly supported), I think that's an issue with the implementation of the model. I don't think it's an intrinsic feature/flaw in what the model is modeling.

Hallucination might not be the best word, but I don't think it's a bad word. If a weather model predicted a storm when there isn't a cloud in the sky, I wouldn't have a problem with saying "the weather model had a hallucination." 50 years ago, weather models made incorrect predictions quite frequently. That's not because they weren't modeling correct weather, it's because we simply didn't yet have good models and clean data.

Fundamentally, we could fix most LLM hallucinations with better model implementations and cleaner data. In the future we will probably be able to model factuality outside of the context of human language, and that will probably be the ultimate solution for correctness in AI, but I don't think that's a fundamental requirement.

The problem is the phrase “suitable for shell pipelines”. If you are in a shell, you should not be doing anything like this. You should use a glob directly in the shell. You should not be calling an external program, having that program print out something, and then parsing it. Just use a glob right there in your shell script. If you do anything else, you are doing it wrong.

Prop 65 DOES contain teeth, of the worst possible kind. It works by an attorney finding a product without a Prop 65 label. Then the law firm sends a demand to the state that the product have the Prop 65 label. If the state does not take action, then the law firm may take private action by suing the company to force them to have the label, and get all of their legal expenses paid for by the state. It's lead to an entire industry of attorneys suing just to get the attorneys fees.
And, if all the big companies only make things with allergens, then a market appears for allergen free products that some company will see an opportunity and fill.
