Does anyone know if there is some reason a Chinese manufacturer couldn't just as well setup a manufacturing plant in the U.S.? I mean besides the higher costs of labor in the U.S. compared to Mexico. Like are there U.S. laws in place that limit this? Or Chinese laws? For example, there are many Japanese companies that run automobile plants in the U.S..
I agree. In my opinion, PaperWM and Niri solve this really, really well in my opinion. They don't resize anything-- just arrange everything on an infinite horizontal plane, and you move left / right through your windows.
I believe I am already familiar with the theory of geometric algebras. (Funny you mention this, since the author clearly believes that most textbook authors are not familiar with the theory of geometric algebras, and that they blindly copy each others textbooks without understanding it.)

.. how is _my_ comment flagged, when all but one other comments are just randomly jumping on the title (which has nothing to do with the article btw)? I at least claimed that I've read the first big chunk of the article (before dismissing it), while none of the other comments are about the article or show any sign that they've read the article. (And the other comment dismisses the article too, despite "being a big fan of the author".)

I'm going to assume the 90% number was simply hyperbole. Because it's trivially false in any number of ways;

Firstly many businesses have never heard of A/B testing, much less apply rigorous application of it to proposed changes.

Secondly many businesses have found their niche and don't change anything. There's a reason "that's not how we do it here" is a cliche.

Thirdly a whole slew of businesses are greater changing things all the time. My supermarket can't seem yo help themselves iterating on product placement in the store.

Blaming testing in general, or A/B testing specifically for some companies being unwilling to change, or iterate, seems to be missing the actual problem.

Frankly, with regard yo web sites and software I'd prefer a little -less- change. I just get used to something and whoops, there's a "redesign" so I can learn it all again.

Ah, I had just seen screenshots of the first 2 pages and then saw the title posted here.
I genuinely feel for the people who had to navigate the transition from defined-benefit to defined-contribution. When it happens halfway through your career, you are likely unprepared and haven't saved enough. But for those workers where defined-contribution has been the way their entire lives, they went into it with all eyes open and should have saved sufficiently. Everyone who entered the workforce after, say, 1995 or so, knows that their retirement will be entirely self-funded through savings and investment. It's not a mystery. You don't get to wake up at 75 one day and act surprised that you can't retire yet.
Older workers haven't been paid well enough to retire.

> Fixing healthcare costs will require a lot of people losing their job, and that wont be popular.

Agreed, but I also don't think it _has_ to be this way. First and foremost, a switch to single payer would mean that a lot of the infrastructure that's currently in medical insurance industry would need to shift towards being government employees. While there'd be massive administrative savings with single payer, there wouldn't be zero administration at all.

I'd also posture that the US would never go full single payer, and that there'd be supplemental plans similar to the German model (and Medicare, to be fair), so while private insurers would still exist, the administrative burden would significantly lower.

In the end, you'd still end up with a lot of people losing their job, but it wouldn't be a complete wipe out of the industry. Certain areas would get hit harder than others with the insurance brokers likely getting cut out big time.

> In truth I think about 20% of US workers are involved with the healthcare industry and the surrounding insurance and other supporting industries

That seems pretty high to me. I wonder what made you come up with those numbers.

This brinksmanship of determining if bug spray is a good idea or not is a pretty moronic approach to understanding… anything.

You can do your own research if you want, but your personal opinion is of no importance to anyone and it’s not surprising that someone hasn’t hand delivered you a special report on an issue that most people consider mundane and not important.

If you’re wandering through woods that have equine encephalitis mosquitos and Lyme disease ticks then wear some bug spray. You don’t need the full toxicity report to build your priors that these really serious diseases are much more threatening than these extremely common products. MA has both of these and pretty much everyone here not living in a purely urban environment knows someone that has gotten seriously ill from Lyme. Nobody knows anyone that is seriously ill from bug spray.

If you’re going to be doing this every day, maybe consider putting some effort in, but otherwise just read the bottle. Your priors have to be so wildly distorted from reality for your line of argument here to be sensible.

> I'm speaking as the kind of person who was fine getting Covid vaccine, as soon as I heard doctors in general were giving it to their own families.

Sorry, but that’s a really stupid heuristic that implies your primary concern is that the doctors are lying to you. Paranoia, as I mentioned above.

Uh,
Fines are part of regulation. Fines are what makes regulations stick. Regulation is based on legislation. Of course, it's bad to have Legislation that tries to enforce things that regulators already have the tools to enforce (but aren't using). But broadly, if you want a hammer big enough that a profit-seeking corporation will avoid any tap with it, you want legislation. The usual schemes that imply companies will face costs without regulation being in effect (basically "let the market decide") won't work with individual consumers versus health providers or insurance companies.
What happens here is something called “account updater” that banks and networks use to notify payment providers that the customer has changed their card, and send information about the new card, so Google Pay would then link their token with the new card and the existing subscriptions continue uninterrupted. Likely there should be a way for the customer to opt out of this, but I don’t think there is. I implemented this integration with JPMC once and this all happens automatically via direct integrations between issuer and payment provider.

one thing we're experimenting to help with the hallucinations/error rate issue is using a committee framework where we take a majority vote.

If the error rate of 1 expert is 5%, then for a committee of 10 experts, the probability a majority of the committee errors is around 0.00276% (binomial distribution with p=0.05). For 10 steps, this would be an error rate of 0.0276%

Japan’s national bird (green pheasant) is, IIRC, the only national bird that’s also a game bird. There’s not many stories or symbolism with green pheasants (as opposed to, say, cranes) and it’s mostly known in the country as food.

> Did you put any copyright notices in your work? If not, it may be too late, because they can continue to distribute the old version that did not have copyright notices.

This is not how copyright works. Without a license, default copyright law applies, and no one can make any copy of the code and profit from it, even if published on Github. Copyright protection is automatic under the Berne Convention, implemented by the US Copyright Act and EU Directive 2001/29/EC, meaning no registration or notice is required for protection.
We don’t have it because we aren’t a city state. In Singapore, you have a few choices, but they are all in Singapore. If the public housing system came to the USA without any local residency requirements, everyone would want to live in a few hot cities and the system would just fall apart. Not only that, once residency restrictions are in place, people will be stuck in places due to their public housing, they won’t be able to just move to Seattle for better job opportunities.
What about cryptographic tools distributed by Github in France? Do they have proper declarations? What about Linux distributions containing tools like openssl or pgp? It seems to me that a lot of illegal activity might be happening there.

I don't think this is as clear of a claim as, say, the manufacturing economy of previous generations. Tech creates a lot of speculative value which sometimes turns into something real, but often does not.

>indie devs hiding their source code from corps takeover is the new free software.

High power level take.

The Stallman ethos of Free Software simply hasn't played out the way idealists thought it would. Instead, libraries are standardized by megacorps to farm employees inculcated into their design patterns and get GitHub clout chasers to fix bugs for free.

Open source really needs something like the CC-BY-NC-ND* license. Code is open but you can't profit from it. Unmodified redistribution requires credit. You can modify the code for personal use but you can't redistribute it without permission.

This model at least eliminates the potential maliciousness of a lot of closed-source software while leaving room for indie devs to profit from their work.

I find it reassuring to know said drivers exist at all. I have a Duo, and at some point in the future want to sack off Windows, I've not got around to checking Duo compatibility with Linux.

They're talking about agency. Having control of the hardware they bought. The screenshot sound is just a convenient example.
It sounds like you're looking at it from the perspective of someone who's wealthy enough to take on a few rental properties of their own. The economics start looking rather different from the perspective of a real estate speculation hedge fund. The same forces that make it such easy money for them are also the ones that make it not such easy money for you. When they drive up prices it curtails any more liquid form of asset growth you might have by pulling all the money over to the on-paper value of the property. That's fine for them because real estate is still pretty darn liquid from the perspective of hedge funds and REITs. But it's not very liquid at all from the perspective of a small-time landlord who needs to actually look their tenant in the eye and tell them they're facing eviction because the owner of their home needs to free up some spending money. This, in turn, helps them by creating barriers to entry that push smaller competitors out of the business and securing their place in the oligopoly they're trying to engender.
Do open-source projects on Gihub and Linux distributions, available in France, have proper certification? I doubt it. France should arrest developers and maintainers then. And you definitely can find hacking tools on Github as well.

Guess it depends what you mean by better. Also, in today’s context we have exponentially more complexity thats abstracted away. OS, drivers, user land software, heck even browsers alone.

Given this, I do think we have a lot of glue and duct tape fastening our digital world together.

But some of the low level stuff done today is probably just as good as would be done in the 80’s if not more, given the now easier access to information, and complexity requirements to even participate in low level development being higher.

I imagine a dev from the 80’s (like my professor from college) may be dismally annoyed at the amount of abstractions some languages have.

> An erotic room, designed specifically for intimacy and sensuality, can offer a sanctuary that fosters deeper connections, enhances romance, and provides a retreat from the everyday hustle and bustle.

True. Oddly, I totally blanked on the spelling of the word, like I knew something was up and tried to tweak spell-checker to get it, but I didn’t get it to go.

Anyway, I think I was mostly downvoted for expressing a negative idea than for the spelling error. He does contrast against Game of Thrones quite a bit, though, which I really appreciate. Game of Thrones has a lot of sort of unpleasant aspects that GRRM tries to pass off as realism; and while the past was full of unpleasantness, the voice that says “actually this is a bit over the top and unrealistically grim” is always appreciated.

Maybe that would have been a more well received version of my post… oh well.
This is such a great example of the kind of disruptive impact we can expect from LLMs.

It exposes part of how the health insurance industry works:

"Out of roughly 40 denials, she won more than 90% of her appeals, she estimates"

Most people don't have the stamina to dig in when this happens, so my guess is the entire insurance industry is designed around the assumption that a lot of valid claims won't be paid out.

It's obviously disgusting that the industry has incorrect denials baked into their business model.

If we fix that with LLMs, what happens? It's going to have knock-on effects, since it could eliminate the profit margin these companies have right now.

As I understand it there has been a noticeable dip (~25%) in the last few decades. I don't know if that's a crisis, but it's been theorized to be caused by any number of things, including a less active lifestyle, stress, and endocrine disruptors in the environment. Given the range of possible causes, "Just throw more Testosterone at it" seems like a poor initial solution.
I'm reminded of the Ortolan Bunting, a bird prized in French cuisine and with a most unforgettable method of preparation and consumption.

There isn't actually ( nor was there ever ) a 3 node requirement for k8s.

Etcd requires 3 boxes for HA, but nothing stops you running a single node etcd.

I personally run single master clusters, because if the master goes down, you lose management as opposed to actual service availability, so mostly I don't care.

Now that there's anything wrong with your preference.
Land value tax would fix this in a hurry. Land owners would be incentivized to sell or make more productive use of their land, which adds enough positive pressure for them to go to market and make a deal. The biggest flaw in US housing is the ability to hold out at effectively no cost even as land value skyrockets. The taxation does not keep pace with the actual value. This allows stubborn sellers who want above market sales to hold out, potentially for years, until someone buys at an inflated price, with no real downside.

Combine with upzoning and it would really stimulate the housing market in short order without subsidy.

Land, being largely finite - especially when you start considering how communities make land more valuable etc - shouldn't be treated as a manufactured good. A land value tax is the only way to bring market incentives to real estate, because otherwise there is no pressure on owners to sell or otherwise make more productive use of land. Our current policies from local to state to federal, all incentivize holding land regardless of its utility.
