All of the above, and they're linked together. Communism requires centralization of decision making, which creates huge bottlenecks, stunts growth, and also becomes a single point of failure that a corrupt leader can easily takeover.

The only reason communism keeps re-emerging is because it takes advantage of people's empathy, promising that it can directly address the needs of the many.

You're in agreement you just misunderstood. He's saying, to paraphrase, that the conspiracy theories keep eventually showing to be true, it's not a good look for the left that they keep demonstrating how the slippery slope is real, etc.

Conservative people were calling this abhorrent, that people will be euthanized by their aptly named health care system due to lack of aptly named welfare, killed to maintain cost efficiency, and were dismissed as religious loons who want to restrict the right to bodily autonomy because suicide is a sin by scaremongering. Hence fever dream. Well now, that fever dream is proven to be a reality and we risk losing the principle of bodily autonomy in the public consciousness as the public learns that doctors are offing people because they're homeless.
Our non-Tesla has steering assist. In my 500 miles of driving before I found the buried setting that let me completely disable it, the active safety systems never made it more than 10-20 miles without attempting to actively steer the car left-of-center or into another vehicle, even when it was "turned off" via the steering wheel controls.

When it was turned on according to the dashboard UI, things were even worse. It'd disengage less than every ten miles. However, there wasn't an alarm when it disengaged, just a tiny gray blinking icon on the dash. A second or so after the blinking, it'd beep once and then pull crap like attempt a sharp left on an exit ramp that curved to the right.

I can't imagine this model kills fewer people per mile than Tesla FSD.

History is a great reference, but it doesn't solve our problems now. Just because hydro has prevented more CO2 until now doesn't mean that plus solar are the combination that delivers abundant, clean energy. There are power storage challenges and storage mechanisms aren't carbon neutral. Even if we assume that nuclear, wind, and solar (without storage) all have the same carbon footprint - I believe nuclear is less that solar pretty much equivalent to wind - you have to add the storage mechanisms for scenarios where there's no wind, sun, or water.

All of the above are significantly better than burning gas or coal - but nuclear is the clear winner from an CO2 and general availability perspective.

What? Humans are excellent drivers. Humans go ~70 years between injury-causing accidents and ~5,000 years between fatal accidents even if we count the drunk drivers. If you started driving when the Pyramids were still new, you would still have half a millennium until you reach the expected value between fatalities.

The only people pumping the line that human drivers are bad are the people trying to sell a dream that they can make a self-driving car in a weekend, or "next year", if you just give them a pile of money and ignore all the red flags and warning signs that they are clueless. The problem is shockingly hard and underestimating it is the first step to failure. Reckless development will not get you there safely with known technology.

When talking to my parents, I hear a lot about Jane Fonda and the China Syndrome as far as the fears of nuclear power.

She's made the same baseless argument for a long time: "Nuclear power is slow, expensive — and wildly dangerous"

https://ourworldindata.org/nuclear-energy#:~:text=The%20key%....

CO2 issues aside, it's just outright safer than all forms of coal and gas and about as safe as solar and wind, all three of which are a bit safer than hydro (still very safe).
Saying something is "reality" doesn't make it so.
Each version has improved. FSD is realistically the hardest thing humanity as ever tried to do. It involves an enormous amount of manpower, compute power and human discoveries, and has to work right in billions of scenarios.

All of the working definitions beg the question in some form or another. And then there's stuff like this[1].

> If you can get from deism, based on an argument about order, to belief in Jesus coming back to life and emitting radiation in the process, by a chain of reasoning, then more power to you.

I can't, and I don't think any reasonable person claims that you can. My view of Christianity is that it is, basically, Greek philosophical monotheism (I'd quibble over "deism," preferring something like "philosophical monism," but it's just a quibble) with some vestigial Hebrew trappings plus historical claims based on testimonial evidence. The resurrection falls squarely in the historical claims area. It's hard to overstate the influence of Greek culture and philosophy on the Mediterranean at the time of Jesus' ministry.

> and so the very first thing that will happen in the investigation will be looking at the code with the assert

And the very next thing that will happen is me swearing up and down that I wished I captured more context at the point of error so I could understand the corner case much more easily.

assert, on failure, should dump as much function and stack context as it possibly can generate; and possibly, a string tag for _user_ convenience in reporting on and differentiating for themselves the specific error condition.

mainframes are great for this. You get a custom tagged error message that conveys the subsystem, error level, and error number along with a text error string. This makes cataloging and classifying errors automatic for everyone who sees and conveys them. Then you can use the system record store to go get the context information generated at the site of the error itself and build a much clearer idea of why the particular operation failed.
Not that perfectly. You still have the question of how to represent the one-time header data.

Sounds like zero-sized types in Rust, where it is used as marker types (eg. this struct own this lifetime). It also can be used to turn a HashMap into a HashSet by storing zero sized value. In Go a struct member of [0]func() (an array of function, with exactly 0 members) is used to make a type uncomparable as func() cannot be compared.
Here in Argentina children get during the first year like 2 vaccine injections every two month. (Sometimes it's 3, sometimes it's 1, I don't remember.) Most of them are combined vaccines against 2 or 3 illness. (Again, some injections are against only one, I think there is one that combines 5, ...) So in total during the first year they get like 25 or 30 vaccines.

After the first year, the vaccination rates decrece, so let's double that to 50 or 60 vaccines during childhood.

As I said, many of them are combined, and may are repeated. We had a small melease outbreak and they got 1 or 2 extra MRR dosis on top of the 2 or 3 usual doses. I think polio has 5 dosis, we used to combine the IPV and the OPV, but now we use only the IPV.

I don't expect our vaccination list to be very usual. I guess we mostly copied from the standard of the WHO and I expect other countries to have a similar one. We are adding dengue now for teenagers, so there may be some customization.

So, my recommendation is to ignore ChatGPT and ask Doktor Joe Rogan for the list of the other 50 dangerous diseases. My guess is that the difference disappears when it's possible to compare both lists side by side.

One reason I like assert strings is that they can assist bug triage in a large organization, assuming that (as in my environment) the string is available outside of the core/kernel dump, probably in the kernel ring buffer/logs. Often, keying off of line number won't work across different branches, maintenance releases, patches and the like, so having a unique-ish string to search known issues/chat history/etc with is valuable. Sure, you can check out the code corresponding to the build that produced the core and find the code context from there, but that's another step that takes time, especially if you have to traverse a bunch of mappings like "oh, the core's from a machine on B_FOO_1337, which according to this one service corresponds to commit abcdef123, which is in repo baz, which I don't actually have checked out and/or fetched recently, oops." In an environment of this sort, it's also frequently not super quick or straightforward to get a debugger set up with the appropriate symbols to open the core and see the context - if a person running through a big list of defects can simply plug the string into a search and go oh, yup, it's known issue #12345 vs. having to hunt for the correct symbols, copy the (potentially several gb!) core around, get gdb to happily open it, etc, that eventually adds up to big time savings. Finally, compiler optimizations can make it so that, while a value is present in the core, the debugger can't automatically find it and gives you that <value optimized out> thing. While you usually can go digging around in the registers to extract it, that's a pain and yet more time. If you put the value(s) of the failed assertion in the string, that's one less spot for someone doing triage to get hung up on when trying to tell whether an issue is something new or just frequency of a known issue.

For stuff I'm just writing by and for myself, yeah, I take your approach. For software that will generate failures I may not be the first person in an organization to have to look at, I add friendly strings.

What if you represented arrays as recursively nested triples like '(1 2 3 4 5) as [[1 null 2] 3 [4 null 5]]. Then you could parch the tree of triples much more succinctly. You might have to disallow nested arrays but this would as bad a restriction as disallowing nulls as map values. You could append and delete array indexes better. Or maybe make it an 8-way tree like Clojure does for its vector representation to condense the patch further.
> It's not really meaningful to measure entropy of a single password

Here’s a ‘not meaningful’ formula then: E = L × log₂(R)

• E is the entropy, in bits, representing how hard the password is to crack.

• L is the password length (number of characters).

• R is the size of the character set (e.g., 26 for lowercase letters, 52 for upper/lowercase, 62 if digits are included).

• log₂(R) is the number of bits needed to represent each character.

I hear your point: a single password might not actually use all character types, so the actual entropy could be less than its potential. Maybe they could have drawn from a wider range and didn’t.

But for everyday user feedback, assuming the fewest sets seems fine to nudge people toward picking stronger passwords.

What I could never understand is why government funding is needed for residency spots in the first place. From the outside, it seems like residents are cheap labour for hospitals. Even without getting any money from the government, the value of residents' labour should exceed their relatively small salary—so hospitals should be incentivized to hire many more residents. What are the economics (or regulations) of residency that make this not work?

There's a number of state programs to solve this problem with testing permits. The manufacturer puts up a bond and does testing in a limited area, sending reports on any incidents to the state regulator. The largest of these, California's, has several dozen companies with testing permits.

Tesla currently does not participate in any of these programs.

Tesla should build their doors like this. Oh, wait, the car I’m talking about is an older Tesla. Maybe Tesla should remember how to build doors like this.
Accountable care organization (ACO) contracts between payers and providers usually don't allow cherry picking. They have to take all comers. There are typically higher capitation rates for older, sicker patients. It does take some actuarial sophistication to price those risks correctly but with large numbers of patients things tend to average out.
> They are minted by medical schools, so naturally the mechanism to flooding the market involves opening more of them and dumbing down the graduation requirements.

Nope, in the US we have an extra filter that takes perfectly good med school grads and throws away a large fraction for no good reason other than their bad luck in not getting into a residency program. These are people who passed four years of quite rigorous medical school at great expense, and we effectively ruin their lives (and create artificial health care shortages) by denying them careers arbitrarily. In the US it doesn't matter if you're in the top 1% of the graduating class in the best medical school in the country: if you don't get into a residency program (required before you can be an MD) your medical career is over before it begins.

Even if we did nothing but guarantee a 1-1 relationship between graduates of our medical schools and residency program seats we would have more doctors and would not be watering down our talent pool of doctors one iota.
