It does happen in a fashion in the Canadian system where family doctors at least operate as private businesses that bill the gov't, and because of that have to spend quite a bit of time on paperwork which then requires a whole edifice which there has been a lot of complaint about recently.

Neither of your links are primary source data and give an incorrect interpretation. If you follow the links to the primary data you will find the phrasing changes from "medical problems contributed to..." in the source to "health care expenses were the most common cause of bankruptcy" in your citation.

The numbers you cite are the percent of bankruptcies that include medical debt. The data doesn't say the medical debt caused the bankruptcy, or that this debt type was the largest percentage of debt. People declaring bankruptcy typically have many types of debt as they generally fall behind on all their bills.
Sortimo T-Boxx (or similar). I have rack with a stack of 12 of them labeled by component type.

Mostly because such a system would install in fighting among programs that all will want to be prioritized as important. tbf it will mostly be larger companies who will take advantage of it for "better" user experience. Which is kind of important to either reduce to a minimal amount of running applications or simply control it manually for the short burst most users will experience. If anything cpu intensive tasks are more likely to be bad code than some really effective use of resources.

Though when it comes to gaming, there is a delicate balance as game performance should be prioritized but not be allowed to cause the system to lock up for multitasking purposes.

Either way, considering this is mostly for idle tasks. It has little importance to allow it to be automated beyond giving users a simple command for scripting purposes that users can use for toggling various behaviors.
That's not a close reading of the other comment.

If LLMs were specially advertised as a way to get all the stuff you already love for free, it would be.

They're not.

What they are advertised as is a way to solve problems and create novel things.

In this regard, LLMs are less of a copyright infringement issue than, e.g. Google News and Google Images both of which had to change because they were in law copyright infringements.

This does not mean that LLMs or diffusion models must get a free pass or anything like that: these are a novel things that didn't previously exist, so while I was initially surprised by the legal cases against Stability and OpenAI due to the existence of Google search and that nobody seemed to care about GPT-3 or the original DALL•E, the arguments made against them are nevertheless interesting and worth caring about.

I suspect LLMs are so useful the powers that be will just carve out a space for them; conversely I don't see that applying to image generation models, so I kinda expect them to be strictly limited to cases where the source data can be proven correctly licensed.

I owned a Wiphone for about 3 days before deciding it's not for me. I was hoping for something that followed the Unix philosophy of doing one thing well and working well with others. Unfortunately though the included firmware was rather bad at filling the role of a phone. I couldn't get my SIP account to reliably place calls. Sometimes the call would be established and I would hear the other end, but the other end could not hear me. Usually it wouldn't connect at all and there was no error logging to tell me what was going wrong. The Pacman clone was the most enjoyable app.
And we look for Mersenne primes, AFAIU, mainly because Mersenne numbers are more likely to be prime than other numbers, so it's easier to find big primes that way.
Agreed, other nice things to have:

* A multi-touch screen

* Dedicated app store

* AI voice controlled personal assistant

* Face ID to unlock the phone

* 48MP front facing and back facing cameras capable of 4K video

* Maybe have a fruit as a logo on the back of the phone

Definitely agree on the array. They were smart enough to use JSON for the patch format so that people didn't have to write custom parsers but then used a selector syntax that requires a custom parser (and serializer). It seems like an obvious unforced error.

Though that was a bit 2020. Not sure it still goes on.
Personal network to get the first 20 - literally going to meet people and helping them set up over coffee, then marketing for the rest. The audience were SaaS founders mostly, since it's a marketing tool for SaaS SMEs.

What's important is after you get the first N customers, the way you acquire customers will likely change. You'll exhaust your personal network eventually. Knowing your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) is important and so is having a good understanding that the value/price of your product dictates what kind of sales/marketing you can do.

Things like cold emailing are fine for your first few customer development calls, but generally if your deal size is less than $1-2,000/year then (with exceptions) you should stop doing this after you get the first customers.

I run a low price point SaaS for SMEs (avg price is <$100/month), so this required switching from just messaging people I knew, to getting SEO, word of mouth, and the viral loop working. Outbound/inbound sales is not economical at that price point.
For a US southerner it works too. We can use the tool to 'git' our code.
I've advocated something similar. Don't just describe the tool at a high level (people often seem to go into marketing mode) - tell the story of what problem it was designed to solve and the trade offs you made along the way. Makes it much easier to place the tool and available options/modes/etc in context and quickly decide whether it's a good fit for you.

That's a rather odd argument, don't you think? Romans have been in my country even before that, Greeks have been in present-day Turkey, Egypt, etc. Normans have invaded and colonised England 1000 years ago. Should the corollary be that these peoples are somehow entitled to expel the current dwellers of those lands because of some sort of historical right?
> That makes no sense. Google Books was blocked exactly because it was reproducing enough material to be infringing. Google search usually does not copy enough material that it might be considered infringing (even though I think news sites have sued over this in some jurisdictions, right?)

Google Books? That's a non-sequitur. When I said "Page Rank" I mean the algorithm used by Google Search to rank web pages in their search engine results.

The search results give you direct quotations from the pages they linked to, and for a long time also had links to cached copies of those pages.

> It's fairly obvious that the people running LLMs don't want to prevent them from infringing copyright, particularly in image gen.

Apart from all the times they pop up messages refusing to reproduce copyrighted material? The only reason I was even willing to create the following query is because I knew it would refuse me on that grounds: https://chatgpt.com/share/67138f5b-a110-8011-adf8-a82f3fc473...

Image gen… well, for at least the third-party fine-tuners, I agree with your impression. The main players? Unclear to me, especially as we see some models from big players which are created from scratch using only correctly licensed materials — I believe Adobe's models would be an example of correctly licensed training content.

BTW, few things from professional exp:

1. Cheap components (most probably you will use such in 99% cases) are +-5% from claimed parameters (sometimes appear batches with more than +-10% difference).
Also, unfortunately, cheap components parameters changed very large with temperature and when high voltage applied (100V is enough).
And yes, I all time have ready measurement tool near, and always first check component parameters when something not working.

2. Experienced developers when considering batches, trying to make designs, which tolerate more than 10% difference of parameters, and just buy few reels with near to magnitudes numbers which fit in all circuit. For example, 1KOhm, 5KOhm, 10KOkm, 100KOhm, 500KOhm.

3. Just few times in my whole life, I seen very expensive precision components, like 0.5Ohm 5W for high-end audio. This one resistor costs somewhere about 5$, but it is only one in whole circuit.

Honestly you could sell me the best alternative to Git that exists and I still wouldn’t switch, or even try it. I don’t care enough about my versioning system to use something else than what everybody uses. Ubiquity beats convenience.

What I care about is the tooling around it: GitHub and its ecosystem mainly. I also want my open source projects to be on GitHub specifically, and I don’t want to ask contributors to use something other than Git.

> Of course it's doubtful that image and video gen AI are strategically important, but I trust the AI lobby to make sure that governments won't make that distinction.

I suspect otherwise. The use cases for image generators are much less obvious than for a personal assistant that's just as fluent in Chinese, international relations, hacking, military strategy, and speech writing… even when the current fluency of LLMs relative to government workers is somewhere between "mediocre" to "it'll do".

I think big copyright owners, however, will probably make their own models. Disney etc. could very easily use their own content to (help) make as many more films as they want. Real human artists will be disempowered regardless of how the copyright stuff happens. Probably.

I'm skeptical of claims that this waste doesn't translate into the higher level metrics.

The claim is that the size of the pot of money to be split is determined by the willingness of consumers to pay. Which is determined by their wealth. Therefore the inclusion of a lot of administration changes the split of where that money goes. More administration = less money for nurses and doctors. Less administration = more money for nurses and doctors.

This fits observed behavior in other places. Your potential client has a problem and a potential budget for the solution. Clients are remarkably indifferent to how that budget is split up, as long as a solution to the problem is worth spending the budget. Here is the example that originally brought this point home to me. When Oracle moved from Solaris to Linux around the year 2000, it was able to charge more money for the database. Why? Because companies were willing to spend money on Oracle that previously went to the hardware and operating system. This incentive to open source the complement of whatever product you're providing is one of the reasons why so much money has been invested into creating open source.

I'm not an SME but I would imagine that if there's some sort of very large scale pattern in Mersenne primes then finding that might lead to the discovery of some currently unknown emergent property. Of course this argument is likely unfalsifiable, as it can scale infinitely if there's an infinite amount of them, though we don't even know whether they are a finite set or not.
