This is a frustratingly bad take. Bad repair practices are gradually taking over the entire market and they clearly represent a failure of said market to provide good products, ie the strategy consists of making the product irrefutably worse in order to make a bit more money. Every major phone manufacturer, for example, has followed in apple’s footsteps to make independent repair more difficult purely to extract more profits. In other words, how does the corporate shoeshine taste?
I personally have aphantasia, and, funny enough, I don't visualize anything when I'm coding, or reading code: I just understand the concept more or less deeply, but always without any images: It's just the "concept" that I understand. It's really like if I had an interpreter in my head when reading and when coding, I do the opposite: I know the required sequence and I reverse engineer it to the programming language version.

Do you guys really have schema in mind??
I had a blast playing that game when I was a kid - as I recall it struck a good balance between simple, accessible controls while also being challenging (and without being frustrating). The gold cartridge rather than the typical NES cartridge probably also lent it an air of specialness.

As I got older I realized that most kids with Nintendos had more games and I felt left out for never having played Zelda or Metroid. But man, Micro Machines, Super Mario Bros 3 and Faxanadu was all I needed.
This largely runs to my point. It wasn't the arbitrary danger that led to religion. It was people teaching that the danger was from a directed source that did. Put differently, without priests, would there be religion?
Fortunately, I'm arguing they're 1 and the same. "in long running games, untrustworthy players lose out"

That is both what is and what should be. We tend to focus on the bad, but fortunately most of the time the world operates as it should.

I just revisited similar tools to understand better why I feel your tool has more appeal to me than the likes of miro, etc. and I realized I forgot to compliment the good parts. Yours felt way simpler, the ui doesn’t get in the way and that’s a huge plus. I wasn’t greeted with any pop ups, toasts and whatnot. It felt professional like the other software I use, and not a dystopian fragile virtual money grab toy. Those other tools feels enterprisey, thus yucky, cringey. On a subjective level I don't identify with corporate values that’s why I think your tool felt like the very first of its kind I have ever used, because the entire process/context aligned with my values as a hacker, independent researcher. It was a relevant experience for that matter!
Sorry for what's probably a stupid question, but how do you find DJs on Youtube? Do you literally just search for stuff like "Hard Rock DJ" and then start clicking through results?
you made your forms wrong on the front-end, it's not auto-filling.
In general, anything that's mandatory for life/basic quality of life but still needs to be produced by industry should should be regulated to artificially reduce prices in order to compensate for inelastic demand and prevent price gouging. This regulation should include supply-side subsidies and dynamic, carefully considered price controls.

This should apply to food, water, housing, health care, transportation, internet; all those good things that you can't do without and are extremely vulnerable to market manipulation.

> What I'm unclear on is whether "health spending", in this analysis, is defined as money paid to care providers such as hospitals and dentists, or money paid by citizens for healthcare. Because you've got insurers and PBMs taking profit.

> The ratio of those two numbers is the efficiency of the American insurance model.

The ratio of those two numbers is quite divorced from the efficiency of an insurance model.

On the one side, this would count wasteful spending on unnecessary tests or overpriced services as an efficiency improvement because proportionally more money is going to providers. On the other side, if insurers better at preventing fraud have lower premiums and therefore get more customers and make more money, that would count as "inefficiency" and the fraud prevented would also count as inefficiency (because that money went to "providers"), even if the net result is less fraud and lower premiums.

That isn't to say that the US system is efficient. It's clearly quite broken. But its brokenness is because the government has been thoroughly captured by the industry -- which is the providers as much as the insurers -- and they oppose any measures that would improve actual efficiency because the inefficiency is their profit. Which is why the US system costs more than the systems in other countries regardless of whether the other countries use public or private systems.

An efficient regulatory system for a private insurance market would be something like, a schedule of service codes where each provider is required to publish a fee schedule representing the uniform fee paid by all institutional insurers, eliminating the overhead of "negotiating prices" (a major source of inefficiency) in favor of price transparency and allowing patients and insurers to choose a provider on the basis of price and distance, while still subjecting providers to competitive pressure because people would naturally favor providers with lower fees. But the existing US system doesn't do that at all.

Both.

The material on the outside of the pictured dome is usually just a covering over the wood or steel hexagonal frame.

Sometimes it's concrete originally formed with an inflatable, but that's rarer.

I live in a geodesic dome home and I learned a lot about them, originally designed by Buckminster Fuller, they are inherently resilient against hurricanes, earthquakes, and all manner of environmental events.

The Adobe coating on the pictured one just replaces roofing and helps seal them up. Most domes don't use that.

What I was responding to was the sentiment of doubling down on mysticism. "My parents beliefs are my beliefs, and that is correct, and so that's what I'm going to believe, and then teach my kids". No opportunity to grow.

Was pointing out that, a lot of people really spend a lot of years going in weird directions, so why not pause, look around, and figure out a better way forward.

Really, this seems to be the kind of response I get when others want the "freedom means free as long as they agree with me". But suggest thinking differently, and boom, can't have that kind of stuff happening, "not that kind of freedom".

Like if someone was a Satan worshiper. And I suggested reading the bible. Then that is good, people should be free to suggest that, and to change.

But if someone is evangelical. And I suggest that Satan might have made some good points, or the Bible actually allows for abortion. Then boom, that isn't freedom, you are corrupting people, we have to stop that.

I'm not asking you to look at anything. Many US healthcare payers are private non-profit corporations. That includes some (but not all) Blue Cross Blue Shield Association licensees. The BCBSA isn't a payer itself and merely provides some shared services to their independent licensees. Outside of the Blues system there are other large non-profit payers such as Kaiser Permanente, HCSC, Geisinger, EmblemHealth, etc. This isn't secret information, you can just go look it up instead of arguing.

Commercial health plans have conflicting financial incentives. Most of them no longer provide much insurance (in terms of bearing financial risk) but rather primarily act as administrators for self-insured employers. So while payers can potentially boost short-term profits by paying out higher claims, employers comparison shop between competing health plans every year. Your HR department would happily switch from Aetna to Cigna (or whatever) next year if their analytics forecast shows that would save a few dollars on expected claims.

Ambulance fees are a mess but those represent a tiny fraction of overall US healthcare spending. Some reform there would be a good idea but that wouldn't do much to reduce costs.

Significant systemic cost reductions will require some mix of lower provider wages, care rationing, and reduced spending on new drug and device development. Countries with more socialized healthcare systems are more financially efficient in some ways but they also just do less stuff: less drug development, longer queues for advanced treatments, underpaid doctors (relative to market wages), care restrictions based on QALYs (or similar metrics). Complaints about payer profits, while perhaps somewhat legitimate in certain cases, are largely a distraction from more fundamental problems. That's just basic math dictated by the cashflows. There are no simple solutions and we're eventually going to have to make hard choices. No one wants to face this reality.
These figures are generally based on consumption rather than production for that reason. It’s not helpful to credit emissions to the people who largely aren’t driving the output.

City living brings efficiencies from operating at scale - fewer miles by car, block of apartments instead of single family homes.
Neat, thank you! I'll definitely give it a shot and see how it goes.
How Google is changing to compete with ChatGPT
I guess I don't consider my motorcycles to be art projects. I want to experience the machine as it was originally designed, as much as I can. Once I've done that with this one, I'll move on to another. But I don't care to "make it mine." Car nuts who restore old Mustangs or Corvettes are the same way, just on a somewhat bigger scale.

There are of course a large number of people who do the opposite. They take vintage bikes and chop them up into cafe racers or whatever. And that's fine too. Just not what I'm interested in.
I will say this without and I mean it. I am kinda done. Whatever reason they can come up with, it does not matter. That ship has sailed when the propaganda machine tried to paint 'driving to work as zen time'[1].

So I am done arguing. We will see how many will do the same, because one can literally vote with feet and just not show up. And.. there is nothing they can do if it is done throughout the industry.

On a separate note, if the executives truly think they can just put AI into everything ( and looks like some have truly drank the koolaid ) and let skeleton crew attempt to maintain stuff, I suppose I can't do much else but sit back and just appreciate real life idiocracy unfold before our very eyes.

There's a conflict in your paragraph I wanted to point out.

That's a strong claim! You are implying there is a miracle here, something science can't explain.

I can contest that, as you surely know. Imagine I produce an explanation here...

> But don't tell us what to believe.

The problem is that I can't produce an explanation without implying you should believe it: that's what an explanation is.
I agree! Visualizing a workflow or a project this way seems to have a ton of potential. I already keep most of my knowledge in Obsidian or template folder structures, and this provides a really neat way to visualize it.

An immediate use case that comes to mind is when I’m sending multiple file “deliverables” to a client— i.e. a quote, a report package, some spec sheets, and a relevant CAD diagram)— I could quickly arrange them on as previews on canvas with arrows to visually communicate how they relate and their relative importance rather using multiple paragraphs to explain the seven attachments.

So, wait, you can't add an item to an array with this (except at a predefined position)? I.e. "add" with path "/.../myarray/~" (if I've understand their notation right) isn't allowed?

I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but it's certainly surprising and could do with saying a bit more explicitly.

No irony intended I can be this dumb. Your point did occur to me as I posted, was just grasping at straws for a "clean" solution
I think I saw the following insight on Arvind Narayanan's Twitter, don't have a specific cite:

The biggest problem with this definition is that work ceases to be economically valuable once a machine is able to do it, while human capacity will expand to do new work that wouldn't be possible without the machines. In developed countries machines are doing most of the economically valuable work once done by medieval peasants, without any relation to AGI whatsoever. Many 1950s accounting and secretarial tasks could be done by a cheap computer in the 1990s. So what exactly is the cutoff point here for "economically valuable work"?

The second biggest problem is that "most" is awfully slippery, and seems designed to prematurely declare victory via mathiness. If by some accounting a simple majority of tasks for a given role can be done with no real cognition beyond rote memorization, with the remaining cognitively-demanding tasks being shunted into "manager" or "prompt engineer" roles, then they can unfurl the Mission Accomplished banner and say they automated that role.

False. At the very technical level, a hypothesis is defined by statistics.

When you cut through all the cultural and human stuff we place around the scientific method, in the end it is a statistics problem at the most technical level. Everything else makes it fuzzy and hard to define.
How to find helpful product reviews in a sea of made-for-Google junk
What an awful article; full of a-priori conclusions that lead down that blissful road to despair and nihilism. The world needs less of this form of superficial thought. The article claims that narratives can give more meaning, as if meaning can come from anywhere else. The story is THE meaning - it's consciousness that gives narrative and consequentially meaning to everything. Be careful of what you "liberate". Your mind can be open enough to the point that your brain falls out, you know.

That said, I don't disagree with everything the author had to say. I agree with the point about the danger of making yourself the main character.

Lambda World 2024 – The Power of Function Composition – Conor Hoekstra [video]
Open source never benefits the general public, because open source developers never make a product polished and user-friendly enough to be usable by the general public.

Instead, open source mainly benefits other developers. But at the end of the chain there has to be a product that is of use for non-developers. Because developing isn't for developments sake. And the person who makes that product reaps all the monetary benefits from the work that the others have made.

If FOSS people made complete products which were end user friendly, I'd buy the argument of benefitting the general public.
Imagine you collected a billion unique, feasible board positions (all positions is intractable, but most possible positions are impractical) and the best nest move for each. That "best next move" is the result of a tree search.

Now use a transformer to "compress" that information into its model. It sounds like that is approximately what is going on here. Certainly, the model is likely to generalize some aspects of the data (just like LLMs do). But for the most part, the model encodes the information from the Stockfish evaluation.

(This is just my guess of what we are seeing.)

I don't think that you necessarily need lexical locality, rather you need specification. And interfaces are just an easy way to make a specification. The problem with "too much" lexical locality is that now you have to search DEEP into stacks to figure out what really going on.

The whole point of specifications is trying to extract the most requirements in the least amount of time. With more "top level" interfaces and tools like DI you can do that, but certainly you can take it too far. A single function, I'd say, is way too far.

> I'm probably failing to consider edge cases but it seems like a potentially simple tweak that might make lisps more palatable to many

Lisp came out in 1960. The s-expression-only syntax was an accident or a discovery - depending on one's view. Over the many years no attempt to add significant indentation syntax without parentheses gained more than a few users. Syntax variants without parentheses (and no significant indentation) only had a marginally better fate. Sometimes it even contributed to the failure of Lisp derived languages (-> Lisp 2, Dylan)...

What makes a good API key?

GDP per capita and other "per capita" metrics are also unreliable metrics for household income, as they suffer from the same issue as averages. This is a common trap that is done in population statistics, as mean and averages are always easier to calculate and reduce the complexity of the calculations.

Large wealth inequality makes GDP per capita and average household spending not representative of a real-world median household. If healthcare costs have outpaced median income but kept up with mean income, that is a MASSIVE societal issue.

Most of the plots and arguments in the article overlook this, so I don't trust the arguments much.

However, it is still interesting how strong the correlations are. It gives some interesting insights into what goes into the cost of running hospitals, I suppose.
