He has very good taste. I wish more Scala people are like him.

Not everything is a pure data structure. I called a gRPC streaming callback with multiple threads in Scala (got garbled result in the receiver). You can say this is the fault of using the Java API, but the more Scala solution (fs2) involves serializing the access under the hood which is not cheap.

How doctors are licensed in the US compared to western Europe might explain why health care costs are higher in the US, but it does not explain why health care costs are rising so much. That's because health care costs are rising at similar rates in western Europe (and most of the rest of the first world).

For example from 2000 to 2018 here's the ratio of per capita health care costs in 2018 to the costs in 2000 for several countries:

2.1 Germany
1.8 France
2.0 Canada
1.7 Italy
2.6 Japan
2.6 UK
2.3 US

Here's cost ratios over several decades compared to 1970 costs for the US, the UK, and France:

1980 1990 2000 2010 2020
US 3.2 8.2 13.9 24.1 36.3
UK 3.1 6.3 15.3 27.8 40.5
FR 3.4 7.6 14.9 21.1 28.5

Here's the same data showing the the cost ratio decade to decade instead of from 1970:

1980 1990 2000 2010 2020
US 3.2 2.6 1.7 1.7 1.5
UK 3.1 2.0 2.4 1.8 1.5
FR 3.4 2.2 2.0 1.4 1.4

My data source was https://data.oecd.org/healthres/health-spending.htm but it looks like data.oecd.org reorganized their site so that redirects to https://www.oecd.org/en/data/indicators/health-spending.html which seems to have the data but with a much more limited interface.

You haven't actually contended with the legal reasoning provided for this position — that corporations are entitled First Amendment protections — by the courts.

> 3) The biggest challenge about data models is not auto-generated code

I would say auto-generated code is most definitely the harder problem to solve, and I’d also go out on a limb and say it is THE problem to solve.

Whether it’s JSON, XML, JavaScript, SQL, or what have you, integrating both data and behavior between languages is paramount. But nothing has changed in the last 40+ years solving this problem, we still generate code the same clumsy way… Chinese wall between systems, separate build steps, and all the problems that go with it.

Something like project manifold[1] for the jvm world is in my view the way forward. Shrug.

Nice guide. It fails to mention that the full form of the reverse port forward allows a remote bind address:

ssh -R [bind-address:[remote-port]:][hostname]:[port] [user]@[remote-host]

Not specifying a bind address binds to all. Using localhost limits exposure.

And repeated use of -R ... for multiple reverse port forwards (might not have been mentioned, I didn't see it).

>Why do you think I presented those questions side by side?

Perhaps because cowardice prevented you from stating your point clearly, so instead you resorted to vague implications in the form of a question.

A fine tactic which gives the coward a plausible deniability defense when their bullshit is called out: I didn't say that, you said that.

Coupled with other similar techniques, e.g.:

* You know what I mean

* Questions that have actual answers, but are asked rhetorically to make an implication: How many cats are eaten alive each year by immigrants?

* Both-sidesing/false balance (giving equal weight to contradicting points of view, regardless of what the reality has to say)

* Ambiguous implication that can be taken in many ways, depending on how the asker defines the terms: Do you really think the immigrants are helping the economy?

* Non-sequiturs and non-answers

* False dichotomies

* Etc

...this gives the coward a superpower to start a heated discussion, where the coward never actually says anything directly.

Instead, the opponents exert an enormous effort to debunk each leaf on the tree of possible interpretations of the coward's incomplete thought, effectively doing the thinking for the coward in a futile attempt to nail down what point the coward intended to make.

(There is no such clear point, other than I am right and you are wrong).

By the time it becomes clear that no possible interpretation is supported by reality, the coward silently leaves the discussion, and says the same exact things elsewhere, feeling empowered by having made others frustrated.

That frustration counts as a victory in an argument in coward's view, with the assumption that it comes from inability to counter the coward's (unstated, vague, implied) points.

In reality, it's infuriating to have to be made guessing what the other person wants to say, doubly so when they are the one forcing to play that game, which, miraculously, you always seem to lose, because the outcome is invariably "that's not quite what I'm saying" (and what the coward is saying is never directly stated by the coward).

At the same time, this protects the coward from being riduculed for any of the views they're promulgating in the discussion.

This is why the coward never states the views directly, and instead e.g. "presents questions side by side".

If the coward were to say outright "Unlike CD players, there's actually no clear way to say whether vaccines work or not", the coward would be laughed out of the room, and they know it — which is why the resort to implications and rhetorical questions about coward's motivation.

I hope this fully answers the question asked.

What happens after the effective end of society?
I have a hard time seeing how this isn't obvious. 95% of everyday AI needs (for the people that even bother to interact with it) are covered by ChatGPT, and most of that is the same stuff that Google was handling before.

From personal experience, the only thing that changed when replacing the "old" Google Assistant with the Gemini-powered one on my Pixel was that it's no longer able to create reminders.
By "Vite replacement" I mean "replacement in Vite". My wording was ambiguous, it can mean either.
For it to have value they need to effectively apply it for something useful and have it be reliable, not just go hey we have llms. like if i could say siri share my location with my wife and text her "im on my way" oh and send her a pic of what im looking at through my sunglasses. And it worked 99% of the time, and could figure out to do it through google maps because she has android, that would be great.

SELinux bypasses
The fact that they couldn’t deliver something even approaching kindergarten levels of understanding a year ago makes me worry that either zero of the people who know what they’re doing in present-day “AI” work at Apple, or, plenty of great minds do but they can’t get anything done because Apple’s management is too conservative to release something that would be vastly more powerful than Siri but might possibly under certain circumstances hurt someone’s feelings or otherwise embarrass Apple.

Nothing would make me happier than to finally be wrong betting against “Siri,” though.
> It seems to me like we already have a lower-overhead approach ... Rust

Rewriting all the existing C++ code in Rust is extremely high-cost. Practically speaking, that means it won't happen in many, many cases.

I think we want to find a more efficient way to achieve memory safety in C++.

Not to mention, Rust's safety model isn't that great. It does memory safety, which is good, but it's overly restrictive, disallowing various safe patterns. I suspect there are better safe alternatives out there for most cases, or at least could be. It would make sense to consider the alternatives before anyone rewrites something in Rust.
Great summary. The more parties involved with more and more configurations the more management of details is needed.

>>do you look up salary stats on Glassdoor, etc before you consider open position or asking for a raise? Would you consider it offensive if someone told you to stop cheating and just learn to negotiate better?

I'd look at Glassdoor as reading the actual signs in the wild, like reading tracks, markings, broken twigs, etc., not an artificial aid — it's one of the signs in the environment. And like signs in the environment, it's not like a camera, it is often obscured, gamed, and skewed. Similarly, a crafty employee would also contact people she knows and exploit connections to scout the potential employer.

However, putting game cameras, webcams, and/or recording devices in their management offices, HR offices, and meeting rooms would be considered a bit out of bounds, you think?

The story of phthalates really highlights the drinking from the fume hood aspects of our commercial norms. Phthalates are designed to squeeze between hydrophobic polymers such that their bulk mechanical properties are changed, while remaining chemically inert and not subject to breakdown. The question of what this would do in the human body, which is full of polymers with very sensitively evolved mechanical properties, was obvious - yet it was not asked in a funded capacity until we had been letting it accumulate in our kids for decades. The position of our institutions on this is a clear case of preferring not to know.
There are lots of different irons though, as I recall from chemistry class. I wouldn’t assume that every form of iron you ingest is equally carcinogenic.
This is interesting. The link they claim is that it's the iron in the meat, specifically in the form of Fe3+, which activates telomerase in colorectal cancer, advancing the cancer (or causing individual cancer cells to proliferate when they may have been naturally killed off).

The huge question this leaves for me, which isn't addressed at all, is why we do not see similar associations with colorectal cancer with other foods high in iron?

On a per-serving basis, foods like spinach contain far, far more iron than beef [0]. Furthermore, beef contains mostly heme-based iron, which is chelated Fe2+, not Fe3+. More broadly, most non-heme iron is in Fe3+ form, and must be reduced to Fe2+ in your digestive system [1]. Why don't we see this cancer associated with other iron-rich foods?

Also in [1] is mentioned that consuming Vitamin C assists the reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+, I wonder if we will find that high levels of vitamin C consumption reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.

What you're advocating for would be a crime against humanity.

Every four years, the medical industry kills a million Americans via preventable medical errors, roughly one third of which are misdiagnoses that were obvious in hindsight.

If we get to a point at which models are better diagnosticians than humans, even by a small margin, then delaying implementation by even one day will constitute wilful homicide. EVERY SINGLE PERSON standing in the way of implementation will have blood on their hands. From the FDA, to HHS, to the hospital administrators, to the physicians (however such a delay would play out) - every single one of them will be complicit in first-degree murder.
You're missing that Chrome has this built in to the context menu. My dad has been sending me links like this for years now, they just haven't worked for me until this month because I use Firefox.

The average person doesn't even understand a URL at all—as far as they're concerned they're generated by computers for computers and are copied around with little regard for what the various components mean. This feature doesn't change that, it just gives a new way of creating a URL that does something slightly different.
In general, you can usually simplify the first one to have one lifetime for both, and in the second, you’d probably want two lifetimes, one for destination and the others all shared. Defaulting to the same lifetime for everything and then introducing more of them when needed is better than starting with a unique lifetime for each reference.

I think you two are ultimately talking about slightly different things, your parent is trying to point out that, even if this signature is complex, it can’t get more complex than this: one lifetime per reference means the complexity has an upper bound.

Of course you need iron to live but many times too much of something leads to bad consequences.

The previous studies I have looked at point to heme vs non-heme iron sources. The heme iron comes from animal sources and is easier for the human body to absorb than plant based non-heme iron but the heme iron may be leading to cancer growth.
Nitpick:

All else being equal you're generally safer being exposed to stable things that don't break down than unstable things that happily react with all sorts of things (and tend to meddle with the chemical processes required for life).
