Yes they opened the big licensing centers and made them appointment only which is an improvement, you waste zero time. "Miles away" means nothing in Texas, the state is bigger than France.

There's a key signing ceremony with a third-party auditor watching; it seems to rely on trusting them together with the secure boot process. But there are other things you can add to this, basically along the lines of making the machine continually prove that it behaves like the system described in the log.

They don't control all of the service though; part of the system is that the server can't identify the user because everything goes through third party proxies owned by several different companies.

You're talking about reversing tidal currents that have been in effect for over 30 years. It isn't happening. The financials make it increasingly difficult for lone hospitals to stay independent of big health systems, let alone small group practices and partnerships.

Medicine has been corporatized and commoditized. Next comes enshitification. For example, dropping the requirement for American doctors to complete their training in America.

Yeah, there are frequently ways to figure out what date a relative measure is referring to; it's one of the best things about version control being a true norm in this field.

But it's a few extra steps (depending on the UI), and many will not take those steps. They'll just trust it (far beyond when it's relevant), or think "that's probably old" and doubt it (immediately, because old docs are so common).

Close to? Yes, to some extent that's unavoidable in countries as small as Israel.

But under? Do you have a source for that?
I don't think they'd need, or want, to ration.

Rationing was necessary because pricing laws stopped prices from climbing. So demand was higher than supply.

Today there would not be rationing. Prices would be allowed to float, so things in short supply just get expensive. Fears of exhaustion cause people to stock-pile.

This is exactly the approach taken during, and after, the pandemic. It's simpler to let people complain about shortages and prices, and the rich can get whatever they like, as much as they like.

Look at the varied response to "stay home and mask up" - actions which are literally trivial to follow. No sane US govt would attempt "rationing" - the population would simply ignore them.

Several of the comments here certainly have some superiority complex issues as well as what would appear isolation issues. You seem cynical towards a large majority of modern society. If you need a hug, I’m here.
Wait of all things why do you take “look at me behavior” as something that must be based on innate differences? Being a social phenomenon in itself, wouldn’t it be completely reasonable to blame this on different socialization?

I also want to nitpick your language because I think it implies something about your worldview. You said that “certain male behaviors and thought processes are unique to males,” key word there being unique. Given the broad crossover between the sexes in physiology (albeit when examining rare cases), we should, imo, expect absolutely nothing to be a uniquely male/female thought process, just one more likely to be found in one sex than the other. The article provides no argument for uniqueness. To me this seems a very important distinction because the existence of uniquely sexed psychological behavior could be used to justify all manner of political ideas that a higher probability of finding said behavior could not.

Just to be clear, I make no claims about the argument that large populations will exhibit sex-based skews in behavior, just that this is entirely probabilistic and many, many outliers will exist.

Nope, at least not by default or like one would expect from pure Erlang (when it comes to preempting). Been a while since I dug into this admittedly but I write Elixir daily for work (and have for about ten years now). They don’t do the record keeping necessary for the BEAM to interrupt.

Hilarious, your quote is also fabricated, he never said it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ehrlichman

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State."

Could someone please bring Microsoft's Bitnet into the discussion and explain how its performance relates to this announcement, if at all?

https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet

"bitnet.cpp achieves speedups of 1.37x to 5.07x on ARM CPUs, with larger models experiencing greater performance gains. Additionally, it reduces energy consumption by 55.4% to 70.0%, further boosting overall efficiency. On x86 CPUs, speedups range from 2.37x to 6.17x with energy reductions between 71.9% to 82.2%. Furthermore, bitnet.cpp can run a 100B BitNet b1.58 model on a single CPU, achieving speeds comparable to human reading (5-7 tokens per second), significantly enhancing the potential for running LLMs on local devices. "
The axis label on the chart is very strange.
No, factors are supposed to have different qualities, such as:

"Something you know"; "something you have"; "something you do"; "something you are [biometrics]"; "somewhere you are [geolocation]".

Passwords are in your head - "something you know".

TOTP codes are generated by a hardware token - "something you have".

If the TOTP codes are crammed into your password manager, then the factors are no longer distinguished by these qualities, but they're now the same factor, and it's not true MFA anymore, whether or not they're split up across devices, or apps.

> The free market philosophy dictates that we absolutely should do it, and it's a good philosophy to follow.

Sorry, it's never a good idea to base real life policy on ideological dogma. The "free market philosophy" has some good ideas, as well as a lot of bad ones. We shouldn't blindly follow its "dictates."

In my experience, the people who dogmatically preach the free market frequently have an oversimplified understanding or use circular logic to conclude the free market is good by redefining good as whatever the free market does.
This isn't an area I know much about, but wouldn't there be a security risk involved with storing the TOTP seeds alongside the passwords? Or is that not a real concern?
It's the same in Europe as well. It's maddening. Every year I read of massively missing doctors, and at the same time, universities reject 90% of applicants or so because they don't have more places. So those doctors get "imported" from poorer countries, leading to brain drain and making situation in _those_ countries even worse.

It's especially bad now that the societies are getting older and boomer generation retiring. I routinely read news like "the doctor in town X is 70 y.o. and wanted to retire but his patients couldn't find a new doctor, so he came back from retirement".

In France every doctor wants to live and practice in big cities, there's even a term "medical deserts".

In Poland on the other hand, it's very common that a doctor either works in multiple hospitals at the same time (and sometimes also has a private practice); or having cabinets in different towns and every day being in a different town. So in those small towns you can see a specialist like "once month on Wednesdays".
It's fine, even bad password management is better than passkeys.

Thankfully the incredible hype for passkeys has been dead for years now and people are starting to question it.

Agreed, my 737 fears were relieved by researching how many of them are in the air at any moment, how many millions of trips they fly each year, how old airframes can get before they get retired, etc. Even the "worse" models are feats of engineering.
Ok, but they write and fully control the closed-source software that appends to the log. How can anyone verify that all the code paths append to the log? I'm pretty sure they can just not append to the log from their ExfiltrateDataForAdvertisment() and ExfiltrateDataForGovernments() functions.

Maybe I'm not being clear; transparent logs solve the problem of supply chain attacks (that is, Apple can use the logs to some degree to ensure some 3rd party isn't modifying their code), but I'm trying to say Apple themselves ARE the bad actor, they will exfiltrate customer data for their own profit (to personalize ads, or continue building user profiles, or sell to governments and so on).
Using LLM to control your machine has amazing potential for accessibility.
Where is the tldr? Anyone familiar…what does this do and why do we care about it being standards based?
It helps teams create templates for sequences of tasks. For example:

Step 1. Expense is submitted.
Step 2. Initial review.
Step 3. Direct manager approval.
Step 4. CEO approval.
Step 5. Payment is made.

From the manager's perspective, each task has:

- Its own performer, which can be hardcoded or dynamically assigned based on conditions.
- A clear definition of "done," i.e., a set of data inputs required for task completion, such as file uploads or specific selections.
- Its own dynamic due date, based on variables and conditions.

From the performer's perspective, they receive a convenient list of similar tasks to complete, such as a list of expenses to review, phone calls to make, or customers to interview. They don't need to worry about SOPs, like where to submit information for the next step. They simply hit "complete," and the process moves to the next station or person in the queue. Alternatively, if they hit "return," the task goes back to the previous station.

> This is why you see the person in the article claiming that they've always been a "merger", having a false dilemma between merging and rebasing, and describing their solution as "fearless".

> Instead, users should be educated on what the software does, which does require having comprehensive UIs and documentation, and designing the software with sane defaults, fail-safes, and ways to undo any action.

Users can't and won't learn the full details of everything they use, especially "secondary" tools that they use to support their main workflow - and why should they, unless the benefits are large enough to justify that cost? Using a tool in a mode that is inherently safe rather than a mode that can cause data loss in some circumstances is a perfectly reasonable choice. "Fearless" and "dangerous" are perfectly reasonable ways to characterise this distinction.

Hospitals don't provide primary care, and they are not the problem. The high cost of hospitals is due to insurance system incentivized for profits over efficiency and service to the patient: https://www.propublica.org/article/why-your-health-insurer-d... It does not help that private equity has also discovered hospitals as a source of revenue: https://www.propublica.org/article/investors-extracted-400-m....

To understand the true cost of the American medical system, I think you need to look over the border at most any other 1st world country's medical system. Doctor's training is lot cheaper, so more people are incentivized to go into primary care. Insurance is better regulated or single payer. Hospitals are not forced to provide free care (US EMTALA) that causes financial uncertainty. Patients are typically incentivized to not abuse the system unlike the US (e.g. Dilaudid drug abuse enabled by EMTALA)... etc etc...
