LLMs have significantly increased my productivity, but in this case it'd be about the increase in productivity over the existing Pro plan. I mainly use them for generating or improving code, learning about things, and running estimates.

How much better will this be for my uses? Based on my experience with o1, the answer is "fairly marginal". To me, o1 is worse than the regular model or Claude on most things, but it's best for something non-numeric that requires deep thought or new insights. I'm sure there are some people who got a huge productivity boost from o1. This plan is for those people.

I think the Windows event log works like this. Sadly it's very opaque and difficult to use for non admin apps (you need admin rights to install your logs for the first time. Afterwards you can run with less privileges.)
I'm quite ignorant about my phone. I struggle to send someone a photo with it. Every time I have to interact with android for anything trickier than making a phone call or sending a text I just end up angry and frustrated.

I don't use apps on my phone except for phone calls and texts, mostly because I have no clues whatsoever.

I'm probably in your target audience, but:

1) Too expensive for something I'm not convinced will improve my life (it seems to me that people who know how to use smartphones spend 90%+ of their free time looking at it, rather than interacting with real live people), which leads to

2) How will learning this make my life better?

but that it amounted to a new rule that should have been issued via the formal rulemaking process

This is the key part. New regulations need to be made public, a period for public comment is then opened, then comments are made available, then revised regulation is made public before it goes into effect. It takes a good part of a year.

CMS can't just interpret their own regulations however they like. Nor can they make quick updates.

What it sounds like here is the original regulations were badly written ("direct" payments). Zeilis knew it and challenged it, so CMS backed down rather than fight a battle it knew it would lose in the end.

It's similar to prior comments about companies exploiting bad laws or regulations - it's up to the regulator or Congress to fix it - they were the ones who broke it. This seems like a fantastic opportunity for Congress to pass a single law banning fees above normal costs for ACH transfers. Easy win, vote on it before a weekend.

But we know Congress won't.

Most of that makes sense to me. there is a self funded plan, my understanding is that the employer is collecting (and usually subsidizing) the premiums.

At the end of the day, my experience is that my UHC healthcare is about 10% more than healthcare from non-profit Kaiser, and Kaiser is far more stingy with services.

I think there is a hell of a lot wrong with healthcare in the US, but I don't think that constitutes murder just because the stakes are life an death.

Ethics depend not just on the outcome, but the processes that leads to that outcome.

The incentives in healthcare are terrible, but it is the government which has structured the system and those incentives.

Quoting the SF link:

> Seventy percent (70%) of respondents reported living in San Francisco at the time they most recently became homeless. Of those, over half (55%) reported living in San Francisco for 10 or more years.

Granted, that report is almost 5 years old and seems to be prior to Covid (which scrambled a hell of a lot). However, it does seem like the vast majority of homeless are local.

> All I have to do is walk down the streets in Los Angeles and it's very obvious the vast, vast majority of the unsheltered here have a substance abuse problem. Another smaller minority have serious mental illness and some seem to be just anti-social who want to live outside the bounds of society.

Welcome to the results of having closed the state hospitals.

Something like 3/5 of the homeless in SF have a traumatic brain injury. Those people need a medical facility first and foremost.

Universal healthcare would go a long way to helping with the homeless problem. However, Americans aren't smart enough to see benefit. Shrug.
In urban markets, as opposed to rural towns that have high vacancies because everyone has moved away over the last 40 years and nobody wants to move there, the number you're looking for is "market vacancies".

Well, there's two steps. To write a good rulebook, you need good rules first. You need to really think about it like a programmer, in terms of procedures, invariants, completeness etc. So that when you, when you play your own game, you don't constantly run into rules questions that you have to stop and settle. If you do have clear and consistent rules in your head for your own game, then writing a good manual is just craftmansship, that you can even get in a professional technical writer to do for you.

But as all programmers know, your mental model of your program is probably full of holes and dubious logic. And so it will often be for board games. Then a technical writer can't save it.
Because that would be the biggest story in the world.
I'm pessimistic about GitLab, given the state and trajectory of GitLab CI, which should be a core product for them. It's not in a good place, and it's not receiving the attention it needs, for being a core part of their platform. Being required to use GitLab CI causes me pain and frustration on a daily basis.

If the other commenters are correct that the new CEO has a track record of pursuing private equity type acquisitions, then I fear GitLab CI is destined to become the next Travis CI.
It doesn't need to / it already is – most enterprises are already Microsoft/Azure shops. Already approved, already there. What is close to impossible is to use anything non Microsoft - with one exception – open source.

>this form of debt

Taking such an expansive view of debt and things become largely meaningless. You end up defining some billionaires as being in medical debt. Here’s an analysis that ignores debt under 250$ as trivial.

https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/the-burden-of-medi...

“This analysis shows that 20 million people (nearly 1 in 12 adults) owe medical debt. The SIPP survey suggests people in the United States owe at least $220 billion in medical debt. Approximately 14 million people (6% of adults) in the U.S. owe over $1,000 in medical debt and about 3 million people (1% of adults) owe medical debt of more than $10,000.”

But of course that’s a biased survey. ~88 billion of debt that shows up on people’s credit reports suggesting the actual numbers are likely significantly below that estimate.
Not really because "not enough housing" is an issue concentrated in a few major cities, not broadly across the USA.

Most people, if they find themselves in a situation where they can't afford to live somewhere, move.
So if you're under the knife and a surgery is taking longer than expected, which would you prefer?

a) The surgeons just stop the procedure early and close you up

b) They continue but send the anaesthesiologist home, or

c) They continue but you wake up to a massive surprise bill that you need to pay out of pocket?
> However "good" native ads are really just a company paying for priority reporting in the style that would otherwise be done anyway, and are probably content that readers/viewers want.

That's akin to saying a person wants some of that "good" cancer.

If I am paying, I am supporting the editorial staff. It's their decision what to report on and how. Paid-for content, even if it's just for priority coverage, compromises the integrity of the editorial staff as well as their ability to curate (not to mention a clear disincentive to be critical of the ad buyer's claims).

It starts when TheBrink publishes a high quality behind the scenes piece about a scam mobile game instead of a truly great indie game just because the latter is not as profitable and cannot afford to buy the ad.

It ends with the entire catalogue of the publication being paid for by advertisers. Much like some influencer's instagram feed. Paying for access to an ad feed is unacceptible.

To add: "the firewall" between the editorial and business sides of a publication is the basic prerequisite for ethical journalism, even if it's an entertainment rag. Advertising that masquarades as reporting is therefore the worst and most toxic, i.e., cancerous, of the bunch.

So I do not agree that native ads are something that should be desired.
Does using template strings not compromise with type-safety? The drizzle example will be a compile time error for example if id wasn't a numeric column.

Seems a strange design choice for a library that claims to offer a type-safe sql builder.
The visible lining is one thing, but when people talk about lining in suits it can also mean an inner structure made of stiffer material like canvas to help give the suit form and structure.

So in a more traditional suit there is the outer wool, an inner canvas structural lining, and then the slippery inner lining to hide all the seams and make it look finished.

I suspect the Edwardian suit had a slippery inner lining (or maybe cotton inner lining) but no canvas structural lining in between.

My opinion is that the free market is the best way to allocate resources. However, it can't price externalities, so the externalities need to be regulated.

Also, the social safety net should exist, but work within the free market.
Is this what Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield was trying to solve with caps?
Those are self reported numbers, and the questions are often loaded. We did a similar survey here in Seattle and we had most of the unhoused community saying they were from the pioneer square area of Seattle, which is a bit ridiculous when you think about it. I’d take any of these surveys with a grain of salt, and it is more reliable to go by criminal records (but only works for people who are arrested a lot).

So it was practical at one point to dogsled around Antarctica, and it was practical to leave there any dogs who perished.

In the US, passwords are protected by the 5th Amendment. Face and fingerprint are not. Police can make you unlock with those methods with no repercussions.
When talking about context windows I'm surprised no one mentions https://poe.com/.
Switched over from ChatGPT about a year ago, and it's amazing. Can use all models and the full context window of them, for the same price as a ChatGPT subscription.
But that’s my point. Why use passwords at all.

If we’re okay using our face to auth into all mobile apps (business, personal or otherwise) and also to auth into the country every time we fly into it, why not just move towards making it standard.
And that still leaves someone not being able to do their job for a number of hours or a number of days while those "reasonable discussions" are ongoing.

It is a hard problem, and the implied solution of "be even more restrictive" is only going to make matters worse.
The issues I am talking about are all TA2, so the breakdown doesn't help. It's just a completely different technology readiness level.

I have downgraded my respect for ARPA-H. Hopefully this is just some fluke to have gotten approved.
You can consider that they might've had to raise the fare by that much to keep up with inflation/rising costs, but instead, they're keeping it constant. Like the sibling comments have already mentioned, it's an extremely competitive, extremely thin margin business, there is no way you can call what they're charging "gouging".

I don't love this change either, but we don't need to be hyperbolic about it.
>Because what you are describing is literally anarchy. It’s antithetical to our foundational principles as a society.

If the society has failed, people will use violence to build a replacement. This is the system. Its always been the system. What you are saying here, is that stability is more important than fixing a system that is killing people.

>Opposition to the war on terror is not a fringe position in the United States.
And non violent opposition didnt really end it in any reasonable time frame.

>How do you identify the 1/10?
The bullets and blood will be a pretty good indicator.

>Do you really wonder? Do you really, honestly not know the difference? I find that very hard to believe.

The difference is that foreign murder doesn't challenge the stability and comfort that the state provides you, where as local murder might spread to you, and you might need to change your behavior to avoid it. Its just plain old discomfort and hypocrisy. To paraphrase a common internet saying, the f*king around is fine, you simply dont want to find out.
Sure, but if you put a metal fan alongside a punk and a hip hop fan you’d be able to tell the difference, right?
Putting a person on the moon was a lot less risky than this. It was merely an engineering problem.

Are you being serious? Rationing anesthesia during surgeries is not a thing.

The least expensive general anesthesia surgeries I can find already greatly exceed the out-of-pocket annual maximums for ACA market insurance plans (which have worse out-of-pocket maximums than the employment-based insurance plans most people have). You are not paying the money Anthem was trying to get anesthesiologists to stop overcharging!

This is a dispute between two giant corporations, and people are inexplicably (and literally murderously) taking the side of the one that is making more money, and is resisting Medicare's guidelines.

I'm not kidding: the messaging heist anesthesiologist trade groups pulled off here is unreal. They're some of the highest-paid specialists in the entire profession, and people are literally talking about giving their lives to protect their right to overbill you.

We recently had to add that for $bigco requirements at $dayjob, I was stunned: they asked to log people out after — IIRC — 1h inactivity.
definitely not too late. plenty of cases in tech where worse comebacks were achieved. amd is a good example mentioned elsewhere in the thread. jobs brought apple back after it was months away from bankruptcy. even Nvidia itself was close to being fucked when its cuda bet was early and wasn't paying off yet -- Jensen talks about this in interviews

It's difficult to assess one way or the other, but the impact of poisons on rat-eating animals was bordering catastrophic in some areas. Farms using rat poison would often have dead raptors nearby, for example. Hopefully the predators not dying from poisoning will have its own effect on the rat population. It might not be as significant as poison, but it's better that we have healthy predator populations rather than eventually little or none.
> Not required. I was suggesting that the expression could be parsed at runtime. There are various options, with different tradeoffs.

Good idea. That might be possible, though not every JavaScript runtime implements Function.prototype.toString. I'm not sure if Node does.

const aFunction = arg => arg.a === arg.b

const aFunctionSrc = aFunction.toString()
console.log(aFunctionSrc) // 'arg => arg.a === arg.b'

const transformedFunctionSrc = transform(aFunctionSrc)
const transformedFunction = new Function(transformedFunctionSrc)
console.log(transformedFunction) // [Function: anonymous]

// Cache the transformed function in a WeakMap
// WeakMap values are garbage collected when their keys are garbage collected
const functionMap = new WeakMap()
functionMap.set(aFunction, transformedFunction)
console.log(functionMap.get(aFunction)) // [Function: anonymous]
I live in LA and my girlfriend worked for a long time in homeless services and in her experience you have the causality wrong. Often people either start drug habits or their existing drug habits become worse in response to homelessness. As an example, she's met half a dozen people who live on the street and smoke meth specifically to stay awake so their stuff doesn't get stolen. And I agree on your point about LAHSA being way over budgeted, much of what they're doing is a complete waste of money.

FWIW, with modern Redux Toolkit you _don't_ write handwritten nested immutable update logic - you write normal "mutating" code in a reducer and it becomes an immutable update thanks to the Immer library:

Always assumed they block everything they cannot spy, it's not for security. Https they inject their certificates, ssh you can have your key and they'll be blind. And they spy to prevent exfiltration they say. I cannot ssh into my home network but I can drop tons of company code into an LLM prompt.

Everything else, MFA, password rotations, approved software, stupid training videos... is all there to tick some boxes in a certification process or to easily shift the blame when something bad happens.

So, realistically, every continent is an old pet cemetery, Antarctica is just the newest, bleakest, coldest, and driest.

It’s also been the least accessible, making it historically impossible to resupply, in turn making it non-colonizable until diesel generators and the airplanes and (sometimes nuclear) icebreakers required to feed them.

The Arctic on the other hand isn’t a continent, but pretty much every winter becomes physically connected to multiple inhabited countries that already have populations, and these days road and rail, within their Arctic and sub-Arctic regions.

So while the Arctic is definitely a frozen pet cemetery, it’s been a LONG time since it was devoid of dogs (or at least wolves, who colonised it without our help).
Nothing much. And you?
Back in the day (2000s) if you were a .NET shop it made sense as the providers for anything else were not as good. And probably you are more likely to get those skills over Postgres. And Postgres was a lot more early.

If you're in the US, and you do the slightest bit of investing, your income tax is enormously complicated in comparison to a harberger tax, and fraught with potential penalties for gettting any of the numbers wrong. For a harberger tax, you only have to come up with 1 number, and you're the only one who decides whether that number was right or wrong.

If you mess up an income tax, it's easy to get your house taken away and auctioned, with $0 of the proceeds going to you. If you mess up a harberger tax, you get all the proceeds from the sale at a price which you literally just said you'd be happy to sell for.

The frustration and uncertainty isn't nothing; but I think if you were on the harberger system your whole life, and someone asked you if you wanted to switch away from it to the current US tax system, you'd laugh in their face.
