> I live in BC, Canada, and we don't have an entire industry built around claims processing, administration, etc.

There certainly must be people doing all of this claims processing, maybe not an "industry" since it's part of the government:

> They still pay health care workers, but they don't have to have phone banks filled with people answering questions about claim denials. I'm not even sure if a claim denial is a thing here, or who I would call.

There's a long list of rejected claim codes for BC here: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/practitioner-profe...

And a support center for handling questions and disputes: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/practitioner-profe...
And an appeals process: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/health-drug-covera...

The Canadian system may be much cheaper to administer, but it isn't magical. There is still a need for staff to administer and adjudicate claims, and you still have to ration limited healthcare resources somehow.
Nobody Gets Fired for Picking JSON, but Maybe They Should?
It says at the top $500 per month
He argues this point exactly.
I think that hybrid is useful in many contexts, but that providing hybrid as a bundle with other filtering techniques, API-side, is not necessarily the best way. Just a trivial example, you want to filter by documents year for similarity. With Redis vector indexes you didn't even care about hybrid, you create different keys for different years. This is the usual Redis tradeoff, it's very similar to the past but applied to a novel field.

However I don't deny that in the future maybe, if elements of vector sets happen to be JSON documents (maybe just with the attributes you want to filter with, and a document ID), it may be useful to have VSIM options to filter by such scalars.

Claude is available for free (with usage limits) if you register for an account. Then you can pay for a $20/month Claude Pro account as an individual.

I use the Pro account because I really like the Claude Artifacts and Claude Projects features.

Before invoking parallel universes, how about comparing the system to nature's mind-boggling number of particles in the macroscopic world?
A single gram contains 10^23=2^76 particles. Google's random circuit sampling experiment used only 67 qubits, Which is still order of magnitude below 76. I wonder why, the chip had 105 qubits and the error correction experiment used 101 qubits.

Did Google's experiment encounter problems when trying to run RCS on the full 105 qubits device?

Before saying that the computation invoked parallel universes, first I'd like to see that the computation couldn't be explained by the state being encoded classically by the state of the particles in the system.

Yeah, I'm a little confused at what you're offering over existing options (e.g. Wealth front, Betterment, M1). If the answer is just "it costs less" won't you raise prices when it comes time to make money? I suppose "the thing that already exists, but slightly better" is not necessarily bad.

We use both, in my anecdotal experience it depends on what you use them for. The engineering teams which build solar plants use them as “an extra set of eyes” for increased quality control, and they chose ChatGPT. It discovered something to do with cable sizes and efficiency which ended up saving/making a lot of money. I’m sorry I can’t be more precise than that, but I know they had a much better result rate with ChatGPT. For my team which is software development, we favour Claude. It’s obviously rather anecdotal but it has been much better at Go than ChatGPT. For other languages like Python I don’t think there is any real difference. If you feed them both the same prompt they’ll often give you an extremely similar output, and neither will consistently be better than the other.

So I think it’s mainly to work with the one which works for you. I’ve seen some of our more junior developers first use Claude and then ChatGPT to refine their output, or the reverse.

Jujutsu replaced git for me in February of this year, except for managing tags, which I reach for the git cli for in my colocated repositories. I find it is much easier for me to create a sensible set of revisions that linearly approach my desired state for the working directory, even if I did not linearly arrive there.

I also use features of jj that are not available in git all the time, like rebase -s (rebase a tree from the root), split (turn one revision into two), absorb (cascade changes into a stack of revisions where the lines were last modified), etc.

Given how stable git is as a repo format, I find it unlikely that I will ever go back.
You clearly are very frustrated that you're being left out of their AI, to the point you're wishing you could use violence to take their money over it.

The problem is you seem to think your involvement in the advancements should be orthogonal to your involvement in regulation.

That doesn't work in a world with sovereign nations: as cartoonish as comparing this to nuclear holocaust is, who do you think had more of a role in disarmament, the nuclear-weapon states, or the non-nuclear powers signing treaties with other non-nuclear powers?

Vanguard keeps sending me emails lately about enabling lending on my brokerage account[1]; although I only have classic mutual funds in there, which I don't think can be lent. I imagine their brokerage lending will include a cut for the brokerage, although maybe it will be closer to cost than at other brokerages. I don't really know where the Vanguard brokerage net revenue ends up.

[1] And frankly a lot of other 'opportunities' I'm not interested in, that seem outside the John Bogle model of Vanguard helping normal people invest in the public market at low cost. I don't want to invest in off market opportunities, thanks, and it makes me lower my opinion of the company that they push it.

I don't see how it divolves into anarchy if you only go after people who ~everyone agrees is guilty. The point of judges is to decide who that is and communicate it so people can convince themselves that justice is done, or at least close enough.

In the US, not that I'm aware of. I suppose it would be possible to add a "poison pill" ("If we change this, we'll pay everyone $X dollars") to then just make it a normal contract, but again essentially no company would be willing to do that because it extremely limits their options. Also, "forever" is a lot shorter than people think, it's only as long as the powers-that-be are in a position to enforce a contractual position.

Are you talking to me?

Can you explain what point are you making and how does it relate to what we were discussing?
For me, the license change upset me mainly for two reasons:

1. Many people had contributed their efforts to the Redis project for free - both in terms of code but also in advocacy, writing tutorials, publishing example code etc - and when they did that it was under the understanding that project would remain under the same open source license. It honestly felt like a betrayal of trust.

2. From a purely selfish point of view, my favourite thing about open source licenses is that they let me know exactly what I'm allowed to do and build on that software without having to consult a license. Licenses like the new Redis one leave me potentially needing to get my own legal advice depending on what I'm building on the software. I don't want to spend my time, energy or money on that stuff!

I do also see these kinds of license trends as harmful to open source generally. It used to be that you could pick an open source project and build a business on it and expect that the project would stay available to you under those well understood terms. That's not the case any more - not just because of Redis, there are a number of other high-profile license rug-pulling projects. I'm sad about that.

(And yes, I do understand and dislike the trend of businesses building on open source without contributing back. There are no clearly correct answers here.)
That's a good question. A quick scan of the literature suggests that in some birds the answer is no.
I believe this is thought to be due to the evolutionary constraints of flying.

"Some seabird species exhibit extremely slow age-related declines in both survival and reproductive output, and even increase reproductive success as they get older. Slow avian senescence is thought to be coupled evolutionarily with delayed maturity and low annual fecundity. " [1]

"Long-term population studies of wild seabirds (e.g. terns, gulls and albatrosses) suggest that these species show little or no decline in reproductive output, even when increasing mortality rates suggest the occurrence of senescence in other systems." [2]
