Event-Driven Patterns for AI Agents
Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos (hEDS) can cause Small Fiber Neuropathy and back pain, as well as poor healing from surgery. It’s also more common in engineering type people, higher IQ, ADHD, anxiety disorder etc

It’s probably the most under-diagnosed condition in general. It’s also autosomal dominant. Can present as psychosomatic - gaslighting from doctors is typical.

It’s a shame more people don’t know about it because there are ways to effectively treat it - it’s an area where patient communities are far ahead of the medical community. So this could be a failure on two fronts, a failure of insurance but even if they had unlimited coverage there still would have been a failure in treatment.

Jobs had two iPhone teams working in secret against each other, and was setting up things on the side. He likely approached Otellini before either team was far along.

Not just regressions, but bugs in general.

If you can reproduce your bug in a test, then verify that your fix causes your test to pass, that's a great way to build confidence before trying out your code in production.

And in fact, this is mentioned in the article as part of maintenance:

> Writing a test first to prove out a bug before you fix it is pretty neat.

My grandfather suffered chronic sciatic nerve pain. My father suffered chronic sciatic nerve pain. Now I, too, suffer chronic sciatic nerve pain.

I wonder why that is?

You have no idea how bad it can get.

No, surely it's made up. Nevermind: how foolish was I...
This case is interesting because Luigi doesn't fit the normal profile of a shooter - he had almost everything going for him. He graduated from a private high school as valedictorian. He went to an Ivy League college to major in Computer Science with a minor in mathematics. He worked as a digital nomad doing data science and surfing. He was attractive, flaunting his abs in photos taken in Hawaii. From most of his online presence, he seems pretty normal.

It seems like this back injury completely derailed his life, leading him down this path towards confrontation with the American healthcare system.
I also like the imperfections in the live versions. They're more human and less plastic that way.

I would buy that a wealthy person would have the anger and the resources to learn how to stalk, make a plan, use a weapon. Poverty is a drain on your mental capacity for nearly everything else besides survival.

Also I don’t doubt that his mother would lack healthcare desperately even when wealthy. Women in pain are one the biggest demographics of denied healthcare. Even extremely wealthy, well-connected women.
My guesses are:

A universe that did that would have too much energy (from the mutual annihilation) once the orders and orders of magnitude of "extra" matter/antimatter interacted to make that likely/possible.

Wouldn't we also see clouds of antimatter just hanging around? What proportion of matter has ever interacted with anything else? My guess is "low".
Is the source code available for free use or is it a paid software offering?
It hinges on what the word “that” in “release that” is referring to. If it’s referring to releasing his name, then he’s implying not releasing his name is a choice which implies they have the option to release it, so they must know it. If it’s referring to releasing whether or not they know his name, then it’s not implying anything. If this was said by someone with a history of well-spoken and thoughtful public statements, then it’d most likely be the latter interpretation. Given it’s Eric Adams, either is plausible. In fact, the bullshit-ness of the former may make it even more probable here.
It's actually not that hard to find them, they just don't take insurance. The prices are not that high if you are not going to be back on a recurring basis.

That's probably because commodification and mass production are far more viable a path towards feeding one's family than is expression of the human condition.
I've used OVH, Scaleway, Linode and Amazon in the past, right now I use a small provider that resells Serverius and Hetzner, none of them ever asked me for my ID and all of them allow usage of VPN to sign up for service. As to payment, at least Amazon used to allow usage of debit cards in the past. Hetzner was the only provider that asked me for an ID. I'm not from the banned countries either.

medical school admissions is such a zero sum pissing contest of schmoozing profs for research positions, building houses for free in africa, grinding academics far past the point where the knowledge is beneficial, sheer perseverence, and sometimes being the right skin colour. the US could 10x the number of residency spots (and therefore med school spots) without significantly diminishing the capability of the incoming class to be good doctors.

(Warning: gross simplification ahead)

Because they don’t make (practically) any money on CD sales, streaming, or radio plays, the record labels do. That one performance is recorded, and they get paid for that performance and the record label owns it. Any time that recording is played, it’s seen as a marketing to sell the album.

The artist makes their money through each live performance, so it makes sense for them to change things up so concert goers have an incentive to see something new.
I don't have sciatic pain, thank God, but I have bulging discs from a spinal compression injury. The first few months were excruciating -- I couldn't exist without horrific pain, no position I could lay in, sit in, stand in, etc., would provide any relief. I couldn't stand fully upright for weeks. And, even post-recovery, the last 2 years haven't exactly been pleasant. I am still managing my lower back on a day-to-day basis but I am primarily pain-free today.

Chronic pain really takes you somewhere else mentally. Now that I am, for the time being, on the other side of it, it has also made me extremely empathetic to people who suffer through it.
Have you tested moving the "reason" field before the "class" field? That may encourage better CoT instead of having the model justify the class after it already picked it. Anecdotally, I saw a 5% boost in performance from a NER system from having the model output the entity's class at the end rather than the beginning.
In Physics, Electromagnetism is one of the fundamental forces of the universe. We see it all around us — when we’re flicking the light switches on, when the fridge door we had just closed shuts tight because of the magnets keeping it in place, or when the CDs we use help us to store data.
The underlying point of the manifesto is that insurers have corrupted medicine itself. Regardless of whether the care would be covered, the doctors were trained to diagnose and treat in a way that isn’t designed to cure, but to “care.” Sure, she had visits and specialists and diagnoses and it was largely incompetent, because incompetent doctors are cheap in a system where inaction has no real consequence.
The issue these folks have most of the time is that they fail to keep their info up to date. Do that.

That it works for the top 0.1% of musicians demonstrates literally nothing about what the effects are for musicians in general. This is like saying that because Stephen King makes good money, writers are fine. It is a willful misunderstanding of reality.

The reality is that things have gotten much tougher for working musicians in general.

Radial arm saws vanished because they were a compromise solution that slider miters made inferior. They are pretty safe as the blade is constrained to travel along the arm for cross cuts and for rips is locked in place. The usual problem is simply stalling the saw. Rip cuts can definitely kick back if you don’t take the time to set them up right including the guard and anti kickback device. They can do it all, cross cut, compound miter, rip, dado. There were some sketchy shaping attachments I’d be hesitant to use. But the main problem is they are large as a big table saw and the changeover time. A table saw and sliding miter is the way to go now. But I still own a radial and if I had the space in my shop would set it up Norm Abram style.

Peanut butter and mayonnaise both often have added sugar in the United States. You can find brands without but they're less common.
I think most of what you said is on the mark, but the core problem is still what the providers are charging. I wouldn't worry so much about in/out-of-network or claim denials, and might not even worry about having insurance coverage at all, if: a 90-minute ER visit (even for a false alarm) didn't cost $10k; or if one night in the hospital (just for observation and a couple blood tests) didn't cost $50k; or if anything actually serious didn't cost hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
Jury nullification!
But the system is set up so that, more and more, they're competing for scraps. Shouldn't we incentivize making good art, rather than just becoming a superstar?
Does it matter?

The point is, the NYPD was compiling evidence for the media to release. Part of that evidence nobody had included:

- the original surveillance video of the murder

- the video capture of him at the hostel (with his mask down)

- the video capture of him inside the cab after the murder with his mask

Without a decent photo, he probably would still be on the run. Had it not been for the NYPD releasing the images of him, the patron or employee would not have recognized him and called the cops.

The cops were closing in on him regardless. The photos being so widely circulated were a primary reason he got caught. He was probably forced to try and wear a mask to conceal his identity, but at the same time, doing so made me stick out enough that they called the cops.

Then they take your money and, based on the Billboard charts, decide that statistically all of this money goes to Taylor Swift, regardless of what song you were actually playing.

(They don't ask us what songs were actually played, and we couldn't really tell them if they did.)

Unbelievably, ASCAP's slogan is "We Create Music". They do not create music, they create lawsuits. The only service they offer is, "You pay me whatever I ask, or I sue you". They provide the same service as in that Sopranos episode where Patsy and Burt try to extort a Starbucks. It's just a shakedown. It's just some wiseguy saying to you, "Here's your cigarette machine, there's going to be $500 a week in it, capisce?"

[…]

You might wonder how they get to that number. Is it all just arbitrary capriciousness? Yes:

BMI: They take your official fire department capacity and multiply it by the number of days you are open per week, and by some dollar amount. Actual attendance does not factor in. That dollar amount is higher if you ever charge admission, higher still if you have DJs, and even higher if you have live music! That's right, they charge you more when bands are playing their own songs. Oh, and of course there's the Footloose tax: it's even higher if you allow dancing. Or if you have a jukebox. (A jukebox!)
ASCAP: I don't remember and I can't figure it out, but I think it is roughly the same nonsense that BMI does.
SESAC: This one is based on capacity times days open per week, then multiplied by vibes. Also does not take attendance into account.
GMR: This one is based on gross revenue times 0.15%. So if you play the same song at an event with a $10 ticket, and at one with a $30 ticket, sometimes that song is worth three times as much.

[…]

Over in one corner: the entire streaming industry, paying nothing. And over in the other corner: small rooms like mine, providing that which is in actuality the only way for many bands to make any money at all, that is, by giving them a stage to play on in support of their t-shirt sales business. Because, yes, the way you make money as a band is to actually be a garment retailer.

I know that Jimi Hendrix seems to live on and on as his estate finds alternate cuts of his songs and releases album after album. They seem to have done well with this, but only pursued it out of desperation after he died.

Do you not find it enjoyable to hear live performances of a song because it's different than the radio edit? Why not take more advantage of that?
If this is a vendetta, the goal was achieved and there was nothing more to do. He had to give himself two goals, the vendetta and not get caught, which is more difficult than one goal. A hired killer would pursue both goals routinely as a mean to stay in business but not an amateur and anyway not as effectively.

From Wikipedia:
>Elite overproduction is a concept developed by Peter Turchin that describes the condition of a society that is producing too many potential elite members relative to its ability to absorb them into the power structure.[1][2][3] This, he hypothesizes, is a cause for social instability, as those left out of power feel aggrieved by their relatively low socioeconomic status.

Im focusing on the USA, where engineers, STEM, and the like have high social standing, and do relatively well economically. Your "scholarship on the subject" is from 2007 and is from before the term elite overproduction was even coined.

For the rest of your comment, at this point I'd rather have an argument with a dining room table. No shit you can't have comments in package.json now, that's the entire reason that issue https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4482 is unfixable. If JSON supported comments from the beginning, then tooling would have to respect that, just like the bajillion other config file formats that support tooling that updates the config file programmatically.

Yes. I'm a co-founder of a Second Hand Clothing Start Up - https://streetgarms.co.uk/. We sell second hand streetwear from brands like Supreme, Palace and The North Face through our own website, and we've achieved top seller status on Depop while working toward power seller status on eBay.

The second hand clothing market is booming, particularly with Gen Z having a fundamentally different attitude toward pre-owned clothing compared to older generations. We've bootstrapped from just 3 items to over 1,500 in 4 years.
Some interesting challenges we've faced:

- Scale is particularly difficult in this space
- Finding software solutions for automation is challenging - Depop's API is - severely limited
- Managing thousands of unique SKUs with single-unit inventory creates complex operational issues

Overall it's a solid business in a rapidly growing sector. Coming from a tech background, I'm fascinated to see how the scaling dynamics here differ from typical tech startups. The unit economics and operational complexity create an interesting contrast to pure software businesses.
