5:30 wake up, dress and walk to the gym, workout, shower at the gym.

7:20 walk back home, walk the kids to school (at 7am my wife woke them up and prepare breakfast for them, she workouts in the evenings)

8:15 back home, unload dishwasher, breakfast with wife.

9:00 start working from home
Wake up around 8:30a. Make a pitcher of iced tea with 3 tea bags (no sugar or sweetener) for consumption throughout the day. Have a bowl of overnight oatmeal from the fridge. Weightlift in the garage for 1 hour. Come back and have a protein shake and supplements. Then start working from home around 12 (start working on my hobbies when unemployed like woodworking, metalworking, 3D modeling).
The general point makes sense, the GM is has a lot of social power and there are risks to publicly calling them out on anything really.

But I'm having a hard time imagining this specific example. What would be an example of political ideology from the GM that you'd want to block?
Excellent comment, succinctly summarizing how a systems thinking perspective translates the monster of health care in a large system of interconnected parts, each with its own stakeholders. Trying to change a single part triggers a reaction from everyone.

Tough ecosystem to change. But, at the same time, seems to be the one needing change the most.
Gamma-ray bursts: what do we know today that we did not know 10 years ago?
You're trying to disprove the political slogan, which is obviously rhetoric. "The only way to X is Y" is generally going to be false because absolutist statements in general are going to be false.

The real question is, for example, does prohibiting school staff from having firearms make it better or worse? Which is pretty hard to measure when there is a federal law against it. But a point in favor of "better" is that senseless mass shootings tend to happen disproportionately in schools and other places where the shooter knows nobody else is allowed to be armed.
Blanket black-and-white statements about what will or won’t ‘solve’ gun violence can only exist in oversimplified worlds that conflate causes, catalysts, prerequisites, cultural influences, economics, etc. If anybody is expecting one sphere of concern— e.g socioeconomic equality, bans, mental health treatment, draconian sentences for violent crimes, etc.— to essentially resolve the issue to the exclusion of all others, then nothing will ever look like it’s going to work because it’s not one problem. It’s not even one symptom. Street gang violence, criminal cartel violence, and mass killings by extremists are serious problems with very different root causes that express themselves in very different ways. It’s also totally disingenuous to say their having a common tool is inconsequential, or that the same approach to addressing that makes sense everywhere, or that taking away the rights of people with different values is an inconsequential concern. You can’t solve all problems at once, and dismissing one approach out-of-hand because you can cite problems it won’t solve and assert all sorts of assumed negative effects without any evidence is nothing more than avoidance.
Probably a lot.

> The laboratory found that the card contained only a standard radio frequency ID tag of the type used in stores to prevent shoplifting. According to the laboratory's Dr. Markus Kuhn, it was "impossible" for the card to detect anything and it had "absolutely nothing to do with the detection of TNT". The card could not be programmed, had no memory, no microprocessor and no form of information could be stored on it. Despite the high cost of the devices, the cards were worth only about two to three pence (3–5¢) each. Kuhn commented: "These are the cheapest bit of electronics that you can get that look vaguely electronic and are sufficiently flat to fit inside a card." The "card reader" was found to be an empty plastic box.
And the notable exception that they cost 1.5x as much for the same capabilities.
The conversion factors for private insurance are 2–3x those of Medicare. There's plenty of room to lower costs. Either private insurance companies aren't interested in lowering costs or their claims process is so arduous that providers demand higher rates to deal with the high rate of denials and ever changing minutiae.

Providers are not the problem here.

It’s a nice soundbite, but not really accurate to describe US economic history as a process of wealth transfer to the ultra-rich. Everyone has gotten wealthier over time, it’s just that the wealth of the rich has increased even faster than everyone else’s.

My routine has been more in flux during November and December since we took a week of vacation, then had the holidays, and have been fighting colds.

Yes, purely radiating away heat might be tough. That said, 400 years at 2% is more than a factor of 2,500 - I'd expect some quite substantial changes to go with that as far as industry and society are concerned. For example, a lot more energy use might not be waste heat but creation of stuff or waste being high energy energetic radiation.

Wake up at 8.

Take the dog out (she does her business quickly, it doesn't take more than 5 minutes and then she's the one pulling to go home) and feed her.

Put the moka on the stove (the moka has been prepared the previous night), and while I wait (and then while drinking coffee and eating something sweet) play my usual list of light games (wordle, framed, strands, bandle (if the lady is up, since we play this one together, otherwise I'll wait for her to play it later)), go to the bathroom to do my business and wash up.

At 8.30 I sit at my computer to start work.

I check my mail, chats, see if there's any ticket that requires my attention, then the meetings start and the usual day of work begins.

"someone in their 50's or 60's that has pre-existing conditions" should not be naive enough to believe your nonsense about seeing doctors right away. No matter what you need, it's always a referral to a specialist, and they are generally booking out months in advance. One or two months is a good wait time here.

Also "grandma" is on Medicare, if not completely then as the primary payer (supplement) or at least benefiting from the negotiating/regulations (medicare advantage).

(and just for perspective here, I'm actually not a big proponent of single payer as the main reform. the problem is that discussing any type of reform has been absolutely paralyzed by nonsense talking points to entrench the status quo)
They literally don't.
If you seriously think it's possible, than you yourself should be worried a lot -- the last thing the West needs is even stronger China with its enormous industrial base and control of Siberian resources.

I did not, but probably I did not phrase correctly:

PIV, GnuPG, or PKCS#15 are probably better comparisons. SIM cards use symmetric cryptography, which means you can only authenticate yourself to a single entity.
That's not convincing to me. If you say some problem "doesn't exist", I need an argument which makes a compelling case for that, which presents some kind of dissolution.
That's true, but another part of the tables show how many "ports" the operation can be executed on, which is enough information to concluded an operation is pipelined.

For example, for many years Intel chips had a multiplier unit on a single port, with a latency of 3 cycles, but an inverse throughput of 1 cycle, so effectively pipelined across 3 stages.

In any case, I think uops.info [1] has replaced Agner for up-to-date and detailed information on instruction execution.

These settings worked, thanks!

After testing Ghostty out for a while, though, I've realized that input lag is higher than xfce4-terminal, font rendering is blurrier with equivalent settings, the UI is still less consistent with my desktop, and it has three to four times the memory footprint on top of all that. Since xfce4-terminal is already using native GTK, so there's nothing gained on that front.

Disabling the UI cruft just turns it into a less performant version of Xterm, so unfortunately, this is going to be an uninstall for me.

The Crushing Complexity of the GPL3
Nobody, not this article or any other reasonable person, thinks that claim denial is the reason healthcare is expensive. Rather, they think it is fundamentally fraudulent that someone can pay their premiums, etc. and then when they need treatment, be arbitrarily denied by an in-house doctor employed by their insurer to deny treatment.

This is a story of the fraud in the health insurance industry, not the racket part of the industry.

Fedi-E2EE Public Key Directory Specification Reaches v0.1
> No one knows how much copyright abuse occurs on YouTube. According to YouTube, about 6 percent of removals from July to December 2023 were abusive, along with 10 times more attempted abusive removals. But if a significant number of users never flag abuse—out of fear they could be sued for contributing to copyright infringement—then the true figure could be higher.

Sounds like the YouTuber won a DMCA fight with YouTube, as well.
West coast VCs and technocrats are seeking autonomy and control vs being subjected to nation state regulation and regulators with authority over traditional finance. East coast will remain the center of traditional finance (NYC but Miami is growing into this), hence the chase of blockchain and crypto. If you can’t beat them, you build your own.

Very similar to how StarLink terms state Mars will be self governing when Elon gets there, and how he uses his wealth today to control and project power. Once you have enough wealth, all that’s left to chase and hoard is power and status.
I think any decent company would be using LLMs through an interface, so they can swap out providers, same as any API.

decentralization is not some magical binary property. Real world systems can be more, or less, decentralized.

To start with, yes banking giants exists but everyone finds this undesirable to a certain extent and regulators would object if suddenly eg elon musk decided to buy out goldman and chase.

banks are highly regulated and enjoy completely different economies than email. Banks of the same nation are often legally required to be interoperable with others. Yes, there are still big players and you can eg get sanctioned by the US - which is why BRIC countries are working on alternative banking networks.

with banks, most jurisdictions would disallow a merger of two large banks specifically from decentralization considerations - guess what would happen if two email providers merge? exactly nothing.

With email, if gmail decide to ban you, you are unable to communicate with 90% of people with no recourse. A support engineer can decide to ban you on a whim and besides crying on social media, you can’t do much.

With banks, you need a large and powerful nation to tell other banks not to play with you, and you can contest this decision legally.

Most importantly, with banking money is the product and every transaction brings revenue, so there’s a strong incentive to cooperate. With email - and AP - cooperation incurs a cost on all parties instead and benefits are distributed and vague in monetary terms.

Finally, banks are required to deal with you as a customer - provided you meet certain requirements. An email provider can ban you for no reason and your only recourse is arbitration.

Compare to bitcoin. Will you still be calling it decentralized when one pool controls 90% of compute (i don’t think this can really happen tbh as there are disincentives to go 51% without abusing the network)?

Don’t get me wrong AP sure feels in the right direction compared to eg FB. Just on the principle of being able to run it completely in your own. However it would be nice if whatever new alternative that grew popular treated users, rather than providers, democratically.

> SQLite is not open source in the legal sense, as “open source” has a specific definition and requires licenses approved by the Open Source Initiative (OSI).

This is wrong, and harmfully wrong. OSI are not the arbiters of open source. Their Open Source Definition, though generally useful and accepted, is not without legitimate criticism and controversy. As for their approval, that’s a dreadful thing to rely on for any purpose; <https://writing.kemitchell.com/2019/05/05/Rely-on-OSI.html> is a good description of most of what’s wrong with it (it doesn’t really get into the broken politics enough; but some of his other articles contain more), and I like its summary: “The list of OSI-approved licenses reflects OSI’s practical and political history, not any useful, consistently functional category of license terms.”

As for whether SQLite is open source, well, the only reason a public domain dedication doesn’t meet the OSD is that it’s not a license. It’s more open. In a way that is legally mildly uncertain in some jurisdictions, sure, but to call it “not open source in the legal sense” is just wrong.
I mean, the company has never really said how their systems worked. It's basically left the users/scanned with the impression that it's magic. It seems to me that it's basically some of 3D metal detection paired with cameras. It would be cool to understand how they make it work, but I guess it's a trade secret. They haven't readily put up numbers about false positive rates, and even less data about false negatives. I get the impression that this relies heavily on placebo effect - "they have scanners so I better not try to take my weapon in".

The federal government already
pays (either directly, for Medicare and Tricare) or indirectly (Medicaid) around 45% of healthcare expenditures in the United States, and regulates nearly every aspect of healthcare delivery in some form or fashion.

There’s an awful lot of small-government posturing that goes on, but it is not accurate to say our system is the result of a small government approach.

To provide just one concrete example: in the 80s, we had problems with hospitals “dumping” indigent patients. In some cases, they would literally take homeless people who showed up needing medical attention to some random part of town and drop them off on the side of the road.

Naturally, there was public outrage about this. Demands that it stop.

There are, of course, many ways a society could address this problem: a single payer system, a nationwide indigent care fund, etc.

Here’s what we did: as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, the federal government stipulated that any hospital which accepts Medicare/Medicaid[0] and which operates an emergency department must provide “stabilizing care” to anyone who shows up at that emergency department with an "Emergency Medical Condition" before inquiring about the patient’s ability to pay[1].

This law did not stipulate that those hospitals, or the doctors who practice at those hospitals, be reimbursed in any way for providing that stabilizing care, just that they provide it.

Naturally, doctors and hospitals consider this an example of a heavy handed government engaging in cost-shifting. CMS countered with a paper written by one of their economists that what they do here is not technically “cost-shifting” for reasons.

Hospitals now employ staff to get uninsured patients who qualify for Medicaid signed up so they’ll get paid.

(I haven’t seen stats on this in several years, but the last numbers I saw were that around half of US hospitals lose money on an operating basis. They make up the balance in the gift shop, cafeteria, endowment if they are lucky enough to have one, local taxes, or bankruptcy court.)

0 - that’s basically “all hospitals”

1 - the actual rules are more complex, but that’s the gist of it
