How about only put things in food that are contributing to the actual food? It's not just nutritional value, it's absolutely taste and texture as well. But visuals? Surely you can agree the balance of "is it worth it" is different for the color of a fruity loop than for nutritional value and taste.

You're correct that the "acceptable" line needs to be somewhere because risk isn't absolute, but that line can be in different places for different purposes. (And you can't just write off all cancer concerns because some of them probably aren't legitimate.)
I can attest to this exact same scenario with my children and their schools. I observed both types: the parents who immediately entered the school combative towards administration (not looking to collaborate on a solution, just shouting loudly to "fix it"), and parents who spent time engaging with administration towards a description of the problem and ideas for resolving them.

That being said, there are and were definitely limits to what public schools can do. They are resource strapped, procedurally constrained, often fighting their own political bureaucratic battles within the school districts, and even within the academic departments.

We ended up leaving the public school for those reasons, and could not be happier.

My observation was: public schools have become much like enterprises, and private schools tend to be more like startups. The public school has so much inertia and tends to have "guardrails" and policies to keep even bad administrations functioning, but at the cost of exceptionalism and performance. Private schools have less of this, and more direct accountability.

You absolutely can have a private school that doesn't educate better than a public school, but I'd argue at least one of two things happen:
1) the school fails to attract student, and closes.. or
2) the school focus shifts away from education to other priorities (e.g., social status, culture, or sports), relegating academics to a secondary role.
I think this is a statistical artifact. Medicare preferentially selects the cohort of customers most likely to demand services from providers (that's the premise of the program). Fixed fees in, floating costs out. If you extended Medicare to 30 year olds, that 2% would, mechanically, soar; the same inputs from customers, but drastically lower service delivery.
Good indices are built atop a taxonomy that is then used extensively to list related taxonomic terms. This will give you direct hierarchical terms (loosely maps to what I guess you refer to as by subject) but also related terms. A good indexer will also exercise judgement and check with the author if certain terms are related and in what way.

Let me give you an example of a high-quality index entry from the Software Architecture in Practice (Bass et al. 2021) [1]:

Availability

analytic model space, 259

analyzing, 255–259

As you see, it lists a number of taxonomic terms that are merely related to each other and you might not think about Ctrl+F-ing for them unless you already want to search for them. You may come to this entry knowing about CAP and navigate away to analytic model space, 259.

I'm not sure about UHC specifically, but insurance companies do innovate. Some insurers have invested pretty heavily in biotech and wearables, and they're also a big driver behind telehealth/remote health monitoring tech. We can cynically say that they're just in it because they want to reduce costs – and that's probably true – but it'd be simplistic to say investing to reduce costs is purely selfish.

I rather wanted to say that it's easier said than done. You can't just tell teenagers "stop using social media, it's bad for you". Because if their peers use social media, then they need to use social media as well.

I'm all for removing social media altogether.
Assuming that your numbers are correct:

You eliminate ~1.2% of total healthcare spending on private insurance profits.

Then you eliminate ~37% of ~14% of ~27% total healthcare spending on insurance labor costs = ~1.5%.

* Article states medicare is ~37% more efficient.

* Insurance companies are required to spend AT LEAST 80% of premiums on actual patient care (~6% of the remaining ~20% are profits - already taken out in the previous ~1.2% of total health care spending).

* ~27% of total US healthcare spending is on private insurance premiums.

You end up with ~2.7% cheaper healthcare in the ABSOLUTE best case.

That's not moving the needle.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri:

"As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."
We did this in high school. I kept forgetting what I had to bring for all my textbook-based classes each day or what I had to bring home, so I simply carried ~50lb of stuff everywhere. That's ok cause I got swol. Some kids said this was dumb, but they forgot stuff too.

One of the more insidious versions of this is the static thresholds for things like "a suspiciously large amount of cash", which are not inflation adjusted, causing them to effectively shrink over time. A $10K cash travel limit established by the Bank Secrecy Act in 1970 would be over $80K in 2025 dollars. The law is structured so that the net is constantly tightening by default.
> It shows that the US never had a world war on the continent. All the other countries treat health care as a matter of national security.

You seem to be making a weird connection here, but maybe I misunderstand you.

Are you truly suggesting that countries who have socialized health care do so because they've been affected by war on their territory at some point?
I've thought about this a lot too and my guess is that because foundational modals take a lot to train, I don't think they are trained fairly often, and from my experiences you can't train in new data easily, so I think you'd have to have some little up to date side system, and I suspect they're very thoughtful about these "side systems" they place, from trying to build some agent orchestration stuff myself nothing ends up being as simple as as I expect with "side systems" and stuff easily goes off the rails. So my thought was probably, given the scale they're dealing with, this is probably a low priority not actually particularly easy feature.
It seems to me like centralized governments have had a rise that whether impressive or just typical of an average country, was thought to be impossible for them.

Aside from very occasional drops into printing, I exclusively write in cursive. Once you get proficient you can write very fast with cursive -- regardless of the pen/pencil. Can other people read my writing? Yes, if I slow down. But if it's notes for me, then I can go easily double the speed I have with printing and it feels as "seamless" as touch typing.
I agree, but I feel this is a bit rich coming from Mastodon which is notorious for depending on a load of custom ActivityPub extensions for server to server operation, and just having an entirely separate REST API not based on any open standards (beyond JSON/HTTP) for its client to server comms.

I used to run a non-Mastodon Activity Pub server and it never really worked. There’s a reason why everyone just uses Mastodon, at which point who cares if there’s an open protocol.
But has everything to do with the need to take a closer look at the entire system and how we can do things better.

I feel like focusing on this part of my comment vs. the bum deal part is disingenuous since non-US countries have figured out how to do it for cheaper with better outcomes without the main focus being the up and to the left drive for profit that our current system mandates.
I have yet to see this line pushed by anyone that doesn't view dysfunctional classrooms as indicative of what the average student would do. So, fair that I am maybe letting my experience there color my thoughts here.

My main nitpick is that that wity quip at the end is not even wrong. Not all values are population weighted, such that you can certainly have some skills where over half of the population is over what you would call average ability.

There is `cargo-deny` that handles some enforcement: https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/cargo-deny. Doesn't handle authors, but I suspect it's easy to add?

Supply chain harderning is pretty easy in rust: caro-deny, cargo-suply-chain, cargo-crev, cargo-vet, cargo-{s}bom and probably a few more I can't remember.
Your third point intrigues me a lot. I imagine for the majority of cases, it's generally more useful to work with async functions in the structure of async syntax, but I suppose it's possible to run async functions in a synchronous pipeline.

Even though there's currently no built-in support for this, a workaround could be to just define synchronous helper functions to handle running your async logic in an event loop.
I suppose it depends on how you think of free speech:

1. Free speech means I should be able to say anything (or in this case vote in any manner) that's legal, and that's the only consideration.

2. Free speech is a foundation for a higher level goal of a society that also values etiquette, respect, and discretion.

(Obviously, social media doesn't have to be the only cause. But something is producing a material difference and it's hard to say social media isn't a leading one.)

> All of my kid’s sixth grade friends have smartphones

My condolences. I agree that it's too late once you hit a tipping point and a critical mass of their friends have smartphones. At that point you have to fall back to weaker backup defenses like parental controls and limiting screen time. The point of Wait Until 8th is to provide a little more time to let them form their own self-image and build up their ability to manage their attention and information diet.

> Do you really think you can predict your kids future friends correctly and lobby the correct set of parents during kindergarten years?

Instead of trying to predict the "correct" set you can just lobby everyone. Our public school has about a hundred kids per grade from K through 8th. Parents bring it up not just at school pickup but on playdates, the local listserv, the PTO newsletter, when new families move to the neighborhood, etc.

Apparently several older grades have managed to hold the line such that most kids in that grade didn't have smartphones until high school, and many didn't even have smartwatches or dumbphones.

> the Nixon Shock was the force supplying the tension

More than the aftermath of the 1967 Six-Day War?

> From OPEC's perspective they were facing declining revenues due to dollar inflation

The real price of oil declined from 1948 until July 1973 [1]. You'd be hard pressed to find the Nixon shock on the international price of oil; it monotonically declined from January 2021 until July 1973. Bretton Woods ended on 15 August 1971; on 17 October 1973 OPEC embargoed the U.S.

> OPEC decided they'd had enough

OPEC cut production in 1973 and raised prices on everyone. They kept pricing their oil in dollars and selling it for dollars because this wasn't a dispute about dollars or Bretton Woods, it was a dispute over Israel between King Faisal and Nixon.

Unfortunately this has just been the reality over the last couple years. People just ignore the hallucination problem (or try to say it isn't a big deal). And yet we have seen time and time again examples of these models being given something, told to summarize it, and still hallucinate important details. So you can't even make the argument that its data is flawed or something.

These models will interject information from their training whether or it is relevant or not. This is just due to the nature of how these models work.

Anyone trying to argue that it doesn't happen that often or anything is missing the key problem. Sure it may be right most of the time, but all that does is build a false sense of security and eventually you stop double checking or clicking through to a source. Whether it is a search result, manipulating data, or whatever.

This is made infinitely worse when these summaries are one and done, a single user is going to see the output and no one else will see it to fact check. It isn't like an article being wrong that everyone reading it is reading the same article, can then comment that something is wrong, it get updated, and so on and so forth. That feedback loop is non-existent with these models
Let me be more explicit about my point. I believe RFK genuinely wants to promote healthy living, and I agree with that. But Trump requires loyalty to be part of his inner circle and forcing RFK to eat mcds is getting RFK to prove that loyalty. RFK obviously hated eating that burger. My point is, if he’s willing to compromise his values for access to power does he really prioritize his values or does he prioritize access to power?

No “gotcha”, I’m not a partisan. I don’t like Trump but there are a few things he’s done I like, but even with those I often don’t like HOW he did it. For example Greenland, I think that’s great for USs long term prospects (shipping routes), but to say military action is on the table is reckless. Not every criticism is a gotcha, and just because I disagree with 90% of what RFK believes doesn’t mean I don’t think his commitment to healthy eating is good. Maybe that you read a criticism as an absolute indictment of someone shows you have more purity tests than what you criticize.
