You’re forgetting about 2 decades of US DoE funding of EUV research through EUV-LLC which ASML joined late. A lot of the early groundwork and foundational research was done by DoE including using US built synchrotron accelerators to try out various early approaches.

> they're also a big driver behind telehealth/remote health monitoring tech

Until COVID, insurers in my area wouldn't cover telehealth at all. They opposed it tooth and nail.
I personally never used any of these things back when I was a student
I know you're not exactly serious, but to answer anyway: McMurdo isn't near this flight path, it's at New Zealand's longitude (so 2000 miles east of Australia) and much farther south. Perth would be the closest airport for almost all of that flight path.

(Your core point is correct, this trajectory is about as remote as SpaceX can possibly get, even if it's near a small number of flights. Let's not extend NIMBYism to space and ban SpaceX from everywhere.)
I'm going to go ahead and defend them because private insurance is actually far from the most broken thing about US healthcare, yet they seem to shoulder all the blame.

Average health insurance profit margin in US is ~3%. That's not a greedy profit margin. It's the health care that's expensive, not the insurance. Health care is much more expensive in the US than in similar countries. I'm not an expert on why, but there are all sorts of misaligned incentives on IP and drug pricing that need to be fixed. It's not the insurers.
Is the storm going to be just as impotent and worthless as the ACA was?

Ultimately ACA resulted in high-deductible plans and the current situation, despite temporarily insuring a higher percentage of the population.

The next solution needs to account for these factors. Will it?
One surprising thing is that the only state to sue Change/United is Nebraska. Where are the states that typically go further in protecting consumers, like California? Shouldn’t they be fining them for gross misconduct? I can’t think of something more negligent than leaking 100 million patients’ medical records due to a lack of two factor authentication.
I think they meant that they'd dated in the past, but hadn't seen each other in many years.

Still bold.
I was hesitant to open the link, thought it was a rick-roll. I've been working on the other downloaders, and I guess YouTube is one of the most used platforms, a lot of people are asking me to fix the youtube-downloader, I think I'll start working on that, thanks for bringing it up.
And that paywall is so annoying... As it is further down the page you don't realize it's paywalled and have time to get immersed in the story before you get stopped abruptly.
This is quite an amazing accomplishment from a benchmark perspective. But what's the difference between a RAG agent and a normal agent?

The most disheartening part of this ban is that it’s just about the only thing the government can agree on. IMO Mitt Romney slipped the truth in saying:
“Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians, relative to other social media sites — it's overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts."

TikTok is the first and just about the only place I’ve seen content about corporate greed, the accelerating disappearance of the middle class and the real downstream effects of US foreign policy that hasn’t been whitewashed.

The ball is in China’s court now, if they can provide a space where this class consciousness can continue to grow they’ll easily get equal/better (though I think magnitudes greater) returns than Russia’s recent social campaigns.
I am not saying anything about "worth of a person", I don't believe it is even a thing.

All I know that children (and many adults too) do similar thing that their peers do. So if I want to increase the chance that my child will graduate from high school, they should be around people who will graduate from high school. Similarly, if no one in their class will go to college, the chances they will go to college will be smaller.

Note there are exception to the each rule, and I am talking about "chances", not certainties.
I think it is Covid and the handling of it set many people in the libertarian sphere off on a very troubling tangent - after all what had to be done to prevent it from repeating the 1918 flu ran completely antithetical to most core beliefs of libertarianism. That's why the essay starts off right with Covid IMHO. Add on top of that his daughter coming out as trans, that's when he went so far off the rails that it was impossible to prevent the derailment - unfortunately the rest of the article is paywalled without a bypass I don't have but it would not surprise me at all if that episode also gets mentioned.

And it's not just the libertarians / the (far) right, by the way - they just get more public attention. I have seen cases of similar escalations into conspiracy theories also among the far-left during Covid - from both anarchists as well as, curiously, tankies. Anarchists no surprise, for similar reasons as the libertarians, but the amount of tankies who went off the rocker is what I don't get given that they are among the strongest proponents of an authoritarian state doing whatever it deems to be best for the people.
Semi-trucks have an outsized impact. I recall some reporting years ago that claimed our roads would last significantly longer were it not for the commercial trucks
I would call it "schooliosis" if I were you.
I never understood why health care had to be so tightly coupled to employment. All it does is tie people down, obfuscate costs, and give insurance companies more leverage over everyone, companies and employees alike.
Has anyone else publicly copied the Hindenburg investigation/financial model? It's not proprietary AFAIK.
The army of middlemen the doctors and hospitals need to hire to deal with the insurance companies adds a lot to healthcare costs in the US. Not to mention the armies of middlemen hired by the insurance companies themselves.

While every healthcare system has administrators, the US system with its thousands of different systems interacting with thousands of other individuals makes for a nightmarishly complex problem. Doctors in countries with socialized medicine complain about the government administrators too, but at least they only have one system to deal with.
>"Average" people are the norm, the reality that "not average" people will have to deal with for the rest of their lives.

> Learning how to co-exist with people who aren't like you is a universally valuable experience, especially for people who would fashion themselves as "not average."

Context is /everything/.

Dealing with "average" people as an adult means dealing with them under the boundaries, strictures, customs, and etiquette of adults in your society enforced, in some sense at least, by laws, and with people are are, at least in theory, bound to serve and protect who will come to your aid when those boundaries are broken.

Dealing with "average" people (really just the lowest quintile cause all the problems) for me in school resulted in multiple fractures, trips for stitches, and ultimately /my expulsion/ from one school district because I had the gall to hit back rather than just let some kid beat me to death while a teacher watched and did nothing.

I've been accused of all manner of things in other comment threads for my ardent desire to protect my children from what you think of as "average", and I'll happily take your words and savor them because it means my children will never be beaten, robbed, see a dead body at a bus stop on their way home for school, or any of the other horrible shit that happened to me because I had to be surrounded by the "average".

The entire point of my own economic mobility and gaining wealth was to create a better future for my children, and that /very much/ includes their education. You can take your exposure to the "average" a.k.a. unnecessary torture and shove it.
Admittedly not a ground war, but that's not entirely true:

It’s not obvious to me this story would have reached you and me with the same strength, allowing us to talk together here
<3 thanks for calling out what I missed. I didn't realize you were supporting an earlier comment on the chain.
Not quite. Not a big fan of analogies of questionable fit, but let's try:

It is quite disheartening to see a comment about importance of horse shoes being downvoted. In professional blacksmith shops, horse shoeing is a job done by a qualified farrier and not as trivial as one may think. The importance of horseshoeing for horse wellbeing is also highlighted in certain key equestrian literature.
If you believe that, you should have a bigger problem with what providers bill, because that's the ultimate origin of the constraints.
We use them pretty heavily in realtime collaborative editing libraries for text. Ie, text CRDTs. In diamond types, merging a branch into another branch requires (essentially) replaying a whole lot of edit operations. Using a rope makes that fast.
No, the answer is that I should never have to think about whether a coworker uses spaces vs tabs. That's a sign that either your text editor/IDE is misconfigured or that your project needs a tool like Prettier.

Also it was a joke. I just thought using the concept of religion might make people consider the spiritual side of a profession that is otherwise mechanical. But no worries. Jokes are always funniest when you're forced to explain them, right?
This is why we need to install National Health Care. Single payer systems get the best rate, and we can make a national decision over how much we can afford. The current system is insane and unsustainable.
The more revenue an insurer brings in, the larger that 15% slice of the pie. The fact that they have a capped MLR is beside the point.
Kaiser Permanente, Providence Health, all the insurers in the BCBS franchise except Elevance, and many others are non profit.

Yet they are unable to provide lower premiums than UNH/Elevance/CVS/Cigna/Humana/Centene/Molina.

Kaiser is a full vertical, you buy insurance from them, you see their doctors and nurses in their outpatient clinics and hospitals, you get medicine from their pharmacies. So why is everyone not choosing Kaiser?

Edit to respond to below since posting limit hit:

UNH had $371B in revenue, not profit, therefore it is irrelevant. If the claim is UNH is excessively profiting, then profit margin is the only metric relevant to the discussion.

Kaiser's managed care organization IS non profit, so it is relevant here. It clearly shows that the managed care portion of the business is not sucking out outlier amounts of profit, because Kaiser's premiums are not different to UNH or any other MCO's premiums. Also, Kaiser's annual revenue is $100B or so, not $4B.

https://about.kaiserpermanente.org/news/press-release-archiv...

If a managed care organizations being for profit or non profit was the straw that was breaking the camel's back, then it would show up as non profit managed care organizations being able to offer much lower premiums.

>say that for profit is the way to go because if Kaiser can't do it then nobody can.

I am not claiming for profit is the way to go (or the opposite). I am saying, within the confines of the US healthcare system, for profit managed care organizations are not THE source of higher healthcare costs.
Not wanting to make a big deal of it why not plot male and female on the same chart instead of needing us to infer the ratios from mental arithmetic? What motivated calling male GPs anyway?

I would be inclined to agree with you, the issues is related to the healthcare vastly overcharging for basic acts such as giving simple drugs such as ibuprofen or paracetemol.
I disagree, and I find an even more vocal, even smaller group seems very invested in making sure people know who exactly we need to throw to the fascists to make them finally stop being fascists.
And billing us 4x more for it than Europeans, and, further: a lot of that work is wasteful and unnecessary (see: spinal fusion surgeries, back imaging). There were more MRI machines in Massachusetts in 2023 than there where in all of Canada.
Athena – An actual useful assistant, an autonomous general AI agent and beyond
What I believe has broken in the US, UK and is well on the way to breaking in Australia, is the confidence that principles will win over greed. If you believe there is a critical mass of good principled people who will stand against selfishness, then being principled is a smart choice. If you do not have that belief, being principled feels like a foolish extravagance. As many have said before, it's got to the point people have more faith in a zombie apocalypse than in citizens cooperating for their own common good.
Something like "distributed cache" is valid jargon. I already conceded that it can be useful. But the majority of it (by raw numbers) is the kind of stuff of the OP is lampooning -- business and office jargon. Of course there is plenty of scientific and mathematical jargon that's legitimate shorthand.

Even there, however, the line blurs. That is, you have terms with legitimate use that were poorly chosen. Sometimes the poor choice is historical accident, but often it's motivated by a desire to sound more impressive and complicated that it is. Something like "applicative functor" might fall into this category.
OK, we've changed the URL to that above. Thanks!

Submitted URL was https://indiandefencereview.com/in-2009-sweden-chose-to-repl.... The same story (and even the same article text) shows up on a bunch of other sites too: https://www.google.com/search?q=Sweden%20is%20investing%20%E.... Usually it's pretty easy to sift out the blogspam and find the original but I was at a loss in this case.
The profit margin is just the shareholders' cut though.

What about the CEO salary? What about his secretary? The rent they pay for the buildings they occupy? Going down that path, how much of the operational expenses of private insurance meaningfully improve patients' health?
There are only three things that keep companies from doing bad things. criminal liability, civil liability and brand risk(PR). companies will do what our society has designed them to do, which is to generate profit while navigating those three risks. Negative PR is not enough to dissuade health insurance companies from doing bad things because it's generally not consumers who choose their insurance, it's their employers. Clearly we cannot rely on brand risk to keep these companies in check..we need more laws and regulation.
Or the fact that you can mail order some name brand prescription drugs from Canada for a fraction of what you'd pay here.

Grift all the way down.

We'll be ok lol, while it is a significant transition, it IS just a transition in the media landscape.

AI is big and significant, but we'll be ok. There is also no such "one" thing as "our civilisation". We're deeply interconnected extremely vast and complex interconnected networks of ever-changing relationships.

AI does indeed represent the commoditisation of things we used to really value like "craftsmanship in book narration" and "intelligence". But we've had commoditisations of similar media in the past.

Paper used to be extremely expensive, but as time went on, it became more and more commoditised.

Memory used to be extremely expensive (2000-3000 years ago, we needed to encode memory in _dance_, _stories_ and _plays_. Holy shit). Now you can purchase enough memory to store a billion books for maybe two hours of labor.

Most of these things don't really matter. What is happening is that the media landscape is significantly shifting, and that is a tale as old as history.

I do think the intellectual class will be affected the most. People who understand this shift stand to benefit enormously, while those who don't _might_ end up in a super awful super low class.

And yet, all of that doesn't really matter if you just move to, I dunno, Paramaribo or whatever. The people there are pragmatic and friendly. They don't care about AI too much. Or maybe New Zealand, or Iceland, or Peru, or Nepal or I don't know.

The world isn't ending. Civilisation isn't being destroyed at our core.

The media landscape is changing, classes are shifting, power-relationships are changing. I suggest you think deeply about where you want to live, what you stand for and what is most important to you in life.

I don't need money or tech to be happy. I am fine with just my cats, my closest friends and family and healthy food.

If it happens to be the case that I need to leave tech or that extremely high-end narrated audiobooks cease to exist? Then all I have to say is "oh no, anyway".

We'll be fine.
One way or another.

Just different.

What kind of wild use case involves editing a text file larger than modern ram?
Sadly, no.

Our media organizations are still dependent on politicians, who themselves take billions in "donations" from healthcare corporations. Those same media organizations also have workers who are probably partially invested into pensions or other long-term safety nets who themselves are invested into healthcare companies.
But when UnitedHealth requires medications to be purchased from Optum health (with whom they share a parent company), they can jack up the price of a drug and keep some of that 85% too.

I love a paper back, but man did I fall in love with ebooks in the last year and a half. I own a Kindle and a Kobo and it's just so incredible for traveling (instead of carrying two books in my backpack) and in bed (the screen backlights are just fantastic).

I absolutely buy certain books physical still, if they're of a certain quality or meaning to me. If Martin Fowler released a new book tomorrow, I'd get it physical. Hell, I might even buy a physical and digital copy.

That said, digital is now my default way to read a book.

> Although ML people are just going to keep on misusing the word "tensor" to refer to a mere multidimensional array.

Could you elaborate on the difference?

I was under the impression that beyond the fact that arrays are a computer science concept and tensors are more of a math/physics concept, for all intents and purposes, they are isomorphic.

How is a tensor more than just a multidimensional array?
I read a lot of books while being at primary and secondary school and most of my colleagues didn't, they had other things to do. Now I read on Kindle and others watch Netflix or scroll Facebook. Form of the book is not a root cause of the problem.

Jordan Peterson isn't the alt right, though. Why would he be relevant?
There is an assumption that private is better always and that’s not true. Top 10-20% of private is better but it’s expensive and not available to most. There is a lot of poor and low quality private too.
I'm not disagreeing with you. But given silisili's lived experience of dealing with 30lb backpacks, chrisco255's statement about that being 'good for you' is simply not correct, unless perhaps that kid is a high school football player weighing 200+ lbs.

Also, only nerds and dweebs use both shoulder straps.

Rather, I don't think it's a simple matter of education, given that there are also social pressures involved.

That is one thing that would fix this problem fast. Let individuals tax deduct the price of their health insurance directly. There’s no reason it should only be up to your employer.
I have a CPAP too, and the insurance paid for part of the cost, but most was still paid for by me. I investigated the price of buying it directly, for cash, and it was only a few hundred dollars more.

This is my issue with M4A: it seems clear from the numbers that the problems in our system --- and I think they're grave --- are almost entirely on the provider-side, and Medicare has, if anything, locked us into those cost structures. If anyone's curious why there's a scarcity in physician care hours in the US: Medicare rate limits the number of new doctors allowed into the system every year, through the residency funding system.

Why would we wait for TikTok to continue to have greater and greater social influence before we cut off their propaganda tool? Do we have to wait until Taiwan has been leveled by China? And TikTok is being used to push the narrative that the US must not come to the aid of a peaceful nation being brutally conquered? By then it’s too late.

The trouble with this cascades as follows:

1) I don't know what Medicaid pays.

2) I don't know that what Medicaid pays is a just price until we define what a just price is on its own merits. Maybe Medicaid pays more than they should.

3) What Medicaid pays could change at any time for any reason unless what Medicaid pays is based itself on some metrics that define otherwise, in which case let's just look at those metrics directly, yes?

4) If Medicaid decides to pay more, is that the new line?
