Seeing my health insurance deny hospital claims that were pre-authorized has been insane. The hospital checked in advance with my insurance that several operations would be covered and the insurance approved. Now that the bill comes, the insurance company has repeatedly denied and denied their claims. Health insurance companies are horrible and parasitic to everyone involved.
nothing.....if you can make it work.....but in many native english markets, it wont, cept perhaps the kiddy booze market, where if you mix in enough tuarzine(whatever) and ??? purple blobs of some goo, it will jump off the shelves

How horrendously incomplete! Just four physical robots? You don't even have Roombas and similar cleaning robots on it. And why do we need another such list?

It's not just denials. This is anecdotal but my company moved from Aetna to UHC starting in January, and there are already dozens of threads in our internal slack about drug co-pays jumping 10-100x, despite the UHC rep's assurances that the plans were equivalent with what we had before.

Suing (or threatening to sue) everyone and anything that speaks poorly about the company is an interesting PR response, isn't it? I'm used to companies just ignoring the issue and hoping it goes away.
Maybe there should be a government mediated system for "DMCA", denied medical claim arguements, where anyone could send in a DMCA against a health insurance company and automatically involve the formal legal court system at no cost to themselves. Normally I would not want to involve government but in situations relating to life and death I think it is justified (like other things govs regulate involving life/death).
Marketing and greed do ruin everything they touch, yes.
One of the hallmarks of pure functional languages is that each “edit” of a data collection creates a new structure that refers back to part of the original. Which should be showcased well in a reasonable benchmark.

But I haven’t looked at Scheme in 32 years and I was angry about it then so I’m not going to start today.

So I will just agree that something is up.
I don't think it's very honest to include the Cybertruck in Las Vegas that was packed full of gasoline and fireworks. Electric cars do catch fire occasionally, but they don't explode unless you put explosive stuff inside.

> I’d trust a stock Apple Watch more than one modified by the spooks

People have been known to trust stock pagers more, to their detriment. The level of deception the game is played at nowadays is unimaginable, stock or bespoke solutions aside.
Restrict access to paying customers? Restrict access to companies violating an EULA to not redistribute packages?

That fact that people continue to spread this trope is amazing.

Just because CIQ err Rocky has to take extra steps and violate Red Hat’s EULA doesn’t mean they restricted access.

> only going to succeed if "we" want it — find value in it.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if that's how it turns out.

At least so far market dynamics haven't really been much of a driver for LLMs. Those with the money think its the next big thing and are pouring cash both into the LLMs themselves and any product that slaps a "powered by AI" sticker on the box.

That's not to say people aren't also actively choosing to use LLMs, but in my opinion the market demand doesn't account for the massive amount of hype and funding, or the pervasiveness of LLMs being added to so many products.
You're welcome. There's a lot there to absorb and even then there is still so little known about the North Sentinelese in particular but the reader can gain an understanding of many things about the region and the original inhabitants from contemporary and modern accounts. All in all like you say it is good reading.
>What percent of denials do you think would not happen, if everyone worked for the company for free?

Wrong question. The correct question is - what percentage of denials would not happen, if exec pay and market cap is allowed to be cut by 75% while keeping the revenue the same.

He's more evidence that trying to be "ethically good" leads to bad life outcomes and the moment that he embraced his "dark" side, his life outcomes literally got way better. He's evidence that god hates the weak.

If stuff like voluntary plastic surgery wasn't covered, what the hell kind of medical fraud would there be?

We have OTHER systems to find doctors prescribing drugs, so wtf does insurance provide the consumer except a pathway to debt?
> The current “Hispanics” are largely descended from the natives, I think?

You can generally divide most of the Americas into three categories: (mostly) pure indigenous ancestry, mixed ancestry (Mestizo is the common term), and (mostly) European ancestry. In regions where slavery was important, you also have significant groups of African ancestry, mixed African/indigenous ancestry, and sometimes Asian ancestry from post-slavery labor importation.

In most of the Americas, the dominant ethnic group is mestizo. Greenland is the only country where indigenous peoples are the clear majority, and Guatemala is probably the only other country where indigenous comes closest to being a plurality over mestizo. (The degree to which modern people accept indigenous versus mestizo as a term varies from country to country).

> I put “Hispanics” in quotes because it’s pretty weird to be labeled by the language of your conquerors who don’t even control anything in the area anymore.

The vast majority of modern Latin Americans speak Spanish or another European language as their dominant language.

Our "insurance" sucks because of all the government involvement. Putting government completely in control would solve some problems, but I personally would like to see how things go if we do the opposite and take government out of it completely.
This is what you get when profit is prioritised over every other factor. i'm not sure why anyone finds this surprising. Social democrats recognise the role of government is to put in place regulations that temper this kind of behaviour. under Trumps 'slash and burn' approach to regulation expect things to get worse on every field
Yeah, you’ve come to mostly the same conclusion as Mark Cuban(whole thread [0]). He agrees that you need some sort of watchdog to prevent fraud/waste/mistake but that insurance companies don’t work because their for-profit nature perverts their incentives. I don’t know if a government-based watchdog is the solution but I think you’re on the right track.

The whole company made 3.6% margin last year. There isn't much room for either, even if the company suddenly became a non-profit.
Calling human knowledge small is hyperbole. I cannot get any LLM even close to giving accurate answers related to the things I know. They simply do not know what I, a single human being, knows. That's simply because I'm a subject matter expert on somewhat niche topics. There are easily hundreds of thousands of people like me out there.

There's simply no way an LLM can even train on all of that because each bit of true expert knowledge necessarily comically underrepresented in any possible training set.
> He has to, because no one is willing to take that side.

If we're talking about a small number of Catholic priests deciding on sainthood, then yes. But if we're talking about any other matter of public dispute on social media where self-described devil's advocates pop up, then no. I've never seen one advocating for a position that's unique in the world. Indeed, in the comments on this very HN submission, there are other defenders of Google who are advocating their own opinon and don't pretend to be devil's advocates.
If anything, WSL1 showed me that MS still has some programming chops lurking around (I mean, obviously, I know they have some truly amazing developers and their research talent is top notch), but that project was technically pretty cool with the pico-processes and syscall translation layer.

But the one thing they would never be able to overcome was CUDA and kernel modules. If you show people "Linux" and they can't build their software, then it might as well be hot garbage.

I use WSL2 daily and far more often than my actual Linux VMs. It's not the fastest, but it did solve a huge chunk of the problems with WSL1. No, it's not native, but I already have 3 monitors, a huge tower, and a Mac Mini M1 on my desk. I didn't need a native box at my fingertips (those go on a rack in the basement, lol).

Musk's band of merry men is quite interesting. All under 26.

My first thought was: are these people COBOL experts? That would seem to be the most relevant experience.
“I am doing it again now” is the operative phrase here I think. I’ve found LLMs are quite good helping me build things much better and faster in this case. Maybe not so much for stuff I haven’t done before and don’t really quite know what I’m trying to accomplish or what a good solution looks like.
I use a combination of keyboard firmware(on one machine) and a similar tool(xremap). Mostly for:

- turning my CapsLock into escape. As a vim user I use it all the time

- when CapsLock is held it turns into a hyper key. Hyper+e to switch to Emacs window, hyper+b to browser and so on

- creating application independent maps that work on Linux and MacOS: ctrl+w is always "kill last word", super+w to kill a tab or a window

- invoking hammerspoon commands on MacOS that tile windows, bring up window switcher, etc.
Shader compilers tend to be very latency sensitive, so “it takes too long to run” would be a valid reason why it is not done if it is not done.
One of the most interesting things about this whole situation is that nobody is trying to even pretend that the current system is fair or effective. The tone in media and from corporate PR, business leaders, and politicians is either silence or some version of "hey stop talking about that / well it's not MY fault." Everyone knows the system is unfair, parasitic, and literally murderous, but no one in power is willing to take responsibility of any kind or show real leadership in bringing change.
Nothing irregular here, citizen-slave. Move along.
I think we'll see a lot larger scale adoption of heat pumps once they are re-engineered for dealing with 15F average winters (where heat pumps break even vs furnaces) that also go down to -25F for a week (where heat pumps use more energy or fail). But it's good to see small progress in using them in places where it only gets cold rarely and briefly.

Not being able to handle the full range of average and peak(valley?) temps means a lot more complexity that prevents adoption.
Yep, no reason to protect the insurer here.
On what amount of revenue? How many billions is that 3.6%?
I will never forgive Lieberman for killing the public option, which would at least have force private health insurance to compedte with the government.
My main point was that mutability and covariance are two orthogonal concepts that just happen to overlap here due to function signature shape. But it seems that you are right, I cannot think of any expression that would type-check with Array<Animal> but not with Array<Cat>. ChatGPT was very unhelpful in trying to produce a counterexample, since it probably trained on too many entry level stackoverflow posts about this issue.
I didn't know about that, thanks for the link; major kudos to them. Still, Wales has had many opportunities to "sell out".
>If stuff like voluntary plastic surgery wasn't covered, what the hell kind of medical fraud would there be?

Off the top of my head: going to a doctor, conspiring with him to make an insurance claim that you had some sort of procedure done even though none was actually done, and splitting the claim check? Not saying this happens, but it's not hard to think of frauds you could perform even if "voluntary plastic surgery wasn't covered".
I get the sentiment, but I can say without any hyperbole that would be a death sentence on the majority of people with chronic conditions.
Insurance didn't deny coverage under Obama or Biden's rule?
I trade in retirement accounts, so taxes don't apply.
I'd like their to be a single payer for my healthcare but I'd like that single payer to be me and not the government and not an insurance company. Just like I am the single payer for all my food and my housing why can't we have a world where I pay for my healthcare too?
Given the choice between a Linux compatible OS made in Rust and R4L I would absolutely hope sanity prevails and the latter is chosen. It's just going to take them forever to get the optimizations right, then people will still prefer Linux since that's going to be the "server OS" standard for a very long time.
I've heard stories of med students at my former university going on a saline solution IV drip to drink more.
Also "The Conquest of New Spain" .. written as a first hand account by a soldier for Cortes.

Obviously cruel and exploitative what the conquistadors did, but it's an example how fact can be sometimes more incredible than fiction.

How a small band of soldiers got in way over their heads and had to bluff and bully their way through, or would have certainly been killed.

The big problem with health insurance is that it accounts for 17% of the US GDP, so although it's parasitic for everyone involved, it's basically indispensable to the economy. That's a big reason why the Affordable Care Act panned out the way it did, as a partnership with the insurance companies.
This made me snort my coffee, what backing was needed or lacking? Need peer-review to validate them?

Isn't "fruit" wine kind of a marketing term for "fruit flavored wine", that is "strawberry wine" is supposed to taste like a treat?

The one alcohol that I've made in large quantities [1] is apple cider [2] which I've always made very dry, even though I perceive it has an apple taste, pear cider tastes like pears, even if it is dry.

In sinosphere adaptations of classical Chinese stories like Romance of the Three Kingdoms people talk about drinking 'wine' but my understanding is that what they drank wasn't made from grapes.

[1] probably drank too much of it one December and might have started to get dependent

[2] on my farm we have a few hedgerows that have apples that are good for eating, seedling apples (in some areas surrounded by hedgerows) are usually yucky for eating, although horses think they are fine and they are great for cider.
You want to pass -mllvm -x86-cmov-converter=false. I assume LLVM has a pass to undo conditional moves on x86 whenever a heuristic determines skipping a calculation by branching is cheaper than doing the calculation and using a conditional move.

Unfortunately, the heuristic that calculates the expense often gets things wrong. That is why OpenZFS passes -mllvm -x86-cmov-converter=false to Clang for certain files where the LLVM heuristic was found to do the wrong thing:

https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/commit/677c6f8457943fe5b56d7a...

There is an open LLVM issue regarding this:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62790

The issue explains why __builtin_unpredictable() does not address the problem. In short, the metadata is dropped when an intermediate representation is generated inside clang since the IR does not have a way to preserve the information.
In what specific way would you like to see the government stop intervening?
People choosing a non local keyboard usually require this level of adjustments for daily use of their computer.

If you want to type french with a standard US keyboard for instance, it will require at least some small layering. Typing a CJK language will require some more tweaks, in particular the dual action on keys saves a lot. If you intend to type both accented and CJK with let's say the UK international layout, you'll need every help you can get.

When using vim more heavily, having an escape key remap as the control key's single action is also a huge QOL.

Once you're in it, it opens the door for a lot of small improvements.
You can already do this.

It's a bad idea because of the state of the rest of healthcare _due to the state of health insurance_, but nothing prevents you from self-insuring.
If I remember correctly there is a command line option. I do it many year ago on my Mac, and I can switch space without any delay / animation

Democrats improved it and got punished in elections. Republicans did nothing and got rewarded. You get what you incentivize.
I’ve heard these statements before, and I agree with the general sentiment, but I’ve yet to hear a solid set of solutions. Many of these statements are contradictory, or at least hide opposing principles. For instance:

> We are destroying software by no longer caring about backward APIs compatibility.

and

> We are destroying software by always underestimating how hard it is to work with existing complex libraries VS creating our stuff.

I’d say for about 75% of the projects I’ve worked on, choosing an existing complex library over writing something new was due to backward compatibility. I’d say we vastly underestimate how much work is put into to deal with back compat.
In what ways does government involvement cause problems?

And what actions do you think companies might take to benefit customers if not for government involvement?
It's an extremely common response. I think you're used to remembering stories as "companies just ignore the issue and hope it goes away", summarizing away all the day-by-day coverage of letters they sent telling people to stop being mean, and that's probably how most people will remember this story in a few years too.
Nice, good job. I second the idea of wikipedia URLs for each.

I went down a rabbit hole about Palmyra Atoll a year ago.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmyra_Atoll
https://www.fws.gov/refuge/palmyra-atoll

Part of the Line Islands.

Scientists did live on it for a period of time and there's photographs of the building structures and an old tractor.

The lagoon is full of sharks.

And in 1974, a couple was murdered on their sailing yacht and they captured the murderer who sailed, docked and repainted the vessel in Hawaii. One of the victims remains were years later discussed on the island which led to the murder trial.

Largely yes, it does support task syntax at least.
One can safely assume that this will never happen, either because Republicans will stop it, or it will be revered by the courts shortly afterwards. Or becuase it's just more hot air.
This happened in our family a few years ago. It was a penny dropping moment when the hospital revealed to me thar they routinely record all calls with insurance companies. So they had a recording of the insurer approving the procedure. They still refused to pay nevertheless.
I haven’t seen any measure where the US is the best concerning healthcare. I usually see it in the teens for outcomes and generally other measures are worse. It’s just bad.
The costs just get worse as our understanding of disease prevention and chronic illness grows. The costs of neglecting early intervention are ultimately borne by society through programs like Medicare, as individuals age with significantly poorer health than they would have if they had received earlier treatment.

It's much cheaper to repair a roof that has a small leak than it is to clean out and rebuild a house rotted with mold.
I tried it for AoC 2024. I'd always been curious about it. I wouldn't call it overall easy to use. That's partially due to the way AoC's problems are structured (reading matrices and all that), but there were more general pain-points as well, and there's surprisingly little info about Ada online. Looking up something as simple as converting an integer to a character took me quite some time (also hindered by the seemingly random way Ada uses attributes; sometimes you use a type, sometimes a variable; sometimes it's a constant, sometimes a function, or a property). But it definitely has its positive aspects.

I tried Ada because of Spark, but unfortunately, that's to deep to get into just for a few puzzles, and has an even worse online presence.
Under the ACA, 20% of that is overhead for the insurers. So you could boost the economy by 20% x 17% = a full year's GDP growth for free.
Of note: If that 18 second rule became known to a significant number of people, the dynamic will change
What was included in physician salaries? I suspect either specialists wernt included or they used take home salary rather than fees because fees by doctors and specialists is a lot more than 8% in canada
How is the absolute amount relevant aside from being able to use shocking words like "BILLIONS" or whatever? 3.6% is 3.6%. It might work out to billions, but if it's split across hundreds/tens of millions of customers that's nothing. I doubt anyone is going to be placated if UNH provided 3.6% more healthcare to its customers.
We shouldn’t even have to pay for essential services like healthcare. If it’s a matter of life or death, the state should be taking care of its citizens.
