If anyone thinks things are OK, I have a challenge for you. It's simple. Try to manufacture one of these in the US:

https://www.amazon.com/Triple-Monitor-Stand-Articulating-Alu...

Not a rocket. Not a humanoid. Not a complex machine. It's a simple fucking monitor arm.

I just bought a few of these. The quality and finish are excellent. Guess where they are made?

Your challenge is to deliver THE SAME quality and finish at TWICE the price (max).

Try, and see just how far you get.

Let me save you some time: You cannot. Maybe at 5x to 10x the price. Maybe.

And the NRE and manufacturing costs will kill you. The screws alone will cost you 10x.

Time to get real folks. Stop being part of the problem.

I find this fascinating, because I recall school textbooks having visible dots, but I'm yet to experience what people refer to as "oh my god I'm seeing the pixel!".

It further doesn't help that when seated at a typical distance (30° hfov) from a ~23" 16:9 FHD display (96 ppi), you get a match (60 ppd) for the visual acuity you're measured for when an optometrist tells you that you have a 20/20 eyesight.

It's been of course demonstrated that eyesight better than 20/20 is most certainly real, that the density of the cones in one's eye also indicates a much finer top resolution, etc., but characterizing 96 ppi as so utterly inadequate will never not strike me as quite the overstatement.

> As patient you need to track who is in an out of network

It's not even which facility, but which staff member! My mother had a pair of surgeries at the same facility, but the first anesthesiologist was in network and the second one was out of network. Both worked for the same place, but the second one was a contracted employee and so they bill differently then the direct hired ones.

It was a major mess and ended up costing us an extra 10k or so.

As someone who's lived through a despotic regime - there will be more elections. Whether those elections are free and fair is the question. This also explains the haste at which they are attempting to purge non-partisans from government before the midterms.

Purges/closures/subjugations to watch out for: the press, judiciary, election officials, policing functions (FBI, local police, Attorneys general), domestic (sometimes foreign) intelligence. All of those functions have to be neutralized to hold sham elections, and have their results stand.

As a seasoned software engineer and someone with a special knack for deep and hidden problems, bottlenecks, and other "elephant in the room"s, I best work with startups and companies who are serious about what they do, have been around for a while, are stuck and/or could use some soul-searching/clarity in their code, processes, people et al for the better and looking to truly make it in the LONG RUN. No, I am not a manager or a consultant. Thank you for reading.

> My understanding from afar is that a Rust dev wanted to interact with C code in a way that the C maintainer didn't like.

He didn't want any Rust code at all touching his turf. He outright NACKed without any technical reason and refused any negotiations with the Rust team that any Rust build fails due to C code breaking changes would be their entire responsibility.

> This led to the C dev saying that while he likes Rust, he believes multi-language codebases are cancer and would stonewall all Rust code that touches his code.

I believe that was an attempt of damage control to save face and he actually meant to call Rust "cancer".

> let's delegate the hardest part back to the caller!

Obviously, an expert would write the security policies and make them reusable as libraries. Incidentally, that is what WASI is--it's not only a new security model, but a new API that requires rewrites of applications to fit with the new capability design.

> Try writing a seccomp policy for filesystem access

Try implementing an entire new system API (like WASI) in every engine! You have that problem and a whole lot more.

For comparison, implementing WASI preview1 is 6000 lines of C code in libuvwasi--and that's not even complete. Other engines have their own, less complete and broken, buggy versions of WASI p1. And WASI p2 completely upends all of that and needs to be redone all over again in every engine.

Obviously, WASI p1 and p2 should be implemented in an engine-independent way and linked in. Which is exactly the game plan of thin kernel interfaces. In that sense, at the very least thin kernel interfaces is a layering tool for the engine/system API split that enhances security and evolvability of both. Nothing requires the engine to expose the kernel interface, so if you want a WASI only engine then only expose WALI to WASI and call it a day.

To be clear I am 111% down for that as one of the Alphabet People myself lol. We just can't pretend like it isn't a factor.

Disclaimer: I realize these numbers are probably skewed high due to self-selection of people who are willing to take diversity surveys. The actual percentages are probably somewhat lower, but Rust undoubtedly has the highest concentration of any programming-language community. Zero question.
On a positive note, this is a nice look at the future and a direction that existing experiences seem likely to evolve towards.

However I did find myself wondering how crucial really were the model changes?

Imagine trying to implement these features as a wrapper around frontier apis and no 70B bespoke model.

Starting with a user query, we could ask for relevant svg diagrams, fit instruction steps or guides into layout templates, or even filter photos as the demo shows.

How much less would this simple approach leave us with?
insert generic American progressive take about why we should have socialized healthcare here.

My wife had an issue with her eye that was giving similar symptoms to macular degeneration [1] in 2016. I had insurance (it might have even been UHC, but I'm not 100% sure), so we went to an ophthalmologist's office, to get it looked at.

When we get to the office, we find out that just the copay for this was going to be $550. I was kind of crap at saving money back then, and I had a job that didn't pay great, and I remember I had exactly $578.23 in my bank account at the time, and I still needed to pay my rent. I had to kind of awkwardly tell my wife "sorry, we don't have the money to have your eye looked at and pay our rent", so we leave without her getting any treatment.

About 4-5 months later, I got a better job with much better health insurance, so she went to that same ophthalmologist, and our copay was less than $50. The entirety of the work that this ophthalmologist did was refer her to a retinal specialist.

This means that I was initially going to have paid more than $500 just to get a god damned referral, and just to re-emphasize this, we had health insurance.

I remember how upset and frustrated I was with that entire situation; it felt like I was doing things the "right" way by getting a desk job with health insurance and yet I still couldn't afford to get the treatment that my wife needed. It just felt...unfair? Like what exactly was I supposed to do differently here?

It didn't really "change" my perspective on this, I had already been in favor of moving to a universal healthcare system, but this thoroughly solidified my perspective on it.

[1] Fortunately, it wasn't that, it was an autoimmune thing. Still not great but better than we initially thought.

It has NOTHING to do with regulatory capture.

The US is polarized with the republicans not wanting any socialized health care because they don't want to care for people not like them. You can't organize and correctly run a health care systems when half you politicians actively sabotage and burn it down.
Possibly, but a lot of real progress has been made by trying things that turn out to work and then working backwards to figure out how.

float32 (1+m)×2^e as int32 = e<<23 | m

(1+m1)×2^e1 × (1+m2)×2^e2 = (1+m1+m2+m1×m2)×2^(e1+e2)

If m1×m2 is small, that's approximately float32(m1+m2, e1+e2).
Part of the issue is that regulation in this space is extremely difficult, as UHC is a for-profit corporation and thus is incentivized inherently against the societal goal of providing healthcare. Even if there is regulation to force UHC to spend 90-95% of the money given to it on healthcare, this incentivizes UHC to make healthcare expensive so the 5-10% portion it can keep can also grow. Not to say that governments shouldn't still try to make it more fair, but to say that UHC has a duty to its shareholders to find as many loopholes as possible to refuse to pay out healthcare.
Yes, agreed. Gradle has outgrown Maven core dependency management features-wise. I wrote back to him, interested in your thoughts.
Of course! But looking at the reality of the policy, don't you think that barring a person who turns 18 tomorrow from voting but allowing some other person to vote who is 12 hours older is kind of silly?

We do have to draw a line somewhere in order to get things done, but we should be honest and aware of how arbitrary such a line is. We shouldn't just grab some random number out of our ass and say "we have to start somewhere." My point above is that argument can be used to justify anything no matter how draconian. We need a better standard than just "we have to start somewhere"

Also there is a practical difference between voting and drinking (your examples) and taxation levels (the subject matter). Most reasonable people acknowledge that somewhere around 18 to early 20s people become "adults." Everyone develops at different levels, but the main idea there is not to have children voting in horrible politicians (clearly we adults are good enough at that already, sadlol). Same with drinking. We know that young people are often irresponsible and dangerous with it, and it can damage their brains. They also aren't able to make informed rational decisions as their frontal lobes aren't complete. Compare that to "how much money is too much" and you're going to get a huge and inconsistent range of answers, compared to "at what age should people be able to vote or drink."
It's largely overpriced.
I don't see it.

- I think self drilling screws are much more of a timesaver.

- Drill driver combis cannot have the same durability than separate bits, since driver bits are made of softer or at least more springy steel than drills.

- Also the sharpness of the combi can be a problem for the screw.

- Also torx bits will not jump over, while philips will now and then, and hence wear out more quickly.
This is true, but interpreting it one way is clearly absurd (nobody would call a square the “inverse square root”), which implicates that the other meaning was intended.

That is right, and further - I think about IRBs like I do non-profit boards. One of the key tasks of a board is to determine what risk the organization is willing to bear. I think the IRBs at these institutions are 1) following federal laws but 2) making a judgement on the risk the institution is willing to sign up for. For example, for many clinical trials are distributed to multiple "sites" where the trial is actually administered. Many of these sites are universities. What the University of Iowa is willing to bear is different than the University of Michigan and the IRBs reflect that.

Yeah and they got sued and lost.
Insurance companies are parasites. They extract $200 billion from the system in order to tell you that you can't get treatment. It's supposed to function as a risk pool and instead it functions as a tax--which is utterly dystopian, because it's a tax that goes to a private system that you can't even find a way to opt into if you have the wrong employer. It's so messed up.
I was lending some support to the "it takes a village" thing - i understand that you inferred that non-relations and even "non-friend" can and do supplant/supplement the "village" in "modern times".

Where you’re going wrong is thinking that it’s intended to work for patients at all.

I think the issue is exactly the same no matter who pays.

To reframe it from the individual patient's perspective, when you take a test simply for the sake of screening, there is the chance you'll learn something true that helps you, and the chance you will learn something false that hurts you

Thats a poor reading of the effort the Republicans have put into ensuring they win.

Firstly, its not because of reasons that people win in America, not anymore. People didnt know that the ACA was Obamacare, or that Biden dropped out.

Fox and the GOP created an orwellian political power that has parasitized democratic processess.

Classic example would be climate change, in the 90s, when FOX was created.

Fox platformed cranks, and made them look legitimate. Republican lawmakers pointed to Fox news reports, and stalled if not killed climate change legislation.

The governing principle at that time, was to not provide credibility to cranks. However, shocked by the effectiveness of Fox, scientists decided to talk directly to viewers on Fox.

This resulted in them being fed to the media lions, because the goal of Fox was to discredit them, along with the ivory tower education systems.

Through this process, FOX and the GOP own the overton window for climate discussions. THEY decide what positions Dems must take.

Repeat this proces year after year, and eventually there is no place you can hold a position to win at a national level.

For state level elections this is different, apparently local knowledge overcomes this distorition field.

However, thats not the only trick.

Republicans are beholden to never grant Democrats any credibility. See Romneycare and Obamacare. It shocked me even then, that Repubs actually credited Obama for getting Osama.

This election, people remember Harris as being the Trans supporter. The Campaign itself never focused on this topic.

The Repubs sets the stage on which everyone dances.

Yes - the other candidate should earn peoples votes. They should create the right message.

Yes - as a voter, you should know when its not a fair fight.

Simply so that you can apply the right handicap when viewing candiates.
But this time only the red voters.
