I'm grateful for the focus on counties here.

Health discussions commonly assume that medical services are within reach. But for much (often most) of the US that isn't the case. Most counties do not have sufficient mental health services, few have medical specialists and an ER can be several counties away.

People who live in underserved areas matter. Overwhelmingly, they are people who are trapped there by poverty. And while poor urban Americans get occasional lip service (if little else), poor rural Americans (inc brown, white, indigenous) don't even get that. No one is more invisible than the rural poor.

Isn't this like 1/2 the appeal of living in rural America though?

Way out there, on your own. Fewer creature comforts, more getting stuff done on your own. No paying the connivence fee associated with cities, having everything nearby but paying double the rent.

Yes this sounds like an obscene edge case but it's part of the deal
It is an obvious fallacy to conflate the usage of tear gas canisters with the usage of mustard gas in WWI. They differ drastically in amount/concentration, area of effect, and long term health risks, thus should be treated differently in considering their usage.

Tear gas clearly sits on a spectrum of non-lethal arms with various other options that are more or less harmful. While it's entirely fair to criticize its use on a case by case basis, insofar as disorderly public gatherings can have varying levels of violence/destruction, it would stand to reason that some instances warrant the use of tear gas.
We had Rite Aid and Walgreens, then Rite Aid went bankrupt or whatever all they aren't here anymore (they would always be across the street from each other).

Now you have a 45 minute wait when you go, they never have stuff in stock, their phone support people are terrible...

Walgreens was great (and 24 hours) but now it's a shit show. At least we still have the pharmacy at grocery stores, Walmart, and a couple mom-n-pop pharmacies but their hours stink.

There are a couple other places without a storefront that are delivery-only but I haven't tried any of them yet.
I'm not arguing LLMs currently generate great code. My argument is that it doesn't matter to the assertion that they make devs dumb.

Tools being bad currently doesn't matter just like compilers being bad in the past doesn't matter.
Except they are used today. Russian 5.45 is famously highly prone to tumbling due to its design with bubble of air in the front of the bullet (even more so than rifle rounds in general). If we look at American 5.56mm, the original M193 was prone to fragmenting, which the original study reports on what would eventually become M16 noted as the reason why it's capable of creating more devastating wounds then the then-standard M80 ball. And modern M855A1 fragments even more reliably (at lower velocities) while still punching through armor.

Pretty much any OTM round is effectively expanding and/or fragmenting (depending on velocity) as well...

So for all practical purposes this convention hasn't been followed for literally decades now. The pretense is that we claim that all these bullet designs just happen to do what they do. Although IIRC the US military authorized use of 9mm JHP in some circumstances, as well, so I think even that veneer is mostly gone by now.
It’s not even legal for them to try to compete. Even if someone preferred to pay more for the convenience the brick and mortar shops aren’t allowed to charge a premium over the online pharmacies.
> I have two pharmacies in my town, but they're both owned by RiteAid which can't keep inventory on the shelves.

Rite Aid filed chapter 11 bankruptcy almost 2 years ago.
>The allure of social media has always been its promise of creating a universal online public sphere

The allure of social media has always been to see what your friends and colleagues are doing, organise social activities and maybe run into a cool new book or recipe.

Social Media became a hub of the worst political opinions you have ever seen because political content drives engagement and engagement drives advertising money.

People don't want "Echo Chambers" they want to go back to not feeling like they are constantly under attack by the worst terminally online people possible.
Yea, where I live there is sometimes a 2+ hr wait at the Rite Aid.
We've had a few conversations on HN about how QWERTY may not be optimal for mobile swiping, but it's better than the layouts optimized for typing. Dvorak, with all the vowels on the left hand home row, would be terrible for swiping, what with all the English words just a vowel away from each other.

As it is the UIO vowel complex is a frequent problem with swiping. I'd like to see U and O moved away from each other, in theory.
Are you thinking of the correct term? Compounding pharmacies provide simple drug manufacturing tasks, like pressing pills from raw ingredients or splitting and mixing liquid drugs.

Some regulators dont like them because the medicine and dosages they produce do not need FDA review for safety or efficacy.
Genuinely assumed this was parody.

Why do we need a pharmacy when it can be delivered by postal mail.

I for one welcome our postal overlords.

Is it not self serving for the JAMA to fund a study on a lack of pharmacies but not on, say,medical incompetence, fraud, or corruption?

What I mean is, people do actually do this with LLMs, but most assignments do not map 1:1 to a Wikipedia article you can copy (certainly programming tasks don't). Or to put it differently, it's relatively trivial to formulate assignments for which a blind Wikipedia copy & paste wouldn't be applicable; in contrast to the LLM case.
Rust's async model was shipped as an MVP, not in the sense of "this is a bad design and we just want to ship it"; but rather, "we know this is the first step of the eventual design we want, so we can commit to stabilizing these parts of it now while we work on the rest." There's ongoing work to bring together the rest of the pieces and ergonomics on top of that foundational model; async closures & trait methods were recently stabilized, and work towards things like pin ergonomics & simplifying cheap clones like Rc are underway.

Rust uses this strategy of minimal/incremental stabilization quite often (see also: const generics, impl Trait); the difference between this and what drove me away from Swift is that MVPs aren't shipped unless it's clear that the design choices being made now will still be the right choices when the rest of the feature is ready.
Very few completely eschew the option to get medical services when they decide they need them.
Some placeholders like this one exist because they are part of other collections for which we have more items. So when the reader is viewing the other collection, they can see which items we have and which we don't.
The reason why these are legal is precisely because they are so ineffective.
I don't think homebrew has replaced MacPorts. I suspect that MacPorts has more ports.
To me, the headline is a little misleading. From the first paragraph of the article:

> ... 46 percent of all counties studied had at least one pharmacy desert, and that 15.8 million people in the U.S. live in pharmacy deserts.

So while 46% of all counties have at least one pharmacy desert, less than 5% of people actually live in a pharmacy desert (USA population of ~340.1M).

Since I started using Pipewire, audio has mostly been "just fine" for me.

I actually have gotten Nvidia cards working with the closed driver on NixOS, but it took an entire weekend of whack-a-mole. It works mostly fine now, but man it was a huge pain in the ass. I should have bought an AMD card, but when I bought the Nvidia card it was specifically for Stable Diffusion and most of the documentation I could find at the time for that wanted CUDA.

Not trying to self-promote too much, but I wrote a blog post explaining how to get it working if anyone needs help: https://blog.tombert.com/posts/2025-03-09-egpu/ (There are no ads or anything, I don't make any money from this, FWIW).
A better non-modal dialog using the popover API.
Putting pharmacies in all those places when door to door delivery exists would be insanely wasteful. Just make it easier for pharmacists to mail you your medicines.
>When I saw they had the guts and wisdom to do that I realized that they may have a better grasp on philosophy.

It's not a better grasp on philosophy. It's a logistical issue. A centralized government can wipe this out because control is centralized. In a democracy the control is spread out among people who understand, people who don't understand and among people who have business interest in said topic.

Think about it this way. The very people responsible for the unicorn social media companies in a democracy have a say in whether or not there own companies can be wiped out. If they're rich they can influence the game even more with advertising and propaganda. They influence the outcome and thus self interest actually pollutes the decision making process in a democracy.

It's not about guts. It's literally that in a democracy even the conflicting business interests can stop the right thing from happening because of they are self interested in the bad thing to happen. It is a logistical issue. When business interests influence government then government decisions favor business interests. It's that simple. And right now since businesses are more centralized and have more power then individuals then the government actually favors big corporations. That's the eventual outcome of most capitalist societies.

In a dictatorship, the dictator is usually well removed from such things and thus can make decisions very impartially and with no resistance. But like an evil dictator can do stuff like behead your entire family if you talk shit about him. Good sides and bad sides. The problem is you live in a democracy so everyone talks about how shitty the alternative is because of bias. The reality is democracy and dictatorship are simply two sides of a coin.

Ask HN: License to Protect Training Data?
I am developing a system that will be used to inspect some data and identify things within it manually. I expect that, in some cases, these identifications will be used to train machine learning models. Is there an existing license that I can apply to the software that would require the end products of these outputs (i.e. the identifications and model weights) to be made public? Something like the GPL, but to democratize access to training data and models created downstream.

The application is in a niche scientific field and I am not worried about a lack of users, and I expect many users will align with the ethos I am proposing. I am simply wondering if a license or arrangement like this has been created already.
As someone who has used a bunch of different image editing tools to make stuff (mainly for games, though i'm not an artist - i just need to make art :-P), Krita is fine. It has a bunch of weirdnesses (e.g. 2983942 commands to paste an image and all of them are kinda weird or missing in some way) and doesn't have as much features as GIMP but overall it is fine. Then again i found GIMP fine for a long time.

Though my favorite UX (and features) of all time is Paint Shop Pro 7 which i find superior to Krita (i have it installed alongside Krita, GIMP and Kolourpaint -used for minor edits since it starts instantly- on my Linux setup via Wine). I used it since Win3.x days in the 90s until PSP8 was released and they screwed up the UI. I moved to GIMP some time later when i started using Linux and used that for years. Some years ago i found a boxed copy of PSP7 anniversary edition, reinstalled it and despite not using it for more than a decade i found it much easier than GIMP and i'm using that since, until i wanted to make a plugin to assist me with texture painting for 3D models. Making plugins for PSP7 was very cumbersome so i thought to try Krita instead (Krita has an MDI mode which i like when working with images) and ended up sticking with it since making the plugin was relatively easy[0].

I'll download Krita's source code and try to build it and add the features i miss from PSP7 at some point, KDE people do not seem very allergic to having options so i might be able to recreate the stuff and behavior i miss from PSP7 in Krita.

In order of preference:

1. PSP7

2. Krita

3. Pixelmator (only under macOS of course and i only used an old version before App Store with the only alternative being GIMP running under XQuartz - i think GIMP got a native version later but i never used it)

4. GIMP (i found older versions easier to use, but every time they introduce a new major UI change i find it more awkward than before and now they're switching away from Gtk2 to Gtk3 -which i dislike the feel of- i decided to stick with Krita)

5?. Photoshop, maybe (i only used it a little in the past, always found it more cumbersome than GIMP or PSP, but it'll do if nothing else is available)

Sure, DBT (Data Build Tool) has been around for a while. It's a way to manage SQL (and also Python) data pipelines - the "T" in ELT. Home page for DBT Core is here https://docs.getdbt.com/ (there is also a hosted DBT cloud premium offering). There are some good books on Data Engineering with DBT - I particularly liked "Data Engineering with dbt: A practical guide to building a cloud-based, pragmatic, and dependable data platform with SQL" by Roberto Zagni.

My 1990 Fiat is also capable of full self driving for short periods of time, if I put a rock on the gas pedal.

If "full" doesn't mean "completely autonomous", what would you call a system that can drive a car in exactly all the circumstances a human can?

One big thing pharmacies do is answer questions about drugs to educate the users in ways the doctors prescribing them often don't and also check for drug interactions to protect patients. Sometimes you wind up getting prescriptions for two things from different doctors and one doesn't notice or ask to find out that your prescription from doctor A has a bad interaction with drug B they're prescribing.

Also the US mail is also being actively degraded so the ability to reliably get mail delivered to the entire US guaranteed may just disappear soon.
Rural resentment of cities is as old as the hills. I don’t know what the solution is. Price supports to keep small pharmacies alive? Heavy regulation of e-commerce? I’m no free-market zealot, but it’s hard to see how you blunt this impact in a non-heavy-handed way.

Tesla established the name autopilot in vehicles. they decided it’s exactly like planes and ships. There is no other concept of autopilot in cars.
There is no law against a pharmacy owner from charging whatever they want.

However, most pharmacies enter into contracts with various groups, such as the government, insurance companies, etc so that they effectively give away their right to charge what they want.
Not just likes to mail things, they basically try to force you to use the mail pharmacy service that they own.

My Aetna policy will deny all prescriptions for anything greater than 30 days supply or multiple refills unless you go through their mail pharmacy - it's the only way to get a 90 day supply.

And yup. Their online service often is "unable to determine status" of a prescription that they are filling, which means I can't even order a refill through them.
It’s hard to know few decades ago which companies to put substantial money in. It’s hard to know which companies will perform in the next few decades. And if you are wrong in your bets, there goes a few decades of your life and you can’t rewind the clock to try again.
The point is that being far away from critical services is part of the rural-urban tradeoff. It's like being upset that there isn't a level 1 trauma center within a 30 minute drive, because you live in the middle of nowhere. Nobody is going to deny the importance of living near a level 1 trauma center, but you kinda signed up for it when you decided to live in the middle of nowhere.

Economists have predicted 9 out of the last 5 recessions, as the saying goes.

Usually even if this it the case you don't necessarily want to pull out of the market, but buy into the dip. Unless you seriously think the stock market is going to be wiped out for years, buying the dip means you have a large position when the market starts recovering.

> Why do we need a pharmacy when it can be delivered by postal mail.

Answer: We need them for prescriptions that aren't routine refills. We need them where mail is less predictable and for addresses that are at risk of non-delivery. We need them for new medical events. We need them when the last med didn't work and the next 2 might not either.

We need them when our local pharmacist is literally the only one who cares enough to keep our meds stocked (me+now).

GP isn't asking for the source files now, they are asking what parts of the product are going to be open source. The only thing the pre-launch advertisement page says is "open source" and this company has had troubles with how open different software components of the firmware actually ended up being so it's a fair question to want to know what the advertisement is actually claiming before getting interested in it.

Jason Ordendorff's talk [1] was probably the first time I truly grokked the concept of unsafe in Rust. The core idea behind unsafe in Rust is not to provide an escape from the guarantees provided by rust. It's to isolate the places where you have no choice but to break the guarantees and rigorously code/test the boundaries there so that anything wrapping the unsafe code can still provide the guarantees.

Family separation is the most extreme outcome. There is a long spectrum of stress and uncertainty between "CPS merely knocks on your door and leaves" and "Forcible family separation." You really don't want to land anywhere on that spectrum. Encounters with the government and law enforcement tend to escalate depending on how busy/belligerent/bored their agents are, so what might be a routine "checking up" today can snowball into a series of more and more serious encounters and harassment as time goes by.

I'm not really anti-CPS as much as I'm anti unnecessary involvement with unaccountable people who can wreck other people's lives.
> Why is this "art" "lost" for most of the software.

Before the internet, the printed book was all you really got. That meant the company distributing the software had to hire technical writers who'd work with the software devs to create all of this, send it to an editor, and ultimately get published.

We no longer live in an era where tech companies hire tech writers. Software documentation lacking is something that can and limp along with jira cases and support services sold rather than trying to put in the upfront effort to fix everything.

Now, for open source software, hate to say it but the docs have always been pretty crap. Certainly some stands out (usually when the business model was around providing services on top of open source software), but nobody is really paying anyone and few people really want to do that sort of free labor.
