Commercial insurers are also moving from fee-for-service to value-based care payment models (with capitation being one approach). That isn't something unique to Medicare.

Increasing residency funding is a good idea, but I'm skeptical that it would reduce overall costs. With an aging population, demand for healthcare services is effectively infinite. The shortage of physicians is, paradoxically, one of the factors holding costs down today. If you can't see your doctor because appointments are backlogged for months then no insurance claim will be generated.

Creatine and whey.

Creatine because it gives me more energy during exerrcises.

Whey to complement protein intake during busy days.
There are so many interesting native plants that provide alternatives to our extremely rigid globalized food systems.

That's a really cool idea. Kudos!! A companion system should be relatively easy. It's also two single devices communicating with each other which makes things much simpler to build as well. This is worth looking closer into.
As I read it, he's not denying the effects either. He's just saying that not everything bad that happens wrt climate and weather is due to "climate change". Sometimes, it's just variations, which have always happened.
Currently homeless, driving Uber and Lyft. I've fixed my mental health after a shit storm of life events, mostly using AI as therapist.

I'm going back to school soon for psychology (figure financial aid can also pay room and board).

I'm wanting to build a mobile journal app with a bunch of AI guided 'games' to help learn DBT skills or work out trauma or do Shadow work or just guided CBT for a purpose.

I've changed my MBTI from intp-t to enfp-a...(I find I revert sometimes when I don't feel safe)... in other words I've become a very outgoing people person at least I'm a lot less afraid in social situations or to act like a fool on the dance floor... etc...

I also want to write a book and do videos on hacking your brain using AI... nobody seems to be doing this... there's a lot of potential for this niche I think.

I fixed hobbies, depression, and social life, all that's left is physical and financial and those are kind of easy when emotions are in check.
lol, that came off a bit more condescending than I intended. when I posted that I didn't actually realize he was the author either. I thought you were just using him as an example. I still stand by what I said that that guy's career path isn't exactly replicable.

Nope, but this post is such a neat illustration of the richness of "life" that fits into 39 real parameters (each circle can be coordinatized as 3 real numbers: one for its radius and two for its center) that my first thought on seeing it was also "no surprise then that a matrix with a million entries can talk like an erudite person".

Careful. You're smuggling in an assumption that isn't true. Machine don't have intellectual capabilities, and this follows from what the computer as formal construct is. They can simulate the appearance of intellectual ability, as LLMs can, at least in certain respects, but appearance ought not be conflated with cause.

Interesting, looks like I was out of date on that. Wikipedia shows the LCOE of different energy sources [0] and, while nuclear was at parity with natural gas & wind as the cheapest energy circa 2011, it has since become one of the most expensive (~2.5x solar).

Why did this happen? Why has the cost of nuclear doubled in the past decade?

I think that 28oz of dark chocolate, whether weight or volume, would be a ludicrous amount to eat in one sitting. A chocolate bar is about 1.5 oz (and 1 fluid ounce of water weighs 1 ounce, at least to a rough approximation), so to eat 28 you'd need to eat nearly 20 chocolate bars.

For that matter 24oz is rather a lot of coffee to drink at once. I brew my daily coffee with 200g of water, or only about 7 floz.

Besides the fact that this would give Amazon access to more data to train multimodal models, an area where they are lacking compared to Google/Meta, I don't see a good synergy here.

Yeah, same here. My Switch is essentially a indie game console (~indish, e.g. Hades, Darkest Dungeon), as I didn't want to pay the absurd prices of the first party titles.

With the Steam Deck coming out in the meantime, I'll likely pick that up soon instead of a Switch 2. Around the same price, much better specs (and also Bluetooth support, which the Switch 2 will supposedly be missing again), and access to a much bigger library of games.

I've got the book on my reader but haven't started it yet.

I've heard a few interviews though with the authors and while I'd like to see their ideas succeed I am suspicious of the idea that we can just get rid of the regulations that don't work.

All regulations work. There's a reason they get codified; they're working for someone. People who own property are voting for things not to change. It's not that they mistakenly think that building more housing is against their interest - it is against their interest.

Look at housing prices in Texas and California. Which would rather own a house in? In California it's going to be expensive and get more expensive. There are no can't miss investments but a house in CA. is pretty close. Now if you're buying a house Texas might be a better bet but owners are the ones running the regulatory environment.
I was thinking it could, actually, given a feedback loop. The tool use would a json that takes 13 circles, each with x, y position, radius, and whether it's filled in or empty, and output an image. It could look at the image and iterate.

Agreed with the "what does this achieve". In Corporate environments you would use SCCM or simply the Windows ADK plus WDS.

The Chinese room does not aim to show, nor does it show, that part-whole relationships fail nor is it even about part-whole relationships.

Yes, neurones do not understand "pen" -- but some highly particular whole bodies do (ie., english spekaing people). That's because of highly particular relationships between those neurones, the body, the environment, and the history of that language user.

This is the csci brain rot that searle is baffled by. Symbol manipulation implies no relationships between wholes and parts. The capcity to understanding meaning requires extraordinarily specific ones.

Fldigi is a free and open-source program which allows an ordinary computer's sound card to be used as a simple two-way data modem. The software is mostly used by amateur radio operators who connect the microphone and headphone connections of an amateur radio SSB or FM transceiver to the computer's headphone and microphone connections, respectively. This interconnection creates a "sound card defined radio" whose available bandwidth is limited by the sound card's sample rate and the external radio's bandwidth. Such communications are normally done on the shortwave amateur radio bands in modes such as PSK31, MFSK, RTTY, Olivia, and CW. Increasingly, the software is also being used for data on VHF and UHF frequencies using faster modes such as 8-PSK. Using this software, it is possible for amateur radio operators to communicate worldwide while using only a few watts of RF power.

I genuinely don't understand what the value is of actually applying the Turing Test as an evaluation of machine learning systems.
Java allows you to freely change any decision made by any author of any library you use. None of that ability has been taken away.

However, changing other code (and potentially changing the assumptions on which it was built) shouldn't be as easy as using it in a way that preserves its assumptions. If it were just as easy, you could accidentally break other code's assumptions.

In some situations, all that's required of you is merely to declare that you indeed intend to change some other code's assumptions; in more involved situations (e.g. a library method computes the sum of its argument and you want to change it to compute the product) the work is more involved, but you can still do it relatively easily.

What we have blocked is the ability of a library to change the assumptions of another library or of the application's without the application knowing about it. A library absolutely must not be allowed to do that while hiding that from the application.

~160lb, 30yo. I know it's nothing special on the world stage but it's irrelevant because everyone is on gear these days and I've never even taken creatine (got scared about hair loss, lol). I also used to rep out both dips and chinups with 60kg of weight attached which tended to attract attention. But no matter what I did I never felt like I needed to take days off. I remember the DOMS in the very early days of the gym, but that just stopped happening and never came back.

Maybe I wasn't pushing myself hard enough, but I also never got injured. How much more could I have realistically achieved by pushing harder? I don't think much. I got really put off trying so hard when I realised how many people were on gear.
I think the most interesting result [0] is, compared to our current benchmarks, on which scaling law is showing diminishing returns, what they did managed to tell apart large language models (Llama 405B, GPT-4.5) from not-so-large LMs.

This could be really interesting if it wasn't due to trivial f-up (e.g. difference in inference speed).

Verifiers can be based on a small proven kernel. That is not really the issue.

The issue is writing the formal specification. Formal verification is in nutshell just proving the equivalence of two different formal constructs: one that is called the spec and one that is called the system (or program). Writing specs is hard.
For World War 2 we relied on the British to name things (The US produced the M4 Medium Tank, the Brits called it the "Sherman"). The theory was they were government designed and (at least theoretically) produced by many companies.

I believe the Cold War names mostly came from US contractors- the government defined requirements ("air superiority fighter") and the contractors came up with designs that then had to be marketed against each other so they were given cool names ("Fighting Falcon").

Now there has been a lot of consolidation of contractors, and budgets are much more constrained. You no longer have the DoD funding competing designs and selecting, but a situation closer to early WW2 where the government is closer to the design.

At least that's my 5 minute guess, probably lots of 'citation needed' to be done.
Yes, it is impossible. People will think about things they find interesting regardless of your (dis-)approval. Who are you even calling "obsessive?" The collective of people who dare to mention algorithms you don't like? I mean, what the fuck?

Off the top of my head my understanding is a lot of collectables traded at shows (e.x. sneakers, antiques, cardsa) are done as cash transactions, so that could be one possible reason. If someone is an avid collector, or makes a living trading this stuff they could be going to a show with a large amount of cash in anticipation of buying.

The biggest reason decaf brews, tastes, and grinds so different is the processing essentially causes the beans to expands (so you can extract the caffeine out of the center of the very dense, green coffee) and then you need to dehydrate them back to the proper moisture content for roasting. You take a green coffee that is previously extremely dense and non-porous, and make it much much more porous. This leads to roasting difficulities and brittleness when grinding which seems to lead to fines.

I'd agree, less caffeine in the bean without decaffinating would lead to a better tasting coffee (if you want the lesser caffeine).

I don't personally believe that there's anything fundamentally preventing machines from being intelligent in the same way biological life is. Not to say that LLMs currently are.

Protein supplements, like all supplements, are for when you're falling short of your nutritional goals after accounting for your normal food intake. If you're getting enough protein through meals, then there is no need. Many people who lift weights try to achieve about 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight, which can be a lot. Protein supplements make that number easier to hit. Beyond that, there is little to no evidence that getting protein via a supplement is better or worse than through food sources. It is simply more convenient.
