The one time I had an employer involved that closely they completely dropped the ball and I had to crash on a friend's couch. Again I don't think having corporate administration so closely involved in your life is a great idea just because of the dumb things they occasionally do.

I think a better way to phrase what you're thinking is the social mobilizing utility/effect of college depends on making these connections.

I use a 500 million parameter model for editor completions because I want those to nearly instantaneous and the plugin makes 50+ completion requests every session.

LLMs will write code this way if you ask but you have to know to ask.

Yes. University needs to be university. It's never been good at being other things.

People have completely forgotten why it mattered on resumes to begin with. Association with a university signaled an appreciation for philosophy, now it signals tolerance for administrative abuse.

Would you really want anything else? I can't really imagine how you're expecting that to work.

The way it's worked for me is I've been given a small relocation bonus and then I'm responsible for figuring the details out.

If you have good flipflops you can walk miles without having to take a break. The other year Walmart had some really good George brand flipflops I used to wear everywhere.

See I think part of the problem is people keep complaining about "the rich" and then propose and implement policies that go after normal middle class Americans instead. A few decades of this and you have a social norm that flat out doesn't work for normal people so they just start torching things.

He didn't say it's not a big deal, he said checkups are relatively predictable. Those mean very different things. Moving the predictable costs behind insurance and administration artificially inflates it because there's less pressure on providers to compete.

If people weren't doing dumb things with insurance to try and socialize healthcare costs there's a good chance your friend would have been able to afford going to the doctor whether or not he was insured.

It may be that the Americans don't like what the USA has turned into and want it to end.

Healthcare costs will grow without bound near the end. Your model only works if everyone choses every treatment available in the end which is just dumb because the outcome is the same.

It's appropriate for premia to be very high for geriatrics. The appropriate response is to chose when you're done not to crush younger workers so you can sit in a hospital bed for an extra month.

Also an exponential distribution is still a probability distribution you can trade volatility on.

That infact is not how insurance works. You don't charge low risk people insane premia because it isn't fair. My car insurance is far cheaper than my sister's for this reason for example.

Even if I had an event (outside something way out in the tails where I might not even want the treatment anyway if it's free because my QoL suffers too much either way) I'm coming out with a loss because I'm forced to subsidize care for high risk people as well as very bloated administration. Having the insurance doesn't make sense.

even when you're one of the people that needs healthcare

Insurance is an instrument for trading volatility not socializing costs. Those are radically different things.

It doesn't seem to me like the current configuration makes people less sick or poor.

Charging what they do for what they do and insisting it can't get lower? Yes incompetence is absolutely the correct word. Just because we can't choose to go elsewhere isn't a excuse.

Heh I wasn't an adult then. All I've experienced is being forced to buy insurance with a premium so high my risk adjusted return for self insuring is actually higher. I was so happy when the individual mandate was finally killed. That was just straight theft by incompetent health care administration.

Not necessarily. The fork could get packaged instead if the users prefer it.

God forbid we touch Obamacare though.

It already works that way on X11.

Linux is already set up to handle this better than Windows actually since most apps are open source and abusive window management is likely to result in PRs.

Yeah a lot of people who are either malicious or just bad at philosophy got involved and now everyone thinks AI ethics/AI safety is a joke at best. These kinds of people are surprisingly bad at learning from mistakes like this and will probably double down, turning both the public and industry against them.

I'm just going to bounce if you ask for ID and if I can't find a forum I like I'll get a foreign VPS and host it myself.

The only way around that is to kill the internet, good luck recreating North Korea's intranet as a replacement.

Get rid of the CA-style provider certification and let me implement the API directly, myself, with just Python or a C compiler.

Until you do that it's corpo malware and I will live in a tent in the woods before I use it.

All they do either way is poke at the GUI and maybe watch the HTTP requests.

The real goal of the review process is to maintain control over the UX, not prevent malware. If you want to see a review process that stops malware read a Linux distribution mailing list.

The voting cybernetics on Reddit already made it a bad AI. Subreddits would just decide certain memes were real. I remember one technical subreddit for a project I was involved in that decided things worked a certain way. I would show up to correct people and get downvoted while people posting popular myths would have their posts at the top of the threads for everyone to read.

It really killed the site for me. I think going there will often mean you understand less, not more.

If the tariffs are high enough there won't be a premium. It also solves the deficit spending problem which needs to happen since no one seems to be able to handle the idea of any spending cuts.

Apple doesn't instrument apps when they review them. That burden is already there, they've just convinced you otherwise.

I've heard ibkr will ban you if they can detect algorithmic trading.

If you had the option of a position with feduciary duty and lower pay would you pick it? Probably not. That's essentially what you're arguing for.

Even the user space updates (outside gnome which most people avoid) don't make breaking changes at nearly the rate you see in iOS.

Every time you claim to go after the "rich" you just go after normal people. I think everyone has figured that out.
