12k for insurance is not enough.

Normal commercial insurance is much more expensive, let alone ambulances.

And don’t forget, the EMS employees need malpractice insurance and the company needs liability and workman’s comp insurance above the normal commercial levels

You need more than the crew in the ambulance.

Dispatch, maintenance, janitors, HR, managers.

They also need continuous training, and that is also a large salary cost for training staff (you have to pay them and the trainer).

Uncertainty is one thing, but a high chance means it’s 51% or higher to me.

Based on that, the bun rewrite messaging was fairly misleading.

You’d never be able to update it’s knowledge.

LLMs need retraining to incorporate new knowledge.

Baking them into wafers means they will be out of date by the time they finish the first wafers.

That doesn’t make sense, they spent billions on a shopping spree of game devs.

Their game pass business model, which is terrible for consumers once the rug pull happens, is making them a lot of money and market share

Why? You can’t yell fire in a crowded place, but “this is going to destroy the world, sign up now” is okay?

Most things should be fact based, but you also should have limits to your marketing

Why does helm get all the hate?

I like helm. Helm has so much to offer and it’s not complicated.

It’s basically like handlebars/ mustache using golang.

Handlebars/mustache was what early angular/react used for templating.

You can tell the LLM to optimize the Django ORM. With ORMs, large structural changes are sometimes needed for small query text changes due to how ORMs generate the SQL.

I’m a SWE and at my previous job it fell to me to optimize some queries that used EF Core ORM. I gave opus a local db with a small export of anonymized prod data, had it generate a billion rows with similar cardinality.

Then I told opus how to get the raw SQL and told it to write unit tests with various optimizations.

It got the query down from 5+ minutes to a few seconds. I verified the final SQL and ORM structure.

All it needed was to modify some indices and fix up the ORM to properly generate the lateral join.

However, to get the join working properly required a full restructure of the ORM query.

Worse, it’s “don’t worry, the next data centers will be in space, so it’s okay if the ones we are building right now destroy the environment, there won’t be anymore!”

It’s the exact tactic he used with California HSR

Religion provides certain benefits in the military. If you are say a Christian, you get assigned time to go to a (hopefully) air conditioned church and relax and recover. Even if it’s short, it can be beneficial to collect yourself in a high stress situation like basic training/boot camp.

If you elect not to go to a religious service, you typically have to keep doing whatever you are doing. Atheists or other less organized religions should be treated equally under the law. If a Christian gets a 90 minute religious service, an atheist should also get 90 minutes to do whatever they want.

You also see this reflected with something like The Satanic Temple advocating for human rights under the guise of religion.

In my opinion, religious organizations should not have any more rights or privileges than businesses.
