Yes, this exists now. You can ask Claude to output the document in markdown format and then convert that markdown into HTML, or ask for the output in HTML. For example, using Claude 3.7 Sonnet the following prompt outputs a vanilla HTML document:

write two paragraphs extolling the benefits to mariners of the Jones act and provide the output formatted in vanilla html

The first thing you should do is give yourself some slack. You are worthy of love and joy. You got dealt a bad hand, and that sucks. It's not surprising you're tired, distracted, and demoralized. So care for yourself, forgive yourself.

You didn't say what country you were in, but check at your school for mental health resources.

What to do: Stay in school and finish your degree. While doing that, try to figure out where you want to go after you finish your degree. You are not alone, the world is large and filled with wondrous people and things. Maybe go and find the nest of the sī murğ (from what I understand it lies beyond Mount Qaf).

Four Team Types 3 years ago

A "boot" is US Marine who has recently completed basic training (commonly called "boot camp"). It's a multi-use term and not a simple insult (but it's never a positive statement).

A cellular enabled Apple Watch might be a good choice if they can wear/charge a watch. It's pretty easy to navigate and doesn't require them to have their own phone. It's pretty easy to send text messages with one, too. As for the pre-paid issue, watches are often ad-ons (in the States at least) and are (usually) not expensive.

There are also a couple of companies that sell purpose-build wearables for this, but their privacy situation is sometimes murky.

It's probably worth buying the cheapest pre-paid android phone you can and doing some test runs. When my kids were that age, battery management was the biggest issue we ran into (that and trying to explain Spam calls).

If they are on FMLA you can’t fire them but you can eliminate their job. However, if they are on a leave unrelated to FMLA there might be no protections and the employee can be terminated.

I would suggest using the video feed from each drone to localize it (since it's in a known space). You'll need to do a few passes beforehand and record the background. Doing a puzzle-piece style match isn't terribly (computationally) difficult and then you can fuse the position data in your visualization.

It's happening but it is not all that widespread. In my experience consulting in the USA, it tends to happen in situation where the client doesn't have the budget to hire a domestic team but doesn't have a real requirement the team be domestic. I liken it to someone who buys grey-market property. They don't ask too many questions and they don't want to know.

It doesn't happen too often because there isn't a lot of profit in this. Better to just hire a domestic sales person or PM or customer relations person and be open about it.

Yes, and it was very much worse than rest n' vest culture. Up or Out culture solves the problems that lead to rest n' vest but creates a bunch of other problems.

IMHO, rest n' vest is a good problem to have and not a problem to be solved. It means the company retains institutional knowledge quite affordably. As long as the rest n' vest people are out of the way (ie not in leadership positions). It's better to think of Rest n' vest as corporate UBI because it's not as expensive as the alternatives.

I can think of a couple. DMN kinda does this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_Model_and_Notation

and Drools: https://www.drools.org

There are papers describing using OWL for biz rules, too: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-32689-....

One of the biggest problems (IMHO) in this space (which I've worked in CLIPS-based systems http://clipsrules.sourceforge.net) is that business rules are often not as "logical" as they seem and can cause real problems for novices without formal logic training. Sometimes the business rules aren't even "rules" as such, which makes it really hard to both create and explain.

Try one of the big consulting firms. They will only care about the degree and your friend can learn a lot of stuff, make a little money, and use that time to figure out where in the industry they really want to go. The job will probably suck, but they'll learn a lot.

Assuming you mean in the USA: a few. ASC’s (Ambulatory Surgical Centers) are more likely to do this in areas with a lot of cash payers. In Ohio and PA there are healthcare agencies that cater to the Amish and Amish-adjacent that will often have cash-price lists.

However, for a lot of health care the checklist you describe simply doesn’t exist. If I enter an ER/Urgent care there is no checklist that can be provided before I agree to anything. Insurance companies have extensive information about these costs, but that info is proprietary and not easily available (this information is used for a lot “prequalify before treatment” type things).

The one exception here is Medicare/Medicaid expenses. Both systems have exhaustive price lists for ICD/CPT/etc codes.

From the abstract of this pre-print and not peer reviewed paper:

Randomized control trials have not clearly demonstrated mask efficacy against respiratory viruses, and observational studies conflict on whether mask use predicts lower infection rates.

That is a very strong assertion not backed up with facts. Especially given that a quick google lands me at: The First Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial of Mask Use in Households to Prevent Respiratory Virus Transmission https://www.ijidonline.com/article/S1201-9712(08)01008-4/ful.... Which was published in 2008.

I'm assuming your asking about an IC role and not something higher up the food chain. If you want to stay in the Bay Area, I'd say FlexPort is a safer bet. Anduril isn't (IMHO) going to be a public company and (based on Brose's work) are a better acquisition target for one of the main defense players. But if you have read Brose's book, then I'd say you would enjoy Anduril more than flexport.

I dunno. I suspect that the fact of MS being the only AR headset you can buy today is a bigger part of this. If there were any competition you might be able to argue this. It's not like AR is even close to being mature enough to use in any contested space.
