The $130K person is covered by a union.

50% is anything but mediocre.

Looking at this, seeing that 50% are homeowners is actually astoundingly good. In a lot of countries 50% cannot afford to be homeowners. This is an international community here on HN, would love to hear takes from other countries.

I agree with your sentiment, but to answer your question: Since forever. (At least I know examples in the 90's). In the old days of comp.lang.lisp, there were certain individuals who would really get off on denigrating people who wrote

I wonder if that's a recent change. When I first started using OpenCode, it didn't ask permissions. I had to manually go and set that config to get it to ask. There may be differences based on whether the command is under the dire

I don't think the site is claiming otherwise. And as for Frank Herbert's Dune, I gave it a try. I read the first two books, and was 20% of my way through the third when I realized that "No, this whole story is not going to ge

Would not recommend for fiction - at least not mass market fiction. But Mortimer probably felt those were not reading, and the method would work for him :-) When I read How To Read a Book , I was quite impressed. In practice ... it's

AKA the "Be your own advocate and demand more testing!" crowd. Although Kaiser tends to repel such patients (they'll happy say "No" and tell you to find some other provider). The bulk of complaints I've heard a

This is a challenge for me. On the one hand, pre-LLM there was plenty of software out there for medical use, and they had to be HIPPA compliant, etc. I've worked with people who used to write that SW (they hated the job because HIPPA w

This translates to "I'd rather get the traditional types of medical errors instead of the modern types of medical errors." Better the devil you know ...

In a similar vein: Will not go to a doctor who is a DO and not an MD. We all have our biases.

The Earth was mostly the same in the 1300's. Let's use material from that time to do engineering.

I don't think so. ML was always associated with AI. When it wasn't, it was called statistics.

> Get the doctor to assess the nurse. Definitely don't do this. I know doctors. I know nurses. Plenty of doctors view nurses as their slaves. And besides, doctors aren't qualified. These are different roles.

No - read my original comment.

Customer satisfaction in California is not great. In the Northwest (Oregon + Washington), it's pretty high. Not sure about other locations (Hawaii, etc). But again: Customer satisfaction doesn't mean best outcomes...

Let me suggest the following: Ask the nurses if they want the customer to rate them. A significant fraction of the calls they answer are patients shouting at them because of: - Long wait times - They don't like their doctor - They don&
