1. I'm not sure what you're advocating here that wasn't already a best practice in software engineering.
2. This is a real benefit.
3. Not sure I follow, can you expand on this?
4. You don't have to be a perfectionist but you should still understand what it's doing.
5. Yes, this is hard and related to item 4.
In any case, you're not really contradicting OC since their comment was specifically referring to "the people who say they no longer read any code," and that's not what you're advocating at all (see point 5).
I wish more companies would just focus on webapps. It's infuriating how many services try to push an app on you when it's completely unnecessary. The other day I went to a restaurant that had an app. Not a fast food chain, a nice full-service place. No, I'm not going to download an app to order dinner.
Because who hates themselves that much? It's the thing I touch and interact with. That's exactly the part that needs to be sturdy, smooth, and pretty. It's the facade to the beast at the other end.
Also it'll be truly too slow. You need to at least be able to access a shared document while a video call is going.
The funniest recurring thing when working at Google was new hires getting baited into taking a Chromebook, then not being able to switch to a Mac for like 2 years. Our team made sure new people didn't fall for that.
This comment got me curious, so I searched for cheap laptops with mobile internet. There's at least one LTE Chromebook now for about 300 euros. This might be my next laptop if it can run Tailscale and remote desktop.
That's their point. Congress isn't going to get $10 million from providing universal healthcare (at least for any system that is any good), so they have no incentive to pass it. The year the ACA passed, Democrats suffered one of the worst legislative defeats in history. Nobody wants to be the person to tell millions of people that they can no longer see their chiropractor for free or that their healthcare is not longer paying thousands of dollars a month for weight loss medications.
There’s a disconnect between what people say they want, and what people actually want.
People say they don’t like the ACA. But if you try to revoke its grants, it’s political suicide. Which is why republicans don’t even try.
Bring back denying insurance for pre-existing conditions? Lower the age for parent-child plans? Can you even grasp just how wildly unpopular either of those would be? Or what about marketplace plans? Congratulations, you’ve just destroyed every small business and entrepreneur in the country. I’m sure that will go over well.
The ACA is universally loved. Yes, everyone likes it. They won’t say that because they don’t know exactly what it gave them, and they’ve taken it for granted. Many of you would be uninsurable without the ACA.
And that’s why, despite people complaining, the republicans do not dare repeal even parts of the ACA. It’s too popular, whether people know it or not.
I suspect a single payer system would be equivalent. It would be contested hard, but once it’s passed, it’s passed. It would become so unbelievably popular for a majority of the population that suggesting a repeal would immediately end your political career.
The purpose of having a human look at LLM output is not just to verify correctness but also to understand a system. The parallel to math is that the value of a proof is not just the verification of a statement but also the working out of the mathematics required to establish that truth.
This is blatantly false. Americans spend 18% of GDP on healthcare, while most European countries are around 10%.
