I had the same issue with Zepbound (tirzepatide) 10mg/0.5ml when they wanted to push me to Wegovy (semaglutide), even though Zepbound was already working and helping. Zepbound isn't even on their formulary now.
I wrote the insurance company a detailed letter (helped by AI) containing evidence for the benefits of Zepbound over Wegovy and Zepbound over nothing, as well as documented the benefits I already experienced taking the medication. They approved coverage based on this pushback, and I just paid $25 for 3 months' supply.
I get where you're coming from, but I think the part you're missing is that caching is not optional (per the "with the cache disabled" comment). If you're running a service like theirs, you need to do caching to some degree.
My understanding of their implementation is that it does caching on a per-worker basis with lower TTLs, so it balances caching with accuracy, but doesn't "fix" visibility to the problem either. However, it narrows the window such that their method of monitoring will very likely expose a pulled domain sooner.
There's no plurality on "the right" that holds the perspectives you're attributing to them. What you've stated is the pristine modern example of propaganda and is exactly why there is no healing.
Hasn't everything DeepSeek and Alibaba created thus far been distilled from the results of many, many accounts logging into Claude and ChatGPT? And that's why there's so much bot detection now at US frontier labs? Doesn't that make the Chinese labs dependent until some unknown point in the future on advancements of US frontier labs? While what they currently provide is cheap, it seems like it's artificially cheap and somewhat static because they took others' intellectual property (no comment needed about US frontier labs stealing the world's knowledge... that's a separate topic).
It's refreshing to see there actually be positive movement on accountability from the bureaucracy of the US federal government. I work very hard for almost four months every year to earn the money to pay taxes (whether I want to do that or not) that seem to disappear into the ether. I'd love to have some visibility into what is working, not working, and what is being redirected to some arbitrary bureaucrat's particular intrigues.
Having incentive to produce useful outcomes seems like it would be something folks would be in support of, but it appears many here think this is the end of the world just because it's Trump doing it. At least there's consistency in that regard. Le sigh.
We used it for several years after our needs outgrew IRC. From the cloud version starting in 2013, we migrated to the hosted version in 2016, and it was a pretty painless migration and not too hard to manage/update. I think it stuck around for several years after that until the parent org moved everyone over to Slack Enterprise.
HipChat felt like a great featureset-to-complexity ratio. All-in-all good memories :)
> I lost a three-month contract because of the current war involving Iran.
I’m sorry for your loss of work. It’s very difficult in the current economic environment. I’ve been laid off twice in the last ~6 months in mass layoffs by large tech companies and finding employment has been a struggle, even as a senior and experienced individual in the industry.
> I still do not understand why Iran had to be attacked.
The Iranian regime has killed over 1000 Americans over the last 47 years of its rule and has been persuing nuclear armaments at all costs to itself and its people, because it’s led by religious fanatics bent on destroying all of western culture and society. Their leadership is not reasonable and has no survival instinct, even when they’re on their last leg (in some cases literally).
The US is in the precarious position of 1) resolving the issue with religious fanatics persuing nuclear weapons, 2) doing so with as little impact to the Iranian citizenry as possible, 3) spending blood and treasure to do so, 4) doing the world a favor while being critiqued for it every step of the way, and 5) doing all of this in the historical context of appeasement and kicking the can down the road by feckless former US leadership setting a precedent of tolerating terrorist regimes and activities.
As is the case in an abusive relationship, when we’re so used to the wrong thing being done, it certainly does seem confusing and jarring when the right thing is done for once.
Why would IBM even be permitted to deny this in such an agreement? The CEO is literally on recorded video advocating for discrimination against certain races of people. That’s disgusting.
It’s as if doctors and the whole western medical industry has completely lost the trust of patients. I wonder what could have led to so many people losing their faith in that industry.
Could it be the insurance kickbacks they’re now known to receive for vaccine administration? Could it be that they got the food pyramid completely wrong for decades? Could it be that we’re now sicker than ever with all of their “help”?
I grew up trusting doctors and vaccinating my children, but it’s not exactly surprising that we have the results that they’ve given us (sicker than ever) and trust is lost.
I can't believe I had to scroll this far down to see something slightly critical of this conspiratorial post and collection of HN comments.
Everyone here needs to take a deep breath, step back, and remind yourselves that everything you're claiming is unproven and is a conspiracy theory. The language of the contracts is not publicly available
> 1. You don't deport millions of undocumented people, you find a way integrate those who are willing to work (most of them) into your society.
How is that currently working out for all of Europe? Hint: not well at all.
> 2. Obama and Biden didn't get the same level of attention because they weren't being publicly antagonistic and racist, or using deliberately cruel tactics to accomplish their goals. Or breaking the law / violating the constitution to meet their ends.
You've made a lot of ambiguous accusations right here. Can you please give specific examples?
Likely because it mentions JD Vance and the current US administration in a positive light, since they have rightly shone a bright light on the active decline of free speech in Europe.
> Why can't we classify a level or something? For example "Autistic level 1" for Asperger's, "Autistic level 2" for barely verbal, "Autistic level 3" for non-verbel... Something like that
Congratulations, the DSM-5 must have heard you talking :) It does have levels for autism, and classifies the levels in terms of support required:
- Level 1: Requiring support
- Level 2: Requiring substantial support
- Level 3: Requiring very substantial support
> To lump both those together is insane.
I'm diagnosed with ADHD and also clearly on the spectrum. This life has been decades of confusion and--finally--answers & discovery. My time with my son--diagnosed as Level 1 autistic--and my time observing people in Level 2 and level 3 makes me realize that what you say about lumping everything together is spot on. I always feel like our diagnoses make life oh so difficult, but then I see what parents and guardians of Level 3 autistic people go through and have nothing but endless empathy.
> At least Grokipedia tries to look like it was written with the intent to inform, not spoonfeed an opinion.
In addition, Grokipedia isn't encumbered by a Perennial Sources List[0] whose "generally reliable" section consists entirely of center and/or center-left media sources, and seems to be entirely purposed for gatekeeping.
The web site of the US television news network with by far the most viewership (Fox) was moved from "generally reliable" to "marginally reliable" for scientific and political claims, while MSNBC and CNN remain "generally reliable". This fact is laughable, considering MSNBC and CNN's mutual refusal to report on things like the Arctic Frost[1] (currently) and Hunter Biden laptop[2] (historically) conspiracies initiated under the Biden administration. Fox reported on both, but is not allowed as a source despite being the only major news network to not suppress the stories.
When an "encyclopedia" only allows unrestricted use of sources that fail to report information on notable news (such as conspiracies that are more far-reaching than Watergate), the encyclopedia will become less used by people because they no longer trust its new organizational and editorial biases.
Some folks, including myself, rarely reference Wikipedia anymore, because it often doesn't have the information being researched, and even if it does, we can't be sure we're getting very much (or any!) of the full story. This is broadly demonstrated by Wikipedia's constant decline in traffic from 2022 (~165M visits/day) through the present (~128M visits/day)[3].

Might be a potential avenue for some folks...
