Is this the common cost or is this an outlier blog story that hit it off. Talk real data to me. I don't get excited about any individual anecdote (unless it's me personally of course).
No people shouldn't be bankrupted for a short cab ride that's not needed. I'm not arguing that.
He refused to go in an ambulance the first time. He could have refused the second ride. You can refuse transport or medical care at any time as long as you are able to make rational decisions.
As an EMT if you're A&Ox4, alert to time, place, person and event, you make the choices. You do sign a release so we have proof we didn't abandon you, but you make the choice. If we move you without your approval, it's kidnapping or entrapment (not hit me up law arguers). To do that we either need implied consent (minor no parent, not A&Ox4, or Law Enforcement).
My department, a small rural one with a small tax base which happens to cover a lot of injuries because we have 20 miles of dangerous mountain pass freeway and a ski and mountain bike area, only charge for calls if we transport. I think a transport is around $900. Our minimum transport is 37 miles. We scale it down depending on income and type of event. We're not massive sticklers about it. We're just trying to cover wear and tear on big expensive vehicles for all the non-transports, winter driving, equipment, uniforms, training, etc. Most of our "business" comes from "transients" eg folks who don't live there, eg those skiing, hiking, biking, or driving over the pass.
This is also very much not the norm. But should explain a bit about those who do pay are covering those who don't.
We don't want a chilling effect on calling 911 for precautionary stuff. We'd rather show up 99 times and check people out and let them go than miss the impending cardiac event. And we get those. It's very interesting just how much going over a 4k foot pass stresses people on the edge. Many of our medica calls are people driving to seattle for deeper care and things exacerbating when they get to 4k feet.
I stopped playing TIS100 after about 40 minutes becuase:
a) the editors, come on man
b) I realized I could just learn FPGA instead and it would be more useful. so I didn't do either
talking to several of the catalog unification projects and doing promo reviews for people, it turns out it wasn't as easy to do as people thought. there's places it worked well (media) and others where it's a lot harder.
So far the only thing I've seen useful out of apple intelligence is running parakeet natively and effectively... which should have been their very first feature... given it's been on phones for 10+ years.
As someone who wants to run effective llms locally for many things their other big benefit has been the unified memory studios for a small bit.
I could barely get in or out of the original tesla roadster. I had to go out on my hands. Was fun to drive. My feet just didn't make it out the door sills sideways. Same thing for the back of a jeep cherokee in the late 90s.
I'm 6'2" and have size 13 feet. I'm not making my shoulder, hips, or feet smaller without a hammer.
I'd agree. but also that's too scary. and the bottleneck is the massive manual change control process since there's no automation around any of this. :)
Why take risk when you can spend money and take no risk
yes, but a person who doesn't know any of this stuff is infinitely more productive with ai than someone who isn't when it comes to many things.
we've got product folks vibing out prototypes (not shippable but clickable) in our main front end in a few minutes to an hour. This would previously have involved 3 people and several weeks, or a ton of figma and documents to fill in the gaps. This saves weeks to months and lets them really experience the items.
Then they hand it off to someone who knows all that stuff who is also using AI and the impl also gets done faster.
The PMs are either moving infinitely faster, or at least 30x faster and not blocked constantly by others.
basically you're not comparing people who don't know much (tech) with those who do, you're comparing them before and after access to AI.
except for you know the enterprise customers who won't change their code and will pay to run old inefficent hardware just to keep from dealing with upgrades?
Can you not just move the epxensive part (the gpu itself) to a new carrier board in that situation? Also isn't most of the cost of the GPU itself the design of the board, not actually making one, esp if you can move the heat sinks around?
I had a very well crafted will from my parents, one of whom was a very good lawyer hiring other good lawyers. It was still a pain in the ass for many of the reasons they were trying to make it easy for us.
One thing I learned, just bite the bullet and re-write the whole fucking will instead of making riders.
Piecing the will together from riders was terrible. Al the clauses fell away everyone got older. The final will could have been 8 pretty clear pages.
The other part that is hard is just knowing all of the things that happen with assets and a passing. Luckily we had another lawyer and financial folks to advise us. It was still a lot and not that easy to find details. This was pre-ai that would have helped walk through his shit.
most of the movie is about his personal thoughts about making the bomb and the direction things go with brinkman ship. I disliked the movie because it spent so little time on on the building.
they completely glossed over Graves in Oppenheimer, one of the many reasons I hated that movie. There's a great "scene" in "the making of the atomic bomb" that also appears in the movie that they botched. Something along the way of oppenheimer stressing over "how do we pick the right way to make the bomb" and graves saying "simple, we do all of them". There's so much interesting material there and they instead focused on bed sheets.
