I love DSPy! But yes, its curse is that it’s native to LLMs and makes the python side awkward and weird. I’m willing to make this prediction: It’s clearly built from first principles and the ideas from it will outlast the framework itself.

Be careful with thermal paper; they are notoriously full of BPA/BPE/BPS[1]. It's fine to handle them once in a while but don't make habit of it. BPA/BPE/BPS-free thermal paper is harder to find than one might t

Broadly, in the US, the Federal Wiretap Act of 1968 still applies. You're going to have to convince a judge otherwise. Yes, perhaps broad dragnet type of might be scoffed down by some judges (outside of Patriot act FISA judges ofc) I w

yes, but you are very much mission driven in the military, especially in a small unit. For me, it was the bad mission set and not the sleep deprivation that personally drove me out.

My understanding: Like you mentioned the main difference is that digital cash is an abstract type. With our current cash we can very easily convert to/from an int currency to physical cash. With digital cash it might be more difficult

Curious if this is just marketing from Porsche. Makes no sense why VW wouldn't adopt the system for similar effects. I'm not sure I buy the reasoning but I'll keep a open mind.

In retrospect I would have done the same: Force the nursing homes to accept their residents back if the residents have no other options. However, I would have throw in much more aid to the ones that were forced. Cash + PPE + National Guard.

Hospitals did in fact need the beds (nursing home beds >>> hospital beds). Additionally they are ill-equipped for the skilled help these people needed. People suffer from dementia/alzheimers and hospitals only option is to han

Where could those people going back to nursing home go? I'm assuming that if another facility or their family could have taken them they would have opted for that. Reminder that likely these people needed 24/7 skilled nursing help

I do wonder sometimes if it's a gift or a curse to know that your eventual death is coming soon. Death is such a weird concept that at least I personally feel I lack the hardware to fully comprehend or be at peace with (as of right now
