That's extremely silly. drunk, inexperienced, and elderly drivers are all human drivers. You can't just exclude them from your baseline because they are not in perfect driving form. Let's also exclude young drivers, stupid dr

I don't know anything about this specific case but this exact thing will be a major barrier for autonomous vehicles to overcome. Instead of benchmarking AVs against the current, human-caused number of vehicular deaths - people will nat

Seems to me that the argument is really "are my premiums a passthrough to medical providers" and I have a really hard time answering Yes to that. If they are, then what do we call it when my medical expenses surpass my premiums? N

No, they're collecting money specifically on behalf of a 3rd party and then giving it directly to that 3rd party. They are custodians of that money only, it never even hits their bank account (goes into a dedicated trust account before

We have this in our harness markdown: ``` ## Comments Use comments extremely sparingly. Most comments should be at the request of the user. When something warrants a comment, keep it to one or two lines: what the code does and why it's

Not sure I'm buying it tbh. I'm no fan of the American healthcare system, but we don't need to invent new accounting to make it look worse than it is. Lots of businesses and industries have legal obligations to pay money for

But like, what is it? Odd that this reached #1 on HN. The README is pretty bare outside of installation instructions and a link to "Cordis", which is "A Meta-Framework of Spatiotemporal Composability." and "under ac

Do you think that cutting funding to a lab would improve or hinder its ability to react to an outbreak like this one?

The reviews (both the contents and total count) are not exactly confidence inducing.

The article talks very directly about abandoning human code reviews. Couple that with a layer of AI agents whose purpose is to produce work for other AI agents, and you've got yourself a very efficient token burning feedback loop.

It's a coordination problem. 70 amazingly responsible adults still need to coordinate amongst one another. Ad hoc coordination and communication always breaks down eventually.

Well yes, ideally. But real world codebases aren't clean enough to be used as the example ideal. Styles change over time, there are always code migrations and refactors in flight, legacy code exists, etc. Using specific examples of wha

This is fine for one off tools and I do the same. But building long-lived "professional grade" production software this fails real quickly. My team is using AI for most of the code, but the human review layer is crucial and unavoi

Yea. Modern Ruby is "fast enough", but it's very real that when Ruby was hitting its peak it was dog slow. It's hard to shake those sorts of reputations (similar to the "can't scale" reputation that Rails
