You don't need to store the diffs for the coordinates that are not in the bloom filter. If the number of coordinates that changed is small, the size of the bloom filter will be small, and this is a significant optimization.
As a rule of thumb, Bloom filters require 10 bits per element for a 1% false positive rate. Say 100 pixels changed between the frames, that 1000 bits or ~125 bytes to store the which-pixel-changed-map.
Runlength encoding of the (in)active bits can use anything from ~10-200 bytes for 100 pixels (Say 1 byte per run, 200 runs of active vs. inactive in the worst case).
Yeah, I find it very strange that he's a well known thought leader even though he hasn't had a long tenure anywhere. To me, software is easy in the short term and hard in long term.
The main reason is that the government isn't funding it, like in other countries. I do agree the healthcare system in the US should be reformed. But the cost isn't going to go all away - it's just going to be shifted to higher taxes. Which is fine.
Sure, but I’m having a hard time understanding how developing nations the world over can afford to do this, but the USA cannot lol. I’ve used the healthcare systems in many developing nations, and while it’s not really fun, it is adequate and free for 80 percent of the issues that a person encounters.
For the other 20 percent, it’s best to go to a private clinic, where the care is as good if not better than many US clinics but at 10-20 percent of the cost.
And the private clinics are not subsidized.
My wife just got an MRI at a private, fully for profit imaging clinic. The total cost was $217 USD for a study with and without contrast on a 2023 Siemens scanner. Labs for the contrast approval were $6.
What people pay in the USA is in no way justified by equipment or facility costs. Runaway liability and profiteering, perhaps. But not because of the “quality” of the healthcare or the equipment.
I think there's a bunch of different things going on in the US healthcare system. I think for sure part of it is inefficiency.
But I don't really buy the argument that healthcare quality is the same elsewhere. Like, do you really think you're going to get the same care for, say, long term multiple sclerosis in the United States versus Guatemala? I feel a lot of the "the care is the same" comes from younger people who have had relatively easy interactions with the healthcare system. When you're over 70 it's a totally different ball game.
You can absolutely get the same standard of care for common things, but you might not get it for free. Where the standard of care does vary is where there are only a few specialists in the world for your condition.. they probably will be in the USA or Europe.
You have two elements in healthcare , for the most part: expertise, starting with basic medical education, then gained by reading and being exposed to patients, going to conferences and other experiential factors. People are ill, injured, or old everywhere, so this opportunity is well distributed.
Apart from that, you have technology, and people with money pay to have access to it, and people with money are also everywhere, so that too tends to be distributed.
There are also a lot more doctors per person in many developing nations, because education of doctors tends to be highly subsidized in those countries. You get a lot more of a doctors time and focused attention with your consult.
It’s when things are rare that it can be harder, but even then, sometimes the leading specialists start out off the beaten path.
> Alberta was created within Canada by subdividing what was then the Northwest Territories, already part of Canada.
The same is true of the majority of the US states. The original 13 colonies and Texas and Florida (and maybe a few more?) had some preexisting status, but the rest were created out of Federal territories.
True, but they were then granted the same sovereign status as the original 13 colonies, and Texas, and Florida.
One example of the difference is that in the US, there's state and federal criminal law, and state authorities draw their legitimacy from the state constitution. The criminal code in Canada is entirely federal.
Territories were not merely cut up into states. They were cut up into states in a way to ensure there would be an equal number of free states and slave states. Certain states might not have existed if not for these considerations.
Figured as much, anyone opening a database to any sort of potentially hostile input should know to restrict the permissions.
I'm more focused on the AI side of things. Like, if it's done as a part of the (system) prompt, it should eventually be possible to evict the command tokens when the context window becomes too large?
The error message came instantaneously, plus when asking a "legitimate" input ("what does user mschuster91 write about") it not just struggled to write legitimate SQL but explicitly said so in its response, so I think this is either seriously reinforced during training to not ever run a DELETE or otherwise destructive operation or there's some sort of firewall.
The German person you link to was attempting to enter the US to work as a tattoo artist which is not allowed under tourist visa programs. I actually think the law should be more flexible and this kind of casual work should be allowed. However the law as it currently stands doesn't allow it and they were "correctly" denied entry.
The reason this person wasn't put on a "quick flight home" is because they (along with the British person) were detained at a land port of entry so there's no option to send them straight back.
In general, I think two things are simultaneously true. One is that Trump is cracking down on immigration. The second is that the media are suddenly reporting on a lot of cases -- like the German and British women -- that aren't actually new but were happening under Biden. It's just now the media has an angle and narrative such that these cases are deemed report worthy.
The net effect is your talking about putting non criminals in detention facilities rife with human rights violations.
As a hypothetical, if you can visit two countries and one offers the risk of indefinite detainment , which is roughly dependent on how behind the customs officials are on their quotas. Or another country that at most will just send you home, I think most will pick the country that just sends people home.
They can figure out a way to get people to Venezuela faster than due process, they can figure out a way to get a British nanny back to London without detaining her indefinitely.
how about denying them entry, and turning them back to the country they were entring from (Mexico in your example), so that they can fly back home from there?
nit: USBP (US Border Patrol) is not at the ports of entry. Border Patrol is for the land border _between_ ports of entry. CBP (customs and border protection) is the organization that does immigration control at the ports of entry.
Perks have gotten better in some dimensions - for example, parental leave is much more generous than it was even 5 years ago. And that’s probably a more important perk than free backpacks tbh.
I'd be interested in utilization. When I was there and had my kids, it was 12 weeks, and I never took the full 12 weeks because it was too long for me. (I took 6, the 7, then 4-5 IIRC.)
A single lookup is going to take more than 30ns, the reason they only see that is that the OoO machinery of their CPU is good enough to run those lookups in parallel.
