There is an MLR (Medical Loss Ratio) rule; essentially, an insurer can keep 20% of premiums they collect. So in order to increase profits, they have to inflate premiums; in the end, 20% of $1,000 is much better than 20% of $100. And that's the reason hospitals charge $50 for an ibuprofen pill. There are other tricks like vertical integration (an insurance company owns a medical provider), quality improvements, etc... But in the end, it's an optimization game — max(users * premium_cost) — and that's why for-profit medicine/insurance sucks. (Now, spend 1% of all collected premiums for lobbing, to make sure the system keeps working lol).

Aaaaactually, it's the other way around: the insurance is the only reason it cost $58K.

Slopification. On a plus side, I'm more offline later.

NFLX series and AI slop are converging fast.

Agreed comrade, only goverment sanctioned communication should be allowed.

I hate this common trope about health food costing more. Beans, lentil, rice, potatos, carrots, onions, cabbage, garlic don't cost a lot, add some additional cheap proteins like chicken and eggs and you're good to go for like $50 or less per week per person. And if you can buy in bulk and freeze, then it can get even cheaper.

What does 'now' mean here?

And even if they are, where does it say that drug traffickers should be executed on the spot? Furthermore, where is the law that punishes drug trafficking with death?

I wonder how it's different from when a collegue sends you an llm PR.

Does it really matter? Here, n is a very small number, which is almost a constant. I'd assume the iteration over the n space is negligible compared to the other parts of a request to a node.

Yeah, they even don't need devs to release it, Altman can just ask ChatGpt to write it for him. lol.

I do care, in fact I started bying vinyl and CDs again. I will not consume AI slop.
