I keep having dreams where I wake up in Conamara. Last night an old guy was asking me to translate from English but the sentences didn't make sense. He was like, how do you say "Seán was temporary", I locked in and said "níor bhuan é" and he was surprised and pleased.
What mean.

@MVPatty15 @Rabadash2 Costs are inflated because of massive ammounts of public money flowing into private healthcare where they can set whatever price they want for anything as long as they charge that to everyone.insurance companies are the only reason doctors treat non government paid patients
English
@Rabadash2 Without the insurance companies, there would be no need to charge thousands of dollars to measure your heartbeat though
The costs are inflated BECAUSE of private health insurance companies
English
This is not about rationing care, its about a insurance companies being the last line of defense against doctors charging you thousands to measure your heartbeat
CH@chertz
I love that his defense of insurance companies ends with its natural conclusion: rationed care. “OMG they are heroes, could you imagine if doctors just healed and people could just get treatment? The horror”

I think this is what AI will take from us, knowledge like this, the ability to converse like this on topics that you have deep knowledge of, because why bother spending years deepening your understanding of something when you can just ask AI to spew it out for you. And most of our conversations of length these days are done over typed message. No one really has these type of conversations face to face anymore. When was the last time you really chewed it out on a topic with a friend irl?

@TheeuwesMark @Johnrobholmes @IsaacKing314 Wwll you dont get a good understanding of inflation from it because you are literally comparing apples to oranges.
English
@Johnrobholmes @IsaacKing314 The basket of goods changes because consumers change. If bananas become $25, people will buy oranges. That may understate the inflation of bananas specifically, but accurately accounts for the change in total spending
English
Economics tip: If adjusting for inflation doesn't give you the number you want, just adjust for inflation again.

BREAKING: New study finds that a minimum-wage worker in 1971 had a lifestyle affordability similar to someone making $100K today.
English
@amcking1971 @patchyhistory @SalvicMuse @sunnyright Americans are the richest large nation certainly, But the healthcare system is messed up. You have massive ammount of government money inflating the cost of healthcare that makes insurance mandatory to cover medical costs that would normally be easily affordable out of pocket.
English
@patchyhistory @SalvicMuse @nothingatalltil @sunnyright Americans are the richest people in the world and $400 is how much the average family spends at costco.
Why do brokies come talk without any sense of how much money is in America?

“The bastards charged $425 to bring my baby back from the dead” is a crazy complaint
droid mom@notdroidmom
our insurance denied all of our newborn’s claims which is something else i could rant about but we already fixed it with them. anyways i was looking at the bills from the hospital and they billed over $400 for them to resuscitating my baby at birth. that’s insane.
English
@SalvicMuse @sunnyright I dont think they send out a death squad if you default you just take a hit to your credit.
English
@sunnyright I guess you’re ok with a baby dying if parents don’t have $400

@CathalO89340211 It was done with the design for coins previously but I assume that the risk of counterfit coins was so much lower that they didn't consider there being 100 or so different coins a problem.
English
I don’t understand why it can’t operate like the coins where the design is 90% uniform and then each country that prints them gets an allotted space where they can put 5 designs that represent their country.

@kittydemon__ I think Paul Atreides being a fictional character probably lowers the meaningfulness the most.
English
This is almost entirely meaningless lol. Charlemagne died merely 1200 years ago and yet all modern Europeans can already claim 'direct descendance' from him.
Echo ↬@vikku60879
The fact that Agamemnon and Paul Atreides are distant relatives is actually insane. #TheOdyssey

@fogarty245 @DavQuinn Im confused are you suggesting there was some sort of serial mass murder ongoing in the charity home?
English
@DavQuinn Im aware they have died and have done so in large numbers. Do you have a report that shows natural causes? Because ive yet to have seen it but would happily read it

22 more bodies found at Tuam. All in coffins. That makes 99 found so far, all in coffins.

@ChristianHeiens Brown People, Seemingly infinite amounts.

What resources are the US “raping” from the world?
Go ahead and explain which ones and how much of them.
It should be quite easy for a genius like you to explain to a retard like me.
Argyll & Sutherland@DulGorm
@ChristianHeiens Lmao at you not understanding that the U.S. rapes the world of its resources. What a fuckin retarded rube.
English
@sudonym @yacineMTB Well if models with those capabilities were common place then the pathways for all those breaches would presumably be patched before they went live because your model could check it before you made it live.
English
@yacineMTB Right, but the implication that any sufficiently capable model could replicate the results still remains. That said, there’s additional limiting factors like access to sufficient hardware that can run said “sufficiently capable models” at meaningful throughput.
English
Didn't they literally get hacked by a company who has a monopoly on the model and stopped them from using that model to defend themselves, and then they needed to use an open source chinese model to defend?
Aleph@woke8yearold
Ironically HuggingFace has a unique incentive to downplay the risk posed by AI because they are the open weights guys. They can’t freak out about a world of unstoppable self-replicating cyber agents without undermining their own narrative completely

@OfSwamp56903 @WomanDefiner Just ask grok about fst distances and the definitions of sub species.
English
@WomanDefiner I was just arguing with Grok about this. Region induced physical differences could easily be the early signs of speciation, but Grok's counter argument is basically that bottleneck means we're all extremely close genetically and most subspecies began to split far longer ago.
English
If humans used the same metrics they use for every other animal there would be 3-6 different human sub species but because thats not politically correct they lie and say there is only 1.

Because somewhere between 1861 and 1945 we discovered that it would be really complicated & uncomfortable so we just decided not to have any

@UBERSOY1 The US has nearly the same % working 15-64 as European nations. They used 15-64 for the other nations and % of 16+ working for the US lowering its % by including retirees and not giving the actual labour force participation %.
English
The GDP per capita of European nations is highly inflated because so many of them are working. If you were to count only the working population, then America would be ahead of every European country in per capita GDP.
