You're forgetting that when you're sick and hurt yourself in the US you very likely still have to go to work. Doing some quick research, roughly 25% of the US workers don't have any sick time whatsoever, so you gotta take some painkillers and get back to work. If you need to take time off to go to the doctor, you're no longer getting paid, so...a lot of people don't do that and instead hide the pain with painkillers.

I had my gallbladder out on a Wednesday and went back to work on the Monday. Nothing stronger than acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Laparoscopy is amazing.

It was a desk job and my team was great. I didn't even think twice.

Reckon you've just summed up the US health care system to a tee.

Harder, faster, stronger, smarter

> As of right now that's basically Mythos. If the rumors are true, it's a 10 trillion parameter model which is QUITE a bit larger than other models. If so, I'd suspect the main reason it has a super limited roll out is that they can't afford to run it at scale yet.

> the AWS things you mentioned you don’t need to mess with at all

not the op, but I suspect they were meaning it's a huge pain migrating to a different cloud provider when all those features mentioned are in use. not that managing them is a mess in AWS.

Correct.

I suspect they were mostly referring to it being uninhabitable due to the extreme heat and duration of 100ºF+ days.

A dry 100F is fine weather. I’ll take that over a midwestern winter any day.

100F days are fine, cakewalks, even, especially with misters + shade. We had 70+ days of 110°F two years ago, and over 20 days 115°F+. They are not the same. Those days are unbearable nightmare fuel, and worse, they turn into insanely miserable nights where the low temperature rarely dips below 95°. It is absolutely awful, dry or not.

"It seems like a more polite way of handling this in private spaces is just to ask that people take them off - just like we do when a pig farmer walks into our house with their boots on."

Just FYI, they do heavily market this towards RX glasses wearers. So, you wouldn't quite be able to just as simply ask someone to take off their glasses and no longer be able to see.

I'm going to guess that someone who can afford smart glasses can afford to have another pair of unsmart glasses. What is it about the _glasses_ that people find creepier than a smartphone that can literally do even more invasive things than the current glasses technology?

It's very obvious when someone is recording you with a smartphone
