Also mind you when that “risk” comes knocking it results in mass layoffs. So who really took on that risk? The csuites or the wage workers?

I think once you understand how to apply analytic continuation to the problem its relation to primes is much more apparent; even without a full understanding of the history.

Stop speciously muddying the waters by either intentionally or accidentally making spurious arguments for these unethical sociopaths.

I’ve seen this argument made on this website a lot, and it always conveniently omits the vertical integration of these insurers wherein they are the providers too.

The DOJ is literally, actively, suing to block a merger between united healthcare and a provider.

Yes, and yes.

Investigating primes is nearly as old as mathematics itself and its reasonable to assume other ideas where discovered in the hopes of applying them to various problems incorporating prime numbers.

From a practical, applied, perspective, “understanding” primes, that is making their “hidden” structure a known “truth”, would either confirm or deny the Riemann hypothesis wherein many other conjectures that assume the hypothesis to be true would also be “truely” known.

I think “loses” lends itself to clickbait.

It’s either 0 or massful.

“Loses”, to my eye, implied a continuous ability to remove mass, and led me to wonder if one could achieve negative masses with the experiment’s technique.

But I’ll save you the click: in one direction it’s massless (traveling at the speed of light), and in the other direction it has mass.

The grift that keeps on grifting.

The ad buys on network tv are proof enough.

They are embarrassing, and often offensive: are you lazy? Terrible at your job? Hate your family? Use our AI assistant to replace your humanity!

If they had a real product with a real use case then they would be selling that instead of this weird stuff.

I know this bubble will retort: but muh productivity!

But please keep in mind that programmers are a minority of a minority and these companies are uninterested in merely giving you specifically a better coding assistant than web search and forums.

Eek! She’s a true heroine for taking one for the team, and saving the rest of us from this fate.
