I left out the MRIs, which cost $80 in the USA and about $1200.
I left out the MRIs, which cost $80 in the USA and about $1200.
With Silver Healthcare.gov insurance, i was quoted a bill of $17,500 for medical tests and 6 months of medication.
I flew down to Colombia:
* Specialty Doctor's visit: $35 x 2 vs $50 x 2
* Blood tests: $250 vs $1,820
* Medicine: $102/month vs $1,250 x 6
* Injection pen: Free via gov subsidy vs $200
* Flight to Colombia: $650 round trip
* Airbnb for a week: $244
* US insurance: $551/month
* Cost in Colombia: 244 + 650 + (102 × 6) + 250 + 70 = $932 without travel ($1,826 total)
* Cost in USA with insurance: 200 + (1250 × 6) + 1820 + 100 + (551 × 6) = $12,926
So Colombia is 13.87 times cheaper (or a 92.79% discount).

Yes. There is already the mechanism.
System Prompt : Give the prompt here for how the AI ought to behave.
Data Prompt: Give the AI data to work on.
Attachment Prompt: Give the AI bigger data.
The AI should never use Data Prompt for instructions, but that's how they're all designed except for my AI harness.
True story: I was walking out of a Starbucks in Bogota, Colombia, in September 2025 when a big husky mix dog some 30 feet (10 meters) away locked eyes on me, charged at me, sent his owner to the floor (the leash rushing out of his hands).
The dog ran towards me and sunk its teeth around my upper thigh as I *furiously* Bashed it with my mechanical keyboard (Razer Blackwidow I'm using right now!).
No serious injury me to me, but it was a complete non-incident to everyone involved. They explained to me that dogs have civil liberties in Colombia and are only dealt with when they kill someone. If they just seriously maul someone, even a child, they are considered innocent and have to go before a literal judge...
Correct!
Even tho LLMs don't have any seeming hardcoded constraints like Asimov's Three Laws, this deletion thing actually probably wouldn't violate the Three Laws in any case...
Thus, even in more sane jurisdictions in the multiverse, this project maintainer would be culpable and liable for all damages done.
Show more respect to your slashdot elder.
But you, sir, are probably a 10X dev like me. Ask yourself how many programmers in Bangalore could keep up with you even 50%?
The AI estimates are probably good. You are probably a Pareto Principle Person and operate in Flow state and faster and better far outside the norm.
Consider that next time and don't undersell yourself!
I have 29 years of programming experience and some 27 here on Slashdot.
I made my own AI coding harness in 2025 and no joke, by March 2026, I am *routinely* day-in, day-out, producing about as much high quality code in a day as I was in 2 weeks before Gen AI.
It's literally about a day an hour for me... so in 10-11 hours of work in a day (I run my own shop), I'm doing about 2 weeks worth of code. I'm shipping projects to production and retail in 1 month that traditionaly would take 6 to 18 months of teams of 3...
Why do they not just migrate to another ISP???
Yes! it does mean that! All 6-digit and lower, anyway.
I guess I wouldn't have had a solid 10+ years of experience with Linux, either. I started with Caldera Linux 1.2... way long ago. And BeOS, too, way before I was 18...
Woah, no sarcasm, I had no idea.
I use brave as my daily driver for months and months and months now. Ever since Manifest v2 went away.
They haven't attacked Yemen, Egypt or Pakistan or India yet.
Sounds like that justification will start happening in less than 2 weeks, huh?
