Could it be hardware/TPU architecture related? Isn’t it 32 instructions wide while everything else is 8. Groq (the chip maker) is IIRC 64 instructions wide, but they are optimizing for slightly different things.

In summary, the medical costs are inflated and the revenue number used to calc MLR should include more than just premiums

Tamiflu at one time cost 25-52$ with most insurers. With UHC plans 140$. Circa 10 years ago. Other insurers now copy uhc on this & other “innovations”.

Congress/WSJ/Pro publica all have stories/tales on drugs being overpriced upto 5-600x in this fashion. Big pharma is actually innocent here..

Uhc is leader in grabbing the bulk of the captive insured’s deductible

Simplistic example: your deductible is 7500$; your drug costs 1k$ annually at the pharmacy if you dont use uhc; but with uhc it is 10k, of which you pay 7.5k & uhc pays 2.5k. Uhc owned PBM rebates back 9.5k to uhc/affiliate.

If you are serious about not having a fractured town square, its trivial (esp for your man Musk) to allow Twitter posts to flow to mastodon/blue sky & vice versa.

Federated social media (where different cos communicate using a protocol) is not new or original.
