You hit the nail on the head, it’s just the biggest sites

No, we got a massive hand out to insurance companies in exchange for letting everyone get insurance (if they can afford it)

Things like standards of care have killed private practice and have made it so where the required paperwork is a larger part of a doctor’s job than medicine. It helped the consolidation of health systems, which has made the problems far bigger

Let’s not forget, this concept was an older plan by the heritage foundation (who have released countless hits like project 2025) to avoid universal healthcare. The Democrats then negotiated it to be worse from there

They probably just ask for your name and link it to the info they already have about you

If you fill a prescription or use a credit card, that’s a very solid link to your identity. The app also probably is collecting all the data it can on you to resell, most of which can be used to fingerprint you through a data broker

They might also require an ID, but all of it is probably more an intimation tactic and stunt for investors than anything else

No way I’d install their app though

You’ve got it reversed - click bait slop were the egg that hatched the first chicken

He thumped his chest and did it emphatically. Then he turned around and did it again. The only way it could’ve been more nazilike is if he stomped while he did it

We call both localization, because what you’re doing is branching out controls, formats, and such to a locale, which is not necessarily a location or a region. You could have en-us, en-ca, en-us, en-uk, en-au, en-sp, or you just have en to translate it to English and call it a day

How about legal bribery lobbying

Um… I think Gaza is already that

That’s actually brilliant

Some niggling part of my brain keeps wondering if ivermectin is actually a crazy cure for cancer, could anyone break down the science for me? I have a decent understanding of molecular biology, but no idea about what ivermectin is chemically or how it would play in

Honestly, you’re probably better off without tiktok. Short form video is bad for humans, and it’s much worse if it’s not educational

I’m genuinely sorry for the potential friends you’ve lost, but tiktok was not a good thing… An American controlled version wouldn’t be better, I hope you double down on the fediverse

Because you can’t just use up the easy to remember names like that. We’ve had bird flu, SARS, MERS, swine flu, COVID… We might need cow flu to name a different coronavirus in a few years

Sure it does, tool use is huge for actually using this tech to be useful for humans. Which openai and Google seem to have little interest in

Most of the core latest generation models have been focused on this, you can tell them what they have access to and how to use it, the one I have running at home (running on my too old for windows 11 mid-range gaming computer) can search the Web, ingest data into a vector database, and I’m working on a multi-turn system so they can handle more complex tasks with a mix of code and layers of llm evaluation. There’s projects out there that give them control of a system or build entire apps on the spot

You can give them direct access to the terminal if you want to… It’s very easy, but they’re probably just going to trash the system without detailed external guidance

I’ll never forget what it was like to share an officie with 2 other people with adhd. I’d start talking about one topic, jump three topics over because they’re obviously related, and they’d just follow along without needing me to hold their hand. It was amazing

That’s why everyone who cares needs to spread the word.

People don’t need to care. They might share it as a fun factoid, they might just say that’s crazy and never think about it again

Until they’re in a position to get a reward… They’ll care then. That little idea they heard in passing will pop up… Maybe it gives them pause.

$10k is pretty tempting for a lot of people…a chance at a $10k reward they’ve heard rarely is paid out is a lot less tempting

Maybe they Google it first, maybe they think twice about if the crime is worth reporting. Maybe they see the world in black and white and believe it to be their duty

It’s worth spreading some information, even to people that don’t care
