Freezing cold

Are you trying to advance the claim that no medical practitioner outside the US ever generates an invoice, even to send to their own government-funded coverage?

How do you expect doctors to get paid, then? Do you work for free?

I don’t understand what you mean. Do you expect doctors to work for free?

We are starting to see impacts. At least in my field (medicine,) AI scribes are allowing for the replacement of human scribes, decreasing physician workload, increasing documentation detail, and is allowing physicians to capture more of what they did in their billing.

Up until recently, I always scoffed at presidents running on “the economy” due to the classical wisdom that presidential policies are a small drop in the bucket in the overall economic picture and that the influence they do have typically isn’t felt until after they’ve left office.

Trump proved me wrong on this one. He’s speedrunning a recession.

Not everything you see in a paper is automatically science, and not every person involved is a scientist.

That picture is a diagram, not science. It was made by a writer, specifically a columnist for Medium.com, not a scientist. It was cited by a professor who, by looking at his bio, was probably not a scientist. You would know this if you followed the citation trail of the article you posted.

You’re citing an image from a pop culture blog and are calling it science, which suggests you don’t actually know what you’re posting, you just found some diagram that you thought looked good despite some pretty glaring flaws and are repeatedly posting it as if it’s gospel.

What is this nonsense Euler diagram? Emotion can intersect with consciousness, but emotion is also a subset of consciousness but emotion also never contains emotion? Intelligence does overlap at all with sentience, sapience, or emotion? Intelligence isn’t related at all to thought, knowledge, or judgement?

Did AI generate this?

1. Leveraged synergy
2. Integrated corporate infrastructure
3. Networked
4. Circled back to all previous pings to close the loop
5. Synergized networks

Out of the Bluesky shows, Royal Pains actually had the most satisfactory ending (along with Burn Notice.)

Smallvile. How the hell did it get 10 seasons?

Normally I’d accuse you of doomsday speculation, but he already proposed this:

Yep, back in the 90s they were in some places. My local supermarket had one like this, except without the annoying ad on the left side.

That wasn’t so much a “fact” told in school as it was a prediction, and it was true for them. Some people carried pocket calculators, but most people didn’t. Some supermarkets has calculators built into their carts, but most didn’t.

Failing to predict society’s norms in 20 years isn’t the same as teaching a false fact.

Same. I’m playing GTA San Andreas on mobile (through Netflix if you interested) and while the game holds up, all the minigames suck ass. I’m likely not going to complete a single one. Maybe I’ll cave and do burglaries for infinite sprint, but probably not.

I’m on 12, and will be upgrading to 13 when Trixie hits stable.

Exactly my impression. And my response? Fuck that shit.

While at one point GTA was my favorite series and I was absolutely hyped for GTA V, I’m not for this one. I kind of feel like I’m getting a little old for GTA.

Maybe I’ll change my mind after it releases and there’s a good chance I’ll play it anyway, but right now… meh.

Really only Once Upon a Time in Hollywood comes to mind, but it’s not Scarface level popular.

I just don’t understand why Trump supporters believe Trump. It was clear that his campaign was influenced by Project 2025, and he had several of its authors at his inner circle. But he claimed he didn’t know anything about it and for some reason his supporters believed him.

And now he’s doing exactly what was promised. None of this should be a surprised. The document was openly published by a think tank, his campaign embraced it, and yet his supporters thought it wasn’t going to happen.
