  • CDC to hire former head of anti-vaccine group founded by RFK Jr.

  • The shitty part is even if people still pursue vaccines despite new obstacles, we’re definitely losing herd immunity. Seems like these measles outbreaks are just a taste of things to come. What a timeline.

  • Don't tell me what to do.

  • Their analysis also revealed that these nonclinical variations in text, which mimic how people really communicate, are more likely to change a model’s treatment recommendations for female patients, resulting in a higher percentage of women who were erroneously advised not to seek medical care, according to human doctors.

    This is not an argument for LLMs (which people are deferring to an alarming rate) but I’d call out that this seems to be a bias in humans giving medical care as well.

  • I built a script that runs on a raspberry pi with an nfc reader and speakers. It's setup with nfc cards to play music for my kids. they don't use it as much as they used to but it's still going strong after four years!

  • And management at my work is constantly pushing everyone to adopt more AI tools. Everytime I use it, I never really find it very helpful.

  • Too many non-working holidays in America

    Jump

  • I doubt he cares about holidays at all, but he very much cares about removing a holiday that is specifically relevant to not white people.

    I was taking with a family member yesterday and said I'd be shocked if Juneteenth is still a holiday next year.

  • Rich people know their cosmetic surgery is obvious and uncanny, but that's the point; it's a way of signalling that you belong in a certain income bracket and that you're part of the 1%

    Jump

  • Agreed. I'm not advocating for it, but subtle surgery with a reasonably skilled practitioner often flies under the radar if you didn't know the person. The most common things like nose jobs and face lifts are almost routine at this point.

    It's not for me, but there is a confirmation bias around plastic surgery where bad results are highly visible and good results are almost invisible.
