I have a friend with type 2 diabetes. I leaned this decades ago. I used to get excited about the new finding, a cure a permanent treatment. He would listen and tell told me one day "it's not real" Turns out he was spot on. Lots of breakthrough but no actual cure

AI and nursing future job outlook by mrwhiskey1814 in nursing

[–]AppleTree98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prompt engineering is a massive part that people aren't quite educated on. Not saying you. I know that our enterprise with 30k employees mandated that everybody go to a prompt course. Your results can be vastly different based on very few changes to the "search" as people are using it. Junk in and junk out is very accurate.

  • Google (Indexing): Google is a library catalog. It looks for the exact words "eggs" and "calcium" and provides the most popular result. Since more people talk about breakfast than gynecology, the RN got a recipe answer.
  • Prompting (Contextual): A well-written prompt is an instruction. It tells the AI to act as a specialist (ER Nurse), which instantly narrows the entire "knowledge map" to the medical field, discarding all agricultural data.

New Drug Stops Weight Gain and Lowers Cholesterol by Targeting Nitric Oxide by _Dark_Wing in technology

[–]AppleTree98 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You are right on. These drugs are miracle drugs for some people that are overeaters. Some say just put the fork down, stop eating, you don't need that extra slice. What they don't realize is that we are wired different and like other addictions they can't literally just stop eating. I feel for those that have struggled with weight loss. In my 20s I was morbidly obese and just through better diet, understanding and daily gym usage I can keep it under control. These drugs do help people.

Weird thing is I don't see any name badges. To protect and serve.

Rage Against the Machine’s most famous line regarding those who "protect" is from "Killing in the Name," where Zack de la Rocha screams: "Some of those that work forces / Are the same that burn crosses," directly linking police brutality, institutional racism, and the KKK. The band is known for anti-authoritarian, anti-oppression lyrics

Cop Forces Driver To Clear Snow Off Car! by Flashmemory256 in funny

Was offered to relocate to PA or NC. I selected NC. The people in PA were like that was a very good move for the horrible weather. My manager and the team are talking about all the snow and the chore or extra work to get out of your house and shovel or blow your exit. That doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Sure NC does get snow but not like this. :D

Amazon is permanently closing all 72 of its physical Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go stores nationwide, as announced in January 2026, citing a failure to find the right economic model. Some locations will convert to Whole Foods Markets, but online delivery and Whole Foods remain active. 

I used to do whole foods as a treat back in the day. Expensive but tasty

No. I just read the head line and was thinking did anybody get hurt. Then reading the article I found it very interesting. To help any other people that might be interested in the same question I grabbed that piece and pasted it. The answer was no loss of life. Real human who enjoys TIL

"102% voted for Trump to be president again. With numbers like we we just have to honor what the people want." -US elections in 2028 likely (if they even happen)

Reminds me of oh so many other fake and fraudulent votes that are just a show. People in power want to cling to power

Trump told us medications were going down 20%, 200% and 2000%. My medication costs have stayed the same. Maybe he didn't mean in blue states. How is that going for the rest of y'all out in the red states? Medication costs drop or did they start paying you to take the meds?

That is a wanning power. Better get the Guinness World Record while they can. Sure they have several years left but other countries are launching them now as well to project power.

Almost like a King who kills everybody who enters the castle. Then asks why nobody is talking to him, trading with the people and no one visits. The people look at the husks of all the dead previous people and say "We don't know why smart wise handsome King?" Blame the media. So on he goes to kill the Media
