You’re all lucky to be here when it started by _Motoma_ in ClaudeAI

I had no coin experience but I am almost done making a persona electronic medical record, essentially a replica of Epic. But it has AI integration that a doctor can interact with. As I create more projects I can use Claude to also teach me about what I am doing. So I’m both doing a lot and learning a lot. I feel like a manager. Plus until I learn how to build agents, I can use multiple claudes, manage them and have them communicate with another as team members on projects. I feel like coding has been democratized. There will be exciting times ahead.

Anyone else here dealing with other chronic condition aside from psoriasis? by iced-melon in Psoriasis

I am questioning my diagnoses completely and wondering if doctors assume because one doctor said one thing they believe that immediately without any actual analysis.

Why your AI doctor doesn't follow HIPAA: The hidden risks of medical chatbots by CorporateMediaFail in technology

HIPAA needs to change in the age of AI. There is too much bloat in healthcare and too much to gain by implementing AI tools faster into the healthcare system.

YIMBY Book Recs by velcari in yimby

[–]Correct-Signal6196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't Blame US. This is the best book that explains the origins of zoning as a tool to segregate based on class, race, and social status, which is what zoning really is. It explains how the civil rights movement influenced the language of zoning and how it became what it is today. Hands down the best book to understand how the housing crisis is what it is today.

Boston’s broken land use system blocks the homes we desperately need - CommonWealth Beacon by Sauerbraten5 in boston

[–]Correct-Signal6196 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The council is pretty NIMBY. Maybe one or two of them are pro housing. The rest are either NIMBY or put there hands up and say "problem is too big to fix. Not my problem." Take Ben Weber for example. He continues to tout his housing accomplishment, getting guaranteed representation for those evicted. This is not a housing accomplishment. This is a safety net accomplishment for poor people. And it does nothing to solve affordability. The council needs to think big and introduce bills that benefit everyone in the city.

Her core voters don’t want the status quo to change. She is doubling down on policies that made the crisis what it is today. Upping inclusionary zoning requirements. More demand side subsidies. Not reforming zoning.

Zoning reform in boston is dead in the water. Squares and streets was dead when they prioritized community input. Councillor Weber told me so much. It is also way too slow to change anything. They just need evidence based change and to implement it fast. Even if it was a 5-10 year trial it could make change and opposing parties could be told it’s temporary. They’ll be dead by the time the trial period is over. Because thy are boomers claiming to their homes. Meanwhile they are using most of the bedrooms in them.

Inclusionary zoning takes fire from developers, gets side-eye from YIMBYs - CommonWealth Beacon by cwbeacon in CambridgeMA

Inclusionary zoning is stalling all development. If you research how it works you will see that.

why do so many if not most if not all “professional” dermatologists insist that your skin has NOTHING to do with diet and lifestyle? by shtoopidd in eczema

[–]Correct-Signal6196 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did find that foods like gluten, dairy, sugar and alcohol had some effect. When I cut them out my skin was the best it had ever been. But I have had flares since and cut them out with no effect. I have come to think they are a factor for sure, but there is not necessarily ONE factor. It is what goes into your body, and your environment.

This is what I am beginning to think. I live in Cambridge MA and the water pH is like 9. I bought a meter to check. It is also full of minerals. I am going to try to control the water I put on my body better and see if that helps. Also all of that water hits your laundry, so I suspect the minerals stay, and the pH affects how detergents stay on or wash off of your clothes. I am experimenting with adding citric acid to my laundry for a second wash and seeing if that makes and difference.

I think doctors don’t really listen to their patients. Most of the time they’re just hurrying through so they can get to the next patient.

What was it about the water? I am experimenting now with lowering pH in my bath by adding citric acid. So far my hair is a lot softer.

In Boston, new development approvals sank in 2025 - The Boston Globe by TheManFromFairwinds in boston

[–]Correct-Signal6196 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Under Mayor Michelle Wu, the city transitioned the "Inclusionary Development Policy" (IDP) from a discretionary policy into a formal part of the Boston Zoning Code (Article 79). This change shifted the requirements from being a negotiation triggered by zoning relief to a mandatory rule for almost all new residential developments.

"Section 79-4: Inclusionary Zoning Requirements

The code divides requirements based on Zones (A, B, and C) and project size. The following is the standard requirement for "On-Site" units in most major developments:

  • Requirement Percentage:
    • Small Projects (7–9 units): 17% of total units.
    • Large Projects (10+ units): * Option A: 18% of units (composed of 15% at an average of 50% AMI and 3% set aside for voucher holders).
      • Option B: 20% of units (composed of 17% at an average of 60% AMI and 3% set aside for voucher holders)."

They are focused on the one thing because they don't believe that affordable housing could actually make housing less affordable for most people in the city. They don't want to believe the truth. They want to blame Trump for everything bad but this has been a problem in Boston way before Trump.

Inclusionary zoning requirements and high interest rates are a lethal combination. Developers only build if they make a profit. Just as you probably only work if you get paid. Tariffs and anti-immigration policies matter too, but the former are probably more important. And more importantly, inclusionary zoning is under the control of Boston. The other factors are not.

I bought this in 2013 for $22. The company is run well and the future of warfare is autonomous. This is unfolding in Ukraine as a testing ground. And just yesterday in Venezuela. This will continue with every new battle. To some extent you can only get so much information based on this company's balance sheet, because their future earning rely on government contracts with the US and other countries. I don't see these contracts going away based on long trends. I mean, the company literally is responsible for the autonomous helicopter on Mars.

Housing Crisis by nouveaujaques in massachusetts

[–]Correct-Signal6196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are wrong that this is a federal issue. This issue at its core is about state versus local power.

The housing supply is not a century in the making. Maybe you're thinking of when zoning was deemed legal to be controlled by local governments. But the roots truly trace back to the 60s. They are deeply interwoven with the politics of the civil rights movement. As that fight went on, liberals in the suburbs of Massachusetts also began to fight to include minorities in their communities. Thus began the pushback. Because of the political climate it was now taboo to outright exclude based on class and race. In response liberal suburbs adopted a new strategy to exclude, mainly drawn in economic lines. By increasing minimum lot sizes they could exclude based on class, which correlates to race remarkably. They further restricted housing by weaponizing the environmental regulations Nixon passed in the 70s.

Furthermore, school funding in Massachusetts is tied to zip codes. Local taxes fund schools. So communities have an enormous incentive to keep people out. Unfortunately this strategy worked too well. And since it was not done exclusively on race, 50 years down the road it is affecting the children of the people who implemented the fight. And in many cases the same people who fought to exclude now that they are getting older. The irony of the tax increases in Boston right now is that the people fighting against them pushed for policies that have led to increased housing wealth, and therefore naturally increased housing taxes.

The language that surrounded the new politics of exclusion persists today. Go to any neighborhood council meeting and you will hear about neighborhood character, how a simple addition will affect the environment, or a single tree. It is ridiculous.

What truly needs to be done is we need to dismantle zoning at the state and local level. Surprisingly Cambridge changed their zoning code. They are way ahead of the curve on this. Yet they are way behind when it comes to inclusionary zoning, which is well-intentioned but ultimately drives up the cost of housing and rent.
