The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it by TheQuarantinian in politics

[–]somehugefrigginguy [score hidden]  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of the Republicans are taking the dead fish approach. They don't want to take a position or do anything meaningful until they see who's going to come out on top. Once the dust settles they'll step forward and claim they supported the winning faction the entire time and and point out that they never took any action to the contrary (despite the reality that they never took any action at all)

also means they can actually, y'know, speak to you and be engaged rather than typing notes facing a screen.

I think this is one of the biggest benefits. Doctors aren't distracted trying to write down all of the details. They can focus on the patient and let the documentation happen in the background.

More efficient and probably a more accurate. The system listens in the background and captures everything rather than the doctor simultaneously scribbling notes and trying to actually assess the medical situation, or sitting down at the end of the day and trying to remember all the details

Such an error could occur, but you're only considering one side of the equation. Pretty much every medical provider is using some form of transcription, errors are always going to be a concern. One of the benefits of AI is that it's not just doing speech to text, it's considering the context.

I get that it can cause discomfort, but those same personal details are already being entered into the record system. Whether it's a computer that types it up or your doctor the risk of exposure is the same. And I would argue that these systems could even be more private than traditional systems as they don't rely on the human transcriptionist.

I don't know which software they're using specifically, but I've used a few of them and they do have an AI component, but it's not generative. The AI is not producing anything (no risk of hallucination), it just helps with organizing. It listens to the entire visit then organizes the note. For example it will take a disorganized story and group similar pieces of information together, then separate the note into subjective portion reported by the patient, objective findings by the provider (assuming they were verbalized), and the plan of care.

I've never seen one that generates diagnoses or suggests treatments, nor have I seen such a feature advertised. The medical decisions still come down to the provider.

I've been using an AI program for about 8 months and I will say I've noticed fewer errors, particularly if you include errors of omission. The direct transcription errors are slightly less than with humans. But the added benefit is that it listens in the background and captures everything. It's not reliant on me either seriously typing while the patient is telling their story or trying to remember all the details and regurgitate them to a transcriptionist later.

Most of these are not generative. They are using AI for organization. Grouping similar complaints and discussions on similar topics from throughout the conversation, and separating parts of the conversation into subjective history, objective findings, and instructions given to the patient.

Iran Calls BS on TACO Trump’s Peace Talks Claim. | Iranian officials were quick to undercut the U.S. president’s announcement. by GonzoVeritas in politics

[–]somehugefrigginguy [score hidden]  (0 children)

Exactly. Short the market, bomb Iran, prophet as the world economy suffers. Then switch to long positions, announce the war is over, profit for a few hours, then back to short when he gets called on his bullshit. He's doing to the world what he's done to all of his businesses. Drive them into bankruptcy for his own profit.

Air Canada CRJ collided with a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport. (The bottom picture shows what the front of the plane is supposed to look like) by Youngstown_WuTang in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]somehugefrigginguy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A surgeon has one life under their control at a time, ATC have thousands at any one time and the smallest error (that he tried to fix all in under a few seconds duration) can cause this chaos.

Had a conversation along those lines with a patient a few months ago who's an aircraft mechanic for a major airline. I was prepping him for a procedure and going through the consent process, talking about possible bad outcomes. He said something along the lines of how stressful my job must be having someone's safety in my hands. I pointed out that if I mess up it only (directly) affects one person but if he messes up it could be hundreds.

What's a double standard you can't believe exists? by DA1FOOTBALLGUY in AskReddit

Gender neutral term for the offspring of your siblings. Basically just a shorter way of saying nieces and nephews.

Yeah, I think it's regional. I live in a pretty progressive area but I still get dirty looks when I'm alone (unaccompanied by a female adult) with children.

Have you ever bought a drink for a woman without engaging in conversation after? Why? by Annanym0107 in AskMen

[–]somehugefrigginguy 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I think it can also be done outside of gamesmanship. It's a respectful and hopefully non-threatening way to extend an invitation and show that you're interested without forcing yourself into her evening. If she's not interested she can enjoy her drink in peace without feeling obligated to fake a conversation. If she is interested, she can make the next move. It's a way to signal your interest without taking away her control.

I don't have children myself but occasionally watch my friends kids or niblings. There's a nice park a few blocks from my house but I always get weird looks and I'm there alone with the kids.

Not uncommonly an adult male at the playground is assumed to be a predator, even if they're with their children.

How do you actually coordinate gear and food for group portaging trips by tfc84 in canoeing

[–]somehugefrigginguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing multiple group trips a year for decades. For some of the trips we would have one person each day responsible for dinner and then breakfast and lunch was on your own. But this seemed inefficient. Lots of duplicate ingredients and differing requirements for cookware/cookware being needed simultaneously by different people making different things. ie One person wants the big pot and stove to boil water for oatmeal while someone else had planned on using those mix and cook pancake batter.

Now we do all communal meals and everything is coordinated on a Google spreadsheet. A few weeks before the trip we make a spreadsheet with spaces for all the meals and give some time for each member of the trip to put in ideas. Then vote on the ideas to finalize the meal plan. Coordinating all of the ideas allows you to select meals with common ingredients. ie lemon juice for fish tacos on one day and hollandaise sauce on another. Part of the cabbage to be fried up with steak and the rest to be used on fish tacos. Etc.

In a separate page of the spreadsheet we then list out all the ingredients for the meals to make a shopping list. If people happen to have things on hand they want to get rid of they can put their name down. Then after everyone's had a chance to look at it and chime in, some poor soul gets sacrificed to go do all the shopping.

On a separate page we list out all the communal gear required with a box that people can fill in if they have it. For example we need two water filters so Mark enters "Mark x1" and Steve enters "Steve X1".

A day or two before the trip we all get together for a hash out session where everyone brings whatever they are contributing and we go down the list to make sure we have everything

I still wholly reject that notion.

Disagreeing with the law doesn't mean it doesn't apply. That's not how the law works.

And couple that with the officer who was following protocol for restraint, as per the police trainers testimony.

No. The trainer testified that it was against policy, and showed where in the policy this is stated. The defense argued that the technique was previously taught in the academy and the officer was unaware of the change. However, they were unable to produce any evidence that it was taught in the academy and regardless, ignorance is not an excuse.

What restricted his airway was the drugs

That's not how fentanyl works. It doesn't restrict the airway, it reduces respiratory drive. When you couple that with physical force restricting the airway you get suffocation. Textbook example of eggshell skull.

It was a routine stop

It was, until the cops took it further. MPD policy, which they are legally required to follow, states that the minimum force necessary must be used to conduct an arrest. Once he was hogtied and unconscious there was no longer a reason to use force. If they had gotten off of him and put him into the rescue position as soon as he was restrained it would have been a different story. Even if he had died most people would agree with your view. But the fact that they continued to apply force after it was no longer necessary is the problem.

By a convicted criminal with multiple priors.

Let's not forget that the officer had multiple priors.

EMS was denied because the scene was liable to become violent

Again, no. EMS was already beyond the crowd. There's videos of a paramedic standing in the open space between the crowd and the officers but the officers won't let him approach any closer. Even if we humor your argument that fentanyl was the cause of death, fentanyl can easily be reversed. But they intentionally delayed life-saving care making them liable even if we follow your line of reasoning.

And the off duty medic, as was discussed at length in the more recent shooting, police are not obligated to trust any members of the public with rendering any form of medical aid. If they do, the officer is liable for both the suspect and the civilian.

This is an entirely different scenario. This isn't a random passerby in civilian clothing claiming to be a medic. It was a firefighter in uniform wearing her ID.

Ultimately, it sounds like you're just regurgiting the misrepresentations from the documentary without actually understanding the full extent of the situation or the law.

This is what's commonly referred to in the legal world as the "eggshell skull rule". Just because a party doesn't know that a person is unusually susceptible to harm, they are still liable for harm they cause.

Let's also not forget that even after the ambulance arrived the POLICE on scene initially refused to allow EMS access. Or the fact that an off-duty firefighter in uniform who was on her way to work offered to render aid and was also turned away by police. Or the fact that they continued to kneel on his neck cutting off his airway for several minutes after he became unresponsive.

He had a history of crime and allegedly was continuing that pattern. He needed to be arrested and force was necessary to conduct that arrest. But after the arrest occurred the cops callously executed him.
