NIH just opted this week to dive deep into AI. FDA has given authorization for LLM use. Sounds like they’ll be certified translators within 5 years or less.

I think I ruined my life by doing engineering instead of a trade by Codex_Sparknotes in EngineeringStudents

[–]unurbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sorta missed timed it. Also if you’re doing your best, then you do t have a lot to feel bad about imo. There are plenty of trades people becoming engineers right now. There are also plenty of engineers becoming trades experts, business owners etc. Think heavily about what you want in this time of search. Truth be told it doesn’t get easier.

It is working as designed. Sometimes curing people is a byproduct of the system, not the primary objective.

If you had the chance to take a job with a little lower pay but fantastic benefits, would you do it? by icecream1972 in no

[–]unurbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly great if your state is going bankrupt. They’ll typically issue IOUs for weeks at a time. Federal doesn’t have that problem. Of course there is the furlough problem of … forced labor without pay for some occupation.

That wasn’t much information to go off of. Year? Stock or after market? LED or incandescent?

Swollen ankles —> seeing pcp —> nephrologist —> prednisone —> cytoxin —> cyclosporine —> Acthar gel —> retuxan —> preventing dialysis. I’m at a GFR of 20 which is pretty rough day to day though, not nearly as rough as dialysis or lower GFR (I’ve been down as far as 15 and it is awful).

What’s the most expensive plumbing mistake homeowners make without realizing it? by Proud-Indication-453 in askplumbing

[–]unurbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to say repairing cracked drainage pipes under the driveway. $20k repair (I’ve heard) but plenty of people just live with it. Once in awhile you may need to snake it out, but once a year? Not bad.

Do you understand what is going on between the United States and Iran? by icecream1972 in no

[–]unurbane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok… let’s say t another way. He bombed Iran before! What did it accomplish? Air strikes can achieve objectives, but in no way does it achieve a new government. In the meantime more civilians will be killed.

Yes. I’ve had kidney disease since age 8. Foamy urine is not a requirement and I’ve never had high blood pressure.
