It’d be cheaper, sure. But that assumes anyone actually wants to run things locally. My VP is an elderly woman who would love to get off the Board as well. We just don’t have volunteers to run things. I joined up so our HOA didn’t get handed to a lawyer to run, which would cost even more.

Prior to having a management company, the HOA treasurer embezzled about $40,000. It’s the reason they got the management company in the first place.

Getting out of it is the hardest part for us right now.

We’re in a small 28 unit condominium, so our dues go towards insurance for all buildings (only exterior, have to have our own for studs in), water, lawn service, management company, etc. Our dues are almost $400/month.

Yes, per month. It absolutely blows, especially when we’re trying to sell our unit and it’s been on the market for almost half a year.

I’m the HOA president so I know what all our expenses are (and have fought to keep increases to a minimum, including negotiating the community water bill with the water company), and unless we kick out the management company (Not going to happen) the dues are just going to stay high. We’re preparing to refuse an increase for the next year.

My guess is that it may not be factoring traffic conditions for bicycle directions

It’s a reference to the mold growing in her house

I’m in healthcare, and it would be such a huge HIPAA risk if this was rolled out to our users. I’m interested to see what the company will do with this new information. We’re Enterprise edition so I’d assume they have ultimate control over it being on our computers.

They already do when you leave a mess or destroy property. That’s not unusual and acts as a deterrent

Good ol’ AI generated text

My mistake. Misread the comment while at work

I love my 3 monitor setup 🥲

Fun fact! Glue is put into the cheese on pizza slices for promotional purposes. It’s what gets them that nice stringing stretching cheese on video.

Got any peer reviewed scientific evidence for your positions?

It’s a pretty great tool. Downloaded the entirety of Murder Drones on Saturday to add to my Plex server. Strictly for preservation, going to re-watch on YouTube to support them

I’d love to be on a GLP-1 (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc). I’ve had Wegovy prescribed, but my plan excludes it and the others unless you have diabetes.

It’s definitely one of the current “trendy” prescriptions in the USA right now, which I hate since a lot of people are using them as “get thin quick” hacks that will fix their life. Being a 300lb guy without diabetes where general diet and exercise aren’t dropping the pounds, my prescriber said I’d be a perfect candidate for it.

Is this in regards to a specific recent event or article? Or just purely hypothetical?

In practice, an AI that’s trained on drug-drug interactions, duplicate therapies, and common dosings would be beneficial. We already have specialized models that are helping scientists discover groundbreaking technologies, such as recent advancements in discovering cancers years before we are used to with more traditional methods.

Let’s look at your hypothetical. Prescriber sends in an order to their in-house pharmacy for amoxicillin and the patient has a recorded penicillin allergy. Under ideal circumstances, the pharmacist would review the patients chart, note the potential for a reaction (While they are different antibiotics, there is still potential for a reaction due to the drugs being related), and contact the prescriber to verify therapy and discuss if a change to another antibiotic is in order. (This is all ignoring the fact that for an ear infection you’d likely get an otic ear drop, not an oral suspension. Something like Neo-Poly-Dex or ofloxacin).

Unfortunately the pharmacy hellscape we’re in today leads to rushed verifications, where therapies aren’t being checked too closely and many things get missed. Pharmacies already have systems in place to warn techs and pharmacists of any interactions with recorded allergies, but if you’re traveling or need to go to a new pharmacy or doctor, things get missed.

An AI that is trained on these specific things would help alleviate some of the pressure of the already overworked pharmacy staff, while giving consise and consistent information. If a pharmacist misses an allergy or interaction, the AI could send a warning to them and the prescriber.

Note that I’m referring to job specific AI, that are trained for specific purposes. A general LLM, which it sounds like you’re referring to, would not be able to work in these environments.

Source: I audit pharmacy claims, with training in retail, LTC, and PBM pharmacy settings. It’s literally my job to catch the errors (both billing and clinical) that pharmacies make.

To preface, I am not defending the police or the piece of shit abuser. This was handled extraordinarily horrendously. Police even knew about the guy’s crimes and let him off without a slap on the wrist.

The basis of my thoughts comes from this paragraph in the article:

Police said that Kizer travelled from Milwaukee to Volar’s home in Kenosha in June 2018 armed with a gun. She shot him twice in the head, set his house on fire and took his car.

I don’t know any info beyond what the article gives, but it sounds like at that point she wasn’t being held captive and murdered to get away from her abuser. She actively plotted and had the freedom to travel and kill him. Unless there’s something I’m missing, I don’t think I could consider this as actively being self defense.

It depends on your client. In Sync, you need to click into the post then the image to get full resolution. Clicking the image from the front page just blows up the thumbnail

Same, been using it long before it was bought by Microsoft. It has customizations I like, and (when it works properly) I can copy and paste between my phone and computer.

With Sunlu’s new filament joiner coming out, I might give this a try by splicing segments of different browns together into a big roll. It’s a very near concept, and your print looks amazing!

It’s hard to be non-biased. There’s not a single person who does not have a bias of some sort. The way people get bent out of shape over the bot makes me sad. It gives a decent starting point for anyone looking to start learning about the different biases and how different outlets report information. Of course it’s not a perfect bot or website it’s getting the info from, but it’s a valuable tool.

I did block it myself though. Sync gives large previews of links, so it did get a bit spammy. This could be disabled in the app’s settings, but it’s a feature I like so I can easily get to linked articles or videos. Wish I could turn it off for bots

Eeh, I see it as a gray area. Majority of millenials, myself included, grew up learning about novel technologies as they developed. We learned how to use desktop computers and browse the internet during a ‘golden age’ of innovation. They became part of our everyday lives and are second nature to us. The next generations don’t fully have that experience but are expected to natively know their way around a computer since they’re so ubiquitous in our lives. In reality, they know how to use smart phones and chromebooks but aren’t getting the experience of working on a real desktop computer.

Regarding teaching kids the basics, I’d put it on the schools, not the parents. Do schools still have computer labs? That’d be where proper computer skills should be taught. If parents can help at home that’s great, but I don’t think it should be expected that every kid is going to have a real computer at home to learn on (versus phones, tablets, chromebooks, etc).
