Exterior has frequently been Pininfarina w/ a distinct design language...changing it up wholesale would necessarily result in something quite different

A lack of a hot tub sex scene never stopped an enterprising Hollywood writer's room from adding a hot tub sex scene

eh how are they going to make the usual small practice do "penetration testing"?

It's definitely giving spam numbers as "official support lines" of companies like JetBlue and Delta. I think the spammers flood review sites w/ those numbers and the bot scrapes the reviews.

Author spent a ton of time writing this up "for fun"...but glad people are still doing this and old school blogs. The effort required seems substantial...

Not sure about the AI style transfer images... sure it's a valid way to get the illustrations you want but I don't have to like it...

What are the chances there will be another Mac Pro in the future?

Will Apple ever make a computer that makes Siracusa happy? (and do you have the "Believe" shirt?)

Oh no, there's both. At least for consultations, there's only 3 inpatient / 5 outpatient levels of CPT codes which work for both complexity and/or time. And patients tend to be pretty complex, so it'd not hard to justify a level 4 or 5 CPT code; any less than that and the patient usually has absolutely nothing wrong with them. And at best, max complexity, Medicare pays, something like $227 per CPT code. So to keep the lights on, you'd better figure out a way to see 14, 16, 20 patients a day...a practice cannot stay afloat if you take 45 mins to an hour to see a level 5 CPT code.

For hospital stays, I may be outdated in this, but Medicare pays a lump sum DRG which doesn't tend to go up much, so the longer the patient is in the hospital, the less money the hospital makes.

Short story is the biggest pressures from the higher-ups is for us to see more volume outpatient, and cut duration of stays inpatient....

I would maybe modify this to say - there is a strong incentive to be efficient - you only make so much money per encounter, DRG visit to the hospital, etc. So the pressure from "management" on a lot of us clinicians is to see more people per day, make each hospital visit as short as possible, etc. Medicaid providers now see something like 50-60 patients a day because the per-patient visit is relatively low. But there isn't as much incentive for outcomes. I think CMS has tried it in the past, but with varying success. Whether this new mousetrap will work, who knows.

it also looks really nice. at the Apple Store, the chassis seems well machined. the "cheaper" apple logo insert also clearly also incurred some expense as it fit into the lid perfectly. Hinge, keyboard and trackpad felt good. Design team clearly took time to telegraph craft and quality in their product.

If you purpose build a Linux gaming PC, would you lean more towards AMD GPUs over Nvidia?

which is poorly differentiated cells undergoing unchecked neurogenesis...

Of note, cautionary tale is too much neurogenesis is brain cancer...

It really depends on how much the company wants to invest. If it really worked, then it would be relatively straightforward for them to put together a Phase II. Not cheap, but relatively straightforward. Or at least it would have been when we had a functioning FDA

Also, the other definition in question is what the UCLA PR person means by "repairing brain damage". As far as I can tell from the paper - the "drug" part was using some neurotransmitter blockers on brain cells on a Petri dish to see if they could change gene expression or oscillatory firing patterns matching recordings in mice undergoing "physical therapy". They did not actually test to see if the stuff grew new brain cells or dendritic connections.

I mean, it’s prob easier to run chromeos in utm on the Mac…

How many people here is he really "accessible" to? I highly doubt you and I are able to cold call him as easily as some people think they can...

"accessibility" with lousy judgement also may not be the greatest combo...

wasn't there a post by someone that looked into the Mythos demo and felt that it was terrible at doing what people claimed it could do?

Granted, given that most cybersecurity news over the past decade has been grim, both could be true...

They could justify it as a capacity investment, like buying all the tooling for their aluminum laptop bodies.

Nowadays I wonder if it's best practice to run everything in a desktop VM and not on your actual computer...

at first I thought Sierra games was making a comeback...

maybe the culture should be for them to contract with popular app makers to be "The" default app for x amount of years or such, vs sherlocking.

you know it's bad when even ol' Rupert is worried

just to clarify it's not PyTorch, it's the library for this Lightning AI company?

I was going to post about whether there were still "laws" in the US, but this post gets the point across much better

how healthy is the open source community around openEMR? I feel like by nature, it is decidedly more unsexy and less attractive for volunteers to work on. I work in healthcare, and PTSD from various EMRS have run so deep that working on an actual EMR is the most unappealing thing I can think of to tinker around with code....

for an app called headspace, it really is messing with your headspace!

the model is wrong, but the amyloid is still sitting there, staring at you, asking you what are you going to do about it?

for some reason this read like the "Headless Body in a Topless Bar" headline...maybe the antiquities equivalent

I remember those ads...

Here, the infamous one are these James Wang, Esq ads on the placemats for Chinese restaurants in the area. I suspect he placed the ad 20 years ago but they never bothered to change the design...

the biggest problem with SFO is all the delayed flights from weather/wind or some other logistical hassle. Usually I try to fly into SJC instead

I think the laws are written assuming everyone is rational but it's pretty clear from neuroscience than dopaminergic/VTA pathway abnormalities addictions make one anything but rational; and they haven't been updated to reflect the science.
