Private medical insurance is corrupt as starting point. A public health insurance/payer system can still be subject to ineligible or fraudulent claims. Every medical provider demand for money automatically accepted is not the perfect model either. Systems, AI or not, should avoid improper denials is a standard only possible in public health systems.

So bribe the private sector to deny all claims routed through them first

The AI models getting paid most the most they deny is private sector grift built in here.

This is definitely the wrong “motive structure” for administrative decisions from agency supposed to provide healthcare. Proof of grift as a goal.

By all means, use AI assistance to determine claims validity. But the AI service should be paid per query, or to licence whole model for unlimited use with medicare paying for the computers/gpus. Medicare should be choosing a model that is accurate instead of one that is paid to deny everything, because Homer Simpson’s birdy automation can do that ultra cheap.

how much wobble does the earth add to sun? over 1m?

dislike, but not downvoted. Hope I don’t see this again.

trend was before any new abortion bans. You probably cannot consider men avoiding women, but that is likely a larger overall factor.

You are golden.

It’s quite the songwriting feat. (Joni Mitchel, but CSNY great interpretation with gospel Organ part)

“And we got to get ourselves, back to the garden”

unifies gospel of bible and humanism. The 60s, being a period of extreme oppression of US men with draft for US empire domino absurdities, had many “principled songs”. This is the best one, not just specifically anti-war. Woodstock as a “principled humanist” gathering gained significance from this song.

This is an android 16 feature, scheduled for sept 2026 “prerelease” and 2027 rollout. I expect/hope some phones will have a setting to disable “the security”. If not, there is great opportunty for high end hardware linux first phones, with good android emulation software.

a18pro beats M3 max in single core. Compared to 7840hs, it has 40% high single score geekbench 6, though 50% less multicore. Even beats ai395max at single score. Android competition catches up to even in gaming/gpu, but single core/responsiveness is still light years ahead. a19 next month, likely. M3 ultra has competitive aspects to xeon and epyc. Apple definitely has a lead on arm implementations.

Can you just refuse to upgrade your 2021 or previous (nothing on their device list applies to models released after 2021) to not be affected by this policy change? I have never noticed a useful feature in android version upgrades for quite a while now.

Apple hardware has always been a generation ahead. Even when android/qualcom catches up, next generation is out already. The reason to avoid apple was it being a closed system money grab.

does this control happen with a specific android version release? what number? Can I get a new phone with that version and sideload an alternative OS/ROM?

Perhaps counting only half of them? or perhaps slightly more than half, say 6/10ths

Very strong scientific and historical basis for going with 3/5ths. But if some stats make America look bad, I think 0/3rds would fix it, and fire the agency lead if they don’t go with 0/5ths of a person for black women. America was great when it was 3/5ths, and so 0/5ths is needed immediately to make America great again before my 3rd term election.

Funniest headline The Onion could have ever come up with!!!

Maybe the medicaid cuts will make the black women count rise faster than the white women count, and that will make it ok :(

Can we get one specific eugenics “inspired” quote from the rulership? (I’m not suggesting that none exist, just that they haven’t been posted around here for me to remember/have seen)

CCP subsidizes the absolute shit out of domestic EVs

Not really. Metal is cheap. Lithium and rare earths are cheap. Abundance policies for raw materials aren’t subsidies. Inflation is low and so are interest rates, and so factories are also cheap. Abundance in robotics too. Highly automated factories make low cost cars.

Prices are not absurdly lower than western cars. Maybe $5k less for equivalent to Tesla, and

which basically forces people to buy them

a key program in China is not from CCP. City governments give licence plates to EVs letting them drive every day. There is a trade in incentive, and sales tax break, still, afaik, but all of that is less than what US had, and EVs without subsidies are cheaper than ICE vehicles, as they are starting to be in the west as well.

You are being downvoted because you don’t know what you’re talking about, and “everyone’s a tankie” for not being as uninformed or propagandized as you.

for laptops, either get last or even further generation 8 core cpu and 5070/4070, or be happy with AI 300 series igpu. Buy more memory instead. You might one day want local AI/LLMs.
