  • Besides gas and housing, what else makes you do a double take at how much it costs now?

  • In Australia, surprisingly and disappointingly, medical appointments. Seeing a specialist for anything is about $500 AUD, after Medicare rebate. So you need to have more than that much liquid cash on the day, and be able to tank the hit.

    I still remember being in line behind this mother whose child was clearly extremely unwell mentally. When she heard the price for the psychiatrist appointment she's like, I can't pay that... Let alone 2 or 3 times because psychiatrists never diagnose on the first visit. She had her own (understandable) mental breakdown, and stepped outside to call family to borrow money.

    You shouldn't need a payment plan to get antipsychotics. Somehow still cheaper than the scam that is private health insurance though.

  • Careful about flashing that kind of cash

  • Why AI Scribes, Widely Embraced By Doctors, Spook Therapists

  • A while ago I had to go to urgent care for deep vein thrombosis. The nurses were struggling with the scribe tool more than talking to me / inspecting me. The final straw was when I said "left leg" but it wrote "right leg", and got all my medication names wrong. They gave up on it and pulled out a paper and pen lol

  • Every medical professional I've spoken to says they hate the A.I. scribe because it makes so many mistakes and gets confused, but they're forced to use it by the practice manager / institution they work at.

  • Yes you're right, I was being hyperbolic. We're 90% mostly-in on cars

  • trains rule

    Jump

  • The only reason cars are good right now is because countries like US and AU went 100% all in on cars. Do you have any idea the astronomical cost of public roads and car infrastructure? Imagine if we invested the same amount into a really really good train and tram system. Or, alternatively, imagine if we underfunded roads the same way we do public transport.

  • For coding tasks I treat A.I. as a fresh intern that doesn't really know what they're doing but you can just ask them to do that horribly tedious task and just do a code review later. As you said, something like "rewrite this in Rust", or "create unit tests for this function". Then you fix all it's mistakes. I'd never let it touch an actual algorithm or anything important though.

  • What do you think happens when you die?

    Jump

  • You go back to where your consciousness comes from. Everyone has their own idea of what that means, but I don't think anyone is 100% correct.

    Actually, personality I believe that everyone is correct. You can go chill in heaven for a while, do whatever you want, maybe come back to Earth again after a breather.

    You know that feeling when you're playing a really intense game or watching a movie, and then it ends? And you just sit there like, damn. That was epic. Then you talk about it with your friends and family, maybe eat lunch, just hang out for a while before deciding what to do next? The comfortable zone after an exciting event but before boredom sets in. Maybe that movie was peak for you and you're done forever, maybe not.

  • Honestly I have no idea how all this works, it seems very confusing. But luckily I don't need to understand it to use it lol. I just picked the Australia zone because I live there

  • That makes sense. I kind of just assume everyone can find out my identity if they try hard enough. So my infosec is as if I'm speaking to a stranger on a nearby train. They could probably follow me home but I don't give them a reason to and I don't say anything incriminating.

  • Out of curiosity, what's the purpose of multiple accounts?

  • What would realistically happen if universal healthcare went into effect in the US and healthcare was no longer tied to jobs?

    Jump

  • I've never been to the UK, I've only heard it's similar to the situation in AU second hand from people who have actually lived there.

    For example when I needed to see a psychiatrist it took 18 months, a rheumatologist took 24 months, and general medicine physician took 20 months. My ex's psychiatrist took 12 and psychologist took 6, only because it was a critical emergency. I'm glad you had a good experience though

  • Ford had to hire back former engineers to fix mistakes made by its automated systems

  • I would probably do it for 6 month's income as a lump sum to fix that 1 thing. I wouldn't go back on payroll that's for sure

  • It's been joked that Australia is half socialist, and I kind of agree with it. Never been to the UK so I can't say much about that.
