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.

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

Yeah exactly. I set up Zorin OS for my family who are not tech savvy at all. It was a bit different at first but they said they felt much “calmer” using Linux. Modern Windows feels like trying to read an article online or watch a YouTube video without an ad blocker.

Man, logging issues are like baby’s first engineering problem… That’s just embarrassing

The current system is kind of just the default system that nobody really planned out or thought about carefully. Unemployment, suffering, homelessness, inequality, billionaires, etc, are all baked into how it works. But it kind of mostly sorta works good enough that nobody is motivated enough to do anything about it, plus it directly benefits anyone who could do anything about it.

It’s rapidly reaching it’s limit, though, especially with A.I. and most people’s jobs being bullshit. I’m curious what the replacement will be, and I’m hoping the transition isn’t too… painful.

Yeah I had the problem of my mouse randomly registering 0.1mm of movement from a dust particles moving and turning the PC on randomly. I just use shut down, everything else is too annoying.

Yeah especially if you have a titchy laptop with 256GB SSD and 32GB RAM… that’s a huge relative percentage of storage wasted on a hiberfil.

I use Linux now, but when I did use Windows, I always turned off hibernate. It had it’s time in WinXP or 95 era, when hard drives took so long to spin up that you could leave and make a whole coffee and it would almost be done by the time you get back. We don’t need it anymore!

Always give your computer 8 hours sleep per night to keep it healthy

They tried to upsell me with my new car a few years ago. $1200 for one of these dashcams, Jesus. I said no and bought a $80 one at Officeworks.

But they said that basically the idea is if your SD card is destroyed or lost you have no evidence. This device always streams to the cloud, so theoretically it’s more robust. If the police takes your SD card at a crash (common in Australia), and then it’s lost or “lost”, your SOL. But of course you get privacy problems with any cloud…

I wonder if there’s a legal loophole here? Specifically this works by transcribing “important conversations” into text, it’s not actually storing .mp3 recordings. Obviously still disgusting and I hate it.
