It looks like an offline tool that reviews existing medical records to find indicators of addiction:

Overall, the AI screener was as effective as provider-only assessments in leading to addiction specialist consultations. However, those who received AI screening were 47% less likely to be readmitted to the hospital within 30 days after initial discharge.

The team calculated that each readmission avoided saved about $6,800 in health care costs during the study period. The findings suggest that investment in AI could help to increase access to addiction treatment, improve efficiencies, and save costs.

That’d track

They aren’t gonna leave until it’s untenable here.

Postcrime will be there?

Precrime will be here!

and “enters” ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

My machine is not a workhorse. I got it second hand. It has around 8gb of RAM, and an 80gb HDD I found in a laptop.

But it’s enough to work as a testbed, so it’s fine with me.

I’ve finally powered on a 15 year old machine to run a bot I’ve been writing. The thing is slow as dirt and stuck behind a flakey power line network, but it’s working. I got to write my first systemd service definition, which is kind of cool.

All existing health data and features, however, will remain free.

Perfect!

there’s always next time

I prefer the term alternately bad.

except that one guy

I’ve worked with three incredible developers who I’d consider 10x: people who can reliably build a solution quickly, or debug problems that go deep into the OS. One would fit your description, one is a mom who shuttles her kid to after school stuff, and the other is a really nice music nerd.

Like the post states, some people are in the right place at the right time: they have the right background and temperament to do really well at their job. They don’t need to be shitty people.

I don’t really get what selling Chrome and Android would accomplish.

There was a leak of Google’s old page ranking algorithm (not PageRank, but how they change the order of results on search) - it looked like they used a bunch of signals from Chrome about the amount of time users spend on a page, how quickly they go back, etc. Chrome gives the search side of the business an advantage.

Conversely, Android feeds a bunch of extra data to the ad business about what people do in real life.

Both products give the rest of Alphabet a significant advantage over their competitors, and make it harder for new entrants to get a foothold.

Times are tough.

it’s ok she has baby

Me: does nothing

Evolution: fuck you

“accidentally”

Good, night dick!

Damn! I didn’t realize the radar was so expensive.
