@huskyjayhawk @texasrunnerDFW What if the editing is purely time of year/day or weather related?

@texasrunnerDFW Should be disclosure with any editing. As someone who is evaluating properties, I dismiss anything with AI editing. It's not HGTV. I don't want your vision of what the house could look like with substantial renovations.
English
The line between fraud and not fraud grows all the more hazy with AI
Is it fraud when a landlord touches up a photo of a property?
Is it fraud when a home seller uses AI to generate a furnished example of their unfurnished home?
How much “editing” is allowed before disclosure is required?

Landlords are using AI-generated images to make properties look better than they are in reality A report found examples of rooms being bigger and buildings appearing different to what they are in person

@realPaulMJ @gnuman1979 Majority of prices end in 4 and 9 if they're not a 0 or 5 already, so the house wins.

@Jam3sRyanTaylor @yacineMTB @IterIntellectus We try, but it’s not perfect, haha. Takes a lot of discipline to only have healthy snacks in a house and we to a bit of bribery with special treats occasionally to convince the 4yo to try new things and eat more healthy food
English
@DCLocalDesign @yacineMTB @IterIntellectus My house doesnt have unhealthy snacks in it, so when we go out they don't know to eat unhealthy, all they know is healthy foods, natural organic food
English
@txgermanbre @actsmaniac Most of the issue is actually that our healthcare system is extremely inefficient. If we spent as much as a percentage of GDP on healthcare as those European countries, then we could more easily afford universal healthcare even.
English
The issue I have is that this chart shows the opposite of your point. The US already has the most progressive income tax structure of the three. Europe taxes lower earners heavily via consumption/VAT and uses that revenue to fund robust transfers that reduce inequality. If you copy Europe’s taxes without copying the transfers and you’ve just made poor people poorer. That’s not sound fiscal policy, that’s just extraction. America is one of the most unequal and unstable societies, and if we JUST did that, my god, if it’s bad now I can’t imagine what happens next. I just saw this woman crying on cspan because she’s fully blind and lost her snap benefits due to the big beautiful bill and lost 30 lbs :(
English
The US needs to tax the poor badly if it wants to save the federal budget.

@Jam3sRyanTaylor @yacineMTB @IterIntellectus Eat them. If she gets French fries, then she’s not eating the chicken or pizza or whatever else is fed to her. French fries and potato chips are a scourge! At least until kids can figure out how to eat healthy themselves…
English
@Jam3sRyanTaylor @yacineMTB @IterIntellectus Man, the thing about getting their own snacks is I care about health and I really don’t want them eating nothing but goldfish every day.
Also, a vast majority of restaurants shovel French fries at you in the US and my 2yo will throw a huge fit if they are near her but she can’t
English
@IterIntellectus Good news is everything is always changing and this too will be a phase.
English
@IterIntellectus I have a 4yo, a 2yo, and a newborn. The newborn is the easiest of them. Not all are (if they are “colicky”, but he is easy).
The 2yo is tough right now. The 4yo is pretty easy too. The 2yo doesn’t understand conditional asks and throws fits screaming “No, no no!” When told no.

@uniqueRDC @malewiczz @WazzCrypto The people who make EV will make sure they only last so long. Every industry learns how to ensure they don’t produce themselves out of customers eventually…
English
@DCLocalDesign @malewiczz @WazzCrypto Those are body shop and tire shop work. The mechanics that do your oil changes transmissions, timing belts and brakes, etc are mostly gone with EVs. It may not disappear entirely but there will be exponentially fewer “mechanics” needed for EV maintenance and fix up.
English
@uniqueRDC @malewiczz @WazzCrypto There’s also body work, battery replacement, tire rotation, headlight replacements, and even motor replacements/fixing.
You can’t seriously believe Teslas never have to have any repairs or spend anything on fixes? I know people with Teslas and know for a fact they do.
English
@DCLocalDesign @malewiczz @WazzCrypto Brake pads last the life of the vehicle because they don’t get used for majority of the slowing down.
And for transmission, it’s fixed set of gears with no wear parts (clutch), so they don’t break either.
English
@DrDiGiorgio @DavidIAuerbach I also don’t trust my car mechanic for every fix or improvement they suggest, just like I don’t trust I need the extended warranty the dealer pushes. Should docs be thought of the same?
English
@DavidIAuerbach 1- occurs in many industries to the same extent or more. Ever done a home renovation or used a car mechanic?
2- agree and that’s a problem we should fix
English
Nobody minds when lawyers own law firms. There’s no talk of supplier induced demand or information asymmetry.
Yet doctors are somehow different.
Adam Bruggeman, MD@DrBruggeman
One of the most consequential healthcare policy mistakes of the last 15 years? The 2010 ban on physician-owned hospitals. I wrote about why repealing Section 6001 of the ACA isn’t a partisan issue. It’s a pro-competition, pro-patient, pro-community reform. The data are clear: physician-owned hospitals deliver lower readmission rates, lower mortality, higher patient satisfaction, and lower costs. ASCs have proven for decades that physician ownership doesn’t produce runaway utilization but instead produces efficiency. Meanwhile, 140+ rural hospitals have closed since the ban. Large systems are walking away from Medicare Advantage contracts. And yet independent physicians are blocked from stepping in with local solutions for local problems. It’s time to restore competition to American healthcare. offcall.com/learn/opinions…
English
@uniqueRDC @malewiczz @WazzCrypto EVs will still have brake pads, transmissions, sensors, and other various parts that can and will beak, but it would be less that combustion engines
English
@malewiczz @WazzCrypto Even without AI advancements, EV will push mechanics out of job anyway because of its longevity and simplicity.
English
@cremieuxrecueil “If you have ideas, feel free to tell me, because I’m just not seeing them, nor am I seeing how they’ll make a big difference anyhow”. Any hospital that accepts Medicaid/Medicare payments must provide the same rates to everyone else and make them publicly available?

Why won't this fake administrator growth in healthcare chart die?
It's so obviously fake, it's been debunked so many times now, and the authors just straight-up refuse to provide a source besides 'trust me, bro.'
Lauren Chen@TheLaurenChen
The growth of the administrative class over the past 30 years has been a disaster for education & health care. These administrators mostly just contribute to overhead costs, causing their industries to become more costly and less efficient. So why did this happen? In both cases, the answer lies in government regulation. Increased bureaucracy from the state has necessitated a growing number of people in education and health care whose entire job it is to fill out forms, without doing any actual educating or healing themselves. So taxpayers, students, and patients aren't just paying for teachers and doctors. They're paying to support a whole class of pencil pushers. It's madness.
English
@jesse_brodkin @JackScannell13 Possibly. I would imagine lots of the process needs physical verification which AI won’t help much with but I’m not involved with the field.
The real world (and especially biology) is much messier than many would want to believe
English
@DCLocalDesign @JackScannell13 lots, but I prefer to think of it as computers are actually hindering helping people😅 (because I'm jealous of the tech fields). Seriously though, I think there is just a ton of unhelpful hype around AI in drug discovery.
English
At last I understand why it costs 100x more to discover a drug today than in 1950. Our computers have slowed down.

Pharma is COOKED Isomorphic Labs just revealed IsoDDE: an AI system that designs drugs on a computer faster than any pharma R&D >doubles AlphaFold 3 on hard targets >20x better than Boltz-2 on antibodies >beats the physics gold standard at binding >found drug pockets from sequence alone that took 15 years to discover IsoDDE isn’t new btw. They’ve already been cooking on real drug programs for YEARS: “Brilliant scientific breakthroughs for next gen medicines” already achieved —@maxjaderberg And remember when Sir Demis Hassabis said all disease will be cured in 10 years? After today that doesn’t sound crazy anymore… Isomorphic Labs is the most underrated lab on earth and it’s not even close

@ETadpole @eden__space @AlecStapp I used to love biking to work through traffic in DC. I’m sure it was dangerous, but I felt invincible as a 20 something, and was cautious and courteous of the rules of the road. Not everyone is.
English
@ETadpole @eden__space @AlecStapp I live in a somewhat slow residential area of a city with metro popn of > 2M. I’ve lived in Washington DC in the past and it was much more congested than my mid-sized city today. I hate when people zoom down my street gunning engine at >40mph while my toddler is in the driveway

One of the most important statistics to be aware of:
Since 1965, productivity in the construction industry has fallen by 50%.
Productivity in the rest of the economy continues to improve, while construction lags further and further behind.
Brian Potter@_brianpotter
I'm working on a report that summarizes and expands the last several years of my work on construction productivity. This week, the first chapter: what are the overall trends in US construction productivity? construction-physics.com/p/trends-in-us…
English
@jesse_brodkin @JackScannell13 How much of this is explained by low hanging fruit being all taken and remaining treatable illnesses being exponentially difficult to find effective drugs for?
English
@ETadpole @eden__space @AlecStapp Manhattan will always be there. There is obviously tons of demand to live there. But it’s not for everybody. It appeals to a specific demographic and struggles to appeal to families with children
English
English
@ETadpole @eden__space @AlecStapp You might even be able to point to the idea that this type of urban development could save far more lives from pedestrian and cycling accidents than would be lost to fires, but I don’t think the people writing the codes would accept that.
English
@ETadpole @eden__space @AlecStapp Probably if you buried all the roads underground and made the above ground pedestrian only it would be a great solution, but in the US the fire codes won’t allow this as the fire trucks would loose access to buildings exteriors
