@Figure_robot The real human-like advance, @Figure_robot, will be when you invent another robot that tells the first robot it’s loading it all wrong.

Today we're unveiling F.02 loading the dishwasher autonomously

@MLBBruceLevine As a non-native Chicagoan who wishes both teams well (but root for the Cubs), did anyone notice that @whitesox attendance topped @cubs Sunday, both at home?

Cubs on pace to draw 3 million fans ( close to 37,000 average) for first time since 2019.They have drawn more than 3 million 12 times. Attendance at the Tokyo Dome counts for the two home games they had there against the Dodgers.

This "anti expert" sentiment is nothing new Isaac Asimov clocked it in 1980

@jaysonst John Dewan, a Hall of Fame Sabermetrucs pioneer, and a Chicago White Six fan, invented the pitch framing stat. It would be interesting to hear what he has to say about the robo umps and to explore what they might mean for catcher compensation. @PWSullivan

“We’re humans. Can we just be judged by humans?” Max Scherzer was on the wrong end of two robot-ump challenges Tuesday. He had some thoughts. I wrote about them! nytimes.com/athletic/61595…

@Bob_Wachter I’d heard about Ian, but not Jim Reason. You’ve beautifully summarized their contributions in brief @Bob_Wachter Both are undoubtedly advising God on how to improve the world if he’d just follow their advice. And they’d be right. @boltyboy @donberwick @healthythinker @bklepper1

Yesterday, two of my healthcare heroes passed away – both brilliant, insightful & very funny. Jim Reason, the UK psychologist whose "Swiss cheese model" defined the patient safety field; & Ian Morrison, the futurist who explained healthcare with unmatched wit & wisdom. RIP.

Read it here first! @AmerMedicalAssn sells JAMA to #privateequity, @realDonaldTrump #healthcarereform plan covers $100/day of med expenses & post-Musk HHS agency combo known as ABCDEFFF. All wrong - but amusing. #healthpolicy @jrovner @petridishes @politico

Original source material is clear: Abuses by doctors and hospitals led to insurers' clout over coverage. Which doesn’t excuse absues by #healthinsurers or providers. Or violence. @AHIPCoverage" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">chicagotribune.com/2024/12/22/opi… @wendellpotter @lowninstitute @KFFHealthNews @ryansolsten

December 1992: engineer Neil Papworth sent the first recorded SMS text message, ‘Merry Christmas,’ via the Vodafone network to the phone of a colleague! #ThrowbackThursday #mwc25

Can't get new @HisenseUSA TV to detect TV channels or soundbar. Much time, tech person couldn't solve. She gives up, says supervisor will call back "today or tomorrow" (!) takes my email & phone. And that's the last I heard. #customerservice

@hkumar747 @BestBuy @bestbuy @GeekSquad is bait&switch. Over 1 hr to get to right rep. New TV won’t work. Won’t come to house w/o charging $300 to take down old Tv and set up new. Can’t talk to local store. Broken promise.

@BestBuy Plus Total membership promises 24/7/365 dedicated customer support but they just put you on hold @bestbuy

Wait till a nurse asks about the right dressing #MedicalAI

This could have been used an example for how NLP is not there yet in 1998 paper on word sense disambiguation.

Men, ready for that special finger insertion? Also does breast exams. And you thought #DigitalHealth just meant an app. #prostatehealth #breastexam #MedicalAI therobotreport.com/researchers-cr…

Is the medical establishment ready for #PatientsUseAI as part of #MedicalAI & #DigitalHealth? See: “Medical Journal Webinar Shows Ambivalence On AI, Patient Partnership” #BeLikeLight @BeLikeLight @HugoOC @NEJM_AI @forbes forbes.com/sites/michaelm…

@PostOpinions @crampell @crampell As a former journal, current wonk, I wrote in my Forbes column that the #healthpolicy issues we saw at the #DNC2024CHICAGO & #RNC are ones to win votes, not what wonks want to see; eg, no one demonstrating about #Medicaid. forbes.com/sites/michaelm…

"Health care" is both everywhere and nowhere this election cycle, @crampell writes. wapo.st/4g2OPlo

Politics drives #healthpolicy, so pay attn to issues invisible at #DNC & #RNC, like #Medicaid, #hospitalprices, #claimsdenials, #medicalerror. Also invisible, big donor influence. I look at @UnitedHealthGrp @OpenSecretsDC @wendellpotter via @forbes forbes.com/sites/michaelm…
