First time with AI, yeah, but I am not surprised since I've seen it with every other tech fad. People come up with solutions to implement, not problems to solve.

No, Medicare and CMS are run exceptionally well with some of the least fraud and waste in the entire government. CMS is NOT an agency you want to screw with because they come down like a ton of bricks when they find fraud. People go to pris

Source is my own lived work experience. In the healthcare companies I've worked in, the size of teams to investigate benefit coverage, to bill, and then to nag insurers to actually pay us works out to roughly 15% of the total staff. Th

Correct, it's cost both for insurers AND provider organizations. We have an entire team of humans who call insurance companies on the telephone to verify insurance benefits because most insurers make it EXTREMELY difficult to determine

Yeah, going single payer alone could reduce that 17% to 13%, maybe more, just through eliminating all the barriers insurers put up to providers being paid and administrative overhead.

As someone who works in healthcare IT, I can ensure you that everyone is sick of United Healthcare, too. Such a PITA to deal with.

I spend 90 minutes in a meeting with our CEO and two board members and the one guy went on almost the entire time about how amazing OpenAI Operators was and how we should find a way to replace most of our people with it. All because it was

You have to have people willing to enforce the laws we have. We don't have that these days, incredibly few people in government over the past 4 years have been willing to try to push back against his racket.

Just because a law is unenforced (selectively or not) doesn't mean the actions that law describes are suddenly legal. Texas is not enforcing laws with respect to SpaceX and others, but the laws are still on the books, usually to enable

There are people literally claiming masks and vaccines are against their religion. That's not victim blaming, it's stating a fact. It's the same as saying Joe got hurt in a car crash and wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

As I said, and as you said, the issue is your dev team. So since you've identified the problem, changing the CMS isn't going to solve your core issue. You need a better dev team.

NYTimes runs on Wordpress, so it can scale you just need the engineers to make it work. That said, NYTimes isn't running WP off of a single server. I think what you need is a better/more robust platform engineering team rather tha

Not really. Plant Vogtle in Georgia was way over budget and still was "only" $35bn. $500bn could get you 14 of those.

by burnte 2y ago
That was literally my question. Is this basically just for more datacenters, NVidia chips, and electricity with a sprinkling of engineers to run it all? If so, then that $500bn should NOT be invested in today's tech, but instead in mak

When they replace you with an H1B, then wages in America go down. I don't want that for my fellow Americans. When they outsource and the worker stays overseas, there's a lot of issues that crop up, and the company can learn to liv

Any time you go through motions to fulfill regulatory requirements that you have no intention of ACTUALLY abiding by is fraud. "difficult to get elsewhere" is not a sufficient reason to commit fraud. In fact, the regulations are e

Water is a lot less luminescent than LEDs. I think the effect might be reduced if changed to a water based display.
