Good news. We can make plantman that feeds on radiation. Twice a year there would be a glowing sumo tournament in Fukushima.

We might replace the scribe we've had for the last 4 months with an AI scribing service lol

I just had my dad try out about three patients on a telemed call with the service running in the background and it blew us both away with how quickly it formulated a note (5-7 minute call transcribed in about 30 seconds) and then how fleshed out the note was for a human not being involved in constructing it.

We're going to give it a week or so to try and catch any caveats but with the way my dad works, it's taking off about 10 minutes from writing notes. And he sees anywhere from 20-40 patients a day, between telemeds and office visits.

Good news. We can make plantman that feeds on hydrocarbon. Every 4 years we can celebrate the beauty of carbon at a festival. Ward off the devil's blue light. I see so much carbon in my future, what about you?

sorry, I'm so stupid. I thought hydrocarbon and carbohydrates are the same things. Doh! mmmm pasta

 

[Tha Massive Bell]

Remember low carb diet? I knew that was a crock of shit. Now it's Ozempic. And I'm offended at seeing articles with titles like "Ozempic might cure [insert illness] " or some shit like that. Trying to multipurpose patented drugs while vilifying cheap, reliable alternatives. Fuck Big Pharma, clearly they have no idea what Ozempic does to the body. Same with other drugs.

FDA, You're fucking FIRED!

The patient should decide if they want notes written by A.I. - not the doctor.

 

[Jokerman]

AI should decide. Notes, and everything to do with the patient's health. If they decide sex change, then you have to get one.

 

[dilla]

I used it for my brief encounters and it worked well.

We used it with a patient today for a 40 minute encounter. It cut the fluff talk in between about personal life stuff and stuck to the relevant stuff.

It's pretty damn good. I hope these companies remain in compliance because I would hate for there to be some scandal that wipes them all away legally.

 

[Da_Funk]

My portfolio is up an insane amount because of AI. Kind of all I really care about tbh

You guys set up solar panels in your home? I've been seeing companies advertise their solar stuff for over a decade now and some houses in my neighborhood have a roof covered in panels.

I just wish I knew how much it cost them and how much energy is captured. And also what the limitations are to what you can use to source energy from all that collected power. Surely not an AC unit lol. But it'd also be useless if you're just charging your electronics with it, too.

No. But I'm going to be installing a Tesla powerwall next year. Charge it overnight with cheap energy and use it during the day

Tokaimura nuclear accident

Masato Shinohara, 40

9-30 Exposed to 10Sv on face and arms
10-10 Bruising, vomiting, diarrhea, unconsciousness
11-10 skin begins to fall off, 70% of skin is lost
12-20 continued skin graft procedures
1-4 skin grafts to his face, DNA too damaged for regrowth

dies from fatal lung and kidney failure after excruciating 7 months.

Building these time bombs and storing waste on a series of fault lines known as Japanese archipelago was the worst decision made by the rulers in its 10,000 year history. All for what? Power vending machines and pachinko parlors?

A modern nuclear reactor is as safe as sitting I'm your mum's basement and typing on streethop. If you ignore the warnings and the processes, as has been the case with quite a lot of nuclear disasters, then of course things will go wrong.


Look for oil drilling disasters, coal mining disasters, People who've been killed by electricity etc. Tons of examples exist across every form of energy generation

 

[Tha Massive Bell]

I don't believe you.

What's a half life of Uranium? I heard the "very safe" Fukushima is going to take thousands of years to clean up. And probably not in a natural way that makes sense but a clean up that involves money.

It's okay if you make money on it. I don't care, people have been making money of oil and super fund sites for years. That's not the point.

Build a reactor in your basement right under the nursery then. Yeah, I didn't think so. As long as they build it somewhere else, right mate?

 

[Jokerman]

Also, they still haven't come up with a way to dispose of radioactive waste that doesn't eventually leak and wind up in baby food and McDonald's. I'm trying to clean it up from my Mom's basement right now.

I am so out of the loop, I didn't know this existed.

I went on Tesla's site and put my address in and other information. It tells me $48K for the panels and one Powerwall unit lol. Cash price.

But with incentives, it could be $20k, which....seems OK, but I don't know how long it would take to see the recovery of that money and in to savins. It's pretty neat though. If you see it as a means to live "off the grid" or as battery backup, the "savings" aspect may not matter as much. But if you're a cheap-ass like me and wants free power, there might be a better way to get panels and batteries installed for cheaper and see returns sooner? I know "free" power is not really feasible with a reasonable amount of panels but to have a lot of your appliances at home run off battery would be really cool and I'd be good with that.

Is it Costa Rica that produces enough solar energy that it could power the nation completely? Or am I misremembering? Or is it more nuanced than that and not entirely accurate?

Around 10 years ago I heard rumors of scary looking guys in Tokyo recruiting homeless and poor people to go work at the Fukushima clean up. The devil's in the detail they say. Won't catch me cleaning that shit up.
