While he was replaced, and he’ll continue to be replaced, I still found this to be somewhat uplifting.

Now I’ll go back to forgetting that shit stain ever lived.

I’m ready to weep from this.

Every time any problem comes up, my current manager insists we must use Excel to solve it.

israel knowingly(according to BBC and many high ranking sources) let october 7 happen

Any links for this? I’ve wondered about that from the beginning, but I haven’t seen anyone “official” come out and suggest it.

I live in The U.S., so of course I’m not actually familiar with a functional health care system. However almost 50 years ago when I was in elementary school, there were health lessons that taught us kids how to brush and floss.

Regular flossing doesn’t seem to be the kind of thing you should need an X-ray to learn about.

“Tricked” implies that he cares if it’s true or not.

He’s not being tricked any more than Rupert Murdock is tricked by the stories his company promotes.

I think the LLM could be decent at the task of being a fairly dumb personal assistant. An LLM interface to a robot that could go get the mail or get you a cup of coffee would be nice in an “unnecessary luxury” sort of way. Of course, that would eliminate the “unpaid intern to add experience to a resume” jobs. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad,l. I’m also not sure why anyone would want it, since unpaid interns are cheaper and probably more satisfying to abuse.

I can imagine an LLM being useful to simulate social interaction for people who would otherwise be completely alone. For example: elderly, childless people who have already had all their friends die or assholes that no human can stand being around.

Think of the savings if you replace the CEO with an AI!

You’ve turned off your monitor and turned it back on.

Stupid people?

Hopefully.

not the name of the software/company, but rather some sort of advanced DDOS-like attack

As we’ve discovered, both can be true.

On Friday, as we were running around the hospital where we work trying to get every computer working again, we were following the work-around to rename the Crowdstrike folder under C:\Windows\system32\drivers to “bad-CrowdStrike”.

When my coworker was typing the rename command, instead of typing “cro TAB”, he started typing “clo TAB”. He’d ask me why it wasn’t finding it, and I’d point out the typo.

I started saying, it’s not “CloudStrike”, it’s “CrowdStrike”.

By the end of the day, we were both a little loopy. I started typing “CloudStrike”, and cursing him out for screwing with my head. By the end of the day I wasn’t sure what it was either.

CloudStrike

CrownStrike

ClownStrike

It occurred to us that CrowdStrike is an absolutely terrible name. It sounds like a terrorist attack. Of course, it felt like one on Friday.

None of that precludes notifying patients in the waiting room that the doctor is running late.

It was hectic. She loved being an eye doctor, but she hated running the practice. Unfortunately, she got sick and was not able to keep working.

Holy shit that’s bad!

Yeah. My wife was an eye doctor in private practice, and she was positively militant about never getting behind schedule.

She very rarely ran behind. It would require a cascade of emergencies.

I usually don’t get all that pissy about doctors running late. However, there was one time I was really irritated.

I took my wife to the doctor for an appointment. She got the first appointment of the day. We were there 45 minutes early. We waited more than 30 minutes past when the appointment was supposed to start. While we were waiting there, the doctor came in through the waiting room.

It’s one thing to be running late because of the normal day to day delays that happen in a medical practice, but if you’re actually just running late getting to work, you should call and have your staff let the patients know.

Can’t someone give him a comb or a brush or something? Maybe a hat?

Or it shouldn’t be a fine, but criminal prosecution for the executives responsible.

The only worse choice for CEO is Chambers. She had a valid reason to just fire his ass. If he’s not willing to do what he’s told to do, then he’s not willing to do his job. It looks to me like the board wanted to get rid of him for reasons that had nothing to do with cancer. Why reference the cancer at all?

I have the feeling the only reason they didn’t just get rid of him was because of the cancer diagnosis. Trying to be “nice”. But even if the cancer was the reason for not just cutting him loose, there’s no reason to bring it up.

How does the CEO not know referencing the cancer would expose them to liability? Did they not sit down with their lawyers before sitting down with him?

Now they’re probably going to lose in court and be forced to pay him off.

They should fire Chambers.
