Guys, I flew too close to the Twitter sun, and got hacked. Now my old account @cmillernd2005 is being used for crypto scams. But don't worry. You can catch all my #NotreDameHotTakes here (and maybe some #txlege health care policy takes too).

You used to have to know how to write code to turn your expertise or idea into something that could scale and that’s no longer the case. Mastery of engineering was previously the barrier to success in the digital marketplace but that is no longer the case. What a time to be alive!

If you run a company, you now have a fiduciary/legal responsibility to make sure your healthcare benefits actually benefit your employees. If not , you are legally liable. You have to learn how it all works. You can’t ask a broker or consultant to figure it out for you. The responsibility stays with you and never goes to them. Even if they lie, steal and cheat you. It’s all on you.

The gap between insane model capabilities and somewhat ho-hum real-world consequences of those capabilities continues to interest me. The AI prophets seem to have nailed the rate of model improvement but overrated the near-term impact. The unemployment rate is low, financially or infrastructurally devastating cyber attacks seem blessedly rare, etc. Maybe we’re in a kind of Engel’s Pause but for real-world consequences, or maybe the better theory is some kind of Messy World Hypothesis where it’s really really hard for new technology to leave its mark, bc the world as it exists is a museum of inertias and frictions.

Welcome to my theory on traveling with children. ~1-3 is the hardest time to travel with kids for a variety of developmental reasons, and the windows before and after that are actually much easier than the general population would assume.

Lack of fairness and transparency in medical billing practices absolutely impacts people's willingness to utilize care. Medical professionals have got to take back control over billing from their corporate outsourced billing offices. Otherwise rational people will avoid them if at all possible.

Happens all the time. Even happens when you don't ask questions, but the practice is under pressure to generate billable events. All of a sudden ear infection diagnoses show up even if neither you nor your kid complained of any symptoms, nor asked for any medication.

Our long national nightmare is over.

Bigger deal than it should be.

Utah unveiled 3 new AI sandbox participants this AM: 1) Nolla Health, using face photos for acne Rx's 2) August AI, another refills app 3) Expect Fitness, pelvic floor physical therapy FDA's discussion paper on generative AI-enabled medical devices gives some indication of their thinking. But there's still ambiguity in how FDA will interface with and learn from Utah and other state sandboxes as they get set up. Even if states allow AI to prescribe the feds / FDA still have statutory authority over this area and all the sandboxes live (or die) by their grace.

I give the BYU folks on here a lot of crap, mostly because they haven't been competitive in a game that matters in a long time, but this diagnosis of a problem is absolutely correct. A 24 team playoff doesn't really solve that problem though and just makes a lot of other things worse. The selection process itself is obviously corrupt, and needs to be fixed. The entity/process that decides playoff inclusion should not be contractually tied to put on an exclusive TV performance for a network with a vested interest in the outcome. The decision-making process should be fully independent. I'd prefer an algorithm agreed upon in advance of the season.

The only generation that knows how computers work is also the most relaxed about AI:

How is this guy a cfb reporter for the athletic?

Some truth here, but I think Ethan over-estimates the extent to which individual workers are utilizing AI effectively, and the extent to which "using AI better" is a skill as opposed to an aptitude. The organizational bottlenecks are real. But I don't suspect most workers are close to hitting them.

This is probably more about the Curt Cignetti effect than anything to do with post-season size. I'm against expansion for the record. I just think a lot of teams who have suffered through endless 7 and 8 win seasons and being told by their athletic department that [Narduzzi/Stoops/Doeren] is doing a great job, and the fans should be happy with that crap saw *INDIANA* make the playoffs in year 1, and win the natty in year 2 of a new coach.

"Do not bet against the airplane. The skeptics who say AI can't conjecture, can't theorize, and can't explain are describing last spring's models. Within months, they will be describing nobody. The evidence is already on the table, and those with eyes can see it."

Not trying to oversimplify things, but ….

Michigan’s ATS record before, during, and after Stalions. #GoBlue 〽️

Yes, more accurately this.

Wow
