@wsdot_traffic Right turn at Montlake from 520 WB has been red for 10–15 minutes. No cross traffic.

every day, i have several dozen interactions with software that is completely broken. it's not usually quite as bad as this, but this also isn't an outlier. nothing in the digital world fucking works.

as an industry, we have completely and utterly failed. we're a joke.

@hankgreen This is wild to me. I learned everything there was to know about mine. Especially with rarer cancers, medical errors are a thing. I think it’s important to be an informed partner in your care.

Ignoring the facts doesn’t make the cancer go away.

@AdamSinger @singletonion @Telegraph Come now, Lynn clearly has a good track record for understanding the future..

@RottenInDenmark Nobody is trying to take this away from him. On the other hand… what is he trying to take away from us? 🤔

@Shawty007BR549 @AshleyGWinter And I’m not sure how scheduling it addresses those harms. Supratherapeutic doses of testosterone have harms that the people using it that way are aware of. It is not addictive.

This is a substance that I medically need because of cancer. The CSA regularly makes this harder.

@forssto I’m sure there’s something, but orgs should behave rationally.

The cost for engineering to follow-through, including the cost of thrash, is often (usually?) not attributed to sales leaders. There’s little accountability.

We should be intentional with each other’s time.

Human beings like Gaiman are able condense a complex concept into an intuitive, concise package.

LLMs expand simple ideas into pedantic fluff.

This is not the future we want.

ChatGPT doesn't give you information. It gives you information-shaped sentences.

Not looking for medical advice, just for relevant case studies or recommendations as to whether or not I am being overly paranoid here.

[Gary Olsen (LosHuertos) @garylosh]

Anyone seen a false-positive hCG blood test >2000 IU/L? I don’t know which assay it was or whether a hererophilic antibody blocker was used. #MedTwitter

Can’t find any case studies of false-positives >400 IU/L.

(I’m fine, just trying to give good advice to someone else)

I acknowledge that the chance that this is cancer are low, but the consequences are serious if it is cancer and if diagnosis is delayed.

His physicians have refused to contact the lab to request serial dilution for his most recent hCG sample.
