And thank you to @TaiwanSemi_TSC and @Samsung for your support in bringing this chip to production! It will be one of most produced AI chips ever.

Amazing project from ETH Zürich! This robot combines wheels with tilting propellers that push it against a wall while also generating upward force, allowing it to climb vertically with impressive agility.

I'd say the bird thinks they are eggs and he's trying to break them you know to eat.

[Interesting things @awkwardgoogle]

This bird just found out that golf balls bounce on concrete, and he’s having the time of his life 😂

I've been listening to Jordan's debates for years and this is an accurate depiction of his word salad imo. And funny.

Gotta be honest. The @realDonaldTrump EO on healthcare and in particular, drug pricing could save hundreds of billions.

Here is how:
1. Divorce formularies from PBMs. Require them to come from independent organizations with no economic incentive from the formulary
Make them about wellness, not pay for play like a grocery store endcap. This ends rebates and allows for net pricing. It also allows for better care and wellness.

2. Require PBMs to provide ALL claims data to employers, states and manufacturers. The manufacturers need this to provide better results. It’s insane they don’t have this data to analyze and improve patient results.

Plus they current pay 5 to 10 pct of the retail price to get that data so they can do just that. Make it so it’s required and they can save 10pct of RETAIL pricing , which they can use to lower pricing.

This also stops the 340b double dipping problem.

3. Remove the specialty tier and the requirement to buy from any specified pharmacy. There is nothing special about specialty drugs. They call them special to jack up the price. And of course have them divest any that they do.

4. Require that all pharmacies get fully reimbursed for brand drugs and get rid of the Generic Cost Ratio which allows distributors to jack up pricing on generics with the threat of chargebacks and more.. We need independent pharmacies to thrive

5. Remove confidentiality clauses. They prevent companies from talking to manufacturers. It’s insane that your company can’t talk to a GLP1 manufacturer (as an example) to help you put together a wellness plan and get you a better price

6. Stop biosimilar substitution calls. PBMs know that they need to find new sources of margin. They do it by white labeling their own biosimilar versions. That’s fine.
But because that’s where all the margin is, they will put a low cost biosim on the formulary, and when they get a script for the lower cost option, they will have someone call the prescribing doctor to switch to their more expensive version they make more money on. And because employers and manufacturers don’t get their data. They never know

Put me in coach ! I’m here to help.

@mcuban Short term horrible. Long term unknown. But a lot of hurting between here and there.

@wideawake_media Absolute hogwash! I'm gonna say this media is fast sleep not wide_awake. If you were awake then you might just independently research these claims instead of advertising a TV show.

If you are on a student visa you can get Social Security Number - this is not new or shocking or surprising LOL! People that are not citizens have Social Security. You go to Poland and you will get PESEL which is an equivalent. You need to pay taxes and track your contributions to Social Security etc.

🚨🧵 EXPOSED: “INFLUENCEABLE” — The company cutting Big Checks to “influencers” on behalf of Big Soda

Over the past 48 hours, several large supposedly MAGA-aligned “influencers” posted almost identical talking points fed to them, convincing you MAHA was out of line for not wanting soda purchases with food stamps (SNAP)

Some even slimely invoked PRESIDENT TRUMP as an emotional manipulation tactic, referring to his Diet Coke button.

Not a SINGLE ONE of them disclosed they were paid for these posts, which led readers to believe a general SODA BAN was in the works.

19. When Einstein met Chaplin in 1931, Einstein said: "What I admire about your art is its universality. You do not say a word, and yet the world understands you."

Chaplin replied: "It's true. But your fame is even greater. The world admires you, when no one understands you."
