@Figure_robot The real human-like advance, @Figure_robot, will be when you invent another robot that tells the first robot it’s loading it all wrong.

@MLBBruceLevine As a non-native Chicagoan who wishes both teams well (but root for the Cubs), did anyone notice that @whitesox attendance topped @cubs Sunday, both at home?

This "anti expert" sentiment is nothing new

Isaac Asimov clocked it in 1980

@jaysonst John Dewan, a Hall of Fame Sabermetrucs pioneer, and a Chicago White Six fan, invented the pitch framing stat. It would be interesting to hear what he has to say about the robo umps and to explore what they might mean for catcher compensation. @PWSullivan

@Bob_Wachter I’d heard about Ian, but not Jim Reason. You’ve beautifully summarized their contributions in brief @Bob_Wachter Both are undoubtedly advising God on how to improve the world if he’d just follow their advice. And they’d be right. @boltyboy @donberwick @healthythinker @bklepper1

Read it here first! @AmerMedicalAssn sells JAMA to #privateequity, @realDonaldTrump #healthcarereform plan covers $100/day of med expenses & post-Musk HHS agency combo known as ABCDEFFF. All wrong - but amusing. #healthpolicy @jrovner @petridishes @politico

Original source material is clear: Abuses by doctors and hospitals led to insurers' clout over coverage. Which doesn’t excuse absues by #healthinsurers or providers. Or violence. https://t.co/esyhDL0WSC @wendellpotter @lowninstitute @KFFHealthNews @ryansolsten

Can't get new @HisenseUSA TV to detect TV channels or soundbar. Much time, tech person couldn't solve. She gives up, says supervisor will call back "today or tomorrow" (!) takes my email & phone. And that's the last I heard. #customerservice

@hkumar747 @BestBuy @bestbuy @GeekSquad is bait&switch. Over 1 hr to get to right rep. New TV won’t work. Won’t come to house w/o charging $300 to take down old Tv and set up new. Can’t talk to local store. Broken promise.

@PostOpinions @crampell @crampell As a former journal, current wonk, I wrote in my Forbes column that the #healthpolicy issues we saw at the #DNC2024CHICAGO & #RNC are ones to win votes, not what wonks want to see; eg, no one demonstrating about #Medicaid. https://t.co/hOZwGHqaxE

[Michael L. Millenson @MLMillenson]

Politics drives #healthpolicy, so pay attn to issues invisible at #DNC & #RNC, like #Medicaid, #hospitalprices, #claimsdenials, #medicalerror. Also invisible, big donor influence. I look at @UnitedHealthGrp @OpenSecretsDC @wendellpotter via @forbes https://t.co/hOZwGHpCI6
