A family used Claude AI to reduce a hospital bill from $195,000 to just $33,000. The family says that Claude was able to identify duplicated charges, improper coding, and other violations. Amazing from several standpoints. The article doesn't reveal where this took place or what hospital system it was. But this is unconscionable and the hospital should be audited.

Well, DST has ended. Apparently making DST permanent was not popular in the U.S. when tried during the Nixon administration. I think we should make standard time permanent.
And humans apparently used to sleep in two shifts, with an hour of wakefulness in the middle of the night. This ended with the invention of artificial light.

Scientists think they have figured out how exercise supports memory capacity. Exercise stimulates secretion of BDNF which promotes adult hippocampal neurogenesis. These may be associated with extracellular vesicles which are induced after exericise.

AI Browsers can sneak past blockers and paywalls. I can see how they can break challenges and CAPTCHAs, but are they able to recall someone's username and password to get behing paywalls? The article really doesn't reveal how they do it, but that seems to me to be the only way.

San Francisco is going to build a new business tower. Will there be tenants? Hard to know, but if they build it so that people can enter without having to dodge street feces, and don't have to leave the safety of the building environment and venture outside, it could work. This isn't working for Portland, because they don't have anything like this.
In fact, a couple of British influencers were so shocked at how bad Portland was, that they cut their stay short.

Nah. Casio makes finger-sized versions of their watches. Yeah, they look as dumb as the description. No thanks.

Dumping problems onto Portland. Other states may be paying to have their homeless go to Portland. Better build more shelters, Keith Wilson! There'll be more people you'll want to stick there.

Holy crap! Oregon's unemployment claims are skyrocketing. Business are fleeing. SNAP will require that you have a job if you are able-bodied. You'll have to show that you're looking for work if you can. But if there is no work, then what?

UK's Telegraph health editor finds out that the British medical system sometimes is not helpful with prostate cancer screening. What a weird system they have, where GPs are told they must not suggest that such a patient have one. Whuut? Sounds like a broken system designed by Monty Python.
