I remember GRC SpinRite when I was a WIndows user. It's been updated after 20 years. We Mac users have OnyX from Titanium Software.

This is crazy. Sam Altman wants 5 gigawatt datacenter for his projects. This is presumably to create AGI? The human brain doesn't require that much power, and it makes one appreciate nature. How about we build an underground computer facility, make it nuclear-proof. Call it Colussus.

Speaking of brains, some additional insights into the brain structure of those with autism spectrum disorder. My question is that with all these anatomic differences, how did these arise so often, such that we have so many autistic kids?

Hospitals (and medical clinics) need to be evaluated differently. How well do they do prospectively, on index cases that you can compare from hospital to hospital, clinic to clinic, not on bulk statistics.Hospitals are evaluated on various metrics, especially their mortality rate. This metric shows how many people die after treatment at a facility. It is aimed at measuring the quality of care. But it created bad incentives.
Consider a scenario where a critically ill patient is admitted to a hospital. If the staff thinks the patient will likely die, they may take drastic measures to protect their mortality rate. This could mean refusing further treatment. Or, it could mean forcing the patient's family to transfer them to another facility. This decision often comes after the hospital has made the most money from its services.
By pushing out patients on the brink of death, these hospitals gain two benefits. They maximize their profit and lower their mortality rate. From a management perspective, this appears to be a win-win situation. The hospital maintains a prestigious status with an apparently low mortality rate. This also boosts its financial performance.
Steve Jobs 10 minute rule. I'll try it next time, although I think for me, it's a 15 minute rule. I give it a bit longer before I get an walk away.

Well now. Key Dems don't like Measure 118. But will Oregon voters override their concerns? That's the thing. You never know with Oregon voters.

Is Oregon one of the hardest-working states in the America? Doesn't look like it.
