Re:The darker side of being a doctor
on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @09:26AM (#49815792)
anecdote alert: had a family member treated by a foreign doctor last year, and received advice from that doc that was both 1) highly dangerous, 2) bare minimum 20 years out of date.
Inconceivable that a domestically-trained doc would have made the same mistake.
sounds like an argument in favor of structured output, is that right?

It's obvious, now that we have fast, flashy, quiet cars, that part of the appeal of supercars has always been the sound of the engine.

In my experience, finding a quality board has always been topic focused. I.e. if you have a Toyota Corolla and want to communicate about that, just look for Corolla forums, and it'll quickly become obvious if one is lively / your vibe.

It never ceases to amaze me how google search _used_ to work great for stuff like this. You could just type "tbray {obscure term on a blog entry from 10 years ago}" and bam, instant result.
I guess google generates more ad revenue with users forlornly paging through search results, hoping against hope that what they're looking for is there somewhere...

ideally, science would be the best available information on "is". When the science is i.e. funded by a tobacco company and regarding the safety of tobacco, we should be skeptical. How much of current science falls in a similar class?

true. I wasted over a year waiting to get a base model Toyota Sienna, and eventually realized they might as well not exist.

Since 90% of my car trips are under 30 minutes, yes that would be worthwhile.
The other 10% are beyond any practical battery range, so a BEV isn't an option.
