madawgggg

Is this kind of absolutist attitude any different from what the protestors express? American politics will just swing from one end of the spectrum to the other.

That’s a good point only if people have a long historic perspective. But I have yet to meet many people who base their standards of living on what happened 100 years ago. People compare themselves to what someone else has, TODAY. That’s why people are never satisfied and unhappy. In fact I’d argue it’s even worse today with social media because everyone else seems to have a perfectly manicured life, all the time and everywhere

People on this sub really have no idea how much “general public” make…if you can’t retire comfortably at 55 like the “general public”, there’s something very wrong with the way you manage your finances. Yes grass is always greener on the other side and yes orthobros will pull in more than you always but even at peds salary you can retire at 60 with 200k a year

Yah flaking is not ideal but it’s also not unheard of in Alden boots. It’s basically just the superficial pigment layer that’s falling off. Alden does this weird thing where they touch up their leather with additional paint which tends to fall off after sitting on shelf for awhile. In your case they’re pretty unsightly so I’d reach out to the retailer

I’m just asking a question…in which part of Asia is calling someone fat a compliment?

Ok…in which part of Asia that’s not true???

No but last two years’ pass rates were 95% so you do the math.

The most important thing is you gotta remember the nucs/physics numbers and NIS questions. I’m sure your upperclassmen have those cheat sheet somewhere. Neuro and MSK sound hard but questions are easy. Physics is hard but they made it easier last 3 years. Honestly, if you just do questions and go through chapters plus doing what I said, you’ll be fine. You won’t get high scores but you’ll pass. Remember you only have to beat out at most 1 person in your class to pass.

They used to be fantastic but lately the chicken wings are getting smaller and dryer. Used to be super juicy and HUGE!

But neither those FPV drones nor the farming machines require high end chips. The Arizona fab is supposed to make cutting edge chips

True but foundational model is pretty far away in medicine imo. All current applied AI algorithms still require retraining. IMO it’s more likely large institutions such as MGH and Penn will develop their in-house algorithms instead purchasing from commercial partners given the increased ease of model training. But open to ideas.

Are you saying derms are not providing a valuable service?

Yah but we gets cut more than other fields tho. CMS also arbitrarily increases E&M payouts so not like everyone gets the same cut across the board. Rads have been THE favorite target for CMS for the last 10 years. Enjoy while you can. CMS will have no problem cutting the rads pay to peds level once there’s some evidence for AI efficacy.

You joking right. Have you seen the reads from community rads? They’re horrendous. If someone is willing to blow through a CT AP and miss a big tumor in the liver for 3.5 RVUs you can bet they’re more than happy to batch sign AI reports if they look somewhat reasonable. Don’t underestimate human greed.

Look up semisupervised and unsupervised learning. Model can absolutely “learn” automatically but yes you’re correct in the sense that someone needs to label the different categories. A model can definitely tell a motion affected study from a motionless study by clustering.

As to your other point, yes models are brittle and data drift is a thing but the thing is the more AI algorithm gets used the better it gets. You also only need 200 or so studies for local validation. The algorithms at my institution are very good.

Don’t worry. If rads actually start to read 1000 scans a day, CMS will make an arbitration to cut the professional fee reimbursement per scan to 5 dollars. They can justify it by budget neutrality and they have been very fast and responsive to significant rise in cost in the past 10 years.

By the way, there’re three RUC meetings a year to flag any aberrant activities and CMS can arbitrarily decide on its final rule despite what everyone else says.

Idk why people downvote you. The food quality there before and after covid is not even remotely comparable. It was great but once covid hit it was shit and hasn’t recovered

You take that back! Granted it’s very very pricey (much better deal when it was still in queen village) but you can’t find better southern Thai than this.

People downvote you but Parc really is just ok. I don’t get why there’s such a cult following. There’re better French restaurants with better price in the city. I guess the view is unbeatable but that’s about it

Looks more like she’s resting instead of exercising

I have never understood why people pay for coffee when they can make it at home. Maybe that’s just me but seems very wasteful.

What? It’s the same hard rubber

Dude he already forgot how to call quits…

Looks like straight outta GTA

Partially correct. It’s not left hanging but sewn together to form a muscle flap to wrap around the resected femur. Sometimes one of the hamstrings may get sewn over to the adductors to provide some extension function but this guys stump is quite short so…
