My doctor accidentally wrote a prescription for a three month supply of a medication for an acute illness that is generally not prescribed and certainly not filled for more than a month of quantity at a time, and generally not for more than 10 days.

When I placed my order, I thought the price was high, but figured it was because I hadn't hit my deductible and it was an expensive medicine. There was no obvious indication on the UI about the quantity of the prescription, just the price.

Amazon pharmacy accordingly sent me almost a small pharmacy-worth of this medicine. I called them and asked why the pharmacist didn't notice that this was a _highly_ unusual quantity of this medication (The quantity was *EIGHT* retail packages of the medicine) and raise a flag and check with the provider or me. The pharmacist I spoke to told me that they personally would have done so in this circumstance and told me they would refund the order and provide feedback to prevent this sort of thing from happening in the future. I later got an automated email that the refund request by the pharmacist was rejected by their finance department and could not be appealed.

I won't be using Amazon pharmacy again.

It takes time for a tick to transmit lyme disease, but you can also take a single dose of doxycycline as post-exposure prophylaxis if you think it was attached for a while and ask a doctor

And possibly even if you do understand it! It seems like it might be a fundamentally intractable problem with LLMs, even if it can be made more difficult to do, no?

I watched a cross-country trip review of a Volkswagen EV and one of the big takeaways was that despite funding Electrify America, the experience of using their chargers, even with a Volkswagen, was terrible at the time of review. Not only were the chargers often out of service or underpowered, you had to use some app on your phone where you type in the charger ID # to turn it on, instead of the car negotiating it.

Very interesting. The chorus has the lyrics: "a message from my heart" and then "listen to this message" before going into the section with the morse code message.

I noticed that the job posting locations and the headline locations don't match. Are these for Canadian candidates only or are all roles also open to US remote candidates?

The reason it's not the "best Signal" is that WhatsApp doesn't have reproducible builds or any guarantees that e2e isn't subverted on the client side or removed entirely. And it's run by a company with incentives that are misaligned to e2e encryption and a history of product updates that don't respect the privacy or preferences of the end user.

I went and looked at the application form for the first job linked and this is absolutely standard in the US at every company I've ever applied to. It's not just some Wikimedia thing. It's voluntary to fill it out and the company is not supposed to use it in deciding who to hire. The purpose is to have retrospective data a company can use to make sure they are not introducing bias into their hiring process.

OK this just feels like this topic is an excuse for you to trot out tired tropes about bi people while scare-quoting the word to delegitimize the orientation.

What you're doing is called bi erasure. It happens from straight and gay people. Bi doesn't necessarily mean attraction or experience is exactly equally split. For some people it is, for some people it isn't. Some people may change how they self describe. None of that means people aren't legitimately bi.
