How hard would it be for AI to write the code for an electronic health record I wonder? Need to find someone who is can read and write code if I can get the bones of one built up
My life experience had made me cold and cynical. My children helped me find some hope for humanity, enjoy the natural wonder of the world, and see the world again through fresh eyes where everything is magical and new. My children most likely saved me from a world where darkness almost consumed me.
"A Five knot increase (6 mph) may not seem like much, but in terms of dynamic wind pressure it’s a bit more than it seems. 5 knots is only a 5% wind increase, but it is a 10 percent increase in dynamic wind pressure (the force the wind exerts on trees, buildings, etc). The damage estimate did drop though, because the shifts during the day reduced the winds over the “target rich” Tampa/Clearwater corridor."

Good timing. Read this before I saw your post

"BRICS, at the conclusion of its summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, announced an expansion with the addition of six new member states — Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and UAE. This is a big deal. It is the first expansion of the grouping since 2010, when South Africa joined, and the biggest step since the 2015 founding of its New Development Bank.
The expansion will bring in deep-pocketed and energy-rich Gulf states, will enhance Africa and Latin America’s representation, and showcase the great diversity of the member states’ domestic political systems. It also embeds regional rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran into what is starting to look like a broader multilateral institution, which could help cement the two’s growing thaw."
In the fields the bodies burning and the war machine keeps turning
How US media builds public support for confrontation with China
"A recent NBC Nightly News threat hyping segment exemplifies the fourth estate’s complicity in a march to a new cold war with Beijing."
"First, hype the threat...
Second, the segment completely ignored the wider context and the complexities of U.S.-China and U.S.-Russia relations...
And lastly, this all led to the idea that more money for the Pentagon is in order. “Alaska senators today (are) renewing calls for increased investment in military power in Alaska,” Gilcrhist said — without any examination of whether that is even necessary. .."

"... In this cohort study, the incidence rates of early-onset cancer increased from 2010 to 2019. Although breast cancer had the highest number of incident cases, gastrointestinal cancers had the fastest-growing incidence rates among all early-onset cancers. These data may be useful for the development of surveillance strategies and funding priorities.

The US is slowly slipping globally and falling USD does not help
"BRICS is gradually making a mark. It has more recently attracted major interest for membership from more than 20 other states. When a club has a waiting list for getting in, it is hard to characterize it as irrelevant. States want to join BRICS not because it will transform them overnight into powerful players, but because they see it as a serious attempt to fill a vacuum in the U.S.-led global order; an order that currently falls well short of meeting their needs. They are also hedging to prepare for a future world order in which unipolarity has diminished much more or disappeared altogether."
I just started and learning to navigate both Iris and Snort. I figured I would just bring over and share content that I was either sharing or consuming elsewhere in order to help add non BTC related content. It takes a little extra work to get started on NOSTR, but not that much. People generally only want convenience and comfort.
Thanks for helping convince me to get on nostr. Trying to get it all figured out. Keep up the great work.
