I swear if I get another Word document with nothing more than a screenshot pasted inside I’m going to run off a cliff. Everyday at work. Microsoft must love this.

Too many families in America, sadly.
- Comment on Character.ai Faces Lawsuit After Teen’s Suicide 4 weeks ago:
The mother was on CBS this morning and while the story is sad my wife and I looked at each other with the same question when the mom stated the teen shot himself. Gayle King would have been terrible to start questioning the mother on the gun question but you kind of wish she would have.
- Comment on Character.ai Faces Lawsuit After Teen’s Suicide 4 weeks ago:
Earlier this year, after he started getting in trouble at school, his parents arranged for him to see a therapist. He went to five sessions and was given a new diagnosis of anxiety and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
Sounds like he received some therapy, but this can be an expensive and difficult to access form of healthcare for many.
- Comment on Character.ai Faces Lawsuit After Teen’s Suicide 4 weeks ago:
He put down his phone, picked up his stepfather’s .45 caliber handgun and pulled the trigger.
A tragic story for sure, but there are questions about the teen’s access to the gun he used to kill himself.

Out of curiosity, what is your painting setup/process? Nice work!

Good point
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 1 month ago:
My new Hyundai did this, sorta, and it also had to be recalled. Shifting into reverse would immediately display the rear view camera (good) but then about 25% of the time it would flash a dialogue box on top of the display with instructions on how to operate the display (bad). You could select “Dismiss” or “Don’t Show This Again”. Selecting “Don’t show This Again” did nothing (worse).
Elon sucks and I would never buy a Tesla but just adding this as a reference point that software in cars generally sucks.

He’s a great developer but he needs to find a way not to be so reliant on giant tech companies to make his apps viable.

- Comment on Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines 3 months ago:
I’m Bridges certified as well as in Cloverleaf, which we also use. FHIR is great but it doesn’t require much in the way of integration engineers.
- Comment on Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines 3 months ago:
I’m an integration guy at my roots but I lead a variety of different teams at the moment. We use Corepoint as one of our interface engines and it shat the bed big time. We had to restore it from backup, which was nuts in my opinion. We had a variety of apps impacted.
- Comment on Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines 3 months ago:
This is pretty much correct. I work in an Epic shop and we had about 150 servers to remediate and some number of workstations (I’m not sure how many). While Epic make not have been impacted, it is a highly integrated system and when things are failing around it then it can have an impact on care delivery. For example if a provider places a stat lab order in Epic, that lab order gets transmitted to an integration middleware which then routes it to the lab system. If the integration middleware or the lab system are down, then the provider has no idea the stat order went into a black hole.

I hope you guys run a lessons learned after it all. Go ahead and roll your eyes, but reflecting on prior performance can have a huge impact for the future. It shouldn’t all come down to you in the end, and that’s okay.
- Comment on Just finished season 2 of Star Trek: Prodigy--it is absolutely criminal that Paramount (or CBS or whoever) cancelled it 4 months ago:
The plot is surprisingly complex for what is cast as a “kids show” or “Trek for newbs”. Don’t watch it unless you have seen at least some of the Voyager series. The plot from S1 ties right into S2. I had a moment in S2E6 (or thereabouts) where my emotions got trigger when Janeway makes a tough choice.
The show works.

Halfway through and I’m enjoying it immensely. I’m in my middle age years so don’t tell me this show is for kids. Trek fans shouldn’t miss this series.
