This medical startup uses LLMs to run appointments and make diagnoses “Our focus is really on what we can do to pull the doctor out of the visit,” says Akido’s CTO.

AI will help this startup speed up medical diagnoses and treatment plans, and improve the patient experience, by actually reducing access to trained medical personnel and increasing the number of patients per doctor four- to five-fold. Is there any limit to naïve techno-enthusiasm, I wonder?

decades-long manhunt finally ends

Canadian voters or people following the Canadian election, is there any good blog/website to consult pools and projections for the upcoming election? I remember using tooclosetocall.ca in previous elections, but it is not updated anymore.

A person in a boardroom points to a chart showing a steep decline, and says, “It was at this point, gentleman, that the President decided it was his plan all along to reverse course.”

Five crazy Trump tariffs you wouldn’t believe Saint Pierre and Miquelon earns a dubious honour

The White House said Russia escaped tariffs because sanctions preclude "meaningful trade". But Russia actually sent $3bn of goods to America in 2024, more than many other states hit with duties. Its $2.5bn trade surplus would have meant a 40% tariff rate. www.economist.com/finance-and-...

Trump veux utiliser la force économique des États-Unis pour assouvir le Canada, mais il se place en opposition avec les forces économiques globales.

Un article fort intéressant pour comprendre le trumpisme.

President Trump’s mindless tariffs will cause economic havoc But the rest of the world can limit the damage

"As stockmarket futures tumbled, shares in Nike, which has factories in Vietnam (tariff: 46%) fell by 7%. Does Mr Trump really think Americans would be better off if only they sewed their own running shoes?"

Trump Says Recession Unfortunate But Necessary Step To Get To Depression WASHINGTON—Warning that Americans should brace themselves for an economic “period of transition,” President Donald Trump told reporters Monday that a recession would be an unfortunate but necessary st...

Trump Says Recession Unfortunate But Necessary Step To Get To Depression

Wow, the title says it all.

The New York Time is covering Dr. Joanne Liu's talk cancellation at NYU. @ryoa.bsky.social

Schooled by Trump, Americans are learning to dislike their allies Our polling shows that Americans’ and Europeans’ attitudes towards each other are changing quickly

Unsurprising (for lack of a better word) study on people's opinion about the friendliness of the US, Canada and Europe. What is perhaps surprising is how much supporters of hard-right parties in Europe became more favorable to the US since November 2024.

CTV Cancelled a Fact-Checking Segment in Response to Political Pressure From Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives Audio recording shows CTV cancelled an ‘election misinformation’ segment with journalist Rachel Gilmore after online backlash from conservatives

I lack some of the background to fully understand this story. But the firing of @rachelgilmore.bsky.social suggests CTV News is simply bowing to conservative push back. I am not sure how the the news outlet will fact-check this story if it fires all of its fact-checkers.

What a time to be an egg.

Bilan économique des années Trudeau | Une décennie perdue, vraiment ? Les années libérales sous Justin Trudeau ont mis fin au déclin historique de la classe moyenne au Canada. En revanche, le pays souffre d’une comparaison médiocre pour la croissance de son niveau de vi...

Le gouvernement Trudeau a augmenté le déficit, la taille du gouvernement et l’immigration, mais le pays a aussi connu un élargissement de sa classe moyenne, une réduction des inégalités, une augmentation du PIB par habitant, une baisse des émissions des GES et une augmentation de sa productivité.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Opinion | Hillary Clinton: This Is Just Dumb The Signal group chat is only the latest in a string of self-inflicted wounds by the new administration.

Focusing on the incompetence of the Trump administration is probably the best strategy.

Don’t be fooled by WhatsApp’s marketing fluff | Cybernews The president of Signal isn’t too happy with Will Cathcart’s recent statements suggesting there are hardly any differences between WhatsApp and Signal.

Meredith Whittaker, the president of Signal, replying to WhatsApp's head Will Cathcart:

“In some ways, we’re amused to see WhatsApp stretching the limits of reality to claim that they are just like Signal ... But the stakes of such marketing fluff are high, so we need to set the record straight.”

‘I don’t want it to die’: one man’s battle to save the last phone box in his village In 1935, Derek Harris was born – and so was the K6 red phone box. Now, Harris is spending his 90th year ensuring this beloved local facility isn’t lost

That was bound to happen sooner or later.
