Reply to Which medical specialties are future proof? by MeronDC

AI guy here.

While it's always important to create a human connection, current technology is getting good at imitating exactly that through conversational systems.

My bet would be on surgery, emergency medicine, and any field that does not readily spew out data for models to be trained and validated; ML is particularly good at unbiased big-picture assessments if the relevant data is available for training and then for diagnosis (and it is not, currently).

I don't think this should be your only concern -- specialities, I hear, differ in lifestyle, and ultimately I think you've got to be interested in your patients and the subject matter.

Reply to Likely-hood of becoming an astronaut by MisFitLoves

Actually, I know a woman who ended up as an astronaut with NASA. A pilot, and a PhD in, I think, marine biology. Is it likely? Not really. Is it possible? Absolutely!

OP would need to look hard at the options for her as a UK citizen. Remaining a resident there, there may be no pathway to the space agencies of the US, the EU or Russia. Private companies should hire too (and I bet they pay better!). Either way, I’d pursue a lucrative and rewarding career before getting myself hired for an astronaut role!

Reply to comment by PaulieatesomeWalnuts in Would being late on rent on my second last month of my lease affect my renewal? by scumbagge

small-time landlord here. While I'm happy to overlook small mistakes and short delays, it's pretty easy to see through bullshit like that. People with budget problems make up such excuses. This might work once, but not twice.

A few days late is not really that big of a deal with a big corporate landlord, usually. It's down to their policy. Everyone likes tenants that don't cause problems and pay their rent reliably. OP is still appreciated as a customer if she pays rent four days late once...

Phone calls waiting 45 mins in line, in person appointments at an inconvenient time, and 9 months. And some $500. It took months just to get a stamp in my passport and then showing up at 7am to plead my case so I could travel. Friendly staff, but this is the most underfunded govt agency.

Thanks. I wish the person who found my wallet in Midtown had turned it in. Instead, I got to watch it travel on the MTA to 23-22 31st Ave, Queens, where it was used to purchase $100 in OnlyFans credit (rejected - glad Visa's model thinks I wouldn't do that). I had, and continue to have, grief because I stupidly lost my green card with the wallet. OP, you're doing a good thing.
