Pandas! I’m in Seattle! If any nerds want to catch up before Worldcon let me know :)

Got diverted to a state I hadn’t been planning on while trying to make it to Chicago: great news I can legally pee in NM wasn’t sure 😝 ugh I hate our new future.

From bar napkin to production: @holdenkarau.com built AI to help appeal health insurance denials. Real ML deployment talk - privacy, middleware, & questionable frontend code!

I'll be in Seattle for worldcon! Together with @holdenkarau.com Always game for raising money for trans folk! And I'd love to get my edition of Silk Threads signed by you, that i bought from Laura Antoniou at worldcon 2019 ❤️

Check out the @fighthinsurance team with our puppets being silly downtown while talking about the serious matter of insurance denials — www.instagram.com/reel/DJUY96h...

Really excited for @holdenkarau.com 's fighthealthinsurance.com as someone who's done my fair share of fighting health insurance. This is seriously one of the better applications of LLMs

Come and join me this morning talking about @fightpaperwork.bsky.social & Fight Health Insurance -- youtube.com/live/ZtSVVF0... :D

Stoked to see our work at @fightpaperwork.bsky.social covered in A.I. Wars: How healthcare uses artificial intelligence against you youtu.be/J-WEh1A-IXU?...

🌊 We’re launching Fight Paperwork (AI appeal-writing for providers who are done getting steamrolled by insurers) After helping folks generate 3,000+ appeals through Fight Health Insurance professionals asked: "Can I use this?" And now they can use fightpaperwork.com to get paid for their work :D

Getting ready for the pro-launch: "Can you pull the farts out of that log statement?" "That says fast, but I understand why you think it would say farts." #businesslife #fighthealthinsurance fightpaperwork.bsky.social @fhinsurance.bsky.social :D

Anyone have contacts at Google AdWords for some credits? Google analytics keeps trying to upsell me with fake credits enough that I want to try but like… not without some credits. #cheapstartuplife

Hello! I'm Els and I have several websites that really need a proper (wordpress?) backend, but I have no time to set it up. I'm a queer data nerd, who also teaches about kink and polyamory, so you should be comfy with that kind of content. I prefer to hire a fellow queer, and this is a paid job.

There's something magical about the first users you have not talked to yet using your product :D If you're a healthcare professional and want to get on the wait list to use AI to fight health insurance denials (and soon prior auths and more) you can get on the waitlist at www.fightpaperwork.com :D

Anyone have experience with getting cypress to work with self signed SSL certs?

At Fight Health Insurance, we’re on a mission to empower professionals and patients to fight back against unfair insurance denials. As we prepare to launch our professional version, Fight Paperwork, we'd love your input on this survey: us20.list-manage.com/survey?u=d98...

Would folks be interested in a book entitled "How to do corporate taxes and other things I don't want to do -- a definitely not legal guide for startup founders" ? :p (and or do you know of one?)

I had a dream where I woke up in a country with affordable medical coverage. Then I actually woke up and got back to work on FHI :p Also check out our new logo :)

Tomorrow (Thursday) at 1PM EST we are doing our new FOIA Forum, where we will teach you live how to pry records from the federal government (also via state). Subscribe now to get the livestream link, I will email it tomorrow morning (also archived for later viewing) www.404media.co/our-new-foia...

I wonder how the executive action by the cheeto impacts NEXUS cards. Jointly issued by Canada & US which may soon have different views on my gender.

After an amazing 3.5 years at Netflix it’s time for me to move on. Starting ~late next week I’ll be working full time on Fight Health Insurance ( www.fighthealthinsurance.com ) 😊 It’s exciting and scary to take a leap like this, and if you know folks we should be talking to get in touch :)

Listening to pink pony club on @SFBART on my way to talk to VCs for Fight Health Insurance :) (not pictured: my coffee.)

Came out of morning exercise this morning to the scene of a crash at 26th and Valencia :(

Utterly brilliant. Women in #STEM doing the realest shit. @holdenkarau.com

BTW, check out the “An Arm & A Leg” show interview with @holdenkarau.com and how they used public records to enable its large language AI model to work. shows.acast.com/7c237614-aac...

Dinner… took a turn. Bean cookie!

“Do we have a pay phone?” “No.” “Do you want one?” “No I just couldn’t remember if we did.” youtu.be/Cipc8EowshY?...

Anyone combined cantenas and the framework laptop? I’m at @theautocamp which I love but the WiFi is so so and I think a directional antenna would make life better…

What’s everyone’s favorite hoodies for fancy-ish meetings?

If you, or a friend or family member have been denied health insurance claims check out this free AI tool to help you appeal the decision - www.fighthealthinsurance.com

I'm super stoked to see the fantastic @businessinsider.com article by Ana Altchek on Fight Health Insurance and the work we're doing to level the AI playing field :D -- www.businessinsider.com/free-health-...

When her health insurance denied her back surgery, my neighbor used this free AI tool to write the letter that got them to pay for it. Digging into the vault for this Here & Now conversation with the tool's creator @holdenkarau.com about how it works www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

Debating if I should do a AMA ( www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldK... ) after we went viral-ish on reddit ( www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldK... )

Not all heroes wear capes…..some have pink hair & spitfire personality! This incredible human is choosing to help all of us fight back against evil insurance companies who, continuously allow us to suffer & die, just so they can keep profiting off us. www.fighthealthinsurance.com

Nothing like going viral while on a date and checking on the server stats wearing a sparkly red dress & motorcycle jacket :) — www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldK...

Jazzercise with Mr Pickles

I’ve got a Taco Bell nacho cheese fries subscription!!! For 30 days.

Playing with dyes :)

Oh noes the flag fell down.

What are the most common places you've seen people try to use Apache Spark that they really should not have?

Hugs to those who need it especially today (and space to those who need it too ❤️)

for TDoR, a small reminder to treat the trans people in your life with kindness today; most of us have seen friends die whether through suicide, social murder, or plain old murder and it’s all weighing pretty heavily on us right now

I got recognized at Costco last night and they asked me if I was on my motorbike again. Costco is one of my happy places.

I know some folks here use #Spark and others who use #HPC techniques like RDMA. And there was a paper from 8 years ago talking about Spark + RDMA. Is there anybody here who uses RDMA or other high-performance data transfer mechanism to speed up Spark? #bigdata @holdenkarau.com

Guess who’s got a bunch of fax modems on the way there house? #business #fighthealthinsurance

Good morning from Professor Timbit

Just did a little TikTok on the newest feature on www.fighthealthinsurance.com — faxes. We used our Time Machine to travel to the 90s and pick up a fax modem so you don’t have too — www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8LhqcPp/
