M.e.a.t. coding guidelines6/1/2023 ![]() A patients RAF score is heavily weighted on HCC’s. ![]() A multitude of factors determine the amount of risk and work involved to maintain the health of a patient. The risk assessment data used is based off claims and medical records collected from doctors’ offices, in-patient hospital visits and outpatient clinics. Within this payment model, patients in the same practice could have a different payment rate. This score measures how costly a patient is predicted to be for the current year. Risk Adjustment Factor or RAF uses a patient’s demographics and diagnosis to determine that patients risk score. To better understand HCC coding, lets first break down Risk Adjustment Factor. As healthcare shifts towards more value-based payment models HCC coding is becoming more prevalent of a topic. ![]() It was only implemented in 2004 and was designed to identify patients with serious or chronic illness and assign a risk factor score to the person based upon a combination of a patient’s health conditions and demographic details. Risk Adjustment and Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) coding is a payment model mandated by CMS in 1997, originally created to estimate future costs for a patient. Risk adjustment and HCC coding is a major contributor to communicating the true complexity of a patient cohort. Cost/utilization is greatly impacted by a patient’s annual complexity account, but providers are only paid when the payers understand their patient’s true complexity. An additional component of payment is based on the complexity of the patient population for which each provider provides healthcare services. Value-based healthcare is a healthcare delivery model where healthcare providers are paid based on patient health outcomes instead of based on the volume of patients seen and services delivered.

Marlon pather6/1/2023 ![]() Pather says the current deal will be his last – at least for some time. Pather will have enough cash flow to keep buying more product is if he keeps making more deals to replenish his coffers.Ĭountering that, Mr. Pather to concoct one big Ponzi scheme, speculating that the only way Mr. The rush has some bloggers worried that the promotions will force Mr. The Butchers' promotions are all valid for one year, but customers have been storming the shop. But he says customers could also help by taking their time with the vouchers. ![]() Pather negotiated a quicker payment plan in his last two deals. Pather, who needs cash flow to order big quantities of meat. A portion of the proceeds is transferred seven days after the deal ends, a bit more 30 days out, and the remainder after 60 days. Typically, bigger partners like Groupon and Dealfind pay their merchants according to a fixed schedule. It's the payment schedules from the deal sites that have been the biggest problem to date. Pather says, but he's made it work – at least for the time being. "At first, my suppliers were a bit nervous," Mr. It also puts enormous pressure on his suppliers, raising the question of whether they can keep up with his demand. Pather $1.4-million in the hole right off the bat. Still, $120 of free meat for 11,500 people in just one promotion alone puts Mr. Behemoth Groupon is known for its 50/50 cut – 50 per cent of proceeds go to the merchant, the remaining 50 per cent go to Groupon.) With such a robust database now at his fingertips, he could do a deal on his own in the future and keep all of the proceeds rather than paying a daily deal site for their mailing list and advertising reach. Pather says, noting that the same applies to all home deliveries. "What people don't realize is every customer that's come into my store, they write their e-mail address," Mr. If a customer wants tandoori chicken breasts or pistachio-curried marinades, they have to pay cash. Plus, the promotion is applicable only to fresh meat and some frozen foods. Pather says, 1,000 customers who each spend $100 extra puts $100,000 in his pocket. Earlier this week, a customer who bought one of the first vouchers was down to the last few dollars on it and ended up spending $120 extra. "If I have 10,000 vouchers, and everybody spent $1 more … I have $10,000."Īnd that estimate is low, he says. Instead, he explains to customers that this isn't a hoax, it's a loss leader, and that all he needs to do is find people who buy a little bit more than what the promotion is worth. "I don't make money on this deal," he says while taking a quick break from serving behind the counter. Pather has seen the criticism, and he has no qualms addressing it. Pather a flight risk? Is the meat really organic? They wonder: Could this be a Ponzi scheme? Is Mr. Foodie blogs across the city have questioned whether the promotion is too good to be true. Earlier this week a more lucrative promotion priced at $99 for $400 worth of organic meat went up for sale, and now another at the same price is available until Saturday night. The Butchers sold around 11,500 of those coupons, raking in $632,500 in three days, a sales total that has been eclipsed only by deals for The Gap and Amazon that were sold nationwide south of the border.īut with success comes skepticism. For $55, customers could cash in on $175 worth of organic meat. ![]() Ultimately he partnered with Dealfind and set a North American record for the largest promotion by an independent store in a single city. Satisfied with the results, he did a second deal, then another.

Words of wonder noida6/1/2023 ![]() Large language models like ChatGPT are already being used to power humanoid robots, such as the Ameca robots being developed by Engineered Arts in the U.K. That possibility is just around the corner. And these robots, mind you, are difficult to confuse with humans: They neither look nor talk like people.Ĭonsider how much greater the tendency and temptation to anthropomorphise is going to get with the introduction of systems that do look and sound human. In Japan, where robots are regularly used for elder care, seniors become attached to the machines, sometimes viewing them as their own children. We name our boats and big storms some of us talk to our pets, telling ourselves that our emotional lives mimic their own. People, after all, are predisposed to anthropomorphise, or ascribe human qualities to nonhumans. ![]() More people could start thinking about bots as friends or even romantic partners, much in the same way Theodore Twombly fell in love with Samantha, the AI virtual assistant in Spike Jonze's film 'Her'. It is easy to imagine other Bing users asking Sydney for guidance on important life decisions and maybe even developing emotional attachments to it. The real issue, in other words, is the ease with which people anthropomorphize or project human features onto our technologies, rather than the machines' actual personhood. To me, the pressing question is not whether machines are sentient but why it is so easy for us to imagine that they are. For now, philosophers can't even agree about how to explain human consciousness. However, I believe that the question of machine sentience is a red herring.Įven if chatbots become more than fancy autocomplete machines - and they are far from it - it will take scientists a while to figure out if they have become conscious. The new chatbots may well pass the Turing test, named for the British mathematician Alan Turing, who once suggested that a machine might be said to "think" if a human could not tell its responses from those of another human.īut that is not evidence of sentience it's just evidence that the Turing test isn't as useful as once assumed. Sydney's responses reflect the toxicity of its training data - essentially large swaths of the internet - not evidence of the first stirrings, a la Frankenstein, of a digital monster. Though Roose was shaken by his exchange with Sydney, he knew that the conversation was not the result of an emerging synthetic mind. Their uncanny responses are a function of how predictable humans are if one has enough data about the ways in which we communicate. ![]() ChatGPT and similar technologies are sophisticated sentence completion applications - nothing more, nothing less. Popular culture has primed people to think about dystopias in which artificial intelligence discards the shackles of human control and takes on a life of its own, as cyborgs powered by artificial intelligence did in "Terminator 2."Įntrepreneur Elon Musk and physicist Stephen Hawking, who died in 2018, have further stoked these anxieties by describing the rise of artificial general intelligence as one of the greatest threats to the future of humanity.īut these worries are - at least as far as large language models are concerned - groundless. It's easy to understand where fears about machine sentience come from. Chatbots like ChatGPT raise important new questions about how artificial intelligence will shape our lives, and about how our psychological vulnerabilities shape our interactions with emerging technologies.

Porsche is proposing a dividend of 916 million euros following the company’s partial listing in September, equating to 1 euro per ordinary share and 1.01 euro per preferred share.This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. Blume acknowledged the delay and said "we are now just concluding the development of the software." The move follows protracted problems at VW Group’s Cariad software unit that have delayed several important models, including Porsche's electric Macan. Blume said Khan's arrive "would give a lift" when it came to the brand's software competence. Porsche is also planning to set up a new Car-IT department, headed by former Daimler digital chief Sajjad Khan. In addition to a new high-performance battery, the Mission R also had a 920-volt electrical system designed to reduce charging times. The crossover, code-named the K1, will be built in Leipzig starting from the middle of the decade, will incorporate technology seen on the Mission R concept presented in 2021 at the IAA auto show in Munich. Porsche confirmed plans last July to launch a range-topping, full-electric flagship crossover that Blume described at the time as "a very sporty interpretation of an SUV." The comments align with other automaker such as BMW counting on pent-up demand, with luxury car buyers less affected by record inflation and the threat of recession. Porsche is Europe’s most valuable automaker after last year’s blockbuster initial public offering.Ĭhief Financial Officer Lutz Meschke said during the press conference that Porsche's order book was "full to bursting," which is helping it offset some of the pressure from ongoing supply-chain troubles. The key profit contributor to VW Group expects revenue to rise this year to as much as 42 billion euros ($45.1 billion). Porsche said Monday it's goal is to regularly achieve an margin of 20 percent or more, without stating a specific year. The brand’s operating margin is set to reach between 17 percent and 19 percent this year, compared with 18 percent last year. Porsche expects returns to remain roughly around last year’s record level on the back of attractive models and high prices, provided an already challenging economic backdrop does not get much worse. While a record, the result slightly missed expectations. It had an operating profit of 6.8 billion euros ($7.26 billion). ![]() ![]() The company's 2022 operating return during rose to 18 percent from 16 percent in 2021. Porsche on Monday reported record earnings and revenue in 2022 as it boosted car deliveries and tightened costs.

The new SUV, which will use parent Volkswagen Group's SSP Sport platform, will strengthen Porsche's position in the luxury segment, Blume added. The SUV will be a "new vehicle concept" for the brand that offers high performance, automated driving functions and the typical Porsche flyline, CEO Oliver Blume said during a press conference on Monday. Porsche offered glimpses of its future full-electric models - including a flagship electric SUV positioned above the Cayenne - as part of its goal of delivering more than 80 percent of its new vehicles as full-electric models in 2030.

Phasmophobia nightmare mode6/1/2023 ![]() So you get some measure of progression like “ok the ghost is pissed now let’s give it some space” instead of blowing out a candle and then it just strangles someone straight to death in front of a crowd of horrified onlookers. (I’d really like to see slamming doors be implemented, that would scare the pants off me tbh) Like minor sounds and door creaking, progressing to louder speech and moving/displacing furniture and slamming doors. I feel like the ghosts should have more and more invasive haunt events before they hunt. Often times on nightmare it just hunts with little warning, and while making the game harder, it doesn’t really make it very “haunted” if you know what I’m saying. My one comment would be that I want to see more ghost events happen. Since then we’ve adapted a strategy and I actually quite enjoy nightmare mode. We did the typical “are you horny” thing on the Ouija board and it flipped the plectrum and hunted. I just really really really really dislike the difficulty changes for this patch because I have been wanting a challenge in this game because it's been so much fun for so long.but instead all I got was artificial RNG difficulty BuT yOu dIe MoRe sO iTs HaRdEr crap.įirst game we played on nightmare we basically just ran in like it was amateur and asked the ghost a lot of uncouth things. If it's not that then it's just outright bad design that homogenizes a lot of the ghosts (especially the older ones) and causes confusion for the sake of it, and has no good counter play. Twins, right? Easy? Nah, Shade.Ī lot of people I have seen with complaints similar to mine get shot down and told that this is a "skill" issue with objectively one of the easiest games I've ever played, and even if this was true with me and my friends all being level 1000+ with hundreds of hours in the game, then it's still RNG and that's frustrating and not fun. Just last night we got EMF 5 in two locations simultaneously, by the blue tent and all the way on the other side on the ground in front of the yellow tent behind it, and it never hunted anyone who was alone in the campsite. I've never disliked anything but the difficulty changes. ![]() ![]() It just makes the whole thing feel pointless and not difficult but annoying and frustrating. |
