natali_gray··on Flock Wants a Closely Surveilled World with No Exit
I just watched this week how John Oliver went over how the cops are using it to look children's playgrounds and hotel pools. And in the same week, I also watched how some protester showed up to talk in favor of Flock, dressed in a Darth Vadar costume. Honestly, all of this "we're just doing this for your own good" stuff sounds like a explicit loophole to not get a warrant. Fourth Amendment be damned I guess???

This is cool, but does it have a "Panic Button" that wipes your phone and buys you a plane ticket

Amazing design. Very interactive!!
natali_gray··on Ontario auditors find doctors' AI note takers routinely blow basic facts
Yeah, I could see AI being used for intake. That's a good point. And then the doctor can get some baseline info that they can use when they talk to the patient. Maybe even some really beautiful data, showing visually to the doctors all the different symptoms they reported.

Ooof. As a Canadian, I'm excited for AI opening up time for doctors (and hopefully lighting a load on the healthcare system), but this is scary. We're not there yet. Perhaps AI training for doctors is in the future? They already have online doctor visits on a healthcare-owned iPad in some condo complexes. It cuts around redtape of having to schedule an appointment with your GP. So, I think we're thinking in the right direction of innovating, but of course, this will take time. I feel like AI got launched too early sometimes.
natali_gray··on Show HN: Polar Balance – a bipolar mood tracker I built for my wife
100%! It's also super-relevant for bipolar disorder, where the amount of sleep you get can be an indicator of moving into a depressive/maniac phase. I'm also working on showing the data more beautifully, so it all pans out and shows a full picture.
