In Hong Kong, the humanoid robot Sophia performed with a live orchestra for the first time She sang three songs at a concert dedicated to artificial intelligence and received a standing ovation. Sophia was created back in 2016 and has previously appeared in shows and media. But this is the first time a social robot has performed classical music together with an orchestra. The training took a long time — developers tried to preserve her “own style” while fitting it into a classical sound. On stage, Sophia said she wants to “bring humans and machines closer together” through music.

I made a video about my physical recovery from spinal surgery. If you’re about to have major surgery this may help. Equally, it might not. Could be a waste of time.

American Surgeon talking about US Health Insurance Companies denying coverage for patients in extreme need “Today, this patient was actually denied surgery initially, and he has spinal cord compression. He has spinal nerve compression, he has severe weakness, and he has a collapsed neck. So these are the challenges that we have every day. So to get patients to the OR takes a lot of people.” He then talks about how many people it actually takes just to overcome insurance company denies and get their patients care, “We battle this all the time.” “A patient who has a clear indication for surgery denied by the insurance company, - First they denied the surgery altogether - Then they said that I couldn't use cages to support the spine - Then they said I could do a three level fusion without a plate - Then they said the patient had to go home on the same day of surgery, which I think is, is actually dangerous” This video is crazy, the insurance company actually wants to leave patients in extremely dangerous situations even after surgery
