  • I don’t know this for sure, but I think it’s something along the lines of certain record companies can pay to have their artists played more often than others so when you start a playlist on shuffle it’s biased toward those higher “tier” songs. I think caches also plays into it to a degree, but it’s definitely not just an issue with a lack of randomness. I think they do the same thing with the “AI DJ” which will play completely irrelevant songs to your tastes in a small group and then go back to normal at intervals. “Hey this is your DJ X, you just heard Kat Stevens so now I’m gonna play Kendrick Lamar (which you’ve never once played willingly) and I’ll be following that with a few other things that are currently being promoted”
















  • Your chart is stored on windows computers. The drug dispensing systems run on windows computers. Imaging (xray, ultrasound, CT, MRI) runs on windows machines. If a hospital used crowd strike, all of those go down. Source: i work at a major trauma center that was affected and took several hours to respond. OR, ER and ICU were completely frozen for several hours before they could pivot to paper charting. There aren’t paper backups of every chart so orders that weren’t already under way were also almost always delayed pending a verbal order from the physician.
