> A Vermont pharmacy chain's AI implementation led to delays, incorrect information and privacy concerns.
- dqv 2mo agoYou can try, but then a different group of people might come around and say it's editorializing.
- ivewonyoung 2mo agoThat's 102 characters, HN's limit is 80.
- rationalist 2mo agoVermont pharmacy AI rollout leads to delays, misinformation and privacy concerns (Exactly 80 characters) Or with the Oxford Comma: Vermont pharmacy AI rollout brings delays, misinformation, and privacy concerns (79 characters)
- zxexz 2mo agoI think in this case - where an editorialized title is better representative of the article, but the published title is too long - it’s usually left to someone like you to give a suggestion, publicly, which is then seen by @dang or their kith, who can then actually make spot adjustments. I personally approve of your editorialization, but that’s worth naught but a canker in a hedge
- irishcoffee 2mo agoUpvote to you if you understand the obsolete rationale why it’s 80.

- timbit42 2mo agoWhy 80 characters? Are they storing them on punch cards?
- throwway120385 1mo agoMost of Dang's day is spent shuttling HN titles into the archives in a salt mine in Nevada in between moderation.
