It's a lot more involved than CPAP. You need to have a low enough BMI to qualify which excludes a not insignificant proportion of apnea patients. You need to have predominately obstructive sleep apnea since the device can't treat

As someone who treats people with CPAP, it’s absurd how many people get them and then don’t use them hardly at all. Yes there’s an adaptation period where you need to get used to using it, but you do need to use it for it to do anything. It

This is what I tell patients. Eventually something happens to all of us, we just try to extend the time until that happens.

Sadly, unlike tech, the price of drugs doesn't always go down over time.

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is a form of Vitamin A which is used to treat one particular type of leukemia. This group tested it against some gastric cancer cells. Not sure why it's on the front page of HN.

Given the resources consumed by sickle cell patients, who often require multiple lengthy hospitalizations I bet it would be close to breakeven even at this price

As a physician probably my single most feared infection is a MRSA (or any Staph.) bloodstream infection. It’s a sticky bacterium that likes to destroy heart valves and joints. I’m personally a bit of a medical nihilist but antibiotics often

No way. About five years ago there was a quack-y study about reducing death in sepsis which called for high-dose vitamin C, thiamine and steroids. None of these are patent protected. The first study purported to show a 100% reduction in mor

So does each type of item have its own designated spot on the shelf or is it figuring out the item identity based on weight?

Compared with what OpenAI and Microsoft have done over the past few days, it's hard to get excited about vague press releases.

Didn't realize this was from 2012, but yes this is definitely what I was thinking of.

Yes! I remember the "Obama stepping on the scale" example that was used in that article. Would love to know how GPT-4 performs on that test.

Only the most extreme pendant would argue that "searching for food" is an inappropriate simplification of "foraging." ChatGPT also simplifies the term of art "lithic assemblage" which, devoid of context, I don&

I noticed there seemed to be unnecessary use of jargon in the abstract. I asked ChatGPT to rewrite it in plain English and I think it did a pretty good job: The sharp-edged stone flakes and flaked pieces that our ancestors intentionally mad

Why would you tell your chat bot what its secret code name is?

by _qua 4y ago
If they didn’t want it to disclose its code name, why would they tell it its codename? I don’t think there’s any way that prompt is accurately reflecting what is going on under the hood.

Am I misreading the article or does it show that this accounts for 50% of the dns traffic the root servers see? I don’t think that’s minor.

How do you think auscultation tells you the “type of lung infection”? Really the only thing A stethoscope is better at then x-ray and ultrasound for the lung exam is detection of wheezing. It is rare that auscultation actually changes my pl
