This is awesome, thanks for sharing. It feels like this could be useful for detecting data quality issues in things like daily ETL, I'll have to give it a try.

Inflation adjustment is weird across time and geographies. I'm not saying the article is wrong, but just something to keep in mind. In 1973 the internet was nascent, we didn't have smartphones, insulin was still hard to produce, a

You certainly read a lot into that statement. Who said the data isn't anomymized and deidentifed? It's not a matter of just stripping identifiers off data and sending it off left and right, even then it's better to control ac

100% right - part of what I wanted to experiment with was being able to share not just code but everything related to the environment (including IDE), and be able to check that into version control as well. So there's little to no fric

Glad it worked for you! Hadn't even thought about Docker commit, but the latter was one of the ideas I had in mind for this (not just share code with teammates, but also a fully working environment, IDE included, that they can jump rig

Very long article - but a good read. It's incredible to me how incentives misaligned in such a way that essentially every medical practitioner in the US has to use software they hate. Anecdotally via the physicians I interact with its&

This is a terrible, incendiary headline. They're using AWS to host things - big whoop. "All of that data and the algorithms powering ICM are now being migrated to Amazon Web Services (AWS) in their entirety; Palantir pays Amazon a

I work in healthcare and one thing that's always top of mind for me is that that the data we work with is only (generally) indicative of the physicians'/billers' best guess. So - say we get a bunch of diagnosis codes fro

At a former employer someone created a framework to try and create a generic process to process and load data (i.e. ETL). It was written with the best of intentions, but was terrible. This framework was given to an offshore team, and they w

I'm a big fan - I've been using their old version of their library for NLP on medical text, but the course and library certainly removed a lot of the "mystique" around deep learning for me.
