Agree. I can speak for oncology where the desire is always curative intent treatments. Unfortunately it’s often not possible so we settle for palliative therapy (presumably what GP meant by recurring). Personally/professionally I think

I don’t understand your overall point here as this is pretty much how the current system works. > It is possible to take those probabilities and to talk about the expected number needed to treat (NNT) for a medication, the expected side

I didn't know these existed. I was looking at them and they seem sold out for the next week. Why would one normally take this route (13 hours and $178 while a flight is 2 hours and $213), scenery?

I should have been clearer, sex is generally binary there are obviously rare exceptions like chromosomal abnormalities. Who's making these arguments? A quick Google scholar was not fruitful, do you have any sources or is this a fring

Ding ding ding. The research articles being cited both explicitly state "sex" and make no disclaimer. The statement reads as having been added after the fact due to potential ambiguity by not explicitly stating (gender|sex) once a

Is anyone seriously debating that sex isn't binary? Gender being different from sex is not a new concept, from the 2001 IOM report (predating the "gender wars"): The committee defines sex as the classification of living thin

To be clear this isn't a research paper, it is a PR news summary designed to be accessible.

It's not necessarily obvious that the usage refers to sex, gender issues are fair game for nature as well. This also isn't a publication in nature, it's a PR/news release designed to be accessible. The statement you are

There are some other useful ones in there. Hugging Face jumps out. W&B. I haven't used Mosaic but I could see myself for bigger projects, I know of at least two PIs @ Stanford using them.

Complicated question, the answer is “it depends”. Several factors influence performance beyond parameter count, notable ones include: training corpus quality, training flops, and the downstream task. It depends on how much compute you are s

Excuse me? For the benefit of corporations? Polio used to be a thing in the western world, measles is coming back. Mandatory childhood vaccines are for the benefit of children and society. You’re also misrepresenting the NCVIA, the net resu

That's incorrect. If you mean diagnosing the type of cancer (e.g. clear cell renal cell carcinoma) we've already been using molecular markers for over a decade now. Since you mention "describing the look": mitotic rate a

> maybe eastern Ontario What do you mean by "maybe"? Eastern Ontario contains the 4th largest metropolitan area in Canada (Ottawa) which is a very reasonable comparator, the density is 195/km.

Still a bit too general. Southwestern Ontario (Windsor/London) is very culturally and demographically different from Toronto/Golden Horseshoe and Eastern Ontario (Ottawa/Kingston) Michigan is also culturally different from Ne

Perhaps you’re unaware but not every systematic review is or can be a meta-analysis. Meta-analyses can and are also included in systematic reviews released by ASCO. The criteria for a rapid update is listed in the comment you replied to, I

Apologies, I misunderstood your point. I thought you were criticizing that I can't read every ECG pattern in ACLS (what I assumed you meant by critical).

I can't speak to parent's practice but the cancer centers I've worked at follow the NCCN guidelines (apart from patients enrolled in trials, although this is also a NCCN recommendation) and many cases are reviewed in multi-di

For what part, cutting-edge treatments? Sure. But oncology is a very big field… For example, the majority diagnostic testing guidelines are based on meta-analyses. FYI since you asked to pick one, let's take a look at NCCN. Not sure wh

I don't know what part of oncology you're in but meta-analyses are still very much important.

> accepting the results of a meta-analysis in a field where the typical research quality is low. I can only speak to medicine (which is filled with low quality research) but this is a non-issue in my field. Who ignores quality in a SR?

I'm not sure what you practice but that's far too dismissive. I passed med school just fine and maintain my ACLS certification as required. Am I calling an AV block or even a STEMI in real life? Absolutely not. I maintain enough c
