Medically speaking, your understanding is bit off in that while there are several factors that affect the resulting strength of scar tissue, the underlying disorganization in scar tissue will always leave it biomechanically weaker than th

“Cure” with GBM is a very lofty goal but the first phase II oncolytic virus trial was actually quite promising! 2 year survival doesn’t sound like a lot but considering the study included non-mutated GBM (the worst kind) this prognosis is ~

You’re arguing over semantics and seem to be focusing on minor ailments which is obviously not the point I was making. Evaluating your health =/= reaching a diagnosis (or self-diagnosis). By all means, you should be conducting self-as

I assumed it was obvious like “only a fool has himself as a lawyer.” Would you do your own code review? It’s impossible to be objective regarding your own health. It’s an ethics violation and sanctionable for physicians to do so for themsel

As stated, being informed is encouraged. Self-diagnosis is not for anyone to do. I think another issue here is your expectations out of a medical visit may be unrealistic. Physicians aren’t supposed to arrive at the correct diagnosis from t

Agree but Intel has yet to show they can successfully make a high end GPU, and they're heavily invested in Arc at the moment. Given Intel 4 is launching at the end of the year I would expect their focus will be on catching up wth AMD o

Unlike search/random chatbots the bar to beat in medicine (UpToDate) is much higher, when that happens I agree (in terms of diagnosis and management).

Not sure how much inference on the edge will impact things unless you think we’ll hit “peak training” in the near future. I would safely wager that most H100 nodes will be used for training rather than inference.

Meta has their own chip they actually use? IIRC LLaMA was trained on A100s. Apple is non-viable for LLM workloads.

This has been my experience as well with TPUs and A100s. I haven’t used H100s yet (OOM on 1) but I believe the training throughout benchmarks from Nvidia on transformer workloads is 2.5x from A100s. The effort to make (PyTorch) code run on

Ah yes, the ultimate goal of the Iraq war was to liberate the Iraqi citizens from the evil Baathist regime stockpiling WMDs and totally not protecting American oil interests and destabilizing a competitor to our friends in the Gulf.

I’m not arguing summarization is not useful, or stripping the various sources of noise you listed. “Debullshitification” reads as de-biasing which is not what you just itemized. My point is rather that Fox News+LLM (as an example) is still
