The first things you talk about have nothing to do with the second things you talk about, but I can see how they can be lumped together. The truth is the medical sector in Australia is always under intense scrutiny, and rightly so. Curren

Speaking as someone who started their medical career as these came to the masses (student 2010-2013, internship 2014) this absolutely reflects my experience on the coalface experiencing double digit increases in teenage suicidal ideation an

Even a cursory exploration into the physiology of atp would demonstrate the ineffectiveness of this method - the heart consumes around 6kg of ATP daily, or 250g an hour, which means you’d need to provide it with more than 4g a minute just t

I’m a doctor and familiar with the mechanism of both ozempic, to the extent it is known, and fat metabolism generally. I can’t see any connection between ozempic and myelin damage except you now know fat metabolism is involved. Is there som

I had had 15-20 ‘normal’ trips and then one (probs around 250mcg, but during Covid when I was totally spent and my ‘intention’ was to let go and wash away the stresses) where I was just ‘not there’. I had some pretty intense/scary visu

I use it extensively for coding, and I have used it to ask questions in things I know nothing about. But in anything I do know something (or maybe a lot) about, I’ve found GPT4 very limited. But why are these use cases different? It appears

I find myself shocked that people ask questions of the world from these models, as though pulping every text and its component words relationships and deriving statistical relationships between them should reliably deliver useful informatio

Apologies and it’s slightly lazy of me to ask, but I was under the impression that a Token was basically 4 bytes/characters of text. This seems to be implying that there’s some differentiation between a token and conjunctions/oth

this is incorrect on a number of levels. there are well established criteria under which we will remove a gallbladder and a number of times where stones are found and we won't. If someone has an episode of Cholecystitis then the eviden

I don't think any surgeon in the industrialised world is removing an appendix or gallbladder today because they think it's useless, they're removing them because they're trying to kill the patient

I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Firstly, no argument on NSAIDs, their effect on gastric mucosa is well known. Paracetamol as a COX inhibitor has to have some effect here but certainly not as significant as the NSAIDs. Secondly, a

Do you have any evidence for your claims? I ask because I just don't see what you are claiming in any of the conversations around the hospital, or indeed in the patient population that I am exposed to, many of whom have decades long ex

I’ve actually used a mates replit chained gpt-4 app to build short single function apps from a single command that function on first run, so it’s definitely possible, and will only get better - but building code is just following a logical
