That's interesting! Up to now, I've never seen automated surgical robots. They're just big swiss knives with stereo vision, usually. Are there automated robots on the market ?

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think places like Boston are where docs earn the most ?

Being a doc, I can confidently tell you you are totally incorrect as to why things happen the way they do in healthcare. That won't surprise you, I guess. I long tried to make outsiders, and especially tech people, understand what our

Perception is everything. If the pool 'feels fast', you'll feel like you're on your way to your best, which is a huge boost to your motivation. The converse is also true.

We misunderstood each other, because I'm all for engineering. What I'm saying is that it's mostly not doable right now, because of insufficient information retrieval capabilities.

Bluntly put, you are wrong regarding today's medicine. In 2024, medicine is a heterogeneous mix of art and science. Even for experts, separating real science from what others would want you to believe is difficult, and experience is es

The big problem is: what does a well-conducted study mean to people? For me personally, I won't be convinced until machines get the same info as the doc, meaning the whole messy file raw plus what can be heard, seen or touched directly

Clinical scoring (which is what I assume you are referring to as linear models) is mostly useful when the diagnosis is already more or less identified, to estimate prognosis and choose treatment options. They're no exploratory tools. W

Of course there is potential. There is no doubt that computers and robots will someday outperform docs. But to me (an experienced anesthesiologist), this day is probably futher off than most believe. Especially the robot part.

Well, yes that's my point. You deprive the docs of most stimuli they really rely on, and call it a comparative study. It's like saying A* is better at finding its way into a maze than a blindfolded man, and call it success.

We're not speaking of the same thing when we say 'know-how', then. No, it was not tested.

This study does not test the doc's 'feel'. That's how an experienced doc evaluates patients, in good part. You develop an unconscious 'feel' for the stuff you see often. So, calling this study a fair comparison

This was not tested in the study.

Well, it gets compiled to Racket code, and has distinct syntax, so it seems to fit the bill as a language.

by rscho 2y ago
In this context, you'd import the language just like a library, and feed the file to the Racket compiler. This an embedded language, so there can be no confusion.

It's far worse than that. People using numbers as supportive arguments often generated said numbers themselves, from scratch (meaning, they also collected the data). I'm currently redoing a study from an old prof. The old study wa

People complaining about parens/brackets in lisps have never really used structural editing. Change my mind!
