The effectiveness of dextrometorphan is... underwhelming in most people. But you are correct that no effective cough suppressant is available OTC in Europe.

In that situation you need an anesthesiologist, not an allergologist. Even a random anesthesia tech without medical education would do far better than an allergologist. A paramedic too.

For an uncomplicated case, I think the difference in risk between local and general is so tiny it cannot be reliably measured, when performed by competent pros in the western world.

It's not "just" pulling a tooth out. Depending on the case, it can become quite serious oral surgery.

I'd much rather give free stuff to people. Given those people are citizens and it allows their reinsertion into society. Space exploration supposed benefits are far more remote and as of now, not very useful.

Chess is a game of perfect information. Healthcare outsiders really don't understand that information retrieval is _the_ big issue in medical automation, and that reasoning on said data is the smaller problem. See, docs have one major

Related context: SWI Prolog has a lib to query and reason about a machine-readable form of PubMed through RocksDB. If you do meta-research, or AI-related biomed stuff, you should really check it out!

Because it's their best shot at ensuring their kids' well-being? And if they don't have children, maybe they simply don't care.

It won't. Many researchers can't round correctly. Because they're doing it by hand. On Excel.

A 'just-screwed-enough-to-still-be-usable' version of Scheme is apparently a reasonable recipe for success in the PL design world: JavaScript and R have a genesis in common. I have to say that I long for an array language that&#x2

If you think patients more easily release such info to a robot than to a human, I think you are mistaken. Trust is a large part of medicine, and many (most?) laypeople would fear breach of confidentiality. Irrational, yes perhaps but still.

A GP does a lot of hands-on work that is currently out of reach of a robot. And in addition, the interaction between the theoretical and practical parts of the job is quite complex.

Doctors are absolutely not done. You are forgetting that most of medicine is doing things. Doctors are not limited to theory like lawyers are, for instance. And physical robots are still very far from competing with docs.

Welcome to capitalistic science, where moar is always better. You know, 40y ago when you bought a tool made of stainless steel that would last for life, and now you get the same out of flimsy plastic? Same thing with science.

The obvious: Co-dfns. It's an APL compiler that generates GPU code. But the interesting thing is that it's also _hosted_ on the GPU!

In the long term, healthy patients cost less, yes. And bring more in by staying alive, yes. But you know what's even better? A more or less healthy patient on which you can perform lots of procedures that make money. So I (as an MD mys

Type Driven Development with Idris. You can find the link on the first answer of this thread. Among other things, the book shows an example of a state machine that cannot get stuck (by construction) to manage an ATM.
