In what way? I'm curious, because I'm a European doc, and things are gravitating towards the US model around here.

Obviously not. It's right in the name, isn't it? LLM = limitless model...

Well, of course the ongoing war does make for poor PR and bad rep, but when things will have settled down people will see it again as the truly compassionate way of thought it promotes.

You never went to western Europe or rich Asian countries ? You should try it and see for yourself.

There's politics, and there's what happens in the trenches. But I agree that it's a bad sign.

Yes, I'm pretty sure about that. The difference in case handling protocols at the start compared to later in the pandemic was pretty staggering. Medical politics is a different beast.

Being prudent doesn't mean stopping the economy in its tracks. It means appropriate planning and monitoring, with intervention as necessary. For some reason, people don't consider the cost of an unchecked epidemy, which is just as

IMO, a new lockdown isn't possible but also would not be necessary if people were willing to behave rationally (I know, I know...). We know influenza viruses far better than we know covid. Masks would be extremely efficient at limiting

Fantastic! Except you can't know in advance. So, the intelligent thing to do is to be prudent until you know what you're dealing with. Otherwise, by the time you decide it's dangerous enough to do something, you've alrea

How is your view closer to reality?! We saw fucking legions of people flood our ICUs overnight, and those were not all people that 'would have died anyway', far from it. How many deaths do you need before it becomes part of your

Public perception of healthcare is far worse, so far fewer people would attempt to limit transmission and protect vulnerable populations. On the other hand, we now have experience in handling respiratory disease pandemics and would likely f

Yes, but with sqlite there is much less ceremony (no server, etc.) and most importantly can be used without talking to my institution's sysadmin, which is what I'm looking for when manipulating one-off datasets.

This typing behaviour, now in combination with strict tables, is a boon for biostats. When you get shitty data to be cleaned, you've got 3 main choices: 1.use slow and untyped scripting languages, 2.use a strictly typed database, meani

All by itself, meaning playing against itself... Interestingly, Bobby Fischer did it in the same way. Maybe AlphaZero also hates chess ? :-)

Compared to the amount of data needed to train an even remotely impressive 'AI' model , that is not even AGI and hallucinates on a regular basis ? On the contrary, it seems to me that humans and their children are hugely efficient

You could compare childhood with the training phase of a model. Still think humans are not data-efficient ?

Understanding a rules-based system (chess) means to be able to learn non-probabilistic rules (an abstraction over the concrete world). Humans are a mix of symbolic and probabilistic learning, allowing them to get a huge boost in performance

It is highly likely that the results of a touristic liposuction will be quite horrible. Also, the probability of grave complication is not that low. People are strange...

Statistical 'AI' doesn't 'understand' anything, strictly speaking. It predicts a move with high probability, which could be legal or illegal.

If still possible, please tell them not to do that. Western hospitals are full of healthcare tourists on their return trip. It often ends very, very badly, and we all end up paying for it.

If this doc meant it in the literal sense of 'can't', why go through with the workup, then? This is IMO evidence that the doc meant 'very unlikely, but let's check'. I agree words are important, but still the r
