  • ICE agent shoots, kills woman in Minneapolis; Walz puts National Guard on standby

    Jump

  • The time to do something was November 5th, 2024 and the months preceding in GOTV. The current time is to reach out to every friend, acquaintance, co-worker, or maga person you know in your actual community and get offline. The next time to do something is voting for better Democratic candidates in the primaries. Throughout will be more No Kings protests which at every interval has helped chip away Trump's support. The next time will be the midterms where the first real power can be taken back.

    Don't be stupid. Be smart. This incident, tragic though it is, is beneficial to the opposition the way CK was to them.

    Do NOT give them a Reichstag fire excuse they're trying to hard to bait out. Even the Minneapolis Mayor said this.

    And if you criticize this shit, then I am ALL. Fucking. Ears on what your better alternative is, and why you're going to lead it by example.

  • Then we'll cross that bridge when it happens. Until then, we must assume they're a go. Do not submit to apathy or defeatism.

    Lots of trolls on here want exactly that.

  • Stochastic bait. Hold the line, people. Trump is extremely desperate and is on track to losing a huge chunk of power this year in midterms.

    Register. Primary in the best Dems you can. Then Vote Dem in the General Elections. Ignore fools like this throwing peanuts from the peanut gallery.

    We'll talk on the other side of midterms.

  • California GOP Congressman Doug LaMalfa Dies Suddenly at 65

  • Just like CK or Dick Cheney, my sympathy had already been reserved for other countless victims of conservative ignorance and greed.

    To celebrate or not; one certainly is not obligated to mourn.

  • Your point is completely valid but what's scary to me is that very much in name of, "Info Wars" and Plato's Allegory of the Cave, perception becomes reality.

    In short, they know they fully in control of the biggest megaphones of media and so can mold reality however they like

  • Trump’s Attack on Venezuela Is Illegal and Unwise

    Jump

  • Oh yeah I knew this but I'd love to see the standoff between Netherlands and the 119+ other signatories versus the USA having arrested Trump. Granted, I think he'd have to be out of office and a Democratic president in charge to look the other way, but I'm not when sure another republican president would do much for him.

    Ah well it's a pipedream anyway.

  • This will bring ICC charges.

    How poetic would it be that Jack Smith goes back to working for the ICC where he locked up war lords, only to lock up Trump.

    I'm going to huff that hopium, leave me be.

  • Trump says he's dropping push for National Guard in Chicago, LA and Portland, Oregon, for now

    Jump

  • I think the public display for fear was the point, but it backfired tremendously. Some policy goon probably finally broke through that they aren't able to rig the midterm elections quickly enough and the polling is collapsing.

  • More Than 20 Million Americans Are Set to Lose Health Care Coverage on January 1

    Jump

  • That's all well and good because at least Musk is on his way to becoming a trillionaire!

    Real talk, why the fuck hasn't there been a West Wing-esque or some sort of satirical tv series that literally just showcases exactly what has been going on for the past 2 decades? Sure there was House of Cards and what not, but I'm talking a literal 1-to-1 copy of all the shit Trump and Republicans have done for 20 years?

    That would be more valuable than all the fucking ads and text messages we receive from the DNC, combined.

    Jump

  • Did you consider wearing an N95 and washing hands thoroughly upon departure, or was it more a good excuse to not associate with people you don't love or care for?

    I'm not Christian but my family enjoys a paganesque Christmas as a bunch of agnostic and atheists as a good excuse to get together. In fairness, we don't really associate with anyone anti-vaxx or stupid with hygiene either.

  • Dr. Oz wants AI to decide what procedures people need. N.J. will be a testing ground.

    Jump

  • How about instead you provide your prompt and its response. Then you and I shall have discussion on whether or not that prompt was biased and you were hallucinating when writing it, or indeed the LLM was at fault — shall we?

    At the end of day, you still have not elucidated why — especially within the purview of my demonstration of its usage in conversation elsewhere and its success in a similar implementation — it cannot simply be used as double-checker of sorts, since ultimately, the human doctor would go, "well now, this is just absurd" since after all, they are the expert to begin with — you following?

    So, naturally, if it's a second set of LLM eyes to double-check one's work, either the doctor will go, "Oh wow, yes, I definitely blundered when I ordered that and was confusing charting with another patient" or "Oh wow, the AI is completely off here and I will NOT take its advice to alter my charting!"

    Somewhat ironically, I gather the impression one has a particular prejudice against these emergent GPTs and that is in fact biasing your perception of their potential.

    EDIT: Ah, just noticed my tag for you. Say no more. Have a nice day.

    Jump

  • The difference is that the practitioner can distinguish the difference from hallucination from fact while an LLM cannot.

    Sorry, what do you mean by this? Can you elaborate? Hundreds of thousands of medical errors occur annually from exhausted medical workers doing something in error and ultimately "hallucinating," and not having caught themselves. Might, like a spellchecker, an AI have tapped them on the proverbial shoulder to alert them of such an error?

    A supercomputer is only as powerful as it’s programming.

    As a software engineer, I understand that; but the capacity to aggregate large amounts of data and to provide a probabilistic determination on risk-assessment simply isn't something a single, exhausted physician's mind can do in a moment's notice no differently than calculating Pi to a million digits in a second. I'm not even opposed to more specialized LLMs being deployed as a check to this, of course.

    Example: I know most logical fallacies pretty well, and I'm fairly well versed on current-events, US history, civics, politics, etc. But from time-to-time, I have an LLM analyze conversations with, say, Trump supporters to double-check not only their writing, but my own. It has pointed out fallacies in my own writing that I myself missed; it has noted deviations in facts and provided sources that upon closer analysis, I agreed with. Such a demonstration of auditing suggests it can equally be quite rapidly applied to healthcare in a similar manner, with some additional training material perhaps, but under the same principle.

  • That's really interesting, thanks. I'm curious how long ago this was as neither I nor my partner (who works in the clinical side of healthcare) have seen anything deployed at least at the facilities we've been at.

  • Is that the same as Intouchables? If so, I loved that film!

    Jump

  • I couldn't have said it better myself and completely agree. Use as an assistant; just not the main driver or final decision-maker.

    Jump

  • But doctors and nurses' minds effectively hallucinate just the same and are prone to even the most trivial of brain farts like fumbling basic math or language slip-ups. We can't underestimate the capacity to have the strengths of a supercomputer at least acting as a double-checker on charting, can we?

    Accuracy of LLMs is largely dependent upon the learning material used, along with the rules-based (declarative language) pipeline implemented. Little different than the quality of an education that a human mind receives if they go to Trump University versus John Hopkins.

  • Do you know of a specific software that double-checks charting by physicians and nurses and orders for labs, procedures relative to patient symptoms or lab values, etc., and returns some sort of probablistic analysis of their ailments, or identifies potential medical error decision-making? Genuine question because at least with my experience in the industry I haven't, but I also haven't worked with Epic software specifically.
