39 year old sexually active woman presented with fever and right sided abdominal pain. Ultrasound was normal so doctors did a laparoscopy to see violin string adhesions between the liver and the wall of the belly.
These thin white bands of tissue look like the strings on a violin. They form when the covering of the liver gets inflamed. This is called Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome. It is also called perihepatitis. It is a complication of pelvic inflammatory disease. This is an infection of the uterus and tubes that spreads upward. The usual germs are chlamydia or gonorrhea. Sexually active women can get these infections if they are not treated. The pain can feel like a gallbladder problem and often gets worse with deep breaths.
Antibiotics clear the infection. Doctors may also cut the adhesions during the operation to relieve pain. Most women feel better after treatment. Seeing a doctor early helps avoid lasting issues.
Thrilled to share my latest paper: “Hybrid Resilient framework for self-driving cars”!
Our new framework combines different resilience techniques to offer a solution against system failures and cyber threats to ensure the safety of SDCs.

Don’t talk about negative things, because the more you speak of them, the more power you give them. Speak of hope, speak of strength, speak of possibility what you focus on, grows.
Does GPT understand the world?
Here is what @ilyasut, co-founder of OpenAI, says during a discussion with Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia:
(1) When we train a large neural network to accurately predict the next word in lots of different texts from the internet, the AI is learning a world model.
(2) On the surface, it may look like learning correlations in text, but it turns out that to 'just learn' statistical correlations in text, to compress information really well, what the neural network learns is some representation of the process that produced the text.
(3) This text is a projection of the world...what the neural network is learning is aspects of the world, of people, of the human conditions, their hopes, dreams, motivations, their interactions...the situations we are in. The neural network learns a compressed, abstract, usable representation."
Do you think learning representations = understanding?
Are large language models simply stochastic parrots, or are they much more?
Western elites — left & right — want you to believe that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is complicated or fundamentally insoluble but watch everyday people use elementary level english to bring clarity to the situation.
