Computer science will stop being taught as a useful craft; it has become an explanation of how the world works, like physics, biology and chemistry. This change is long overdue.
@nk I am working on one system where we have extensive tracing. Just dump the raw traces (spans, events) into a sqlite db, and give it a goal. In this system, Claude has been able to find quite subtle bugs and perf improvements...
@nk But I do think the role of (good) software engineering will be setting up safe large-scale structures for LLMs within which they can remain productive.
@nk Evolved, rather than engineered, because the models are good at fixing things pointwise, and are inexhaustible. They are clever enough to come up with locally robust fixes that solve the issues. It's hard to resist the economics of that.
9 months ago @Color partnered with @OpenAI and @UCSF to bring world-class cancer expertise to everyone.
To achieve this, we designed a novel architecture that safely integrates GenAI into clinical practice.
We call it a “Large Language Expert” (LLE). 🧵
Today, we're sharing some big updates on @Color's Virtual Cancer Clinic.
It's the nation’s first clinic of its kind, designed from first principles to create a modern care model, rather than simply working around the current system.
As with many aspects of our lives over the past 20 years, we believe that with a virtual-first distribution model, it is possible to improve both the cost and quality of services we receive. Instead of assuming that high quality care needs to be centralized, scarce and expensive, we believe that it is possible to serve a national footprint in a way that makes world-class care accessible, equitable and affordable.
Check out this post about the principles we followed in creating this model. If you want to get involved with our work, please reach out!
