I could never really be friends with or spend any personal time with someone who doesn't immediately know the answer to this question. Sorry, but there it is. Not negotiable.

@charlesmurray Only certain groups of Latinos are so advantaged, as specified in the text. Individuals of South American backgrounds are (from what I recall) effectively treated as white. Not saying right or wrong, but clearly something the determiners of this policy cared about

@Noahpinion How accessible do you think it is to non-Chinese speaking western tourists? I was doing some research for a trip later this year, I heard it might be more difficult to get around compared to more typical tourist destinations.

Here’s the problem. Everything you just mentioned was confirmed by empiric observations of nature. Whereas the conclusion that human brains must operate analogously to LLMs is entirely conjecture. It may be true! But nobody is suggesting this now bc of any direct new biological insight.

This tweet is awesome bc the poster managed to trigger an entire state by claiming that our country’s only legitimate business destinations are delta hub cities- and they fell for it

[Lyndon Baines Johnson @lyndonbajohnson]

What tells you everything about how the actual business elite of this country views Texas is that Delta has no footprint here, Austin's airport is a quonset hut with a windsock, Dallas hubs for the MegaBus of the skies, and Houston has a real airline, but the one that sucks. -OS

This point would be stronger if the historical encoding feature were consistent. English is better described as a Frankenstein’s monster- Norse and Latinate appendages sewn into a Germanic base. Modern spelling & usage reflect not a uniform historical logic but rather a random walk. None of which makes it any less beautiful.

@CanesDavid You’re right that sounds different… frustrating it isn’t more useful

Guess I’m in the minority here but I love it, esp as it’s improved enough to reliably summarize even a 20-30 day LOS. The latency gripe confuses me- I just flip to the next chart & keep rolling. If I have multiple discharges I keep a few of them cooking simultaneously while I work in another chart. DC summaries have gone from most annoying to my easiest notes. I agree that it could include more data (though this would make latency even worse). “Garbage in, garbage out” definitely applies; it requires a careful reading before clicking sign. But for what it is- a note summarizer to speed up writing dc summaries- it’s been a solid QOL upgrade.

@GriffinHilly @le_polisson @giulio_mattioli Elite explanation thanks for this

@HuggingModels How can physicians implement this usefully though? Is this HIPAA compliant? Not sure how I could feed clinical info into it to get useful output without revealing PHI. Also doubt it could run/install on hospital enterprise systems which have tight restrictions..

@AgenticReadyHQ @HedgieMarkets Isn’t it still a concern that this new infrastructure may become obsolete within a more limited time horizon than previous infrastructure projects like rail or fiber? I want to believe the bulls but tough to ignore the risk

@alifmunim I’m an IM hospitalist, would it be possible at some point to pair this with POCUS technology like a phone-connected US probe? I’d be fascinated to give this a try at the bedside, assuming no privacy concerns.

@kendramiddleton In the last 3 seasons this team has 31 regular season wins and 2 playoff wins. Now they’re back in the playoffs playing better than ever & lead the league in scoring defense.
