@ryanels Has anyone done the math on time saved? If it takes you 5 times longer to write code by hand then you are powering on a computer for a much longer time to do the same task, which also wastes energy no?

I think the main thing AI has taught me, through all the time savings it brings, is that I’m not a very interesting person

Faced with a surplus of free time, I realize I don’t really have hobbies besides content consumption

I’m forced to conclude that I don’t have very deep friendships, and am not a core member of any particular community

I’m not very cultured, I’m finding, and don’t have abiding interests in art or literature or history or much that isn’t directly related to my work

I have a work-centric life, in other words. AI pulls back the curtain on just how impoverished such an existence is, by disabusing me of its necessity

Given the freedom I’ve always said I wanted, I’m at a loss as to what to do with it, except plow myself even harder into work, thus exacerbating the lesson

There’s nothing more confronting to humans than freedom

Pretty good idea tbh. Likewise mailing people free smoke detector batteries annually…

I feel personally attacked by this post.

We’re not saying you’re old, we’re just saying taking care of your health now sets you up for a healthier future. If you haven’t had your cholesterol checked lately, ask your doctor about a screening.

[OpenEvidence @EvidenceOpen]

Until now, physicians using AI in clinic had to assemble the patient’s context themselves. Allergies, comorbidities, medications, prior procedures, copy-pasted in from the chart.

Today we’re announcing a partnership with @CedarsSinai. OpenEvidence now works directly inside Epic, drawing on the patient’s full record and interpreting the medical literature through the lens of that specific patient.

Cedars-Sinai is the first academic health system to deploy patient-aware clinical intelligence at enterprise scale. The clinician asks a complex question in natural language. The answer reflects both the best available evidence and the patient in front of them.

Patient data is never stored after the clinical session or used for any other purpose.

This is important to say right now.

Not liking the direction Google is headed? Come to the Duck side.

@Bdayyogi @AdamZivo So what did we do before computers?

@reddit_lies What do I do with the ice cream if I can’t taste it?

@techdroider I really hope they don’t try to copy liquid glass! Be your own thing. If I wanted an iPhone I’d get one.

US nonprofit hospitals spent $7.8 billion on management consultants from 2009 to 2023, but contracts were not associated with meaningful changes in finance, operations, or quality of care. 🧵
