TFA: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19781756 Alzheimer's disease is a specific subtype of dementia; this article seems to be more focused on vascular dementia (or at least va…

In the context of TFA, what hypothesis makes much more sense to you than what alternative?

Any reason to use this over omlx?

This was using equipment in the emergency department of our state's only L1 trauma center and comprehensive stroke center; I presume it was decent as far as medical monitoring equi…

Interesting. As I noted above (though typo O2 -> CO2), I used the same technique you describe, which I learned in free diving, and was not able to get below 98%, at altitude.

In many people a momentary drop to the 80s or even below is not an emergency or anything close to it. Not saying that it is good. Someone that is awake, sitting up, and struggling …

Similar data?! We have wildly heterogeneous data just within the US! And again, how exactly is this interface going to work? How does the AI determine how hard to press on an abdom…

Several of those are more procedures than labs. Of course you can't get someone to do a procedure on you for free. Arterial sticks and biopsies may have nontrivial risks (and comme…

I would love to hear of any specific example, I will happily either show you how to order it or learn something myself.

How is training on bad data going to give you better results than the current system? What kind of embedding helps the AI learn to do a physical exam? Not to mention patient privac…

Human language that is.

So why not order your own labs? I'm sure you can think of ways to get your own medications if you are sufficiently convinced that this is the best course of action for your health.…

Unfortunately the training data is absolute garbage. Diagnostic standards in (at least emergency, but I think other specialties) medicine are largely a joke -- ultimately it's ofte…

I'm still fairly new to local LLMs, spent some time setting up and testing a few Qwen3.6-35B-A3B models yesterday (mlx 4b and 8b, gguf Q4_K_M and Q4_K_XL I think). Was impressed at…

Did this many years ago (but with bash) -- life changing is an apt way of saying it.

A ton more conflicting keybindings. I switched away from tmux a year or so ago due to one crash I kept getting, but thinking of going back. Really miss the simplicity.

Lua in HS is what motivated me to finally learn a lisp (Fennel).
