You are unambiguously wrong. Never ask LLMs for medical advice. There is no nuance here, and I suspect the only reason there's so much backlash against this simple and obvious fact…

I've tried removing my post because the comment section here has become a platform for AI enthusiasts to spread dangerous medical misinformation. As HN does not really care about u…

> What about the multiple people who have reported receiving incredibly useful information after asking an LLM, when doctors were useless? They got lucky. This is why I wrote this …

Disclaimer: not a doctor (obviously), ask someone who is qualified, but this is what the ID doctor told me: Lyme is a bacterial infection, and can be cured with antibiotics. Once t…

If you're going to ask an LLM for a medical diagnosis, stop what you're doing and ask a doctor instead. There is no good advice downstream of the decision to ask an LLM for a medic…

No, the lesson here is never use an LLM to diagnose you, full stop. See a real doctor. Do not make the same mistake as me

To be honest, I am pretty embarrassed about the whole thing, but I figured I'd post my story because of that. There are lots of people who misdiagnose themselves doing something st…

No; the burden of proof lies with the affirmative. To require someone to prove that they are NOT guilty of corruption is unfair (and also irrational)

index.html with script files would still benefit from a bundler. You can have a very minimal react footprint and still want to use react build tools just for bundling.

Most web frameworks do both at the same time to the point where having to write code which enforced a type contract after deserializing is a delabreaker for me. I eant to be able t…

We have categorically lost our ability to change or enforce laws, and so while congress may pass a law, the followthrough is usually nonexistent

I think people are wary of moving to gitlab because its a similarly large platform and dont want to repeat their mistakes

Gitlab works fine for me. Been using it at work for a few years and recently moved all my personal repos there

What mechanisms do you have to allow people to remove their comments from your databae

It's A16Z, they definitely had an LLM recommend a set of books that nobody there has actually ever read. Except maybe Snowcrash

it's interesting that staying up to date with your dependencies is considered a vulnerability in Node

The skills required to get hired and the skills required to do the job are, again, not related
