Is it easier to teach astronauts to drill or teach drillers to be astronauts?

My money is on Eli Lilly leveraging AI to develop drugs vs Anthropic becoming Eli Lilly. Obviously teaching drillers to be astronauts is the better movie though.

We need to focus on making the stuff we already have cheaper and faster.

That's where an LLM and robots can come into play potentially. If we can just scan everyone every year at their physical we could prevent potentially millions of deaths. Yea there are downsides but the downsides are all the extra tests afterwards which we would then have to make faster. Then you add extra blood work at the physical too, not just the default panel.

The only people who trust clinicians are people who haven't been through the healthcare system. There's the before time and after time. It changes you. Every field has good people, bad people and mediocre people. Doctors are no different.

Anyway, I would say I actually had relatively positive experience with Thyroid cancer. I had been seeing my Endo for 10 years at that point since I had hypothyroidism. His nurse was on top of everything. Very calm and reassuring during the whole process.

But all my experiences with the healthcare system outside of that were just disappointing. I had RCVS 2 years ago and I was in the ER and the radiologist summarized the report wrong even though he has read it correctly. They were starting me on stroke protocol and giving me these drugs but I had ChatGPT read it and it was like this is wrong. It's supposed to say no significant stenosis in the neck. It actually said significant stenosis in the neck. The dr reported it immediately and the radiologist corrected it. What a shit show. No one could even give me a straight answer on if I could go back to exercising or when I can get off a medication. Every doctor I saw was completely different. Have a few other stories like that pre LLM's. But you have to advocate for yourself. And always double check the doctors with LLM's now a days.

All of the comments here are overengineering. The code is the documentation

No. At least not with an LLM. Maybe in 50 years with real AI. A lot of non technical people entering the conversation which is very annoying.

And the reason they get enough electricity is because people did the same scare tactics in the 70's against nuclear.

We can cure Cancer. No wait nevermind, actually slow us down.

If we are actually close to ASI then no one in their right mind would say slow down

Why would any company want coding data now? It's all garbage. I'd be surprised if anything past 2025 is even used for training.

My biggest problem with Zed right now is the font rendering doesn't look that good on MacOS. To me Sublime Text always had the best font rendering on Mac. Electron slowly over the years has gotten better and decent now. Zed just doesn't do the font justice. It's too thin or something.

Here we go again. Autopilot != FSD. Autopilot is not "autonomous" driving. It's lane keep with adaptive cruise control. The same system that Honda, Toyota, etc have. Yes the naming is wrong, the marketing is bad, but I don't see it as much worse as Toyota safety sense. If you use it to be "safe" you're going swerve off the highway into a ditch. I used super cruise from GM in my friends suv. As soon as lane markers go away on a bridge, I almost hit the railing.

I'll get downvoted but just giving you the facts. I'm glad the Autopilot name has been retired. Such a bad name, but maybe a good name because autopilot in planes can't see and avoid obstacles either.

I had bleeding, light red, most likely from hemorrhoids (it was), but had a few other factors that the doctor took it seriously. The insurance didn't cover much as far as I know (or any?). Owed like $1800.

Yea good point. My doctor said he would see a non sedated like once every 2 weeks or so. Would be better to go to one that does it more frequently.

haha, didn't catch that

Yea most of the time it was discomfort but the turns were pretty high up there in pain. But that was only 3 times.

North Carolina. And I wasn't actually aware that some doctors wouldn't do until after I had it done (reading about it online). I just called before my appointment to say I didn't need sedation. They said ok and wrote it down. They weren't really pushy during the appointment other than asking me why I didn't want sedation.

I thought it was going to be awkward but wasn't at all. We just chatted. It was him and an assistant. I was able to watch the TV of my colon while he was doing it.

They need to lower the screening to 40. I just had mine at 40, turned out fine luckily. Did it without sedation which my doctor said was rare in US, but common outside of US. I found surprising, wasn't that big of a deal. Pain was probably at a 7/10 during the turns (like 3 times) but ok the rest of the time. A little uncomfortable. Some new sensations, some familiar (feeling like you are crapping your pants).

I walked in and walked out no issue and went on about my day. Prep was fine but would be hard if I didn't work at home.

Oh sorry: *text predictor that feeds text back into text predictor

Ok that's different then. LLM, by definition, can't be AGI. But AGI can be AGI with another technology.

AGI? My guy, it's a text predictor slot machine. Very useful tool but will never be AGI.

Because people think it's "intelligent" because it's manipulating words and you get people like Andrew Yang and Elon Musk getting one-shotted by it.

Yes, it can solve a lot of things, but an LLM isn't going to put everyone out of work, the thing after the LLM will.

At worst, this would only be temporary. Yes, it will cause hardship, but once it trickles down to regular companies, that an LLM is a word predictor, workers will be back. Seems Andrew Yang has never used an LLM to the lengths we do as software developers.

The thing we have to worry about is what's after the LLM.

Yes, but it's much worse than that because it makes multiple workspaces essentially unusable. Try them on Windows or any Linux desktop. When a window is also an application it makes handling them much more seemless. Not to mention the animation on Macos (slide or fade) takes multiple seconds, then when it completes it takes 500ms to actually focus. That's if it actually focuses to the right window when switching, which is currently a bug. Been there for years.

Mac has always had horrible window management. Made worse because applications and windows are a separate concept. Used to seem clever but in the world of multiple workspaces it's a terrible decision. Now it's even worse trying to manage multiple llms and projects.

It's not temporary though. The Covid vaccine push has caused an entire generation to now doubt simple life-saving vaccines. They erased a century of goodwill.

To be fair, a lot of doctors were sounding the alarm in 2021 that forcing the Covid shot was going to cause blow back. They said word for word, that we might see the rise of measles and other similar diseases. It's actually very well documented on zdoggmd youtube channel (podcast) during this time. But there were tons of doctors saying the same thing.

Then why is the site slower than it was in 2012 on a 2009 Macbook?

It's not so much the writing of the code (which I did like), it's the aesthetic of the code. It's solving a problem with the right code and the right amount of code (for now). That's still the case, even with AI writing most of the code. You have to steer it constantly because it has very bad instincts, because most people in the profession aren't good at it, so it has bad training data. Mainly because the "learn to code" movement and people getting into this profession just for the money and not the love. Those people are probably screwed.

My car has driven me back and forth with no issues for 6 months now. But yes it's been a long time coming.

What infrastructure has gone through the last 15 years would like a word.

Half the people I work with can't do imperative jQuery interfaces. So what I guess. I can't code assembly.

It's called a dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer. Plus like robomowers, vaccums etc.
