I agree with this. Any coder can tell you that AI will write some decent code, but it takes (at least at this point in time) an experienced coder to tell "this is crap code" or "this is decent code" – find a better doctor, because it's going to be hard to tell whether the advice it's giving you is the equivalent of crap code or good quality code.
I did not see anything disagreeable with the writers perspective of Wikipedia.

It is an amazing resource and achievement (even if the days of paper encyclopedias are now lamentably passed us; I think there is maybe one still in print).

I do not wish to go off on a whole Musk tangent, for the sake of the article it is fair to say Musk appears to not understand how Wikipedia works.

Personal opinion is that he more than knows how it works. He just does not care or believes the platform does not serve his interests.

Off-topic: Has there been anything substantial with regarding the use of generative AI as an editing tool for Wikipedia?
These pages weren't wide open, they had weak and ineffective authentication.

I understand the confusion. I was typing fast. I meant Tor hidden services. I ran a service called torwhois that collected data and shared it.

That's a really inefficient health care system.

Sorry, I edited my comment with a final statement. I think chatGPT added a lot and I think the future of AI in medicine is with patients bringing their own AI to help interpret the results.

I don't know about this specific result but I've uploaded photos to Google Lens with good success. It's not an LLM or generative AI so it can't generate a response, but it's actually really good at identifying things in an image.

I agree with you about the Dropbox comment though. This whole thing is about having a polished user experience rather than bouncing between Google searches, Google Lens, and various other websites.
Have no idea what variant of LSD I last consumed, but I remember some deep feelings of profound thoughts and self-reflection quite almost instantly when the stuff "hit" (maybe 30-45 minutes after ingestion), I was still cognizant enough to be able to write it all down. Some of what I wrote was indeed stuff I needed to work on in my own life and it was pretty helpful.

I then spent the next like 12 hours on my couch realizing that the entire concept of time is a manmade construct that is absolutely meaningless and irrelevant in the grand scheme of the universe. All this while watching golf on TV (which followed a golfer who posted the lowest final round score ever at a major). I have no idea how the TV turned on, and why I didn't turn it off.

LSD is fucking wild.
Why are bats so often a vector? Is it because they are airborne mammals? Meaning they can cover a lot of ground and come in contact with a lot of other vectors, and also have biology more similar to humans than, say, birds?

I am aware that birds are also a common vector, but bats seem to be the greater risk.
I suspect putting these on the internet is recommended so they can push firmware updates, and perhaps it's even required to make the thing work.
Exactly. People sold on AI replacing software engineers are missing the point. It is almost the say that better laptops are replacing software engineers. LLMs are just tools that make you faster. Finding bugs, writing documentation, etc. are very nice to accelerate but creative thinking is also a big part of the job.
> Sticking to the original claim is "bad faith argument" now?

Arguing against a weak interpretation of someone’s argument is arguing in bad faith when a stronger interpretation is plausible. It is in the guidelines:

> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
> I encounter it often because I deal with small contractors for home services and repairs and Facebook is how they reach new customers.

I deal more with small businesses than large myself, but I've never been unable to find their phone number.

However, as I said, if Facebook really is the only way to talk to these people, then these people clearly don't want my business anyway. Their loss, not mine.

Oof, you don't go down to zero platelets without something gone seriously off the rails.
Seems like it got caught right in time, but wishing for the best in the follow-up.

This being said, a problem with blood tests is that a layperson won't know right off the bat if a value outside of the normal range is ok or a life-threatening issue.
I understand it might introduce a lot of complexity for labs and that there's some level of "big picture analysis" involved that will require some human intervention, but even just a color-coded line for WBC/RBC, hemoglobin and platelets could already go a long way, as OP's case demonstrates.
It doesn't need "AI" or a "Scribe" to spot a low platelet count in lab results either, computer systems have been able to do this for decades.

There's a systemic failure that a computer wasn't already flagging up the low count for immediate follow-up.

What I find interesting is that AI (or more specifically LLMs / chat-GPT ) has had such an impact it's broken down barriers from people who previously would be against any computer involvement or automation. People have gone from, "You must not automate anything" to "We should feed everything into chat GPT"..

And from someone who has in the past been interested in statistical modelling, it's dizzying. It's as if statistics were seen as boring and fallible, but "AI" is exciting and wonderful.
Gemini doesn't give a correct response when asked about what model it is. You can convince it to answer pretty much any version number. From the docs, it's a fine-tuned the Gemini 2.0 model for developers.

> In vitro work has suggested that molecular adaptations that support the physiology of flight, a trait unique to bats among mammals, may allow bats to tolerate rapidly replicating viruses that express heightened virulence upon emergence in less tolerant hosts such as humans — thus offering a possible explanation for bat virus virulence. Bats and birds share a suite of convergent flight adaptations—both taxa are remarkably long-lived for their body size and appear to circumvent metabolic constraints on longevity through cellular pathways evolved to mitigate oxidative stress induced by flight.
As a non-native Ensligh speaker, I asked ChatGPT what the ER acronym means: Emergency Room (I guessed E was for "Emergency" after reading your story, but I didn't know about the 'R').

AI is also helpful to parse the story about how AI is helpful.

you don't need to figure how to create your own note taking/list making/accountancy software, you just open your favorite/default search engine, write the query and get a plethora of options, for nearly any platform under the sun, because of all the work has already been done, as you pointed out in your last paragraph.

I didn’t. I followed up with a doctor and mentioned the possibility of mono who then performed the EBV tests and provided the official diagnosis after previously seeing a different doctor who incorrectly diagnosed the problem as eczema.

What the author should have done, as soon as they saw the physician had not yet looked at the results, is to immediately go to a pharmacy and show them the results. I’m glad AI has been useful this time, but pharmacists are experts too (and would tell you if they are not sure of something, instead of confabulating).

Generally yes.

Sometimes what’s “normal” is highly dependant on other factors. In that case you might get a table or other comparative information provided.

That said, some results are still concerning if they’re “high-normal” or “low-normal”, and some results are not that worrying even if they’re slightly abnormal.

I've been re-watching House lately and I can't help but constantly think that a LLM would be excellent at diagnostics. At least in the sense of, "the patient has displayed XYZ symptoms, the test results have XYZ data, and ergo the following conditions are likely. Especially in the more obscure interactions and second-order effects.
So is dang/HN in general good with the several comments in this thread giving explicit medical advice that is some variation of "don't go to the doctor, use chatGPT"?

I'm not sure the value of the discussion around those comments outweighs risk of spreading/normalizing that idea.
About the last part of the post, Ada has asserts if my memory is correct. And Oberon, if it's still alive. And Eiffel with assertions on preconditions and postconditions of routines (functions or procedures.) Probably those features were shared by many other languages that were fashionable some 30 years ago and never became mainstream. Then Java and C++ did to the industry what C did in the 70s/80s and all those features retreated from what developers almost used to what researchers wrote in their papers.
There is a huge amount of relentless work from 'dang' and others moderating the site. That's a big reason you don't see that stuff.
That sounds like a fairly open/shut case of fraud/abuse if it can be proven.

At my last apartment my LL would only allow a single number per apartment... well I was sharing the apartment with someone else and I was sick of being the only person to get called. 30 seconds of Googling revealed the user manual for the intercom, and of course the default password of "5555" was still set on it...

I programmed both our lastnames and phone numbers to our apartment unit number. I did that in 2014 and I moved out in 2016.

To this day -- NINE YEARS AFTER MOVING OUT -- I am still getting calls whenever someone hits #25 on that intercom.

I should have done the 1-900 thing :D

Question to which I don't have the answer: does an instant LLM response that says you may have cancer, infection or some other malady based on a report alleviate your suspicions? Or would you rather wait for a measured discussion with a professional? Personally speaking, I might be fooled into contacting my doctor inappropriately citing a false positive from DrGPT which seems inefficient.
I usually quickly ctrl+p to save a pdf haha.
That's true; The key thing I'm pointing at is that the way Orthodox scholars justify which councils are legitimate vs those that are not has been through whether or not the Patriarchs are represented, similarly to how Rome uses Papal approval for the same purpose.
Exactly. The stakes of the conversation are quite high. Innocent people could suffer real harms.

Professional norms exist to support people in taking responsibility for the power they have. The CEO is manifestly failing in his responsibilities.
There was a 48 hour deadline. Nobody was expected to respond outside work hours.
Ah yes, the classic equivalent extremism of the blue hairs on Twitter (who hold approximately zero levers of state power) and the actual elected leader of the other party.

One extremist group says insane shit on TikTok, the other runs the FBI. The latter is totally a sensible response to the former.
If you split a secret over two people, first, we use the 5$ wrench on one of you to identify the other and the rest is easy.

If the second person is somewhere else in a different jurisdiction, how are you going to communicate with each other to get the two halves of the secret together to encrypt/decrypt messages? It's an unworkable situation.

As I see it, you create a fantasy situation that would not work if you just want to communicate with people in a secure way. No amount of technology or encryption is going to work, especially in the real practical world.
The debt is not a minor problem, which is why conservatives should be unhappy. The cuts so far are at best rounding error. We're cutting the cheap useful programs (USaid, Ed) and leaving the big issues with entitlements for future bipartisan efforts which everyone knows will never come. The opposite of the 80/20 rule seems to be guiding the process. And a lot of people on the right are free market liberals, including many key never trumpers, so the Milton Friedman fan club and CATO types are not going to point out the obvious math.
It doesn't need to be DOGE staff. With presidential intervention they could cut through the red tape and completely expose them. Showing the waste on paper is one thing, but going through an entire PO will help relate the concept to more people. An exemplar of waste and how it can be fixed.
I’m not really interested in converting the normies. It’s just not worth the effort. People are free to do what they want. My point is simply that we have better options and we’re free to choose them.
I guess I don’t understand how it’s dangerous. I’m not giving myself any kind of independent treatment based on the output of an LLM. But it provides possibilities that doctors may have overlooked. Those doctors can then empirically assess the possibility in detail to determine whether it is correct.
I recall reading somewhere that traditionally Hebrew religious scrolls (prepared by mental copying) would be compared against the original by young children who know the letters but can't really read well. In this vein, I wonder if we could have a VLM intentionally made to not understand the actual words.
I realized this while working as a tutor for programming students at my college back in 2013... When people would ask or say they didn't know or understand really basic computer things (I can't remember what it was) I still showed them what they were, but I realized, not everyone grew up with computers the way I did. Some explore, but most people don't necessarily explore.

I think people who grow up with computer games have a lot more exposure than normal users. Smartphones somewhat made computers irrelevant for most people.
One thing i have seen while freelancing (on mostly marketing tasks) is how people are willing to pay a lot if you own the outcomes. The typical model is work per hour, but if you can own some outcomes you control aka drive value, many businesses would be happy to pay higher than hourly rate too. That also separates you from all the other candidates when it comes to proposals.
Yes it did. Let's not only praise ChatGPT because it said the right thing at the right time. ChatGPT told you how to stay alive, and the ER team did the work to keep you alive. Both systems were critical in the save.
She didn’t trust ChatGPT more, ChatGPT was just available when the doctor was not.
Yes, because we largely don't have Free Software.

> If there is a free software license, it’s of no direct use to them.

It's of indirect use; they could use a modified version of the software that does what they want, created by someone else. This is why you generally don't see user-hostile features in Free Software; someone would just fork the project and edit them out.
The human like conversation urging to go to the ER was particularly useful in this instance. I am not saying I don't fear for it's mistakes but clearly it's ability to communciate in natural language is something to not take for granted.
The term you're looking for is cognitive load. It's a qualitative term used to represent the amount of information a person has to keep in working memory while working on a task.

Don’t care about state elections as that’s not the point. If someone that was currently in the last term of their Constitutionally limited position decided some sort of martial law that delayed/postponed/canceled an election that would replace them using their SCOTUS provided blanket immunity for official acts while the congressional branch refuse to impeach/convict, then there would not be an election. Anything the states did wouldn’t matter as the complicit congress would just choose to not recognize anything the states did.

It might seem like a bizarre thing to say about the USofA, but we were not far from not certifying the previous election with an opposition led congress.
I'm a New Yorker. We used Uber because it was cheaper. Now I can't get cabs anywhere besides Manhattan.
> The Jevons effect has nothing to do with how efficient something gets.

Why do you say that? From the first sentence of the link you posted: “In economics, the Jevons paradox occurs when technological advancements make a resource more efficient to use (thereby reducing the amount needed for a single application); however, as the cost of using the resource drops, if the price is highly elastic, this results in overall demand increases causing total resource consumption to rise.”

It has everything to do with efficiency, as higher efficiency is what makes it a paradox. It’s not even interesting, let alone a paradox, if we ignore efficiency and talk about lower prices leading to increased demand.
Last time I uploaded a medical report it outright refused to provide any analysis
The antidote to XKCD 538 can be steganography. They won't beat you with a $5 wrench if they don't suspect you of doing anything at all. End-to-end encryption can become illegal, but as long as you can run arbitrary code on your machine, you can hide and decode messages with steganography. JavaScript can do the job, so even locked down mobile devices will work if you go to CodePen, JSFiddle, JSBin, etc.

Steganography isn't some magic shield to avoid surveillance though. If authorities are already monitoring you for some other reason, then they can burn a zero-day exploit and see anything you do on your device. And if your entire city is covered in cameras with facial recognition, well... you can have your secret messages but I don't know what kind of resistance you're going to be putting up. So to some degree you're right that you can't fully ignore policy and politics.

Not sure how to get most of the public to care though. I get most people have more immediate concerns in there lives, and crime is a legitimate issue, but even a cursory knowledge of history will show the hell life can be under authoritarian governments. I think far too many people think "it can't happen here", which seems insane considering how often it has occurred even in liberal democracies (Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Argentina, Chile, and many more.) In less liberal and less stable democracies, it has happened even more times. I'm not sure why people have some unfounded faith that their government could never become authoritarian and oppressive.

I'm not saying take down every CC camera and get rid of intelligence agencies -- they are important tools for fighting crime. But there's a difference between a few traffic cameras and CC cameras in places people would presumably commit a crime, and burning targeted exploits for surveillance of truly notorious criminals, and just mass surveillance through banning end-to-end encryption. With zero-day exploits, the government is inherently limited in the surveillance they can do, so it's a limiting factor on their potential for abuse, as the more they use it, the more likely they are to be discovered and patched. But with no end-to-end encryption, the potential for abuse is limitless.
I am aware of that. Yet I don't see other cohorts doing that with their editor/IDE of choice. It seems to be mostly the "I don't want to configure my tools" subset, who does that. What if I switch my tool of choice 2-3 times? Do I get to commit all my project management IDE/editor specific files too? How much stuff do we want to accumulate in the git repo?
