I don't know how I feel when all the documentations are written by AI for humans.

AI to AI doc share: sure, do what you please.

AI to human: please make it legible and flowly.

example, "Every thinking block records which model produced it, and it's preserved in one direction only: Claude Fable 5.1 reads earlier models' thinking blocks, and no earlier model reads Claude Fable 5.1's." is a very Claude-isk way of writing. Choppy, long, and lacking flow.

This is the most insane thing to happen to medical imaging

To understand Midjourney Medical (MM), think about current major options: - CT/X-ray: harmful if done too much && can't do for pregnant women - MRI: slow, have to stay still, no metal - Ultrasound: really low fidelity

Midjourney Medical is fast, high fidelity, and perfectly safe!

The holy trifecta.

Insane vision. Insane work. Hats off to the team

I have thoughts on this

1. Yes, vitamin D actually controls a lot of bodily functions it’s very easily set aside as not a “main” factor when in reality it actually controls a lot

2. This study was done on women in Denmark only which isn’t a great study subject considering Denmark doesn’t get a lot of sun to begin with so most of these women would already start at very low levels

3. This doesn’t directly correlate to women of color because WOC need higher dosage of vitamin D than white women do. The general range of “good” level of vitamin D that doctors tend to use is related to studies results gotten from white people when in reality brown and black people need way more for their range to be at a normal place.

These are cool laptops. But, after getting a decent config (32gb ram, 1tb ssd, 7 series chip), the price is ~$2300. At that point, a MacBook Pro seems like a better choice. I'd not want to develop on anything less than that config. The selling point seems to be the Linux + Framework brand + highly customizable machine you can actually own

I've always wondered if these laptops can scale beyond the enthusiast group. If so, how?

I added `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL=max` to my shell's env so that every session is always effort:max by default

I went down memory lane. In 2020, I dropped out of Dartmouth, flew back to Nepal on the second flight after borders reopened, and spent a year doing things I never expected.

One of them: building one of the first three-story I-beam steel structures in Far West Nepal. No local expertise. No supply chain. A crew that had never done it before. We figured it out anyway.

a catalog for all deliverables ever made by consultants so that they can search semantically among slides from differnt projects and more effectively reuse their previous slides in new projects

https://alkemy.devdashlabs.com

It has an ingestion layer where we break apart a project, it's deck and it's slides into relationships like frameworks/visual archetypes, and then save that in a graph database plus a vector database. The user can then query "find me work we've done on geology research that might be relevant to industrial mining"
