People who aren't thinking with LLM's, probably weren't doing a great deal of it pre-LLM

Don't suppose you would be happy to share the skill? Or is it fairly unique to your work flow?

I think the tests problem is really having an impact for me. Hadn't considered it before so thanks for flagging.

>the legality would depend on whether your notes are backed up to icloud or not

I agree, and it's nuts.

This feels like less of an issue with anthropic per say as it is a broad reading/misuse of the law's original intent.

This is similar to the approach in healthcare, at least my experience in pharmacy.

When an error occurs we find the root cause but in 99% of cases a change to the environment/process is required to avoid it in the future.

Humans are all imperfect, their competence will change hour to hour let alone day to day. But you can control a system and put checks in place (admittedly a human can still do the process wrong, but then you need to think how the process can be clearer).

No-blame culture is very effective at providing an open environment to share mistakes, learn, but most importantly avoid reoccurance.

I'd support this if I didn't have to post to xitter to claim my username.

Really odd approach.

I think it's less about what was said (it is truthful) and more what isn't mentioned in the title which leaves ambiguity.

I don't necessarily think it's intentional. For those with knowledge in the field I suspect it resonates the appropriate reaction.

For those outside of the field, I think the perception of what being 2 organs means does a lot of leg work in invoking a response which seems exaggerated, but is probably caused by incorrect assumptions of what the title is trying to convey.

I hope that makes some sense, I feel that was a lot of word vomit but I'm struggling to find the right words, it's somewhat meta

Remind me what golf club comes close to the energy consumption of a data center?

Or do you literally mean the entire sport of golf vs 1 data center?

You can't seriously think that's comparable to the OS.

I see your point, but this doesn't seem to be in good faith. There's a distinct difference between ice cream and pony rides (which would be, awesome, with a new laptop) - and a business practice which maintains a monopoly on consumer hardware.

I think it's reasonable for manufactures putting their own software on (I.e., Mac or Microsoft devices running what they want), but all other hardware manufactures only offering Windows just benefits Microsoft, and is clearly part of the MS strategy

I'll be honest I wouldn't blame OP for not finding this (I found a species of hister beetle before anything to do with Hitler)

I feel this is a weird spin on the "Clicks to Hitler" game

I'm not sure how the medical establishment ignores this, from my understanding (and please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not fact checking myself in this moment) - the association between the two is largely linked to vascular dementia (obesity, hypertension, yadda yadda).

I think it's hard to argue "The medical establishment" ignores diet as an important factor.

I think the reality a lot of the time is doctors prescribe something to help. They can't force a diet change on a patient, and they're not mutually exclusive interventions.

IIRC, watermarking text could be as simple as training the model to use specific words/phrases more frequently than what you would expect to find in human-written text, to the point where it's highly statistically improbable that it wasn't AI generated. I assume similar logic could apply to code in the form of functions/code styling.

That's probably an over simplification. Also a solid defence that can be used against complaints about the way AI writes text.

Data support tool for pharmacists to identify savings and best value opportunities for their local health system (NHS/UK)

I'm a pharmacist, worked in the community for 5-6 years before moving into medicines optimisation, which in short is focused on ensuring we use the right medicine at the right time to get the best return on investment in terms of £/patient outcome.

Been a hobby coder for about a decade now, but this is my first attempt at a full stack application (airflow, db, backend, frontend).

Mobile formatting is a little bleh and there's some obvious issues. But it's been rather nice setting up something a bit more rigid/resilient than my previous clandestine approaches

Likewise, unable to get it working myself (tested with reddit and bluesky - both ask for verification still).

Will be keeping an eye on this though, hopefully this can be an alternative to my Irish VPN in the future.
