It's his job, and this is advertising (he is very good at native advertising on HN).

And what about the rest of the world? I can't imagine US partners will abide this for long.

This is for the preview period, but it's not a good sign. Opus 4.8 may be the last frontier model available to the masses...

Variations of this comment have been posted for over a year. The pelican has now morphed into part of HN culture rather than a legitimate benchmark, but it's still valuable as a meme.

Exactly my experience. I don't even use em dashes as a signal these days, the sentence structure is enough.

This is terrifying, but I couldn't help myself from frustration at the LLM writing that only worsened over the course of the post. Bloggers, it's not subtle. Please, stop, or at least disclose it.

It's not just transcribing text, there is also a post processing step to turn it from an interview transcript into an actionable summary.

A pretty insightful viewpoint I heard recently from a doctor friend: doctors and hospitals believe that only a corporation could possibly implement this, so they fall into the SaaS trap and lose data sovereignty.

Under the hood, a lot of the companies are Llama or Gemma wrappers connected to whisper.

It's crazy that the hospitals justify this approach. The major scribes are literally connecting Llama to Whisper and that's it.

It's sad that I didn't see any languages on your website from Australia, where there are hundreds of languages that need translating.

There's a lot of people in this thread that don't seem to have caught up with the fact that AMD has worked very hard on their cuda translation layer and for the most part it just works now, you can build cuda projects on amd just fine on modern hardware/software.

Can you give some examples of immune overreach that are improved?

Those efforts were for diseases without treatment. But, prolactinomas already have treatment (surgery plus medication). I always ask myself what is the desired outcome from research effort - in this case it seems to be an attempt to cure/totally eradicate a prolactinoma, which would require hundreds of millions of dollars and custom medication (probably immune checkpoint inhibitors) to do, and this disease already has a treatment available.

I'm confused by this post because it seems like his partner got best therapy possible with two surgeries followed by medications without going blind or having other major hormonal issues which can happen after surgery. As correctly stated in this thread prolactinomas aren't a death sentence or even (technically) a brain tumour, and the major risks have been avoided so far. What exactly is being accomplished by a VC deeply researching this case beyond satisfying the valid desire to help your life partner?

There are actually a lot of freely available medical articles on PubMed. Agree about the proliferation of lower quality journals and articles necessitating manual restrictions on citations.

It's crazy to me that somewhere along the way we lost physical media as a reference point. Journals and YouTube can be good sources of information, but unless heavily confined to high quality information current AI is not able to judge citation quality to come up with good recommendations. The synthesis of real world medical experience is often collated in medical textbooks and yet AI doesn't cite them nearly as much as it should.

I think this summary is reductive, because it ignores the surprisingly dense layers of middle management in hospitals and clinics that are paid more than the medical professionals (and even that ignores external middle managers like PBMs etc).

Looks like they were not consulted by Eric before this post.

Developer time?

As my medico wife explained it to me, you have about 1 minute after your heart stops before you start having permanent brain damage. Unless you live inside a hospital your risk of surviving a major heart attack at home is less than 20% at the best of times (and in fact seems to be about 10% or less in USA on average on some quick research).

Possibly. Would be better if the company name wasn't obscured from the post.

ISPs that host illegal content can indeed be outside the risk tolerance of a financial services company. The blog post is very careful to say "one of our companies" and censor the name of it on screenshots so I'll be interested to see what it is.

I don't agree with those policies but it's a possible reason for a financial services business to break a relationship if they discover incidentally that this guys business is breaking the law. Changes the blog post completely and the business info should have been included.

As a heuristic, using TransferWise is traditionally associated with Russian money laundering scams.

Nowhere in this blog does it mention what the business actually does, which is always a red flag. I've seen plenty of stripe bashing posts on HN that end up with the business being in newsletter scams or adult content.

I will never trust OneDrive with any files after it silently deleted thousands of my files while syncing - I hit the hidden maximum number of files limit and then it permanently deleted the remaining files with no warning.

Common etiquette is to declare your conflicts of interest

I think it's more like Sam's condition did not clearly fit into a checklistable entity. Our heart rate and temperature go up when we have the flu, but we don't all go in to hospital for antibiotics or die at home. Probably they should have done more work-up the second time he came in but as the article points out that could also have been negative. He was probably just too young for checklists built for older people to pick up on his condition.

I don't quite understand your third problem. I also don't think the shortage of ER nurses necessarily contributed, as clearly the doctors and the friend thought he was well enough to go home. Definitely agree with the first problem though. We put our kids through a lot of risk by sending them to interstate college...
