Visual effects went through this same development issues as the industry matured. What took this industry decades to advance it taking months in AI. Think the spaghetti Will Smith and now this. Another one people don't mention here but is specific to video is higgsfield ai.

My original specialist wasn't very engaged with my condition. I was getting the same speech every six month visit. On my last meeting she incorrectly stated a condition I wasn't having with bleeding. My wife had a thyroid issue a number of years ago including cancer growth on it. Her first specialist was using older techniques for her treatment. We ended up going to another specialist who's focus of research was her condition. It was worlds better. Given that experience I decided to find another specialist who focused on my condition.

The first specialist ( hematologist) was referred from local GP. She is a a hematologist, but she wasn't focused on MPNs.

I recommend joining your local MPN alliance to keep up with what's going on in this field. I also recommend finding a specialist with a focus on MPNs. Looks at their papers or listed focus.

I was diagnosed with a rare blood disease called Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) which is part of a group of diseases called myeloproliferative neoplasms. This happened about three years ago. Recently, I decided to get a second opinion and my new specialist changed my diagnosis from ET to Polycythemia Vera (PV). She also highly recommended I quickly go and give blood to lower my haematocrit levels as it put me at a much higher risk of a blood clot. This is standard practice for people with PV but not people with ET. I decided to put the details into google AI in the same way that the original specialist used to diagnose me. Google AI predicted I very likely had PV instead of ET. I also asked Google AI how one could misdiagnose my condition with ET instead of PV and google correctly explained how. My specialist had used my high platelet count and blood test that came back with a JAK2 mutation then after a bone marrow biopsy to incorrectly diagnose me with ET. My high hemoglobin levels should of been checked by my first specialist as an indication of PV not ET. Only the second specialist picked up on this. Google AI took five seconds, and is free. The specialists costs $$$ and took weeks.

Here is the translation from the article. Which is slightly different from what is listed below in the comments.

Now let us praise Heaven-Kingdom's guardian, the Maker's might and his mind's thoughts, the work of the glory-father—of every wonder, eternal Lord. He established a beginning. He first shaped for men's sons Heaven as a roof, the holy Creator; then middle-earth mankind's guardian, eternal Lord, afterwards prepared the earth for men, the Lord almighty.

But yeah AI slop and all that...

Peer review isn't spellcheck or proofreading.

It's about logic, methodology, significance, and citations

To quote kazinator in this thread. "The typo is not the problem; it's that the typo is evidence of academic dishonesty.

When you make a citation, it means you cracked open the original work, understood what it says and located a relevant passage to reference in your work.

The authors are propagating the same typo because they are not copying the original correct text; they are just copying ready-made citations of that text which they plant into their papers to manufacture the impression that they are surveying other work in their area and taking it into account when doing their work."

It's not some gold standard of perfection or truth.

"Gold standard" is a term used within the scientific community to describe the high rigor expected within the scientific community when doing research. One of the processes they hold up in this standard is Peer Review. I wasn't making some general public statement about perfection. Google "Gold Peer Review Gold Standard".

I used to watch her show a few years back. I enjoyed her willingness to point out the failings of the scientific community. Things like lying by omission around the cold fusion energy levels being generated. Certain cosmological areas ignoring the need for empirical validation of their mathematical models etc. This was during that post-covid window where science was the institutions not the the method, skepticism was anti-science. Scientists were being portrayed as angels not humans, that don't suffer from the same failings as the rest of humanity... Anyway it was refreshing.

It was her video on the Stanford Internet Observatory. That made me realise she doesn't always put a lot of research into areas outside her expertise.

You can actually estimate this pretty well with only your brain and basic math. Example 1 in Guesstimation by Lawrence Weinstein and John Adams, would work for this problem. The problem is about estimating the height of all lottery tickets in a lottery. Another book called The art of Insight in Science and Engineering by Sanjoy Mahajan has this problem (1.3) but its with a suitcase filled with $100 bills.

Instead of an interesting discussion about the technologies used to unravel these documents, it quickly degraded into the usual politicized issues that plague the United States, and sadly it seems, now this forum.

I tried emailing Dang, to remove my account with no response. HN administrators, if you read this can please remove my account?

Nature is a complex system. Many are in competition, it's not just humans. Most of these systems form a balance (see biodiversity). Due to resource scarcity, power tends to form which gives these power structures and advantage. Humans form these power structures arounds groups. This has been happening for as long as humans tribalised. Right now, humans can form these groups at nation-state level complexity and to some extent more global. This is humans current best effort. If you can do better, please do.

Children seem to benefit primarily from watching relationships that genuinely make both parents happy.

I think you'll find the data supports chidren benefiting from a happy loving home. Not from the concern of the parents relationships with others.

My childhood friends were mostly from divorced parents and it very much impacted them all in negative ways. Parents are security blankets for children. It's who they run to when scared and need love. They are dependent on them survival. Ripping that apart causes harm.
