Zig, similar to Rust, is like crawling into a syntax dumpster fire. Ugh. Give me C any day if I didn't have a choice for better options.

Navigating the complexities of AI in healthcare isn't about embracing regulation or throwing it to the wind per se; it's about smart integration. "MedGPT" wouldn't just be a tool—it's a leap towards democratizing medical knowledge, with the power to sift through data and present nuanced insights that can guide decisions. There are definitely ways to do this that go far outside the scope of this format of discussion. When it comes to understanding risks, the clarity and depth AI can offer are unparalleled. By leveraging AI, we're not just throwing caution to the wind; we're arming ourselves with a precision tool. Testing? It’s through iterative, real-world application and feedback, refining our approach as we learn. This isn't about replacing human judgment; it's about enhancing it with comprehensive, data-driven insights. Let’s focus on how AI can transform healthcare, driven by innovation and guided by wisdom.

The ONLY advantage of going to doctors or large hospitals is that they tend to have more data, but they (the doctors) admit that their hands are tied by so many regulations that they are being prevented from healing people. This has created a very toxic ecosystem for healthcare globally that is not driven by sincere and true interests of healing people. My grandfather convinced me to get out of healthcare due to his many decades in the industry and seeing it just completely disintegrate from circa 1950-2000. He implored me to go into a different field so as to not be caught up in an industry that does not truly cure. I'm grateful for his wisdom. His entire family were doctors and owned a hospital even. He had a very deep and well aged perspective of the development we have seen over the past century.

There are many ways to do this - AI naturally facilitates this very thing in a robust manner. Frankly I have used it to create various "studies" with incredible success when you go deep enough with it. What we really need is MedGPT and not regulations - a ChatGPT that is simply highly specialized and gives warnings out the wahoo.

And this is a good thing. I know MANY doctors who are getting out of healthcare and going into business in the USA due to the many problems that range from regulation to BU problems to - well, many other issues. People should be able to take risks as long as they know what the risks are and regulatory clamps need to be released.

Seriously? Talk to me privately if you have any actual demonstrable problems with me. It's not like I don't know who you are, but I'm not directly calling you out here for your desire to remain anonymous.

Understandable to misread - I, funnily, did as well as I was quickly going down through the original comment + replies.

I believe I know who the OP is and it's a very sad situation of simple hurt feelings from largely misunderstanding. It's a sad situation actually, but such is life and differences of cultures and human interaction. I feel bad for the OP to have had to have felt so badly that they felt the necessity to post this hit piece vs trying to really address the issues that other community members have gathered from it as actual issues to resolve. So sad.

He is in fact reading it, please look again at what he pasted. It really seems somehow you're getting your wires crossed.

It is an awesome language. It's the first language I'm feeling will be able to pull me from Ruby once some things get ironed out.

Funny, I've never had any misgivings or unfulfilled expectations so far. I suppose my "defaults" are a bit different than others. Very disheartening to see the world in such a state as people feel its necessary to waste times with negative activities vs trying to build and uplift.

Some of us have some level of passion about it because we're long term supporters and donors and don't AT ALL feel like our investment has been in vain.

V Language Review 4 years ago

I think they are using that term because of some very early experiences that the community faced from a clear perception in this regard. It was so sad to see these other communities descend to such slimy depths. <sigh>

Nah, very much personally dislike those two languages for various and many (predominantly technical, but some aesthetics are involved as well) reasons. V hits a sweet spot coming from a Ruby background.

100% right. It's sick. As a donor and supporter of this VALIANT AND VALID effort, I applaud the V community. It's full of sincere passion, love and is putting forth a great effort to realize something useful and needed in this sector.

You know something, some of us are HAPPY donators for 3 years now and we're fine and feel that our investment is worthy. I really think you are terribly misrepresenting the situation.

Hello V-Lang 4 years ago

We could, but it's not yet public. Rest assured, it exists and there is work going forward on it to get it out the door somewhat soon.

You may find the public `go2v` work interesting. It's being worked on by some other folks in the community: https://github.com/vlang/go2v

Hello V-Lang 4 years ago

Thank you. The db drivers do need some love and are going to get it soon, but it's been a relatively lower priority considering other areas of focus by community members.

Hello V-Lang 4 years ago

Nice to see he's kept his word and following through as is the community. Really great and lovable group of folks. Sometimes there are cultural differentials, but everyone is really great and with a primary and essentially only rule of "be nice" - I think it's a breath of fresh air in this screwed up time.
