Never fall in love with any specific social media platform. They will all betray you or fizzle out (and most likely both). Have some fun. Make some friends. Share some ideas. Do some good. But never forget that they're all impermanent.

ScvO2 is extremely imprecise & noisy (if you do the math and look at the data). The reason that ScvO2 has been around forever and few people use it is that it’s unreliable. We tried to stomp it out a decade ago (re: the surviving sepsis campaign) Math & data here: emcrit.org/pulmcrit/cen...

Thank you! Agree. Historically speaking, when dialysis wasn’t as available as now, and the choice was to slow CKD progression by protein restriction or observe uremia progression, it was justified. Now, with the available therapy, it almost feels like we’d use leeches instead of diuretics 😀🪱

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I think LLMs have uses, but "1,000 targets, including a girls elementary school we hit twice with precision munitions" is indeed representative of their state-of-the-art—and likely a fundamental limitation of the technology. Sometimes sloppiness is okay; sometimes it's 160 dead children.
