Thank you ABIM for notifying me that my score on the LKA is above the passing score (with room to spare) and thus I am wasting my time for nothing #moc

I’m not sure most people realise how much AI-fuelled demand for RAM and storage is pushing up hardware costs for everyone. Just ridiculous. #AIHype #Enshittification

Two fathers are getting a nice gift from their daughters this year

My 2c re: Midjourney. Can't beat the physics of waves transmitting through air/solid interfaces, but still could be useful if cheap, repeated frequently to evaluate findings & the company open to pay for evidence. Would get one for fun (but I wear a lingo CGM despite normal A1c)

It is not difficult to reproduce most of the functionality in FAISS with hand rolled <2k LOC #openmp device code, with equivalent performance if one were to use a reasonably modern #clang compiler (I have blacklisted #gcc for offloading). Benefit: one does not need a full conda environment

This is getting annoying #openmp yields more performant code in the CPU in gcc vs clang, but offload performance to #gpu is reverse

This is probably a stupid idea, but can one use a time average (over the lifecycle of a kernel) #gpu power usage indexed to the maximum one as an indication of how close one gets to full utilization? Eg if the average is 125W for a 250W you have room to double performance.

#ai #FAFO Wasn't paying attention and accepted a slopbot generated bash script and I FUBARed one of the two Ubuntu installations in my dual boot GPU system (thank God not the FIPS one). This is going to take a while to resolve

Visualizing poor dietary choices under the pretense of a "based pancreas stress test" using the #lingo Double burger with fries; it took over 12 hrs for the effect of that meal to not exert an influence on the CGM output given my phenotype of a multipeak prandial glucose curve

This is so beautiful , splines in my makefiles ! Gemini 3.1 pro

Second day of the CGM (Lingo by Abbott) in my attempt to capture the participant experience for a trial i am designing. Feels weird that my glucose curve was the subject of a Diabetes Care paper nearly 40 years ago!

Prandial glucose changes induced by two Oikos yogurts , one cup of fruit salad (primary peak), secondary peak related to six chocolate(and possibly Cdiff) covered macadamia nuts. #cgm #thuglife Curious about what the burrito challenge will show

Bought the lingo because I was challenged by a patient to reflect on my poor health choices (this refers to my prohuman #zerokale activism) and I am opening the app every 60seconds to see the glucose. Damn, this is better than eBay

Nearly 3 months later I still feel that EZ PAVE needed a better way to present the kidney outcomes. Was it less AKI ? Or stabilization of CKD progression. Does it even matter?

Approaching the renewal date for X and I decided not to renew: I had a paid account for years until the hack in 2024 , which customer support never helped recover. I renewed it after promises of a better product that never materialized. Ended up getting a 38$ annual Gemini/Google storage plan

Seth Harp over at X called the bubble subprime AI, and I am getting flashbacks. There may be no money for medicaid, but there certainly will be money to bail out the AI companies. Let's do the one true Libertarian thing for a change: let them fail, no bailouts.

Stop bashing - you have got Perl! Two-hour workshop to get more comfortable with Perl for those times you need to get the job done in style. I combine #perl and #rstats to automate various work tasks (eg dashboards) and nothing ever leaves my PC https://youtu.be/aWZetfaPM7E?si=7j_A-dwRogqzGZD-

Abusing the C macro preprocessor tonight....

Happy AI usage billing day fellow #githubcopilot comrades. Those who will not kneel to the Raptor , will see their bank accounts go through the Rapture #06.01.26.AIBillSlaughterhouse

In retrospect, #linkedin should have been the obvious choice for professional scientific commenting: ✔️ long posts are free 🛑 one can usually spot the bots (and by limiting one's network can insulate themselves further) 🤓 accounts are eponymous Too bad it is full of Lunatics

In other news, medical expenses will become the second cause of bankruptcy in the US after #ai starting tomorrow. Usage based billing , first by #microsoft and soon by everyone else will ration usage. Ppl using AI for chat & mental health support will be harmed BIG-TIME

Interesting experiment ; can you guess when I switched to Raptor mini and when Copilot tried to get my billing to go up ? #ai

I love #llm s ... the coding equivalent of "is this mushroom safe to eat" , followed by a smiling LLM over the user's grave saying "you were right, do you want to know of any mushroom recipes"? OpenMP vs CUDA / HIP reveal how shallow the stochastic parrots really are

Lol, wtf ?

Make this makes sense: we train our medical students/residents/fellows/ourselves to avoid stereotyping and bias and yet we are embracing medical AI slopware which does the exact opposite? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11908302/ (Congrats to my fried Girish Nadkarni who coauthored it)

The golden rule of backup: backup the backup of the backup was vindicated. My Toshiba x300 Pro TB with nearly 3 years worth of sequencing data may have died. Three other copies survive and one will be copied again tonight. Expense limited to having to buy another monster HDD

Imaginary gfs but the gfs are GPUs at ebay one cannot afford.

The #avacopan story in #anca vasculitis is messy. IMHO #amgen should be forced to withdraw & do another registrational trial. If not, they should be forced to do a PASS under a REMS. Finally was ava rolled out in Japan during a high #covid period -> VBS was due to virus+/-drug?

The mission vs margin piece in AAMC was interesting, but history says that if the margins of an operation are the thinned out, then only one mission will be invariably prioritized : staying alive or stated in other terms chasing the volume & the margin.

Interesting. The minimizers seem to be finally losing control of the narrative at WHO, as the enormous number of lives wasted by the mismanagement of the pandemic gets too large to hide. Hopefully this means the individuals responsible will finally be thrown out - but the systems failures remain.

Odds ratios have so many problems that they should simply be banned. Relative Risks all the way

Cloned a repo that used SLURM & instead of cosplaying my 2 dual socket workstations as a cluster, I released the Copilot Kraken to rewrite it to use numactl & #rstats parallel in a single machine. This is what chatbots were made for. Keeping slurm for the actual home cluster tho

Fascinating that MAGA, conspiracist fruitcakes, libertarians, certain elements of the CC community are floating lockdowns about the #hantavirus. #udou people, N95/NPI work, quarantine of cases & contacts work; I'm not going to ruin my summer worrying about this because all common sense is lost […]
