This is where it gets interesting : at a word size of 1 bit, multiplication is just logical and. So is all multiplication just logical conjunction? First principle derivation of probability as degrees of certainty rely precisely on this connection

Perfect example of an LLM output of coherent parts (sentences) summing up to an incoherent whole (paragraph).

Imagine this playing out at a larger scales by those who have adopted these noisy stochastic parrots at scale.

It is insane, that #Intel kneecapped i7's for scientific work. The 11th gen i7 offered the AVX512 instruction set which DOUBLED throughput compared to the 10th 7 the 12th gen. To get the same throughput that this i7 delivers in our RNAseq workflows, one has to pay $$$ for a Xeon

I have working examples of the #Perl + SIMDe marriage for the extreme portability aspect but also for quick performance tuning!

When my 14 y/o Twitter account was banned in 2024 after a hack, I lost all #meded posts. But in #slideshare, I found my 2017 presentation, the year after I started my off-label use of #sglt2i in kidney disease. I'm glad I got most things right back then

Can you guess what the fistulogram showed when the fistula (bruit in left) was sent for angiography?

The PCG on the right (different patient) is also telling. The Eko rocks

Farewell #RECOVER (I participated in the acute #COVID19 cohort).
It has been a great experience for me to see the resolution of post-covid sequelae over 24 months. Hopefully the new phase will deliver treatments to those who are still suffering.

So true - as someone who has to physically show up to work most of the time, I wish you could all stay at home.

@mikejohansenmd.medsky.social and myself said "class effect" 5 years ago when we put together a meta-analysis during the lockdowns

My view of the economics of the #sglt2i from 4 years ago - worth considering the cost figure
