There’s no reason to teach laypeople about every sequelae of metabolic syndrome. Most of these diseases, and MASH in particular, are just fructose toxicity. Teach people to stop eating added sugar and you won’t need to teach them any of these diseases.

The energy trajectory of AI data centers is more favorable than this. Training is very intensive but can be done offline during off peak and can utilize heat recapture. Inference has low latency reqs, but distillation is making it more energy efficient

Not entirely accurate; French uniforms in WWI, pantalon rouge, were meant to be flashy and to support the local dye industry. They were immensely impractical and got loads of Frenchmen killed in 1914

Google search returns responses in microseconds and costs a trillionth of a penny for retrieval. GenAI takes several seconds and costs likely ten cents per query. Including them would be like including librarians in search engine market share

I read it more cynically: cath labs are very good at harvesting reimbursable procedures, even though it doesn’t change outcomes relative to medical management. That’s a challenge for insurance coverage

Interesting that the risk of MACE3 was reduced but the risk of revascularization was not (significant). You can cure cardiac issues, but you’re still gonna get stented.

These GLP1RA cohorts are kind of nonsense, as they combine less effective drugs in the class (Trulicity, Victoza) with far more effective new drugs (Ozempic, Mounjaro).

Brenzavvy (bexagliflozin) costs $38 a month - stop prescribing insanely overpriced meds in the same class!

Totally agree. Seems like a classic case of increase sensitivity of diagnosis not increased underlying signal.

The legal definition of a refugee is largely at the discretion of the executive branch, as demonstrated by the recent revocation of that status for the groups you reference. True liberals, not rank partisans, support a broad definition of the term, not only when it applies to their preferred groups
