- Reposted by Albert Jan van HoekStudy in Nature: “Across 30 out of 32 evaluation axes from the specialist physician perspective & 25 out of 26 evaluation axes from the patient-actor perspective, AMIE [Google Medical LLM] was rated superior to PCPs [primary care docs] while being non-inferior on the rest.” (& AIME is an older LLM)
- Hope is a combination of a desire for a positive outcome plus a sense of probability. To make a global peaceful collaboration more probable please invest some time in SCAP. A Sustainable Collaboration and Alignment Protocol. albertjanvanhoek.github.io/Evolution-by...

- Trump & Musk are destroying the government, democracy, planet, international trade, science, public health, social security, taxation. Etc. Stop listening, start thinking, and act! March for your life!
- I just laughed out loud about the latest actions of this duo Trump and Musk. It is such a duo. A rocket scientist who made his billions on climate tech and this conman who creates myths and beliefs in them himselves. And there is us. Voting for the conman, or believing in science and climate change
- Could you help me formulate a theory of unity? A framework for perpetual world peace. It should be a theory of which all, or aspects can be tested in simulation or empirical studies. The theory of unity can than serve as a blueprint for societies, communities, but also individuals.
- Eye opening speech by Jeffrey Sachs. Can't recommend it strongly enough to anybody who would like to understand the geopolitical situation around the Ukraine war, Europe and the US. m.youtube.com/watch?v=hA9q...

- Let's discuss about a way out of this conundrum. Priority 1. Protect what we have as democratic institutions. Priority 2. Talk honestly about what is wrong. As I do believe fellow people are angry with "the system" for a valid reason. The solution should be achieved within our democracy.

- There seem only two groups left: those who see the government as an entity that needs to be dismantled (us and them narrative), and those who see the government as a part of democracy, of us, of the people (us and us narrative).

- Come on people! This is getting too grotesk. How crazy do these 2 jokers have to make it, until we realize it is just 2 of them against the rest of the planet. I love this planet, I love you people, I love science, I love collaboration and I love a laugh. This is a joke. US takes Gaza 😂 LOL
- Are LLMs good at generating R code? According to a recent study (arxiv.org/pdf/2410.07793), they perform worse compared to other languages, possibly due to less training data for R. The split in syntax between tidyverse and base R, along with the many specific packages.
