  • Actual article here is worth a read because I find when newspapers write about these articles, they miss the point hard.

    This actually has nothing to do with “memory”, but instead reading text. They studied 52 doctors responses to standardized (read publicly available online) cases written in front of them. Half got access to LLM. Neither group was significantly different.

    Then they ran 3 trials solely with LLM and find that these were significantly better.

    My thoughts: 1: Terribly small sample size overall, but would like to see more LLM numbers. 2: The primary purpose of this study was to explore if doctors are better with LLMs helping them. We’re not, and the authors discuss a very good point of “prompts matter”. 3: As is always my gripe with these kinds of things, written text translates to real patients extremely poorly. A computerized text interface is better at handling and responding to text patients. Human doctors are still better at treating human patients.



  • This is my third time coming across this topic today. I was waiting for additional information, but I wonder if there is any history there. Maybe the sheriff has been feuding with the family for a while and wanted to use this as an opportunity to exert dominance. Maybe they suspect the kid has truly been causing trouble and so are using this as an opportunity to track the kid and see.

    Overall, seems like an overreaction, especially in small town USA.





  • This reads the same as the conspiracy theorist bullshit we made fun of the Republicans for after 2020 election. Some hypocritical stuff here. Numerous reports have already come out stating no evidence of tampering. Same as in 2020.

    This part especially is a reach:

    Hundreds of people in swing states are reporting that their votes have not been counted or even have never been received, though they were dropped off/mailed on time

    How would people know if their votes are counted or not? In addition, there were no states that “hundreds” of votes will make a difference.

    Reading through this discussion and considering my own daily life, I find that indeed my utilization of smartphones is limited to primarily other existing advances in technology not directly associated with phones. Primarily Internet. In fact, I might be a bit abnormal because my 8 hours at work, my phone is not directly on my person and rarely used. I do, however, need to utilize it for 2FA authentication ~1-2 times per day. Which, digital personal keys were a thing before phones.

    So yeah, I’d say that smartphones aren’t a big advancement, but the combination of multiple other technological advancements.
