I would be curious to hear your opinion on this when you are closer to the end of your residency program. The way medical education programs are structured is inhumane, no amount of money would convince me to go through it in its current form (assuming a north american perspective). Source: most of my family are in medicine.

Congrats, great to hear a success story. I wish I had the time to do this too. How did you pitch to the publisher so they would find you during development? How did you find a publisher?

How is this different from using Gemini to summarize a video given a YouTube URL?

Perplexity markets itself as a search tool. So even if LLMs are not search engines, Perplexity definitely is trying to be one.

Still no word on where and how to buy these?

You can have both (and a cat while you're at it).

Have you tried doing things for others instead of yourself?

That's not what I'm insinuating.

Glad to see there are more developments in the Vesuvius challenge - it has been one of the most interesting things I've discovered on HN.

What framework/language did you use?

So... AI chat bots are more like humans in conversation than a survey or a list of pre-written questions?

Notably there is no "human control" category.

New comment by prashp in "Many FDA-approved AI medical devices are not trained on real patient data"

prashp — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 03:02:31 +0000

What's missing here is the risk of the medical device not performing as expected on real patients. These risks are usually mitigated reasonably by medical device manufacturers and designers such that it doesn't matter that "AI medical devices" are not trained on real patient data.

The FDA keeps a database of all adverse events reported by manufacturers or healthcare systems [1], so we can check in a few years if these AI medical devices are causing an uptick of complaints.

NAM uses pytorch for its NN implementation?

New comment by prashp in "Let's Write a Reverb (2021)"

prashp — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 01:37:39 +0000

I have tried NAM but with limited success in modeling some time-based effects (e.g. octave shifting). However, I have not tried to model reverb effects.

New comment by prashp in "Let's Write a Reverb (2021)"

prashp — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 00:34:38 +0000

Is it possible to model reverb using a neural network (e.g. wavenet or LSTMs) for real-time use? Is this what something like Neural DSP is doing under the hood?

It's called tea-tasting but doesn't include Fisher's exact test :(
