"But... Read more ›

В эксперимент мы шли с уверенностью, что ChatGPT хотя бы раз из пяти промахнётся с главным диагнозом. Не промахнулся. Пять из пяти: метаболический синдром, субклинический гипотиреоз, перименопауза, MGUS, статин-индуцированный рабдомиолиз. Ставка проиграна, но самое интересное оказалось не здесь.Модели разошлись сразу после диагноза. У ChatGPT провалилось то, что в клинической работе называется «что пациент делает в ближайшие две недели»: к каким врачам идти, какие обследования сдать до начала терапии (ПСА п Read more ›

В октябре 2023 года калифорнийский книжный клуб закончил читать роман Джеймса Джойса «Поминки по Финнегану» — все бы ничего, но разбор книги занял у участников обсуждения целых 28 лет. Произведение заслуженно считается нелегким чтивом, а многие литераторы называют его «непереводимым» — автор активно прибегал к полисемии, придумывал слова, встраивал в текст математические закономерности.Впрочем, двадцативосьмилетний разбор художественного произведения — скорее исключение из правил. В большинстве книжных клуб Read more ›

NBC News reports on a 16-person clinical trial of "personalized messenger RNA vaccines" which use the immune system to fight cancer cells.

It carries no solar panels, no rechargeable batteries. Just the slow, steady release of nuclear warmth, which diminishes by about 4 watts each year. After nearly five decades, that decline has become critical. During a routine... Read more ›
