LLM Explains It All?

A company that interests me is Open Evidence. They use AI to collect authoritative medical research and process the information for presentation to physicians.

There’s a study that claims Large Language Models that aren’t medically specific generate results that are superior to Open Evidence. As you would expect, Open Evidence isn’t letting that claim go unchallenged.

In other medical information technology news, there’s a good, old-fashioned ransomware hack over at Amazon’s company, One Medical.

The Color of Wasted Money

There’s no getting rid of the slime. $14.2 million dollars spent for nothing. A fitting allegory for everything in the Trump administration.

Trump Ordered ‘American Flag Blue’ for the Reflecting Pool. It’s Green Again.

Where Were You in ’16?

Let’s wash out the bad taste of failed L.A. mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt with the ‘Happy Days’ theme song, performed by Truett Pratt and Jerry McClain.

The success of American Graffiti — “Where were you in ’62?” — motivated ABC-TV to pick up Happy Days as a series. ‘Graffiti’ celebrates a bygone era that was only ten years gone by. In between, the Sixties changed everything.

Ten years ago, Donald Trump was running for president. Today is Donald’s 80th birthday, and we’re stuck in the Trump doom loop.

25 47

What, you think that’s a reference to the 25th Amendment being invoked to remove the 47th president? No, I’m referring to the only passage in the Bible that is chapter 25, verse 47.

Leviticus 25:47

47 “‘If a foreigner residing among you becomes rich and any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to the foreigner or to a member of the foreigner’s clan, 48 they retain the right of redemption after they have sold themselves. One of their relatives may redeem them:

As relevant today as it was in Old Testament times! Leviticus is also, of course, the book of the Bible that’s quoted by opponents of gay rights.

Leviticus 20:13

“‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

The “put to death” part seems to be contrary to the Sixth Commandment, but what ev’.
