NAC is now a pretty common intervention for alc hep -- by definition post drinking -- so I would bet the mice data doesn't translate.

This is not the mechanism by which caffeine promotes wakefulness.

In the context of TFA, what hypothesis makes much more sense to you than what alternative?

This was using equipment in the emergency department of our state's only L1 trauma center and comprehensive stroke center; I presume it was decent as far as medical monitoring equipment goes.

Interesting. As I noted above (though typo O2 -> CO2), I used the same technique you describe, which I learned in free diving, and was not able to get below 98%, at altitude.

In many people a momentary drop to the 80s or even below is not an emergency or anything close to it. Not saying that it is good. Someone that is awake, sitting up, and struggling to breathe should be considered an emergency regardless of

One a friend and I hooked ourselves up to continuous pulse oximetry and had a contest to get the lowest recorded oxygen level. We tried everything we could think of, from just holding our breath to end-expiratory breath holding to hypervent

Almost certainly plays a role. Also increased activity levels due to better less fatigue. Certainly is not defeating thermodynamics, assuming calorie absorption is not disrupted somehow it's likely the above.

Similar data?! We have wildly heterogeneous data just within the US! And again, how exactly is this interface going to work? How does the AI determine how hard to press on an abdomen, and where, and how does it press there once it has that

Several of those are more procedures than labs. Of course you can't get someone to do a procedure on you for free. Arterial sticks and biopsies may have nontrivial risks (and commensurate liability risk for the performing provider).

I would love to hear of any specific example, I will happily either show you how to order it or learn something myself.

How is training on bad data going to give you better results than the current system? What kind of embedding helps the AI learn to do a physical exam? Not to mention patient privacy, I can't even take a still photo of a patient in my c

So why not order your own labs? I'm sure you can think of ways to get your own medications if you are sufficiently convinced that this is the best course of action for your health.

Unfortunately the training data is absolute garbage. Diagnostic standards in (at least emergency, but I think other specialties) medicine are largely a joke -- ultimately it's often either autopsy or "expert consensus." We ge

I'm still fairly new to local LLMs, spent some time setting up and testing a few Qwen3.6-35B-A3B models yesterday (mlx 4b and 8b, gguf Q4_K_M and Q4_K_XL I think). Was impressed at how they ran on my 64G M4. It looks like this new mode

I strongly disagree. If it's doing well enough for the owner then it's doing well enough. I don't understand how one can tell someone else that their computer is unacceptably slow for that other individual's personal use

Did this many years ago (but with bash) -- life changing is an apt way of saying it.

A ton more conflicting keybindings. I switched away from tmux a year or so ago due to one crash I kept getting, but thinking of going back. Really miss the simplicity.

Is this related to the popular and longish-standing Rust tool for the same purpose? I expected to see it referenced somewhere in the readme... < https://github.com/esp-rs/espflash >

I can't imagine this taking strong hold in the US unless it shields physicians from legal consequences of false negatives or produces enough false positives to ensure revenue doesn't fall. I don't see any way that the hospita
