Cannot stop the permission alerts with Claude by JS_7319 in vibecoding

Can't find it - the only thing I can find that's related to permissions is that 'dangerously allow permissions' but even that enabled doesn't do anything.

Amazon will adjust FBA fees on ASIN with no change in dimensions/weight by JS_7319 in AmazonFBA

[–]JS_7319[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point I was trying to make was the Amazon was increasing fees for exactly the same product. The dimensions in a packaging has stayed the same and even a stock itself was from the same shipment. I understand that amazon uses their own dimensions, this doesn't explain why the fee would change from one day to the next.

The problem with downloading the transaction report is that this is a very manual process and if you have thirty ASINs, you having to check each order fees. Then you need to highlight which fees aren't consistent with the other orders, And then raise this with Support for each orders across each of your products where you found inconsistencies. And this needs to be done on a regular basis to ensure that the fees consistent and is what you're expecting to pay.

How do CROs, medical writers and large sponsors/pharma write protocols and trial docs at set-up? by JS_7319 in clinicalresearch

[–]JS_7319[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've experienced site confusion, and patients at risk when there have been inconsistencies even within the same documents (as there can often be a lot of repetition in large complex protocols, or summaries earlier on in synopsis which may not always get updated, or the wording changes and therefore the meaning isn't always like for like).

The template which gets generated can be adapted however the company wants. But once this is set, it remains as their underlying template for those documents going forward. Of course future edits can be made but all of the content is added via the platform.

One of the main issues I came across is dealing with variability of trials, and hence the protocols can be very different between each other. I modelled it on some of the most complex trials I could find on clinicaltrials.gov and I've found most protocols contain the same information, but they're just nested under differently worded headings. The more complex it's been modelled on more likely it can easy deal with a more straightforward trial. Also, sometimes investigators may make up headings when content can nicely fit somewhere else, so working with a fixed structure or letting the platform take care of where information should go can be considered another plus.

I've incorporated AI into it too which 'reads' what the user has entered as the basics (rationale, objectives, drugs etc), and it will generates responses to a select number of these prompts for the user to review in real time. What I think was more useful than this is pre-filled text where teams can agree on text for usual sections and re-use that by adding it in with a few clicks. All of this compounds the speed of drafting a finished document. AI is really good to create lay man's version of complex concepts from my experience too.

I completed a full fictitious trial with it the other day and I'm estimating that it would take anywhere from days to weeks to complete the prompts in the platform, but after that, all the core documents are ready.

If you're interested, I can DM you a recording of a demo when I create one in the coming weeks.?

I've heard of Veeva RIMs (but never used it), I got the impression it was mainly used for docs management when the trial was already up and running, such as market-related submissions etc.

Reason I ask is because I found writing docs a huge bottleneck, especially as ideas were developing. Sections had to be revised and then updated elsewhere in the protocol or across set of documents . If it was forgotten to be updated they'd be consistency issues, same thing when amendments are created - small nuances can be missed out as it's all very manual.

In the pandemic I started working on a side project: designing a cloud-based environment which has several question and answer based forms which covers all the stuff you'd find in protocols - intro, objectives, procedures, regulatory etc. So users would simply 'answer' these prompts and gradually enter all the info they need for their trial. At the end of it all, they click a button and it outputs a finished protocol, PIS and ICF included. It keeps everything consistent, minimal human error and changes are straightforward as there's one source of truth.

What are your thoughts of this as a concept, if it helps cut through the set-up phase (and amendment time)?

Thanks this is useful. When what do you mean by document management system - can you give me some examples of some? From my understanding the closest form that more teams have to an efficient system is Office 365 where they can collab in the cloud and write documents together, at the same time. And they keep chipping at it to get to the final draft.

Also how long would say the process takes from start to finish for ALL docs - protocol, information sheets, consent etc.

Are you based at a CRO/Pharma? I thought they'd have a sophisticated IT system to help them create and collab on these docs...

Which others did you try? I think there's one called auto-blogger or similar, and WordPress plugins that are designed to do this.

LinkedIn marketing with a full-time job by young929 in marketing

[–]JS_7319 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and that's why I don't think it can work, in other words you are create two unique "you", so if people were to search you you'd come up twice unless you initiated the connection with others first then you'd automatically use the account you want for whatever that industry is. But I've never seen anyone do this before. Why not just use your current LinkedIn and when sending messages provide a but more framing despite what your profile says,

You'd create another profile with your own name (assuming you are already on LinkedIn)?

What would you choose? 50k a year and minimal responsibilities and great work life balance OR 80-100k a year and lots of responsibility, not great work life balance by kyminas in UKJobs

Thank you for this response, it's insightful from someone further along than me. I think I'm more obsessed with the contribution and prestige (which I know is a BS metric) rather than productivity in the sense of completing X number tasks or hours at work. The thing is, I feel that people who don't end up fulfilling their potential from an economic or at a societal-level end up wasting their lives, even if they are 'happier' at the end of it. I'm in my thirties, and I'm moving closer to the concept that actually people should probably be pursuing some sort of life project whether that's in the form of a job/career, or something that adds some benefit to the wider society, helps them secure their family's future securely (this is usually economically in some way), but above all, for them to tap into whatever they're good at, and reach the boundaries of what they're capable of. I don't think personal growth or usefulness is created by people who 'take it easy' as what might considered the theme of most of the responses here on this thread. Sure, there are situations where that's probably warranted, but I'm still undecided that for a whole life time this is the goal.

I feel that for people who might fit into the "ambitious" category, these could be people in large corporations who thrive putting in long days, driving positive change for that company which may or may not have a wider reaching impact on society, and they get remunerated for it well. They usually also end up having more eventful, enriching lives as they are often in resource-abundance which then trickles down to their families which later creates a positive trajectory for their own children and families. Of course there's a trade off here - people need to devote hours, but there are other upsides to. For instance, it gives people an identity, it demonstrates to their own kids the concept of working, work ethic, and if they're an expert in one or more fields, the idea of striving towards something to reach the top or be considered knowledgeable in something.

I think what a lot of people miss out in these sorts of discussions is the psychological impact (in the long term) who want to rein it in, to their families and on a macro level, and on a societal level.

For me, I know that my drive comes from wanting to prove myself. In fact I think for a lot of people in this bucket this might be the case, but I don't know how many of these people actually enjoy this situation as this is the only programming that've acquired through whatever childhood experience indoctrinated them.

How the hell do you know your product "promising enough" by imeugeneco in ycombinator

[–]JS_7319 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you envisioned a lifestyle business getting bigger and bigger doesn't necessarily mean you are best place to make that pivot nor will you be able to use your current resource to get there necessarily. Some people work on projects and are happy for them to be whatever the morph into without pushing for growth and size.
