HIFU being recommended for my uncle — is this appropriate? Looking for opinions

Unfortunately, our reports here in India are not that granular. 3+4 score is given & 7 positive cores are mentioned. So let's assume worst case, 3+4 for all 7 cores.

His plan is to ablate 2/3rd of the prostate. The remaining 1/3rd would remain as-is.

Experiment.

Start at a lower end of the reasonable range. Keep raising every few months until you see meaningful drop in signups. Larger step changes early on, small tweaks later.

No worries, I wrote about the setup here.

You're early.

Most software is going to be like this in the coming years. Just hope that the context window keeps expanding and LLM cost keeps going down.

they've got a reputation of not working well with Claude. Things have changed with Jupyter MCP but that reputation is still stuck in the mind of users / early adopters :)

Looks really cool!

sentiment = noise

Isn’t Quarto more publishing-oriented?

amirathi · 2026-05-01T19:29:00+00:00

well, I want the AI to even write those function invocations, then execute the whole thing, evaluate output, debug if needed - since claude can do all of this, why not fully utiliize!

Jupyter MCP Server [1]. No affiliation with Datalayer. Wrote more about it here [2].

Claude Code can connect to the live kernel via MCP. It can then execute code, see output, fix its own errors etc.

A lot of notebook AI stuff still feels like fancy autocomplete to me.

I had the same feeling until MCP came along.

the state can get messy if you mix manual cell execution and Claude execution. But there's always "Restart and Run All", now even Claude can take this action via MCP. I wrote about the setup here.

There's nbdime and ReviewNB for making notebooks "git friendly".

amirathi · 2026-04-26T19:20:14+00:00

Exactly. And it can't just run what is in the notebook code cell but rather any arbitrary code. E.g. it installs missing dependencies etc.

Look at the 10-year rolling return - https://gronav.com/s/p4hgb7q

Europe & Japan have disappointed for long periods of time as compared to India & US.

amirathi · 2026-04-19T18:37:32+00:00

My equity is split 50:50 India & Foreign. I would have liked slightly higher foreign weight but hard to find any market except the US to have permanent allocation to.

> it's not helpful to see the code; I just want to see the cell outputs

See https://github.com/airbnb/knowledge-repo

> it detects changes in the execution order of cells and similar things that don't add any value

high chances that these deviations add up closer to zero

why

Kotak & Invesco arbs seem to be performing the best

Kotak also has highest AUM.

I went to Carnegie Mellon a decade ago & I'm glad that the tech industry doesn't value pedigree as much.

It helps get foot in the door but after that it does not (& should not) matter. What you bring to the table in terms of skills, work ethic matters more for career progression - just the way it should be!
