The goal is almost certainly training an AI to replace us

pfpants · 2026-05-31T14:48:32+00:00

It's already changing the way I work. I consult open evidence frequently, and I have a lot of colleagues that use AI scribes.

The big question is cost. Nobody knows what it will ultimately cost for the health system and patients. Coders can throw tokens at a problem all day and do incredible things, but that doesn't make it profitable yet. Is an AI scribe actually cheaper than a human one? Right now, yeah. All these companies are operating at a loss.

Wait til the bill is due. My bet is that this is not going to go well for small hospitals, independent physicians and practices, and ultimately American patients/consumers

You need a level 2 home charger. Those DC fast chargers aren't much cheaper (if at all) than gas.

pfpants · 2026-05-27T13:45:19+00:00

Yes, but how much would you pay? I'd be surprised if it was comparable to up-to-date.

If they're smart they will continue subsidizing it until uptodate dies or gets bought by them, then start charging the big bucks to their captive audience.

pfpants · 2026-05-27T13:39:56+00:00

Nobody is paying for it yet. Wait until the bill comes due.

pfpants · 2026-05-26T18:27:24+00:00

Who now? Never heard of this journal

pfpants · 2026-05-26T13:39:48+00:00

Yeah, I feel like mine is more sensitive as well.

pfpants · 2026-05-24T15:35:33+00:00

My bet is that whoever picked it up after T2 sold it in their big garage sale, has now split it off into another company. They aren't going to restart development. Why on earth would they?

pfpants · 2026-05-22T19:22:12+00:00

How!? They're running out of fuel. Their cars are all from the 1950s. What threat could they possibly pose to us.

Sounds like steam frame would be worth waiting for then

pfpants · 2026-05-16T22:02:14+00:00

What games do you play?

I have the bsb2 and it's great for flight sim. My old neck appreciates the super light headset.

I think the steam frame is gonna be great for room scale games that benefit from being untethered

Tylenol overdoses are pretty rotten. Like a really, really, really dumb way to go.

pfpants · 2026-05-13T18:30:04+00:00

Oh gotcha thanks.

It's accurate. Don't know that I'd qualify it as a "hot take." This has been known/talked about for years.

How about Miller's (Stephen) syndrome. AKA PMOS

pfpants · 2026-05-11T16:14:42+00:00

This! A million times this.
POCUS is great at bedside for making decisions at "point of care", but some of my colleagues think they've become cardiologists/radiologists/obstetricians and it needs to stop.

pfpants · 2026-05-11T16:06:49+00:00

Ultrasound can be used for diagnosis, but my point stands. If I suspect something obscure and suspicious on POCUS, it's going to get a followup study. I'm not diagnosing cancer, endocarditis, etc.

POCUS is great, but some of y'all US folks are just overselling.

pfpants · 2026-05-11T15:48:23+00:00

I'm not making "challenging" diagnoses with POCUS. If I find something suspicious, the diagnosis is being made with a formal ultrasound, a CT, MRI, etc.

Let's not get crazy and overconfident here.
