@jeridansky I'm sorry you're going through this. What a blessing to have such a wonderful dad!

@chefraven Thanks for both the hugs and the love. Dad is still hanging in there as of now.

@pinhman @chris FYI this tool (and others based on whisper) are just local packaging of the same types of models making all the mistakes in medical transcription. (Whisper was made by OpenAI). It's certainly better for privacy than sending it to one of the big genai providers, but it has the same issues with accuracy that make it inappropriate for medical transcription.

@CiaraNi Thanks so much, Ciara!

@jeridansky as you probably already know, dying works on its own timetable. I flew back to my father twice.

@jeridansky oh Jeri, I’m so sorry you’re having to say goodbye. It sounds like you have very good care for him and are making plans to visit. hang in there, I’ll be thinking of you in these coming difficult days.

@BobHorowitz And these were the admission documents for the place he just got discharged from! (The third time worked fine.)

@kiesa Thanks! Things are moving along well! He should be leaving his rehab place to go home later today, and hospice is being arranged.

@tc_morekindness Definitely moving in the right direction!

@firefly Thanks! If he isn’t going home after two days in the hospital he’s going to be mighty peeved.

@jeridansky Phalaenopsis orchids!

@scottwilson When I was in PA training, I experimented with using LLMs for studying.We had a lecture on blood clotting medications. Can't remember the details, but I asked ChatGPT about using medication in a situation where the blood is too thin... It recommended to use a blood thinning medication in this scenario. My theoretical patient would have fucking died!!! I stopped using it after this.I'd like to say LLMs have moved forward since, but glue pizza and rock eating proves otherwise .

@HamonWry Legal was my metric for absolutely glacial movement , but having been working on & waiting for international work visas / passports, in fact, immigration is impressively slower than the law, like refrigerated molasses if a food metaphor is helpful.
