They have definitely had third iterations of things, but have they called them 3?

I mean there are at least 5 half-life games, they just called the third one 1 and the fourth 2 and the fifth wasn’t numbered.

I’m starting to wonder if a mailpit instance is a bad idea. Just a page you go to where any email goes, make sure it’s not externally accessible.

I loved the touchpad as joystick in the valve games (portal, halflife). But as soon as you got to other games, for some reason it didn’t work as well.

I still have my steam controller (and it still works), but normally use an xbone controller.

I am keen to try one of these out though, they said 2026 so there’s a good chance it will be delivered this decade.

You’re supposed to empty the bag/catchment.

Which is your favourite of the set?

Don’t forget unique email addresses. I’ve had two spam emails in the last 6 months, I could trace them to exactly which company I gave that email address to (one data breach, one I’m pretty sure was the company selling my data). I can block those addresses and move on with my life.

My old email address from before I started doing this still receives 10+ spam emails a day.

I may have misread but it seems the article says the records are qualify as public records and so can be requested by anyone.

That’s not the same thing as public domain, unless I’m mistaken.

Yeah but the advertisers don’t want to be associated with that language so he’s gotta censor it.

The command line looks like a lot of typing, but with ctrl+r and tab I barely type anything.

As someone who finds puddles on the floor, bin, and spray up the wall: pretty sure you learn through trial and error.

I guess I don’t really understand where they might fit in to an emergency room scenario. My experience with Nurse Practitioners is as a person that can take on some basic GP tasks to lighten the load.

For example, on of my kids has asthma and uses a regular inhaler. Instead of taking doctors time, they can book you in with the Nurse Practitioner to get a new prescription. That makes sense to me.

I do see that here, Nurse Practitioners are given a much wider scope including being able to assess test results and make a diagnosis, though I didn’t exactly read all the material thoroughly (heaps on info in the downloads on the right on this page, in case someone reading is interested).

It does say they need 4 years of experience and 300 hours of clinical learning (from what I can tell, they decide they want to be a Nurse Practitioner and they enter a programme of focused learning in a clinical setting). This seems at least more than what is required where the other user lives so I feel a little better, even if 300 hours is only like 7 weeks, at least they need that 4 years of experience 😅

Ooh I think this is better:

Honestly, he looks a lot like Cage!

Here’s my attempt:

I think we might overestimate how qualified a junior doctor is after doing all the exams. This article (from 2009, well before LLMs) says junior doctors screw up in 8% of prescriptions they write, with half of the mistakes “potentially significant”. This is after any chance at having a supervising doctor review. It says pharmacists generally save the day by spotting the errors.

I also found local numbers showing about 16% of junior doctors never make it through training (the article is saying it’s actually 40%, but 16% is their “normal”). That will include burnout and other reasons for not continuing, but I’m pretty sure with such a decent proportion of people dropping out you can expect the ones that haven’t taken in enough understanding despite passing their exams are commonly dropping out as part of that group, and though LLMs may have increased the pool I doubt we can assume these people make it through training without learning what they need to know. Becoming a doctor is just so intense that it doesn’t seem likely.

As has been pointed out by someone else, our concern should probably lie in those that pass exams then go on to do medical (or other) roles without any supervision period.

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a Nurse Practitioner without knowing exactly what the outcome would be, and realistically that does take a lot of burden off doctors so long as they correctly recognise what they should and shouldn’t do.

I expect that rules will catch up with the existence of LLMs, the problem is for those few generations that have to live through the transition period…

Oh great. Just what I wanted to hear.

These Nurse Practitioners are presumably already required to be highly skilled nurses? Please tell me that’s true 😑

It’s not but the linked paper I responded to doesn’t mention LLMs?
