In LA, worn out, and heading to bed. Bit of a shell, but a willing one.

Chest and tri’s tho I was low-range energy:

I’m headed down to Culver City in a few hours, working from LA this week. Looking forward to it, even with the rain.

CO is playing with Meta’s VR screen pass-through using Immersed: I’m hearing impressed ooo’s and aaa’s as she sits on the floor with her laptop en-Quested. And, the technology itself is super impressed, allowing your laptop to use the VR goggles as multiple screens. VR is a bit low-res, the inputs are touchy, and the Quest is bulky, but! considering this is basically v1 I’m quite impressed. I would like to replace my laptop with a light pair of glasses / goggles some day.

Sunny brisk day to be back home in MoHo.

Inwardly, I’m still reeling from my own realization of exactly what ChatGPT / LLMs are. I’m actually late to the party on this one, it’s an eiphany that’s already rocked a good chunk of the world over the last months (and those in the know over the last give years). Still, there is now a non-human on our planet capable of language and fluid reasoning. Every interaction / test of these LLMs blows me away, and I haven’t even attempted to push them yet. The damn thing is reasoning correctly.

No exercise today; took off around 2:30p for the drive home and made it back by 9p after heavy traffic.

Some olde hospital regulatory capture thoughts: there are workflows built into EMR’s and forced onto physicians by regulation detached from their clinical value. Healthcare maintenance alarms are infamously noisy to such an extent that they’re worthless. The oft-cited reason for the gap: the buyers are administrators solving for the regulation while ignoring the clinical impact. The healthcare provider gets incentive money from the JC for hitting the “standard”, a good chunk of which gets passed right through to the Cerners / Epics to pay for their solution.
