Saturday in MoHo
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.
…Friday from office to home, the first
No exercise today; took off around 2:30p for the drive home and made it back by 9p after heavy traffic.
…Thurs board games
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.
…Baldwin Hills, that's where I want to be
Managed to wring my body out between the rain. Leg lifts using the bbell squat rack at the office, and finished it with a run up in Baldwin Hills on the edge of Culver City.
The hill is just about dead center on the way from the office to Mayumi, and it sprawls up from warehouses into hills pumped by oil derricks. I’ll bet the oil money offset occupying a chunk of LA by developing the parks and trails. Wonderful place to explore.
…Rainy Tuesday, Regard Chow
Rainy day keeping me pent up / not lifting, and dinner with the Regardians ate the evening (Vicky’s All Day). Did get a small core workout done in the hotel room.
My thoughts have been circling round ChatGPT writing clinical notes. From what I understand, Bing Chat exposes the very same GPT-4 that Microsoft Nuance is entreating to write physicians’ notes. I believe that it’d be possible to understand the fire Microsoft toys with using applying existing synthetic test cases mapping patient data -> clinical notes; whether it has any potential.
