UNM receives 13.5 grant for BUNDLE & TOP-RURAL (also the first 900 participant RCT I co-lead and the first S.M.A.R.T protocol I had to write!). TOP-RURAL will investigate nutritional therapy, health coaching & remote monitoring for diabetes& hypertension) […]

So I finished my first "AI assisted" math paper. I spent around a) 120 dollars of my own tokens b) perhaps another 200 worth of tokens through my employer's bot c) 5 dollars on Gemini (which I got to get 400gb of Google storage) to transform a single page proof using elementary calculus to a 50 […]

Life sciences has been hallucinating facts and theories for a while and it is only through experimentation we learn. AI will just connect plausible, probable, factually false and truth statements into a grand hallucination. Live your Myth in Fable

To see why the AI math are not matching, ask any cheerleading botlicker about what the end game should look like. They will tell you subscriptions (which they value at $100/month). That is ~450B a year if we everyone gets one which is the size of the US home improvement industry.

One of the things that still to this day puzzle me is why statisticians don't deconstruct various AI tools to map them to existing constructs/models/methods of their trade. It would have become rather obvious that some (or even all) of the AI are rebranded statistical models, which in turn would […]

I never followed the genetic data on LP(a) but apparently there is so much moaning that it betrayed us (or rather the cardiologists and 2 pharmas) so I have got to ask: were the genetic data , garbage polygenic risc scores, mendelian randomization, or something equally worthless?
