Geez man. What do you call this? (I just made up this test)

Asking Gemini flash "I have 12 dogs. A third of them have an average of 2 puppies each. How many dogs do I now have?" And getting back the correct answer with working (20).

I recently became half owner of this thing (no I'm not a billionaire, it cost me less than 2 sets of tyres). Moreton Bay here we come.

There's an irrational group think going on here, where a bunch of grieving humans reinforce each other's anger and denial. AI is not "all evil" and there are far bigger problems. We need specific, rational solutions to address specific problems. Sweeping genaralisations don't help.

The #FOAMEd peerpocus.net now includes discussion threads... because it's all about the discussion, right? If I may say so there is cracking set of #tamponade and #efast #pocus questions. The discussion threads are the first step in enabling quality assurance on the questions. You can help!

I miss the old ABC. It used to be very good.

So the work on peerpocus.net/questions continues. I added an index now to make it easier to pick-out a set of #eFAST #POCUS questions to test your knowledge on. Feedback welcome! #FOAMEd

Sigh. Ad hominems unhelpful. Yes data centres will go from 1.5% of electricity use to 3%. Meanwhile we ignore utterly useless sources of wasteful energy use

right - interesting!! I looked up wikipedia out of curiosity! Archer won on a margin of 1.43% - It's hard to tell if these actually came from voters that voted Greens #1 or independent, Lambie or ONP (these are all more likely to support the Torries than Greens voters are).

Just between you and me, I don't think most of my followers are real people 😉

This isn't true. Not a defense of Israel but facts matter.

wohh... the cat and mouse game between those trying to make #ai #llm models behave and those whispering at them to be naughty is quite a thing.... apparently this is how you get metas latest model to give you a recipe you shouldn't want.

Not wanting to dilute your message, which is great, but 2 is at the low end of CF ratios. The upshot of this is that we need to go harder and faster on renewables. Capacity is easier to quantify but tends to overstate the momentum and we cannot afford complacency.

I posted this in 4 years ago, on the bird site. The orientation associated with the most anterior tube tip location (pink) is slighted yawed enabling the tube to pitch down proximally, and thus pitch up distally. Rolling the tube (orange & blue) lowers the tip. ( @chrimesy.com FYI)

Related to this, is the need to better explain the adverse impact of bending the tracheal tube over the upper teeth. So I made an online tool that trainees can use on their phones. erichbschulz.github.io/tubebend/

There's easy gains to be made by better decomposing the the geometry of tube insertion into the three distinct axes of rotation. Descriptions that state "advance from the right" and "rotate" are confusing and ambiguous, oversimplifying reality leavin trainess to figure out the optimal orientation

I believe we can improve #intubation success rates for non-anaesthetists. Even with video laryngoscopy, first pass success rates are too low outside of operating theatres.
