Possibly the biggest regret of my life is that I skipped this show because I had an exam the next morning

I suppose it’s worth a try, but idk how you find common ground with people whose fundamental belief system is that anyone with expertise and credentials is a liar

Why do people (OP, not you) screenshot articles without providing a link or even saying where it’s from? Are we supposed to recognize the font or something?

counterpoint, sort of: the pretest probability of a new NBA owner being an awful Trumper is pretty high

Winning is priority #1, and we need to stay healthy, so we're running back the old and injury-prone roster that won 37 games last year.

Between this and the gutting of AHRQ, it has not been a good week for those of us who once hoped that data could be used to improve health and our health care system.

Rest in peace, “evidence-based medicine”, dead at the age of 35 from a terminal case of hypocrisy exacerbated by an acute attack of mindless contrarianism.

Not at all. Did Rick Hahn make this move?

Sumant Ranji @sumantranji.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

absolutely not. whatever the flaws of the US system, basing college entrance on a single exam is far worse. among other things, it would be much harder for students with disabilities to attend college.

The point may not be that OE or UTD AI are "worse" but that different models are better for different use cases - which goes along with my clinical experience. IMHO general models are better for diagnostic questions (which tend to be broader), OE is better for management ?s (generally more specific)

Sumant Ranji @sumantranji.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

But doctors use OE for quick answers to diagnosis and management questions, not deep dives or communication. So the findings may in part result from testing irrelevant use cases. Also, doctors are aware of the limitations of OE and LLMs in general - see our preprint: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

Very interesting paper. Will have to digest it more but on a brief look, the differences seem to be driven by OpenEvidence and UpToDate AI falling short in the subdomains of communication, response depth, and completeness, with only minor differences in medical knowledge-->

OKC had an embarrassment of riches already, then Chicago and Philadelphia gave them two good players for essentially nothing.

I was interviewed by the @wsj.com about the (very common!) practice of uploading medical records to ChatGPT and the like: www.wsj.com/tech/ai/heal...

When you connect health data to a chatbot, you get results. But you must understand the risks.

Don't think they can rely on Draymond to be a core player any more

Writing off Matas at this stage is insane, after two years of playing for a clueless organization

Great article. To this point, I’m worried that the absence of a regulatory pathway will lead to a Wild West of DTC providers.

Sumant Ranji @sumantranji.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

what's amusing about this is that Shawn Marion himself famously felt unappreciated - something that Kerr knows, since he was the Suns GM when Marion demanded a trade!

Sumant Ranji @sumantranji.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Thee Parkside is also closing. Two of the best venues in SF - or anywhere - gone. These moments are what is lost when small independent venues close. Watch the whole thing. youtu.be/xZFFG4HInCI?...

An unfortunate side effect of more media being statistically literate, I think. Fans are treated like rubes for liking players who aren’t analytics darlings

greenland, fine, but voters damn well should care about masked government thugs abducting and killing people, and it’s dem politicians’ job to get them to care. maybe that’s unfair but so is most of politics

Sumant Ranji @sumantranji.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Being abducted or murdered by masked government thugs does affect one’s standard of living, I think

Did they attack too early or was it just ridiculously easy for LaMelo to score?

unfortunately part of the issue seems to be that young people don’t drink. which is good for lots of reasons, but has the unintended consequence of kneecapping already struggling venues. no idea what to do about that either

amusing that Chet vs Wemby is being hyped as a "rivalry" when Wemby is clearly so much better. Which isn't a slight on Chet!

how concerned is the coaching staff and front office right now? do they still think this is a playoff roster or do they see the need for major changes?
