Research confirms a wider variety of gut contents provides better health... "By increasing the variety of your diet, you can improve your gut health and overall well being" (and) "A diet rich in these foods helps maintain microbiome diversity and can reduce the risk of several diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease"
People at large have still not learned to question what they hear from social media or what youtube influencers tell them. So this is a far cry. If anything, I feel the population getting more vulnerable to suggestion compared to the pre- smartphone era.
> Asked about “the pros” of ChatGPT by Jimmy Fallon on a December episode of “The Tonight Show,” Altman talked effusively about the tool’s use for health care. “The number of people that reach out to us and are like, ‘I had this crazy health condition. I couldn’t figure out what was going on. I just put my symptoms into ChatGPT, and it told me what test to ask the doctor for, and I got it and now I’m cured.’”
I've always believed, don't blame the tool for the user, but can't help but feel the sellers are a little complicit here. That statement was no accident. It was carefully conceived to be part of discourse and set the narrative on how people are using AI.
It's understandable that they want to tout their tool's intelligence over imitation, so expecting them to go out of their way to warn people about flaws may be asking too much. But the least thing to do is simply refrain from dangerous topics and let people decide for themselves. To actively influence perception and set the tone on these topics when you know the what ramifications will be, is deeply disappointing.
Check out the list of all CSS specifications [1], and then open any one of them and see how lengthy and elaborate each is. Then do the same for each version of the spec published over the last thirty years. Before you can start, you must read and understand all of this at a great level of depth. Still, specifications never tell the complete story. You must be aware of all the nuances that are implied by each requirement in the spec and know how to handle the zillion corner cases that will crop up inevitably.
And this is just one part. Not even considering the fully sandboxed, mini operating system for running webapps.
Everything in moderation. An understated benefit of fruit is their prebiotic nature which promotes a healthy gut. A lot of healthy eating advice is settling down towards one idea. Eat a wide range of raw and fermented plant food.
I thought radiologists need to know what to look for in order to diagnose something? Do they brute force every potential condition in the body that can be detected with an MRI?
Exactly, because an MRI is not a simple "shows problems" machine. It provides a very simplified model of certain aspects of the state of the body. We very often can't know if parts of that state are a health problem or not.
To my knowledge, studies have not shown any benefits of regular full body MRI's. You might find a problem, or you might find a non-problem and in the process of fixing it (aka operation / medication) you create a problem. Those two effects seem to balance out each other on average.
> I thought radiologists need to know what to look for in order to diagnose something? Do they brute force every potential condition in the body that can be detected with an MRI?
No, when they read a scan, they're supposed to read everything visible for every problem. Think of it this way: if you break your leg and they take an MRI, do you want the radiologist to miss a tumor because he was focused on the break?
About how many "parameters" do they evaluate roughly for a full body scan? And is one typically qualified to evaluate across the entire body or do they specialize in different areas of the body?
I don't know, but I've heard from doctors (many times, sometimes quite forcefully) that it's a radiologist's job to call out all abnormalities on the full image they get, and the reasoning makes sense.
I suppose a full body MRI would be very expensive and take a lot of time to read.
There have been reports of lidar damaging camera sensors. If it can damage sensors, it can damage retina. And unlike the sun, it's not visible. Someone could stare straight into it for a good while and not realize.
