yeah i know a lot of burned out doctors that lament they didn't go into tech, but most of them struggled with biostats...
Yeah but it's getting expensive now lol i might have to stop getting so trigger happy tossing these dimes around
Guy a year above me got BS econ, BS math, MS statistics, MS computer science and PhD in business in 6 years at Stanford. He had to petition to take classes for fewer units as he was exceeding the quarterly limit.
Super nice, never had to study, always having a great time chilling in the lounge during finals. He's a professor at Cal->UPenn now.
I remember working with my friend on a math problem for an hour then I knocked on his door and he smiled and answered the question before I finished telling him the problem.
Kind of reminds me of the story Jeff Bezos tells of his friend Yasantha Rajakarunanayake who made him realize he was never going to be smart enough to be a physicist.
Yeah in the end we're still seeing incremental improvements. Their biggest issue will be grabbing users and mindshare from OpenAI and Google
Pretty amazing to achieve SOTA status after starting barely 2 years ago... Elon is a genius motivator (sounds exhausting really.. i would move to Meta and quiet quit).
Interesting perplexity just announced their browser today: https://comet.perplexity.ai/
Rather sad that I would probably get a zero on Humanity's Last Exam unless it were multiple choice...
$40 for $50 starbucks gift cards (slickdeals link) if you have amazon prime...
hard to beat this deal, just sent a few gift cards to people, doesn't seem to be a limit.
Yeah, by definition MRSA is resistant to that generation of penicillin drugs (Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus, vs MSSA which is Sensitive).
Better hygiene wiping down / cleaning BJJ/wrestling mats would probably help. But it's just really horrible luck. Millions of kids wrestle every year and rarely you'll get a superficial cellulitis that doesn't cause complications and is easily treatable.
I suspect him being super healthy led to delaying seeking help. We see this sometimes with kids who are super resilient and eyeball well right until they suddenly decompensate and are at the brink of death. Combined with what I presume is a particularly resistant strain that persisted despite initial course of empiric antibiotic treatment.
Apparently he got a MRSA blood infection (presumably from skin given he coaches wrestling) that got really bad and I presume led to septic emboli his lungs. Was on ECMO for some time. Pretty insane to see that happen to someone so healthy.
This is why Chinese Cars will take over- $35k, 835 km range, lots of tech and even a mini fridge lol
Looks like wrestling GOAT and MMA bitcoiner Ben Askren got his lung transplant. Crazy for someone so young and in such peak of his health to end up on ECMO like that. Gotta wonder if he had a succession plan for his bitcoin in place...
