AI clinician trained to save humans from sepsis – and, er, let's just say you should stick to your human doctor
Tuesday 23rd October 2018 14:53 GMT 
Re: Maybe to computer was right
One of the problems that drug firms* have when bringing out innovative medicines** is that no doctor wants to take his/her patient off the "gold standard" onto a therapy unknown to them if the patient is generally stable or if the patient is at an immediate risk of dying. Obviously terminal cancer patients are an exception.
*I work for one
**Innovative is an overused word these days, but here I mean a "first in class" drug with a new "Method of Action"

A doctor can see how much hydration the patient needs and make an informed judgement, AI can't.
I'd have thought that it'd be an ideal usecase, you just take a few standard measurements (blood pressure, pulse, electrolytes etc.), "IO", make sure there are no contradictions (eg kidney problems) and go. It seems to me to be a much easier problem than the one they're trying to solve in this article.

Re: I swore Once
I told him he knew f*** all and that shut him up.Pub boss bought me a drink.
The point is that swearing CAN be effective when used in moderation.
I have a friend who's a cop in the UK; he said that one thing you have to learn is how to moderate your language. Oddly enough, in some situations "It's time to go home now" doesn't work and "Right you guys **** off now" works better. Of course the latter would get complaints if he tried it in Godalming...

Re: No mention of other medical kit
The devices probably only cost $20 to manufacture, but as soon as it goes into the healthcare system the price will be whatever a medical insurance company is prepared to pay for it.
There are the huge costs of clinical trails and then the time/effort/money of getting the devices approved by the regulators.

The cost itself (to update the devices) will be give one a heart attack (pun intended). Might as well announce the end-of-support and be done with it.
Those implants and associated hardware are keeping people alive, they can't just announce the end of support and wash their hands of the product.

Re: Add Sex and Race Normalization to the AI
Eventually you get to the point where you might as well just draw them out of a hat.
I've been involved in recruiting a few people over the years; generally the process is so long and painful that I wonder if just employing a random person with the chance they might be hopeless "costs" less than doing it "properly".

Re: "viable and tested emergency system"
>And just what would the passengers in 1st class do if the pilots ejected from a 787?
Swim probably. The Vulcan bombers didn't have ejector seats for all crew (there was an escape route though), I remember reading that once one was in trouble and the other "passengers" disabled his ejector seat as an "incentive" to save the aircraft.
The other reason why Vulcan crashes were bad -->

Oracle? On my server? I must have been hacked! *Penny drops* Oh sh-
Monday 8th October 2018 09:12 GMT
Re: Ah, the old days
Some lab instruments rely on a local Oracle (or SQL Server) instance. When the machine is provided by the vendor, often you only realise this because the machine is so slow... You'd be surprised how unwilling some of the instrument vendors are to moving this DB onto a proper server in the datacentre!

Re: why is it your problem?
I used to live with a primary school teacher in the UK, the situation is exactly as you describe. IIRC they had someone come on for half a day per week, which included working on the "server". I used to fix things on her laptop and "smart board" as they'd never get sorted otherwise.

Re: Does Russia think anyone believes them?
Well, there is that. But to paraphrase what my wife said the other day - in regards to the woman who died from the poisoning - "Who picks up a bottle they find on the floor in a park and sprays it on themselves?".
What has been reported (at least) says that a "vulnerable" guy found it, assumed it was perfume and gave it to his other half as a present.

Re: Marketing materials have echo
In practice I've found the most powerful technique is dumping contents of various enterprise DBs into SQLLite then gluing them together for hacking in Python and Numpy
This is what I tend to do too. Also, look into Pytables, it's excellent and very fast. Pandas can read/write the files too (although can create sub-optimal files sometimes compared to native pytables). I like creating well-indexed HDF5 files using Pytables and outperforming rather expensive databases :)
