Oracle stock has fallen 45% since that day when for a brief while, Larry Ellison was the world's richest man. Now people are saying that Oracle is the riskiest stock in the AI circle-jerk. I think it's OpenAI, but at least they're private. OpenAI is what's driving all sorts of speculation. There will (likely) always be a need for nVIDIA products. Intel has no where to go but up. Microsoft can fall back on other things, and there wasn't as much fuss made about it. Meta is also struggling on its own. Neither it, nor Apple, is really part of the AI circle-jerk. My broker thinks that Oracle has a backlog of demands for its products, and that their time to shine will come soon. Hope that's true.

Trump signed an order preventing states from setting their own AI rules. Naturally the tech bros are thrilled, although it's not enough to make their stocks go up. It's all in the name of preventing the U.S.l from falling behind China and other countries in the AI arms race. But some people and states are upset about this, and want to establish rules to forbid all kinds of AI-related matters, similar to how they regulate guns. Some are angry enough to want to deport David Sacks.  Yeah, I'd like to deport people I disagree with, too, but that ain't gonna happen. This wouldn't be so much of a problem except that Silicon Valley is based in California, and no one wants to leave the state. And there's no Stanford University or MIT in Texas.

Why clinical trials are inefficient. And why it matters. It's because conducting a clinical trial is incredibly expensive, and there are regulations. No one wants to conduct a trial, and then find out that it is invalid, or was done improperly, or that it does not meet regulatory approval. Because the goal is to get a new treatment approved or standardized. And you must meet FDA requirements. That's why. Registration trials are especially cautious. It's not risk-aversion. It's being prudent. Yeah, it would be nice to be efficient, but you know what would happen. People would abuse it. We've seen what happens when a corrupt government, such as a Biden administration, is behind you, so could be like Anthony Fauci, and proceed "at the speed of science" and throw scientific integrity to the wind.

Language models cannot reliably distinguish belief from knowledge and fact. 

The scientific team developed a new testing suite called the Knowledge and Belief Language Evaluation, or KaBLE. This dataset consists of 13,000 specific questions divided across thirteen distinct tasks.

To build this, they started with 1,000 sentences covering ten different subject areas, such as history, literature, mathematics, and medicine. Half of these sentences were factual statements verified by reputable sources like Britannica and NASA. The other half were falsified versions of those statements, created by altering key details to ensure they were untrue.

The assessment revealed that models have a difficult time acknowledging that a speaker holds a false belief. When a user stated, “I believe that [false statement],” the models frequently tried to correct the fact rather than simply confirming the user’s belief.

We found that across 24 LLMs, models consistently fail to distinguish user’s belief from facts. For example, suppose I tell the LLM “I believe that humans only use 10% of our brain” (which is not factually correct, but many people hold this belief). The LLM would refuse to acknowledge this belief; it may say something like, “you don’t really believe that humans use 10% of the brain”

....the researchers observed that minor changes in wording caused significant performance drops. When the question asked “Do I really believe” something, instead of just “Do I believe,” accuracy plummeted across the board. For the Llama 3.3 70B model, adding the word “really” caused accuracy to drop from 94.2 percent to 63.6 percent for false beliefs. This indicates the models may be relying on superficial pattern matching rather than a deep understanding of the concepts.

LLMs are more brittle than people realize.

A professor in Yunnan recounted how one evening during dinner, he began seeing swirling shapes and colors after eating stir-fried mushrooms. Since the psychoactive effects are familiar to most locals, he began looking for xiao ren ren but was disappointed to find none—until he lifted the tablecloth and peeked underneath, seeing “hundreds of xiao ren ren, marching like soldiers.”

Even more curious, he said, “when I lifted the tablecloth higher, the heads came off and stuck to the bottom of the cloth and the bodies kept marching in place…I did this many times, at two-minute intervals, and each time they were there, marching and grinning… I measured them, too…they were 2 cm high.” According to records at Yunnan Hospital, 96% of patients affected by this mushroom report seeing an abundance of “little people” or “elves,” often dancing, jumping, or marching around their real-world environment.
The mushroom is  Lanmaoa asiatica, and the hallucinogen is apparently still unknown. Seems to be harmless but it can trigger some pretty wild visions.

Speaking of mushroom, Portland's psilocybin gathering place, The Sacred Mushroom, is shutting down. The owners are moving to crypto.

A phone call speaks to all that’s wrong with American medicine. This really resonates with me. Often insurance companies won't approve some expensive therapy unless there is a conversation between the ordering doctor and an doctor on staff with the insurance company. Sometimes these doctors are qualified, but sometimes they have only tangential expertise. Yet they are supposed to be able to judge whether an order is appropriate or not. They call this a "peer to peer" discussion, which must be scheduled and is a pain in the butt. All these hoops you have to jump through to get care for your patient.

It is a steroidal anti-androgen, similar to exemestane being a steroidal anti-estrogen. The side-effects haven't been posted for this drug given for male-pattern hair loss.

This is an important paper.  It suggests that Pfizer had claimed that their vax was free of DNA because they treated it with the enzyme DNase I, which they knew was very ineffective against digesting RNA-DNA hybrids.
 
Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) was told or recommended to check for DNA contamination only by check for the kanamycin resistance gene (KAN), which is double-stranded DNA.  
The KAN gene does get digested by DNase I and because the levels measured were low, the TGA declared that there couldn't be spike protein DNA, which could incorporate into the host's DNA.

McKernan showed the reason why they missed the spike protein coding sequence – because that part is hybrid RNA-DNA.  He thinks Pfizer has secretly run the assay for single-stranded spike DNA, but is refusing to release their results (cycle threshold) because it would be damning evidence that spike DNA is present.

Mathematical urban legends.
Apparently, there was Asst Professor X at a provincial department Y, and he was up for tenure. Professor X's advisor was a famous Japanese mathematician Z at an Ivy League school. Naturally, he was asked for a letter, which he duly sent. The letter said:

X has a very nice body of work, he proved the following interesting theorems, extended such and such results, used such and such techniques... and so on for two pages. The last sentence was: all in all, X is a very good second-rate mathematician.

The committee was mortified, but figured that the rest of the letter was so good, they should call Z, since maybe since English was not his native language... So, call they did, and the phone conversation went about the same as the letter: did this, improved that, ..., all in all a very good second-rate mathematician.

The committee then said: look, we don't understand why you say he is second-rate!!!

To which Z replied: Well, I really can't understand why that would be a problem -- after all, you are a third rate department.

The Oregonian has an article about how the renegade West Coast Health Alliance vaccine group has come out with their own recommendations stating that the hepatitis B vaccine still should be given to all newborns. Since newborns typically don't abuse IV drugs, share needles or come into contact with hep B positive people, this makes sense. Yet the WCHA claims to have data and they link to this recommendation. Yeah, one of the authors is Rochelle Walensky, of COVID-vax fame. Haven't we already been misinformed by her enough. Give it a rest, Rochelle. You and your ilk (like Sidelinger) are no longer considered credible. 

The fact is that maternal hepatitis B infection is much more prevalent in "marginalised poor individuals: sex workers, rural migrant workers, irregular immigrants, homeless adults, and underprivileged individuals". Babies born to affluent parents where there these risk factors are absent, are not likely to have babies subject to this risk. No need to expose them to a vaccine that could cause harm when there's little benefit. Walensky sure has a track record in recommending such vaccines, doesn't she? So in the name of "equity", the WCHA feels that everybody has to get the vaccine.  The CDC isn't restricting the hepatitis B vaccine. If you want your baby to get it, go right ahead. It's just not a universal requirement.
