Hospitals (and medical clinics) need to be evaluated differently. How well do they do prospectively, on index cases that you can compare from hospital to hospital, clinic to clinic, not on bulk statistics.Hospitals are evaluated on various metrics, especially their mortality rate. This metric shows how many people die after treatment at a facility. It is aimed at measuring the quality of care. But it created bad incentives.
Consider a scenario where a critically ill patient is admitted to a hospital. If the staff thinks the patient will likely die, they may take drastic measures to protect their mortality rate. This could mean refusing further treatment. Or, it could mean forcing the patient's family to transfer them to another facility. This decision often comes after the hospital has made the most money from its services.
By pushing out patients on the brink of death, these hospitals gain two benefits. They maximize their profit and lower their mortality rate. From a management perspective, this appears to be a win-win situation. The hospital maintains a prestigious status with an apparently low mortality rate. This also boosts its financial performance.
LLM users who want to prevent this form of attack should pay close attention during sessions for output that indicates a new memory has been added. They should also regularly review stored memories for anything that may have been planted by untrusted sources. OpenAI provides guidance here for managing the memory tool and specific memories stored in it. Company representatives didn’t respond to an email asking about its efforts to prevent other hacks that plant false memories.
A degree, especially a PhD, is like a badge, a shiny sticker that says, “I’m educated.” But here’s the kicker – this badge might not make you more productive or happier. In fact, less time in school and more time in the real world could be the real recipe for success.Imagine if we recruited professors not just for their academic credentials but for their real-world achievements. People who’ve actually built things that work, could revolutionize how we teach software engineering or entrepreneurship. But we’re not there yet. We’re still caught in a system that values form over function, prestige over practicality.
What global warming? This study doesn't seem to getting much mention in the mainstream news. Wonder why. It certainly doesn't look like earth is heading into a period of global warming, does it?
In nearly 80% of the regions of Dr Chrastil's brain, the volume of grey matter - tissue that controls movement, emotions and memory - decreased by about 4%, with only a small rebound after pregnancy.
But there were increases in white-matter integrity - a measure of the health and quality of connections between brain regions - in the first and second trimesters, which returned to normal levels soon after birth.
