Superb and infuriating piece by @UCSF colleague (& great writer) @LouiseAronson about how her mom's clear, documented wish to avoid aggressive care at the end of life was ignored by a medical team locked into a we-did-this-so-we-must-do-that spiral. @NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

On the occasion of the show's finale, this appreciation of Larry David and Curb Your Enthusiasm by @Wesley_Morris @nytimes is beautifully written and wildly insightful – it portrays LD as "Emily Post with boxing gloves." Worth the long read. @curb_david nytimes.com/2024/04/05/mag…

One of the best nights of the year @UCSF Dept of Medicine: music by our residents (and a few faculty) at my house. After a 4 year Covid hiatus, it's back. Pics: @BrentonDavis10, Lillian Peng, @audreyamadean. Video: the amazing @s_brond (me on piano; barking by Newman). So fun.

Monday, I spoke at the Emory-Georgia Tech Healthcare Innovation Symposium on the future of AI tools in healthcare, a very important topic of conversation as technology evolves. A couple of weeks ago, I posted a blog about the challenges of AI and harnessing its potential. Here’s…

So proud of my wife @katiehafner & team. In 2021, she & co-founder Amy Scharf had idea for a podcast highlighting women who made big contributions to #STEM but didn’t get credit they deserved. Today, that podcast, @LostWomenofSci, hit 1 million downloads! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/los…

This remains one of the most consequential experiments in AI: Bloomberg trained a GPT-3.5 class AI on their own financial data last year… …only to find that GPT-4 8k, without specialized finance training, beat it on almost all finance tasks. Hard to beat the frontier models.
