This is interesting to me given that another factor seemingly correlated with dementia is the bacteria that causes gingivitis. The obvious speculation for a naive layman like myself is if dementia is simply driven by cumulative damage done to the brain by infections pathogens over the course of one’s life.
I think you'd be incredibly surprised how often charts are super, super incomplete or wrong. Like "pt has no pancreas and presented with pain and weeping from a 6yo pancreatectomy scar" but the chart doesn't mention the surgery or the entire missing organ wrong. Like "pt is a twin whose sibling died traumatically of cancer in front of them a year ago and presents with probable hypochondria about cancer" but the chart doesn't mention any family history wrong. Like "lifelong history of severe cognitive impairment substantiated by a psych eval; attended annual physical before being sent to imaging for head trauma because of observed impairment" but the chart doesn't mention cognition (someone was too polite to note it) nor the psych eval (records sharing wasn't allowed) wrong.
Those are a very few examples off the top of my head. I worked in EMR. I don't know shit about medicine, but man, do I know a lot about the complaints physicians and their staff send when they think it's the records system's fault that the chart was wrong or missing info.
In a big chunk of cases, the MD/NP/whatever's in-person role is determining what's not on the chart so that they can then ask appropriate follow-up questions. Given the massive range of possible dx for a given issue, and how much of getting the right dx doesn't have to do with probabilities/numbers of similar patients with the same symptom:dx data that'd be in the training set, I have major doubt that an LLM can appropriately intuit or appropriately question in order to diagnose.
They aren’t objectively incorrect. You are conflating two things:
- You aren’t considered to have a fever until you get to 100.4. Anything less than that isn’t considered a fever, let alone a concerning one
- A fever isn’t considered concerning (ie dangerous) until it reaches about 104. Anything between 100.4 and 104 is just a regular fever and isn’t considered concerning.
I don’t think “the idea that our hero could be--gasp--a person of NON-royal lineage!” was even in the top 10 of the biggest issues people had with that movie.
It was at lease top3 though, with "the casino interlude didn't advance the story" (which _was_ the point, heroics in a war are often useless). My main issue with TLJ story is that it felt half baked/unfinished in many way. Rey going dark/grey would have been a good finish.
Most of the other issues are from TFA, because that movie made no sense. Oftentime strategically, movies do not make any sense, but that does not hamper their plot (in the movies Lord of the ring The Two Towers/The Return of the King, strategically the decisions are pure nonsense; when the books did a lot of work to explain how they end up in those very bad positions, but hte movies are still great if you don't really think about it). In TFA, i just can't understand why the republic are now rebels who use guerrilla/freedom fighter tactics. I don't understand the strategy behind anything, and honestly, the plot devices are too big to be excused. At least TLJ tries to answer the " but why?", often poorly, but at least you have explanations (and sometimes some punts to JJ abrahams, but honestly, fair play.)
That was certainly among the most vocal complaints I remember hearing about the movie at the time (other than the moronic "Too woke!" complaints), and Wikipedia supports my memory:
> Particularly divisive was the reveal that Rey's parents are insignificant; many fans had expected her to be Luke's daughter or to share a lineage with another character from the original trilogy.
Remembering and reading the source articles, divisiveness wasn't the fact Rey's parents weren't royal lineage, it was that fans are going to speculate, and Disney did nothing on or off screen to manage that speculation. In fact, Disney fanned the flames leading up to it.
Rian Johnson: "It's something that is absolutely going to be addressed... The other part of it is there are lots of surprises in this movie and lots of twists and turns, and I really want people to experience those when they see the movie for the first time. "
Ok, so years of oh, ah, and then the big lineage reveal comes and she's just a peasant girl. Screen rant called this "anticlimatic," which is was. The easily could have managed that earlier with a decent plot and decent writing, but the whole trilogy seemed to be written by a bunch of high school students.
You say that as if there aren’t an enormous amount of people for whom $2500 isn’t an enormous amount of money. Even in wealthy nations like the US, that equates to approximately 7% of the personal income for the average person. But for the 65% of the world’s population living on $10 or less per day, that is an increase of 77% or more on their yearly income.
But more important than the cash is the power that money buys. Defenestrating the uber-wealthy of their undue influence in society would have far reaching benefits beyond just money in people’s bank accounts.
