#GoogleHealth highlights this morning: deciding three eggs are 675 calories and now having a bug that means all the GPS data from every run I try to record on my Pixel watch is lost. Painful for a £300+ watch and a subscription product.

Trump rebranding AI as 'super intelligence' is problematic as the term is already used for a theoretical future AI which surpasses human intelligence in all domains. Or maybe he just feels AI has surpassed _his_ intelligence in all domains. Agree. Https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqx2z23xj555o
Trump's AI rebrand causes 'unprecedented' demand for Slovenian website names
The president wants AI to be called super intelligence - or SI - the same initials used by Slovenian domains.

Finally made it to see Avenue Q. It's only been about 22 years or so?
What an absolute disgrace Salisbury Hospitals: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... As well as the family you should apologise to the staff member that was put in this situation and was choosing whether to hang a drip from a picture frame or a teaching skeleton.

In today's installment of: AI/LLMs are just incredibly powerful 'next word' predicting machines - the advice given to me by Google Health yesterday after the gym.
Now instead of just text saying 'please remember to examine the throat properly' with the advent of AI you get a nice little infographic sent to you over the departmental comms. I do wonder how quickly people will fatigue of this as well though....

Anyone going to the RCEM annual conference in Birmingham?
Rainy. Four hours of sleep from on-call so obviously going to go running like every Saturday. #TooTiredToThinkOfAMotivationalHashtag
@drlindadykes.bsky.social I've done my tax return. Also I was on call last night so didn't get up till late. #NewRecord
Hello @rcem.ac.uk , I'm a little distressed that my RCEM Rewards e-mails includes: A company that keeps on popping up in the news: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... for not the best business practices when it comes to selling weight loss drugs, and....
Interesting how much trouble a little box with text can cause. In the new ALS tachycardia algorithm the VT/is it VT? box is confusing enough that it's already been amended into a version 2 but also asks for procainamide (no UK license so it's interesting to source!).
Happy New Year and a Prosperous Year of the Horse to everyone! Even to the wind that blew away the banners around my door.
Wife brings this downstairs. Me: "ooh, that's lovely, where did you get it?" Wife: "you bought it last year cheap after last Chinese New Year."
New Lilo & Stitch: defeats enemy by kinda winning a fight on a spaceship. OG Lilo & Stitch: defeats enemy by stealing petrol tanker, driving it into a volcano, riding the explosion wave and beating up the alien guard whilst dropping wisecracks. OG Stitch FTW every time.
www.england.nhs.uk/publication/... Maybe it's just the way it's phrased but this just feels a bit like a lecture on the correct way to suck eggs is being delivered.
For a whole year now I've been responding to WhatsApp messages with themed emojis instead of just simple thumbs up/smiley faces and not one person has commented on it.
Tired: two-factor authentication Wired: n+1-factor authentication, where successfully authenticating on a new device just allows you to log in again, triggering another authentication request. Repeat ad infinitum
@kurtstat.bsky.social has anyone ever used the phrase 'leftward shift of acuity in streaming' (and I'm slightly embarassed to be asking this.) My thought: if you thought of acuity of setting on the x-axis with home at the left and ED resus on the right, and patient numbers on the y-axis...

The most caustic effect of Brexit is the rise in the view that democracy is just about voting on things. (Ideally it's a complex interlocking system that relies on the rules and interplay between Parliament, government, courts and the press to try and maximise freedom and quality of life for all.)

Indicators of patient flow dysfunction mainly focus on either the hospital front door (e.g. breaches of the four-hour target) or the hospital back door (e.g. delayed transfers of care). But patient flow dysfunction manifests itself *everywhere* in a general hospital. 1/6
The important thing to understand about AI is that everything that everyone else creates using it is mindless slop that is heating up the planet but everything I create using it is like a cross between Oscar Wilde and Van Gogh and was 100% worth it.
