The iPad and Blackmagic’s Micro Color Panel make strange bedfellows

With the current rebellion against Adobe’s subscription model, folks are taking a hard look at Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve Studio. And many like what they see.

Best of all, it’s free (though you can pay $300 to upgrade to the Studio version).To make it more practical for those editing on the go, Blackmagic introduced an iPad version in late 2022 with the Cut (editing) and Color pages, but no effects or audio apps. The idea was to offer creators a…

This is the first post in a series about my urges to figure out the dark magics of the computer world. You see, I recently have had some free time on my hands, and I decided to spend it to scratch some itches I've had for as long as I can code (writing an OS in Rust, for instance). As I dove deeper into the dark magics, I discovered the truth about things I never really liked to assume are true (but did it anyways, for the sake of sanity, at the time). I don't care anymore about sanity. Let's…

Generative AI and transformer-based large language models (LLMs) have been in the top headlines recently. These models demonstrate impressive performance in question answering, text summarization, code, and text generation.

The use cases can range from medical information extraction and clinical notes summarization to marketing content generation and medical-legal review automation (MLR process). In this post, we explore how LLMs can be used to design marketing content for disease awareness. Marketing content is a key component in the communication strategy of HCLS…

Patients on Ozempic are developing a rare form of sudden blindness, doctors say

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models
Eye doctors in Boston have started to notice a small but worrisome uptick in cases of a rare type of sudden blindness among patients taking semaglutide.They're raising questions about whether taking Ozempic or Wegovy might be leading to more cases of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a rare condition where blood stops flowing to the optic nerve, disturbing the connection between the eye and the brain. The issue typically surfaces suddenly, without pain, and results in people waking up in the morning unable to see out of one eye. The new investigation, published Wednesday in JAMA Ophthalmology, found that…

Haven't you heard? Today's their birthday!!We found it, you guys. We found the one piece of AI-generated Facebook sludge to rule them all.As you've probably already read about or seen in the digital wild, Meta's flagship platform and former namesake Facebook is drowning in a fast-rising tide of AI-generate garbage. Spammers, ever eager to churn and burn through content, have taken to generative AI as a means of creating cheap and easily automatable virality-seeking imagery. And because this is Facebook, these fake images tend to center on themes and motifs that do well with the Boomer crowd that populates the platform:…
