What health care providers actually want from AI

technologyreview.com Mayo Clinic Platform Staff 2025-10-23 08:00:00

Solutions that fix real problems Hospitals and health systems are looking at AI-enabled solutions that target their most urgent pain points: staffing shortages, clinician burnout, rising costs, and patient bottlenecks. These operational realities keep leadership up at night, and AI solutions must directly address them. For instance, hospitals and health systems are eager for AI tools that can reduce documentation burden for physicians and nurses. Natural language processing (NLP) solutions tha

Why the Pixel 10’s UFS 4.0 storage upgrade won’t actually speed things up

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-23 06:30:28

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Our Pixel 10 AMA was filled with great questions, but a couple of them stood out to me regarding the upgrade to UFS 4.0 storage. If you missed the news, Google has finally ditched the aging UFS 3.1 flash storage type for the far more impressive data speeds of UFS 4.0 and Zoned UFS (ZUFS) technology to improve age-related wear and tear. That is, as long as your new phone has 256GB of storage or more. The 128GB Pixel 10 and 10 Pro still have UFS 3.1 memory, just

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Like anyone who hates picking out new books, I absolutely love a good series. A lineup of three to five books off a single decision is just efficient. Yet, keeping storylines straight between installments isn’t always seamless. To that end, Kindle Recaps might be the most underrated tool on my e-reader.

You can spin up a virtual machine and try the alpha version of Gershwin. Confession time: I don't give any of the BSD-based distributions enough attention.

The first inkjet printer was a medical device

news.ycombinator.com Allison Marsh 2025-10-22 09:08:07

Millions of people worldwide have reason to be thankful that Swedish engineer Rune Elmqvist decided not to practice medicine. Although qualified as a doctor, he chose to invent medical equipment instead. In 1949, while working at Elema-Schonander (later Siemens-Elema), in Stockholm, he applied for a patent for the Mingograph, the first inkjet printer. Its movable nozzle deposited an electrostatically controlled jet of ink droplets on a spool of paper. Rune Elmqvist qualified to be a physician,

An LLM is a lossy encyclopedia

Since I love collecting questionable analogies for LLMs, here's a new one I just came up with: an LLM is a lossy encyclopedia. They have a huge array of facts compressed into them but that compression is lossy (see also Ted Chiang). The key thing is to develop an intuition for questions it can usefully answer vs questions that are at a level of detail where the lossiness matters. This thought sparked by a comment on Hacker News asking why an LLM couldn't "Create a boilerplate Zephyr project sk

Beleaguered electric vehicle company Lucid Motors (LCID) said this week that its reverse stock split, which will consolidate shares to meet NASDAQ’s $1 minimum trading price, is not a move to avoid being delisted.

Hungry Worms Could Help Solve Plastic Pollution

Plastics that support modern life are inexpensive, strong, and versatile, but are difficult to dispose of and have a serious impact when released into the environment. Polyethylene, in particular, is the most widely produced plastic in the world, with more than 100 million tons distributed annually. Since it can take decades to decompose—and along the way can harm wildlife and degrade into harmful microplastics—its disposal is an urgent issue for mankind. In 2017, European researchers discovere

India’s Offgrid raises $15M to make lithium optional for battery storage

Lithium has become the default choice for battery-powered systems, but its limitations — from volatile supply chains to short lifespans — are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Offgrid Energy Labs, a deep-tech startup based in India, wants to make lithium less central, especially when it comes to battery storage.
