“Since AI scribes already have access to the full breadth of clinic visit conversations, they can readily reference shared clinical decision-making and treatment plans, which is valuable context for drafting medical orders and handling prior authorizations.” Editorial “AI Scribes Are Not Productivity Tools (Yet)” by Eileen Kim, M.D., Vincent X. Liu, M.D., M.Sc., and Karandeep Singh, M.D., M.M.Sc.

The authors of a new editorial write that #AI scribes for clinical practice show early promise for improved productivity and lay out the conditions under which these tools may substantially improve productivity in the future. Read the full editorial: nejm.ai/48aLhvx

AI Scribe Called Quest is the crossover album we all deserve but will never see.

It’s also #5 on PYPL: pypl.github.io/PYPL.html

Screenshot of an item in the new R-devel release, that says: x %notin% table newly in base is an idiom for !(x %in% table) and provided almost entirely for convenience and code readability, from an R-devel suggestion, after many years of private definitions mostly hidden in packages, including in R's tools package.

%notin% is coming to Base R! Heck to the yes.

We are truly blessed on this day, thank you R Core. 🤩

The Lesser-Known StreisAInd Effect

Statistician: AI gets too much hype. I’m going to fix that.

ML researcher: How?

Stats: I’m going to give a talk about AI hype…

ML: …

Stats: and then do a press release about it…

ML: To hype it up?

Stats: Yes.

Machine learning has developed remarkable new ideas about how to develop prediction algorithms. But always baffled me why the field had to reinvent how to evaluate models. Here we show F score should not be used to evaluate medical prediction models link.springer.com/epdf/10.1186...

iOS 26: “You are now entering Game Mode. I’m going to just leave this banner up here for 20 seconds to make sure you are aware. Apologies if this completely blocks a critical part of the screen as you play.”

Really enjoyed the fantastic session we had yesterday on applications of AI in hematology at #ASH25 with @wondermixtape.bsky.social,
Sanam Loghavi, and @kdpsingh.bsky.social!

Looking forward to our joint session Advancing Hematology Through Artificial Intelligence today at 4pm Hyatt Regency Ballroom S #ASH25
w/ Vijay Sankaran Sanam Loghavi & @kdpsingh.bsky.social on how #AI is will impact hematology across discovery science, diagnostics, & clinical care

Titans + MIRAS: Helping AI have long-term memory

TITANS & MIRAS: real continual learning

MIRAS = a unifying theory of transformers (attention) and state space models (SSM, e.g. Mamba, RNNs)

TITANS = an optimal MIRAS implementation that’s “halfway between” SSM & transformer with a CL memory module

let’s dive in!

About half the time, this is also a man-in-the-middle attack.

Round of applause for this researcher’s work.

Brilliant backdoor attack. 🤣

Kohler Health also confirmed that it can harness the collected poop 💩 pics to train AI.

12 former FDA chiefs unite to say agency memo on vaccines is deeply stupid Prasad’s arguments “misrepresent both the science and the regulatory record.”…

Engineer proves that Kohler’s smart toilet cameras aren’t very private Kohler is getting the scoop on people’s poop.

This gives “end-to-end” encryption a whole new meaning.

@kdpsingh.bsky.social had an editorial that also discusses these findings. Important studies on Ambient AI for clinicians.
#MedSky

We finally have randomized, controlled clinical trial results from ambient AI scribes. But what do these RCTs actually tell us?

Look at the below chart. Time savings are often low, but doctors give the technology rave reviews, esp in anecdotes that people tend to believe more than data 👀 🧵

🖥️🩺

"In the more typical case, observed by Lukac et al., AI scribes saved less than a minute per visit, consistent with prior observational studies." Kim, E., Liu, V. X., & Singh, K. (2025). AI Scribes Are Not Productivity Tools (Yet). NEJM AI, 2(12), AIe2501051. https://doi.org/10.1056/AIe2501051

Can doctors save time and stress with #AI scribes who listen to interactions with patients and create medical notes?

After many non-randomized studies without control groups, there are now results from two randomized control trials:

Data-Driven Surgical Supply Lists Can Reduce Hospital Cost and Waste UC San Diego study shows data-driven surgical supply lists can cut waste, save millions and improve efficiency without compromising patient safety.

Excellent study by team @kdpsingh.bsky.social. Using statistical models, streamlined versions of surgical supply lists can reduce hospital waste and improve operational efficiency.

An inspiring use of data to reduce waste without compromising care! Way to go!

Thanks! 🙏

Linear in the log scale anyway. You backtransform them and the whole place falls apart

Most log cabins are actually linear cabins.

Was going through my video archives looking for something and laughed at this, thought I'd let Bluesky enjoy #RStats #rayshader

Is it a coincidence that she works on “a bridge” of a starship?

"Do AI scribes actually help?"

Figure 1:

Vaccine Safety MENU V For Everyone NOV. 19, 2025 KEY POINTS • The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. • Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. • HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:

“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.
