Did you try llamaparse from Llamaindex? It’s a cloud service with a free tier. Recently switched to it from unstructured.io and it works great with the kinds of images and table graphics I feed it.
Can you elaborate on the difference between the terms “late untreated borreliosis” and “chronic Lyme disease”? Borreliosis is just another name for Lyme disease. What distinction are you so sure about that I’m missing?
Chronic lyme is a vague term that usually refers to people who have already been treated, but continue to have symptoms, and may not test positive. It's a grabbag of stuff.
I have heard this claim before but I couldn’t follow the logic, genuinely would like to understand your perspective.
So “late untreated borreliosis” is a “real thing” but if someone gets borreliosis, gets treated, yet their symptoms persist (this scenario is what people usually mean by the term chronic Lyme) then that is NOT a “real thing”?
Does this mean that treatment is 100% effective or that if it didn’t work, then it wasn’t borreliosis to begin with?
Reading this was very cathartic, I was nodding along and laughing as I had the exact same journey of WTF. And all along I just assumed I was 100% of the problem.
Hearing this perspective helps put my frustration in context. I need to lower my expectations and just get used to its quirks. Despite its issues I've had a ton of fun building with langchain and will keep using it.
Amen! I had the exact same reaction. Like the author I eventually threw my hands in the air and started rolling my own solution that is already getting most of what I was interested in done without the hassle.
Th glucose monitor warns you to take Insulin but, The question for me is what action should be taken after high inflammation is detected? It seems like once an alert goes off, it's just a warning to go see a doctor.
The treatments for inflammation, and the indication of what specifically is causing it, seem to be rather limited to me beyond taking antibiotics or anti inflammatory meds.
Ibuprofen is fairly flawed as a regular treatment for many because of the ulcer risks...
There are many suggested treatments for inflammation, OP mentions “ginger”, my guess is that like everything else with the body certain treatments work for some people and not others. Like how CGM’s are used now not just for diabetes but for a tighter feedback loop on which foods, etc spike insulin, which allows a person to iterate their lifestyle faster. It’s the same with inflammation- If you have chronic inflammation and are trying to reduce it with diet, exercise, medication, naturopathic treatments, a tighter feedback loop would be a game changer, assuming it was possible. Perhaps CRP does not respond as quick to changes in the body as glucose, and measuring it all the time isn’t gaining much.
Agreed, that only highlights the need to have a network of reliable places someone can go in order to have personally tailored care.
Just finding a doctor that can see you immediately in the US without racking up expensive emergency room fees is darn near impossible now in the US... It always comes back to our ritually broken health care system. :(
One interesting thing about going to continuous (or near-continuous) testing is you can get much narrower error bars on your baseline.
If you test once a month, how do you know if you accidentally tested during a transient spike?
If you test continuously, you can roll up those measurements to get things like p95, stddev, whatever.
So it’s useful even if you don’t want to respond in minutes to a spike. (You probably don’t need per-second readings for this, hourly would be enough.)
I don’t know if transient spikes are considered a risk factor, but you also get more chance to resolve those too.
Lifestyle changes including those related to nutrition, exercise, stress, and sleep can all improve inflammation levels. See our blog for a list of lifestyle interventions associated with decreased inflammation levels: https://www.begolden.online/post/lifestyle-interventions-ass...
Each person will respond differently so we suggest testing what works best for you.
Reminds me of Forward Error Correction [1], a technique used by Satellite providers and even WAN optimization vendors like Silver Peak to "erase" packet loss events by injecting parity packets into the flow, which can be used to rebuild lost packets at the receiving end if needed. This prevents TCP synchronization, aka the throughput see-saw described in the article. This problem isn't limited to high latency / satellite links but exists on any path with packet loss, like your internet connection, or even MPLS.
