Indian patient data processed through US cloud APIs violates DPDPA. Doesn't matter how good the API is. If data crosses borders, you're non-compliant. On-premise isn't a preference. For 1.4 billion people, it's the law. How many hospitals still route PHI through cloud APIs?




One of the greatest charts I have ever seen



New in Claude Code: Remote Control. Kick off a task in your terminal and pick it up from your phone while you take a walk or join a meeting. Claude keeps running on your machine, and you can control the session from the Claude app or claude.ai/code

We offered 5 people a Porsche 911 GT3 RS if they could get @WisprFlow to make a mistake It's the fastest and most accurate AI voice dictation app that's 3x more accurate than ChatGPT, Claude, or Siri. Today, we’re finally launching on Android. Download now: play.google.com/store/apps/det… As a part of the launch, we’re giving away 6 months of Wispr Flow Pro for free. Like, retweet and comment ‘Wispr Flow’ to get it. Enjoy. — Written with Wispr Flow


Introducing agentic trial emulation: Biomni scaled clinical trial emulation using 12M patients EHR data at Mount Sinai. Researchers used Biomni to autonomously emulate multiple landmark anticoagulation RCTs end-to-end within their EHR—turning months of manual target trial analysis into scalable, agent-driven workflows that can extend across large numbers of trials and diseases. Running many emulations in parallel enabled something new: learning a stable institutional transport signal that quantifies how published trial effects systematically translate in local care.

Professor Judea Pearl — the pioneer who invented causal reasoning in AI — says scaling won't save us. "Mathematical limitations that are not crossable by scaling up." The brutal truth: LLMs aren’t learning how the world works. They are learning how we describe the world. This resonates with most biologists: Drug discovery is hitting the same wall. We have mountains of genomic data, but most AI models just find patterns in published papers — not in the raw biology itself. They're learning what scientists think causes disease, not what actually does. Pearl's causal revolution? That's how we move from "this gene correlates with cancer" to "this gene causes cancer" — and finally design drugs that work. Until then, we're building very expensive parrots.
