Regarding IMO problems being too hard, funny that this just dropped today: https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/ai-solves-imo-problems-at-silver-medal-level/

That is way faster progress than I expected. The kind of IMO problems that it takes to get a silver medal require real creativity and novel problem solving. And it's not just geometry, it's all kinds of IMO problems. Of course I'd like to see it tested on a previously unreleased IMO shortlist (the 2024 should be out soon), but if this holds up that's very impressive.

Finally got around to signing up for Claude yesterday and then had my first use case for using an LLM live on the job in the same shift: got phoned in a question on toxicology by surgery, spent an awkward minute fumbling around my go-to professional reference (first time fielding this kind of question in the new job and wasn't sure where to look directly), typed it into Claude, got a reasonable-sounding answer that I relayed with a "I'm fairly sure this is it but I'll continue to do some poking around and let you know if I find otherwise", and then a few short minutes later confirmed that Claude had it right.

Only thought to do this because I'm already aware LLMs are handy for filtering down an excess of information and so now I'm trying to think of other broad, pharmacy-applicable potential uses. Maybe need to fiddle around with dumping spreadsheets and pdfs into it when I have more time.
