AI in the emergency room:
"Adam Hart has been a nurse for 14 years. he was listening to the ambulance report on a patient who’d just arrived—an elderly woman with dangerously low blood pressure—when a sepsis flag flashed in the hospital’s electronic system.

(.) The flag prompted the charge nurse to instruct Hart to room the patient immediately, take her vitals and begin intravenous (IV) fluids. It was protocol; in an emergency room, that often means speed.

But when Hart examined the woman, he saw that she had a dialysis catheter below her collarbone. Her kidneys weren’t keeping up. A routine flood of IV fluids, he warned, could overwhelm her system and end up in her lungs. The charge nurse told him to do it anyway because of the sepsis alert generated by the hospital’s artificial-intelligence system. Hart refused."

And this means... the fridge door is back!

The "fridge door" was an actual freezer door used as a whiteboard in 2019!

But the recovery went so well that by 2022 they needed a proper whiteboard :)

If I knew how odds worked I would place bets!
The rimu masting seems massive so maybe we can hope for 200+ eggs and ~80 living chicks?
This season will be more hands-off than 2019 or even 2022 (no incubating eggs artificially to push for a second clutch), so 200 is optimistic even with 80+ females. #kakapo

La seule AI qui compte ^-^

Bully for Bluster-Murphy!
"Bluster-Murphy was named after the blustery night he hatched, and the vet who saved his life."

How I know my laptop's loudspeakers have no bass: I can't hear the kakapo booming at all :(

I'm not alone in the #kakapo fandom :D

Un article en français sur la saison des #kakapo :

Douglas Adams on the kakapo, from a time there were only less than 50 individuals:

Fridge update!
24 eggs laid by 12 kakapo, 18 of which might be viable.
For now a total of 32 females have mated, so loads more are expected!

And the kakapo cam is back online!
Not much to see for now besides the egg.
Kakapo are nocturnal, so Rakiura will be feeding at night and incubating during the day (NZ time), so at night here in Europe.

Fridge update: at least 43 developping eggs in 41 nests, and as many still to be candled!
The viability rate is >50%, quite encouraging.

Ever better, over 3/4 of the Anchor Island eggs are fertile! (8/33)
https://bsky.app/profile/digs.bsky.social/post/3mdwyepxeik2j

Three more nests on Anchor Island :)
grand total, by my count : 63 nests (out of ~85 females)
