1 / In our new paper, we challenged LLMs on an oral boards q-bank with mostly higher order questions! Also for the first time, we quantify “hallucinations” — a puzzling phenomenon where LLMs will confidently incorporate falsehoods into responses.- Know your angles! EVD hack for junior residents. Adson tissue forceps angle is usually about 8 deg. Two stacked are about 17 deg. EVD trajectory here slightly more medial at 21 degrees. Good sanity check. #stereotaxy
