Insomaniac Kills Sleep

Artificial intelligence, touted for its potential to transform medicine, led to some doctors losing skills after just a few months in a new study. AI helped health professionals to better detect pre-cancerous growths in the colon, but when the assistance was removed, their ability to find tumors dropped by about 20% compared with rates before the tool was ever introduced, according to findings published Wednesday. Health-care systems around the world are embracing AI with a view to boosting patient outcomes and productivity. Just this year, the UK government announced £11 million ($14.8 million) in funding for a new trial to test how AI can help catch breast cancer earlier. The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, “leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,” the scientists said in the paper.

Id like to arrive at the part where machine learning technologies aren't completely overmarketed, please.

This form of AI was being vastly overhyped before generative AI even existed, and it is, has been, and will become more apparent that whatever use it did have as a tool has and still is being vastly overpromised for algorithms and paradigms that may have already reached their theoretical best performance. If the tools *can* get better, and this is the state they are in today, it is still obvious that they weren't suitable 15 years ago, when they started being sold.

And there should be, you know, consequences for the people who would do such a thing.

I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD

In the 2000s, phones had quirks and class....

And then Steve Jobs ruined everything.

just looked it up. holy fuck. they did it by de-duplicating assets. I'm just. my jaw is on the floor. supposedly duplicating assets helps load times on HDDs but. holy fuck at what cost

So they had more than sextupled the size of their game by following industry standard practice that actually did basically nothing!

back on the topic of game sizes and optimization, I was going to ask how this would apply to sandbox games with large sprawling worlds, would they just be prevented from having high graphical fidelity that more linear, smaller games can have, but then I realized that they already don't have to take that hit. as an example, Fallout 4, along with all the dlc, is 30 gb. Doom 2016, which is smaller, came out the year after, and doesn't look that much better than Fallout 4, is 68 gb. so big sandbox games probably wouldn't have to worry about it much more than other games

my bad yall

I'm fortunate enough to have a primary care doctor who knows about hEDS, but it's occurring to me that the skills in this book could be medically life changing for chronically ill folks of all kinds. Like. Literally a matter of life and death, especially for BIPOC and/or fat and/or young people who are having their issues dismissed.

they had 19 year old /pol/ users going through all federal spending and deleting anything where the words were too big to understand

HOLY FUCK

Drives my gay little truck that makes you upset

This tweet still exists, btw
