On that note, I recently learned how popular homeopathic medicine is in Germany. That was surprising to me given the stereotypes about German people being so... down to Earth. Can …

Hard to explain the departure of Timnit Gebru if that's the case. Unless you think they actually changed corporate culture so dramatically because of that event...

The complaint is not well founded and doesn't explain how native landscapes make the problem any worse. A healthy ecosystem with owls, snakes, and coyotes will keep rodents in chec…

>Often the disease travelled faster than people, and when Europeans arrived, the natives were long since gone. I understand the gist of this statement with regards to the size and …

That's coconut water.

Sounds like the Canadian Food Inspection agency screwed the town out of spite. Like they had a target on Ngo's back. Anyone have more details? From the linked Eater article: >He su…

Instead the stinky will be spread through time. The solution to pollution is dilution, and the ocean would metabolize it away fairly quickly.

From the linked Eater article: >Perhaps the most promising and most discouraging event for the factory happened in 2016. That year, the provincial government approved a cleanup pla…

>He's shaming them for not backing down while he simultaneously will not back down. His framing is disingenuous The post is very clear about what settlement he wants. He's not acce…

I found this video from a kratom user very illuminating: https://youtu.be/TLObpcBR2yw

Radiologists like to distinguish between "perception" and "cognition", but the reality is that cognition is the same statistical process machines use, just without knowing the actu…

Really? What about the use of computer vision for satellite imagery? Facial recognition? The premise seems to be proven, just not extended to the medical domain yet.

Thank you. I think my comment was careful to specify "in this domain" and "computer vision model"; I didn't say anything about generative AI. The reference to neural networks was h…

Except it would see all the times similar starting conditions led to different diagnosis and recognize those contradictions. Or all the different treatments and their outcomes. And…

Why should we not expect a computer vision model to outperform humans on reading medical images? The human experts are literally just a trained biological neural network. In this d…

I'm sorry to hear that. The accusations of drug seeking are particularly galling. AI is absolutely a god send for patients navigating the medical system. I know the US system is ho…

Well, a good physics teacher might note the difference between external work on the gravitational field, versus the internal thermodynamic work of the human body. Which could lead …

If the stone blocks below the hepatopancreatic ampulla (the ampulla of Vater) then it will be blocking the pancreatic duct as well, leading to a buildup of digestive enzymes inside…

Them: The problem is making good food choice. The drug helps with that. You: The drug is a bandaid; just make good food choices. Antidepressants are the best analogy here. If the c…

I think the implication was a focus on the more strongly conserved folksy cultures and stuff. Whereas modern Romans are more... Italian. That having perhaps transformed to a great …

Don't know why this was down voted. Most people ruled by the Roman empire weren't ethnic Romans. Even in the early days it started as a mix of Italic tribes like the Latins and Sab…

Straight from that page: >This includes side projects that have not gone through IARC, even for DevRel engineers. So did you do this "Launcher2" or "Ariane" thing and get the appro…

It would help if you clarify whether you followed the OSS release process guidelines, which are very clearly documented. "Fired for making a thing" is different from "fired for not…

What in my comment makes you think I'm disputing anthropogenic climate change? It's about the pattern of logic you are applying. You seem to think that because Climate change is a …
