#102When you're an expert at something and you spend all your days looking at these things, you can pick out remarkable details from nothing. Any regular person looking at the original photo (below) would have seen nothing! https://x.com/Warkslieutenant/status/1808884139585610231/pho... (it's the picture with the curved frame on the left)
Yeah, I worked with radiologists... What they can see in x-ray, CT, MR, PET, ultrasound... it's mind-boggling.
And yet, as a software developer or security researcher or whatever, we can do the same thing; for example a milliseconds delay in SSH leading to the uncovering of a years-long ploy to undermine security (although the diff that introduced the issue flew under the radar), or recognising an issue from the sounds a modem or hard drive makes.

No, why? You have to click Approve but then the tweet shows

#104Reminds me of the "lost" painting that was rediscovered via the movie Stuart Little : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Little_(film)#Lost_pain...
That's wild. Also wild that the set dresser paid $500 from the film's budget for a random piece of non-key set dressing like this.
Yeah, I don't know what the going rate is for decent-looking background paintings, but I can see why films cost so many millions of dollars to make.

An article from Smithsonian shows that there's a drawing showing what the gallery had looked like. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/art-historian-disc... So somewhere in his brain he must have had "missing rounded-top portraits of 16th century VIPs, including one of Henry VIII posed kind of like this" filed away.
This article is much better than OPs. It clearly explains what the painting is missing from (a set of busts hung in a hall auctioned separately in 1781), and even shows a drawing of what that set is.

#107Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not really. On very narrow datasets, from very specific machines. When they tried to generalize (the way a radiologist does) across multiple hospitals and multiple machines from different manufacturers, results are not that good.
can you point to any reports that provides these studies and outcomes?
This one comes to mind. The discussion section is helpful:
> Despite the many interesting discoveries in pathology AI, translation to routine clinical use remains rare and there are many questions and challenges around the evidence quality, risk of bias and robustness of the medical AI tools in general

I expect the same has happened with a lot of people here too. I know that I've been able to piece together pretty complicated situations from very limited evidence, amazing the junior devs on the team.
I also think this XKCD is relevant to the subject. You'll eventually become an expert on darn near anything you spend enough time on. https://xkcd.com/915/

my nephew is good at identifying teslas. "if the door handles are straight - S, together - X, hockey sticks - 3 or Y. No handles? cybertruck" :)
I remember reading something as a kid in the 70s where there was a character who could identify cars by their radiator grilles, so this tracks.

Reminds me of Jesus' words: Everyone seeking finds...
Yeah there are some things you probably will never be a master of, but if you have the motivation to spend enough time at it, and not give up due to discouragement and reversals, you pretty much will become much better at it than you ever though possible.
