How much far is 67% against 55%? Does the research considered same patients as the doctors?

How much it can be effective for science if it is not compared side by side how each scenario was evaluated by both and how it came to different conclusions.

Who can ensure a doctor couldn't spot some blind point AI couldn't at the remaining 43%.

Tools are not for replacement but combining efforts.

Throw such % to the public is a lot of irresponsibility.


how much confidence is 67%? does it was at the same patients with the same info? If not it is just selling bait.

Not he automation, but the way... we gone farther since agricultural and energy domestication... but the profit as main director is less than suboptimal, it is tragical. Having known about many accidents in complex systems is a madness to see things at this point in the most complex of systems that is society.

Profit is what drives the survival of the firm to be fair

However there are tasteful ways of doing it. And google and meta in particular certainly are not.


More than ever is time to be stoic. Have things but live as having nothing. But as obvious as the author says it was predictable too.

By now... I see in my country high prices for laptops with only 4Gb of Ram and Celerons.

It could do wonderful things if in 2000s people didn't buy the argument that hardware is so cheap so lets write unefficient code. Same hardware that could play an Youtube video in 2000s today cannot even open the website. Electron send hugs...

Now people are mad about AI until when? Oceans be drought like in Oblivion movie?

And professionals? The generation of specialists will pass... and people will blindly depend on Ai soon if the course of things doesn't stop or at least be corrected.

I think the author could have brighter days in future (and still thing in present in some hidden niches) as knowledge will always precious.

The main lesson I have is buy less TI and every buzz promises and find the place where knoledge and craft walk side by side.


But all that advice. Never worked out. Be stoic. Be supportive. Be.. to Not to be. Accept that beeing some eldritch gods lunch is your destiny. Stoic is what we expect the cattle to be as it goes up the ramp. Do not go quietly into the night, rage against the dying of the light.

Correct. Stoicism was for two audiences. Those doing the killing to be indifferent toward it and for those being killed to be indifferent about it.

Marcus Aurelius the historical figure was a monster who killed a measurable portion of humans alive at the time


I mean... so did a lot of other rulers. As far as emperors go, Aurelius wasn't that bad. You have to judge historical people by their peers, not by your own modern standards.

My take is that you should judge historical people based on the choices they had.

Strictly speaking nobody has to do anything.

The great meat grinder doesn't care either way. Stoic or screaming and kicking, you're going in.

So sayeth a Head of Engineering.

Aye - I'm marching into it like everyone else, just with a different flavour of pain

Let’s join hands then.

That’s what I thought.

Stoicness is for the lamb and the wolf alike; mindfulness is for the monk and the samurai killing on behalf of their lord alike.

We are not so one-dimensional that good mind habits are the one and only thing we do and act on.


But that was a stoic comment.

Most of boring is about people thinking AI is really intelligent. Thinking that it is magic. With magic comes the ghosts instead bugs. Who was lazy, will become even lazier. Engineers will keep building bridges... and also software.

As shown in "Normal Accidents" the strength is as high as its weaknesses, and in any complex system this is even more a problem. A catastrophic event is still to happen with AI as it happened in basically every complex system. They ocurred with trained people that wasnt believing in magic or laziness... so the scenario is even worse for AI.

Yes, I'm bored about people that believe in magic and the ghosts the are emerging and are yet to be seen.


I have no metrics but there is a lot (if not most of) sites with similar issues.

A simple site of lyrics, or newspapers that start videos automatically. Github was worse, now at least opens a bit more faster, but still very poorer than, example, codeberg. Sites are sites, most want to do fancy things more than to simply let user read its contents.

Would be nice a site that could track it to put some shame. By now, the better sites are just like HN, Wikipedia... unobstrusive and fast even without cache.


The biggest difficult is not that, is the many assumptions you need when writing a makefile and how to use different versions of same library. The LD_PATH is something had as potentially risky. Not that it be... but assumptions of the past, like big monsters, are a barrier to the simpler C tooling.


This news shows the progresss by 2019, but couldn't find more recent updates.

No matter which new technology arises on the horizon... what is tainted is not internet, not AI. Is the entire purpose on follow dollars.

I hated when needed to see Google reports for ads. And be in a rush for SEO. This was a game of rats, no real knowledge, just attempts to satisfy an Algorithm that changed on weekly base.

I quit Facebook / Instagram / Google ads 6 years ago. Why? Because my advertisement was feeding the system on who show concurrent advertisement, collecting habits of MY customers.

So the system is broken. Stop pursuing the american dream and the wild capitalism. This new generation is building immunity to many of these things, at least until their engineers find a way to take control of these minds.

About where to go... I think we need to be satisfied with less, in the sense we need to buy a new car every year, nor new clothes just for fashion, neither gadgets just by compulsive appeal.

Buy the best you can, use it the most before discard it. Exchange fast food for what your granparents used to be fed. Know that you can be happy by yourself, not by what they said you need in the last 100 years. Life is that, the way is that. But many fall in the western system propaganda.


it sometimes can be just an architectural issue...

You can use the critical query against the RW instance, the first point.

The other point is that most of the time, specially concerning to web where the amount of concurrent access may be critical, the data doesn't need to be time-critical.

With the advent of reactive in apps and web things became overcomplex.

Yes, strong consistency will always be an issue. And mitigation should start in the architecture. More often than not, the problem arise from architectural overcomplication. Each case is a case.
