I totally see the value of analysis, butt it is a clear sign of how our society is clearly focused on too many shallow and superfluous endeavours... Just like how our economy is threatened by people only buying what they really need..
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoIf you think public health is shallow...I'm not sure I get where this is going?
- JGM_io 7y agoIt's not about public health. My comment is about anal recognition technology (my god..) being superfluous and yes : shallow thinking Energy would be way better spent on the actual analysis of diseases vs identifying someone. In my opinion of course
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoEvery part of the problem bears scrutiny. Both can be done. There is no 'vs'. So often arguments seems to assume some kind of scarcity of resources; some poverty of intellect that must be rationed. That's a sad viewpoint, and unworthy.
- JGM_io 7y agoAlthough I do agree with the general notion of your argument, I believe in this case it is being applied too abstract. Yes, both can be done. Yet it is not the scarcity of intellect I'm criticising. It's the researchers time that is being spent (or wasted imho) that is the focus of my criticism. A single RFID, QR code could've worked. Would take about 5 minutes dev time. I can't think of having to classify the images
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoMaybe we're overthinking this. Learning algorithms can be thrown together pretty quickly (a set of only 21 samples in this case). And further, aren't we talking graduate students? Everything they do is a dress rehearsal for real research later in their career.
- JGM_io 7y agoWould those be stool samples?
