Correct. That's not objectionable to me, so it would make no sense to compare it to something objectionable. It's similar to the difference between organ donation and organ theft. Although the transplant operation is identical f

No, I would not use those terms in that case. The construction steps may be the same, but the lack of a lost life is a key distinction that invalidates the analogy for me.

For me, it would need to not involve the unjustified sacrifice of intelligent life. I believe this is a viewpoint that increases the longterm survival probability of humankind.

It seems they cut up frog embryos and stitched the pieces back together to move in a certain way through involuntary muscle contractions. Maybe I'm being shortsighted, but I have a hard time thinking of this as anything but a rather n

This is a valid issue. If you aren't in a fitness center, you can exercise near a load-bearing wall or pillar to attenuate the floor impact harmonics, which always seems to work well for me.

Yes! One set of jump squats as high and as rapidly as you can do them without pause, until fatigued. Rest two to three days afterwards. Once you get into a habit where you hate to miss a workout, switch to doing burpees instead. You can

The main advantage of a blackbox ML solution is shorter development time to a useful performance level. Creating a transparent, explainable solution typically takes more time, more work, and a higher level of expertise to get to the same p

There was no claim in that comment. "It seems" implies a personal opinion of the poster.

The radiologists in this study had read 6,969 mammograms on average over the preceding year. That's about 15X the certification requirement and 4X the average for U.S. doctors. Reading volume is one of the main predictors of performa

1) I see no credible criticism on reddit. 2) I see nothing in the Luke Oakden-Rayner blog that calls this study into question. This study actually avoids the pitfalls that he mentions. 3) This paper said nothing about replacing doctors.

Can you point to a particular comment in this thread making a claim about disruption or diagnostic performance?

Your comments do not seem to be addressing this particular study, but rather seem to be directed at the plethora of poorly-designed/over-hyped ML papers that are published on a regular basis. While that is an issue, this particular pa

Excellent results with good generalization. The study appears to be well designed and executed. This was a significant effort. Clearly, there are commercial intentions.

Yes, the study showed that cancers were less likely to be diagnosed outside of the regular screening exams. The implication is that the added MRI detected some cancers that would have otherwise been missed during screening and then later f

An interval cancer is one that is diagnosed outside of the regularly-scheduled screening exams. Example: A woman feels a lump, goes to see her doctor immediately rather than wait until her next scheduled screening, and this results in a ca
