This is nonsense, if they are getting this AI slop past code review that is a disgrace. When I take solutions from AI I need to rewrite almost every line for style and project alignment reasons. There is something uncanny valley about AI co

Don’t worry, Trump can just keep firing the people who make the statistics until he’s proven right :-/

I can’t wait for how cheap compute will be during the inevitable AI winter.

I’ve never worked anywhere where managers added value, in fact the best places I’ve worked are where the product people have very little power over what the technical team do and instead of specifying what they often specify why, giving the

Yes not terrible, I think throwing is often worse. I do think that Golang forcing you to deal with Errors immediately is just a bit extreme, sometimes it’s nice to have a choice or create abstractions about how to handle them.

They still throw and just have millions of try catch blocks repeated everywhere around almost every function :-/

They are forcing people to write Typescript code like it’s Golang where I am right now (amongst other extremely stupid decisions - only unit test service boundaries, do not pull out logic into pure functions, do not write UI tests, etc.). I

People seem to miss the humanity of previous GPTs from my understanding. GPT5 seems colder and more precise and better at holding itself together with larger contexts. People should know it’s AI, it does not need to explain this constantly

This conversation seems like politics not technology. The act (which is awful) has already been done to death on here.

Why would Figma have sold to Adobe if they were not paying a premium, assuming they’d grow? I can understand you looking at the headline valuation but as an independent company traded with lots of potential to grow with AI tools their stoc

It looks like a pug. I’m not saying that is bad :-)

There’s zero evidence and many clinical trials showing ivermectin is not effective against COVID. I don’t watch CNN I just believe we should use the scientific method to figure things out not theories people post on YouTube.

He literally just paid for Trump’s reelection, why do we think these people need AI?

I think most software is extremely buggy and it’s about to get much worse… just today several comments just disappeared from YouTube, did they even get written there? Uber has a whole feature about upgrading to Uber Comfort - it’s never wor

I’ve found the AI is particularly good at explaining AI, better than quite a lot of other coding tasks.

There is a decent looking dataset available here, let's see my model can generate random numbers from this for each of the diseases: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-022-01403-5

That’s what’s fascinating about AI it might find patterns with enough data that we don’t see.

No the examples you give are extremely difficult compared to the 2D graphs of an EKG. The Apple Watch is clearly doing some fairly accurate inference with a single lead around arrhythmias, for example. I’m really sorry for being enthusiasti

It’s only if heart muscle dies does that show up, you can have an important artery narrow without symptoms until suddenly a bit of plaque breaks off completely blocking a path causing bits of muscle to actually die.

by andy_ppp 1y ago
EKGs should be extremely easy for AI to identify every disease with a range of probabilities and even some humans can’t identify from EKGs. Do we have the labelled dataset for this?

I think the issue was the people running it were the type of people who are taught to ruthlessly look at a spreadsheet and decide if Coca Cola can invest X in marketing and product development they can expect to get Y back (with reasonable

Honestly I know this sound snarky but it’s 100% true - Three has become so unbelievably bad in East London lately I’d struggle to know if it was affected by this outage or if it was business as usual for them. I could go on about how broken

I find I read the AI summary then realise I prefer and trust ChatGPT’s answer more so copy my query into that and go from there. Having below average “chat” suggestions in a non-chat interface with loads of SERP cruft feels pointless.

It’s all built in at the language/runtime level and then extended with things like Horde or libcluster.

Which version of react-router are we on by now? Surely it must be done by now :-/

Yes, it’s always a surprise to me that, given how great Elixir is, it didn’t take over backend development. It seems so much better suited to doing something similar to microservices without a lot of the overhead you’d think people would lo

Hopefully an upgrade to an external library doesn't end up including another dependancy that happens to include some backdoor that steals all the credit card information in your database. Or a crypto miner in frontend code. Or introduc
