This is great but it would be even better if 60Hz results were also presented.

> If you believe ultrasound categorically can not penetrate the skull No, of course bone can conduct sound, like any other solid. What I said was ultrasound cannot *effectively* penetrate, ie get a diagnostic image back out in an adult.

That’s the made up part though.

Not to the level of clarity and detail presented here, which is not possible from a basic acoustics physics premise. The “technical blog” is marketing fluff.

I am a consultant radiologist. Tell that to my 6-month old infants who require MRI with GA because their fontanelles are closed. Transtemporal can give you a poorly resolved image of the 3rd ventricle at a pinch. “Targeted frequencies” - ri

This is complete nonsense. Ultrasound can’t effectively penetrate the skull. The entire thing (and Midjourney’s) is vibed-up nonsense. The only reason this even exists as a brainfart and hasn’t been immediately laughed out of VC funding is

Thanks Eric, much appreciated. How would you compare your approach to something like Vello ( https://github.com/linebender/vello )?

Great article, but a couple of things jarred a bit. I'm in a technical but non-IT industry that currently rents its software at commercial scale. The software in question that I use is terrible, and it is probably the worst on the mark

Yes i am referring to lossless compression, and JPEG-XL also supports progressive lossless decoding. It also supports the 12 and 16-bit colour depths required for CT and DR.

This is really a job for JPEG-XL, which supports decode of portions of larger images and has recently been added to the DICOM standard.

As an aside have found the mosh + tmux Claude Code experience somewhat suboptimal, tmux's scrollback seems to clash with CC's, and makes copying between windows etc challenging. It is tolerable on an iPad with Blink with commands

This is just an article about bad leadership, with game dev as the given example. These things are universal, and I assume must be taught. You couldn’t arrive at the same output so pervasively by chance.

Whatever argument you may have against DST, “my cron jobs won’t run twice a year!” is not a strong one.

Agreed, Nim is a fantastic language and heavily under-rated. Moved from Swift about 12 months ago and development has never been more Pleasant. My only complaint is that the threading/async model and how memory and GC pools are managed

Their RIS and PACS software is also objectively poor, and they actively promote vendor lockin with solutions like iSyntax in the old IntelliSpace, and a horrifically bad and non-conforming IHE SWF implementation in Vue (which is partly Care

This is the most coherent and IMO accurate take on AI/LLM I have seen in 5 years. As a specialist in one of the original industries Geoffrey Hinton predicted would be gone (Radiology) my job remains safe and even more in demand 9 years

This is a frustration, but burnout among doctors (senior and junior) is largely due to either corporatisation of private care or defunding of public care, leading to unmanageable workloads, scapegoating after patient harm events, and loss o

Probably why the consultancy who produced the report referenced here was delighted to point it out.

It was Fedora rawhide, now Alpine edge, just working on one or two pieces of software I use that still need Glibc (Ardour DAW and the Swift compiler).

They’ve forgotten the classic error of engaging only with client at the management and IT and ignoring clinical requirements until UAT, and a clinician revolt ends in project failure, adverse media coverage, millions of wasted dollars, and

Not OP, but I am a radiologist, and that 3T image is not representative of a state-of-the-art clinical scanner. The 11.7T does have extremely high spatial resolution but contrast resolution is compromised. As others have said the clinical u

Sure, the more complex language features, which those basic benchmarks aren’t really looking at.
