"desktop OS" is not what I said, it's what you inferred. Linux is the base for every Android device, and most servers run some flavor of it, most routers run it, most widely used system for embedded OS, the list goes on. I meant precisely what I said.

> Why would a software maker invest the time and effort in catering to a negligible slice of the desktop OS market?

Why indeed? I disagree with "negligible" here, but for any sort of advanced and automated workflow, Linux is the best choice.

Interesting, my grandfather was also on the train to Auschwitz and also survived - he was in an orphanage in Katowice, after his parents were taken to camps in Germany, but a few months later Nazis decided to clear out the orphanage as well - he was taken along with all the other kids and put in a train carriage destined to Auschwitz, but a nurse who worked at the orphanage managed to sneak into the trainyard and grabbed the first kid that she had a chance to - my grandfather. As far as we know he was the only kid to survive from that orphanage, thanks to the actions of that nurse.

He was then placed with the family of Kazimierz Gołba, a Polish poet(who was himself hiding first from Nazis then from the secret police after the war) - and lived with them using a fake name for a while, only going to back to his original name and surname some years after the war.

Him and my grandma spent years and years of their lives trying to find any trace of what happend to his parents or any of his other family, but without any luck.

Unfortunately, he passed away last year, almost certainly due to covid(I say almost certainly - he passed away due to respiratory problems, and grandma got diagnosed with covid a day later, he was never tested).

Him and grandma and myself and the rest of our family have always lived literally 10 minutes away from the former Auschwitz camp as well - in a little town nearby.
ML/AI is such an irresistible siren song for so many… the possibilities are seemingly endless. But the “sales and marketing” people are getting over their skis selling AI/ML to the point of smothering the tech. The next AI winter is going to be long and cold…
You replied to a comment about Thinkpads.
There's a bit of double-counting here too.

DARPA doesn't actually do much (any?) research on its own. Its role is to award contracts to "performers" that actually run the experiments, train the models, build the devices, etc.

In other words, a big chunk of (e.g.,) Teledyne's R&D budget is actually the same money as DARPA's R&D budget.

Incorporating more variables into the model wouldn't be sufficient. You would also need to get the input data for those variables into a form that algorithm could consume. Often the raw data simply isn't recorded in the patient's chart, or if it is recorded it's in unstructured text where even sophisticated NLP struggles to extract accurate discrete clinical concept codes.

It can be true both that AI beats radiologists AND the number of radiologist jobs in the U.S. is going up.
Postgres too https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/file-fdw.html
The relevant question is not why radiologists aren't widely using AI software, but how accurate is the AI software relative to their human counterparts. Previous studies on the subject indicate that the accuracy of radiologists and AI software is comparable.

Radiologists are among the highest paid medical specialists and have little incentive to use AI software. It would be against their own interest - their compensation would go down, and their skills would be commoditized. Never mind that if they provided diagnosis feedback to the AI software to further strengthen the ANN models it would accelerate the decline of their profession.

HMOs and governments ultimately set the pay scale for this service. Some hospitals are already outsourcing radiology work to India. It's just a matter of time before AI is used more widely in the field due to cost constraints.
When I went to a local Apple Store to replace the battery of my iPhone 6, they asked me to disable Find My iPhone and explicitly told me to do a factory reset. I thought that was a good standard procedure, as I already did a reset though didn't disable Find My iPhone.

On the other hand, when I went to repair the keyboard for my MacBook Pro, they did ask for my password. I refused, and they just said they would have to wipe the hard drive and do a reset.

I guess it really depends on how responsible the individual "Apple Genius" is.

4. The BTO (Big Time Operator). Deere has been known to give them very compelling deals that the other manufacturers cannot match. The smaller farmers are more likely to buy used equipment, so this also ensures that when the largest farmers buy Deere, green equipment is what is found on the used lot.
The article doesn't specify if the sharing of photos was intentional or not.

There should be safeguards either way, but it seems that most articles and posters are assuming that it was. I can imagine a number of ways to accidentally or automatically sync photo albums to Facebook, and this is one of the main reasons I don't have it on my phone.

Similarly, if the privacy breach was intentional, I would have guessed the techs would have downloaded the content and done something that was less obviously traceable to them.

This exists. Anyone who is security conscious should store all of their sensitive files and PII in an encrypted vault that only they hold they keys to. Realistically, most people don't have the vigilance to do this, and it's pretty hard to do it perfectly. But I highly recommend to everyone at least to install something like Cryptomator to secure their most private documents and information, so that no one else has access even if they gain access to your computer or cloud storage.
I actually want to index everything in the software development lifecycle, which will include GitHub discussions. The issue right now is I'm a sole founder and I can only implement so many features and I am looking for investors right now (ping me if you think you can help with introductions) to tackle what you suggested.

I really do want to index everything from meetings, emails, time between design docs and so forth. Indexing GitHub discussions is very important since it takes effort to engage people and I want to best capture effort so that developers can say "1 line of code" took more effort than you can imagine.
I see what you mean, but that sounds like a gigantic attack surface for all the companies that sell oppressive regimes tools for hacking into arrested human rights activists' phones.

The contradiction lies in the fact that he wrote a book with millions of people as his audience. That's the problem with "print capitalism" and the actual audience size of one.
There is a difference between documentation and tutorials.
Most of what I know about that comes from Brian Bagnall's books (e.g. Commodore: A company on the edge). It's covered in the first chapter. I don't know of any preserved documents - if they exist they'd belong to Motorola, and I'd expect the leavers would have preferred to ditch any such documents (though part of the reason for the settlement with Motorola was that one of the engineers stupidly taking 6800 documentation with him).

This [1] summarizes it. Here [2] is an interview by Computer History Museum of Chuck Peddle. It matches up with the first chapters in Bagnalls book very closely. From about 50 minutes in he talks about his meetings w/Motorola customers that told him the 6800 was too expensive. From about 58m in they talk about basically setting a size metric for the chip to meet a low enough price point. So the starting point was what they could fit in small enough space.

Tail-case like rare genetic disorders are often missed by doctors too. I have several friends who had Lyme disease with fairly serious complications (in the Northeast) (Not that Lyme disease is that rare - it's actually much more common than is expected). Each of them got misdiagnosed for multiple years by multiple different doctors until finally getting the correct diagnosis/treatment. So every system is fallible.

the design you propose is to write 10sec chunks of data to an append-only log, which will contain chunks from multiple tables/series? if so, then reading larger ranges than 10sec requires scattered reads of a bunch of small chunks interspersed in the log file. that doesn't sound like it will be fast? the other big tradeoff is compression ratio, which writing data in 10sec chunks (as its final form) would be terrible for.
I see the same thing in natural language processing. A lot of important details come from outside the four corners of the document.

Ironically, I often find myself in the unenviable position of being the machine learning person who's trying to convince people that machine learning is probably not a good fit for their problem. Or, worse, taking some more fuzzy-seeming position like, "Yes, we could solve this problem with machine learning, but it would actually cost more money than paying humans to do it by hand."

Part of why I hate hate hate the term "AI" is because you simply can't call something artificial intelligence and then expect them to understand that it's not actually useful for doing anything that requires any kind of intelligence.

> It's too much work to erase my phone and restore it.

Hmm, care to elaborate? I found the process quite easy, and done it multiple times. One thing that comes to mind is that if you don't have the iCloud backup option on for any reason, and you don't have a mac. Then you need to go through Windows iTunes which is really subpar. (no idea what to do on linux except a VM)

I don't really complain about the need to reset the phone, I'd like them to be more consistent with the messaging thouhg.
Welp, that is terrifying. This solidifies my conviction that the strategy when it comes to cloud services is to diversify. As much as is tolerable.
Chromium seems to me a bit analogous to Linux. Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc are link Red Hat, Ubuntu, and so on. Between the varied stakeholders and the various web standards groups, I don't see Google going off the deep-end and introducing truly unpopular changes. I do see some advantages though, since browser engines are near the same complexity of an OS, it make sense to cooperate on one main engine.
This is a good point. I also wonder if the service agreements start to make a lot more sense for the BTOs due to scale and so they are less likely to be concerned about the right to repair.

Medical physics student here. I work for a hospital that pays $silly per annum to use a type of expensive treatment planning software for radiation oncology. The software comes with a built-in automatic contouring based on "AI".

One of our units covered contouring and the role of the medical physicist vis a vis contouring, which is generally to act as a double check layer behind the radiologist. We received about an hour of instruction on how to contour. After that, the instructor and the class unanimously agreed that every single student had learned to beat the software at recognizing the parotid gland. And not by a small margin.

Why is it so bad? Security is a big reason. The software that can be installed on hospital computers is tightly controlled. Our research group is currently hamstrung by IT after they got mad at us for using PowerShell scripts to rename files. This was itself a workaround for the limitations of above-mentioned software. In turn, we tend to end up with a few exorbitantly priced omnibus programs rather than a lot of nice Unixy utilities that do one thing and do it well, because it lowers the IT approval overhead and the market has gone that way.

Even though my personal situation is frustrating, I obviously recognize that you can't simply allow hospital faculty to install whatever executables they please in the age of ransomware. Commenters hoping for a quick fix are wrong. Almost all meme alternatives have downsides that won't be obvious at first.

(But I still wish every day that Windows would go away.)
The genius of business consultant Nathan Fielder is that his empathy for the consumer is near-unlimited.

I've long believed "open source" is for suckers for exactly this reason. Literally being open source, having the code open for review, isn't a problem. But usually "Open Source" also ends up meaning free as in beer, for EVERYONE, whether you're some college student or a billion dollar company.

The only sane, healthy, sustainable license is the "wacky" one you describe: individuals (and possibly even (very) small businesses) can use it for free. Everyone else needs to pony up. It's absurd that a ton of the software allowing giant corporations to run day-to-day is not only created but ACTIVELY MAINTAINED by an individual or groups of individuals for free, as if they were running a soup kitchen. Microsoft, Amazon and Google are not homeless. They can, and should, pay the people that make the software that keeps them going.

"But if it's open source, couldn't they just fork it and keep using that for free?" Yes, but a. not legally, if the terms forbid it and b. They would now have to find a new group of people to maintain the code, after just creating a bunch of ill-will in everyone in that space. In the end nothing is absolute: you can always just pirate closed-source commercial software too. But doing so has serious negative consequences.
I feel this is a bit like popping your hood at the car shop, but taking your key with you. I can absolutely see why repair shops would want to verify that a) it's not a software problem and b) everything still works fine afterwards, both of which is hard w/o the password.

Sure, you can send in a wiped device or a device without hard drive - and if you can do so yourself, this is probably fine. But for the "average" user it's quite likely a better experience, assuming you can trust the repair shop - but then again, they have full access to your hardware plus the knowledge and time to permanently bug your device. If you really don't trust them, you probably should not give them your device at all.

I can see the issue here and I'd probably err on the side of privacy given the choice, but the other side has a point.
