> Researchers at the University of Leicester have created a new AI tool [based on random graph neural network] that can detect COVID-19. // The software analyzes chest CT scans and uses deep learning algorithms to accurately diagnose the disease. With an accuracy rate of 97.86%, it's currently the most successful COVID-19 diagnostic tool in the world

> PCR tests [... can] be affected by hysteresis - when the physical effects of an illness lag behind their cause

> The software, which can even be deployed in portable devices... will also be adapted and expanded to detect and diagnose other diseases (such as breast cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, and cardiovascular diseases)

(Well, this latter part could be much clearer: you need the CT scans, obviously, so why would it be important to implement the software on a mobile device... It would maybe be impressive if it meant that the ANN is so efficient that a pocket computer suffices, but in the above terms it could be a client software... The results may be notified anywhere, but there is little less portable than the tomography scanner. So, this is puzzling. Also, in general, how costly is a CT scan - and how proportionate to diagnose COVID?)

Original research article: NAGNN: Classification of COVID-19 based on neighboring aware representation from deep graph neural network https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/int.22686

> We utilized transfer learning to obtain the image-level representation (ILR) based on the backbone deep convolutional neural network. Then, a novel neighboring aware representation (NAR) was proposed to exploit the neighboring relationships between the ILR vectors. To obtain the neighboring information in the feature space of the ILRs, an ILR graph was generated based on the k-nearest neighbors algorithm, in which the ILRs were linked with their k-nearest neighboring ILRs. Afterward, the NARs were computed by the fusion of the ILRs and the graph. On the basis of this representation, a novel end-to-end COVID-19 classification architecture called neighboring aware graph neural network (NAGNN) was proposed

The article seems to focus on the AI techniques employed - and should be interesting in this regard.

I suspect the oddities in the divulgative article come from uninvolved reporting from some press release or similar.
there's a lot of relevant things i could get into on it. in short though, disposable items are cheaper and despite what a lot people think - most of us are broke.

after you adjust to dealing with disposable items a lot.. you kind of grow out of the feeling that every item is special and needs to be repaired to max extent and kept for as long as it can. It feels anthropomorphic / overly sentimental to do that. the moral argument gets the curtain pulled back and there's very little substantiating it. imo, at least. Curious if you can shed better light on your moral stance here tbh. im not die-hard on this subject and would happily update my views if convinced otherwise

I respect that you have a productive hobby interest in repairing items, and for the most part I share that. But I dont see anything wrong with throwing something away that could be salvageable. Once it stops working, it is just parts and material and I now become part of the demand for toasters. What's wrong with letting toaster specialists handle toaster demand? In the time it takes me to repair a toaster, the specialists can produce 100 of them. and thanks to people like me buying from them rather than doing it myself, they remain productive members of society and get to feed themselves. And I get a couple hours back to do something else to potentially improve society or my personal life.

All that said, I do think there is a lot more we can do with waste management to better deal with disposed parts and materials, though. A lot of how we handle disposed goods is definitely wrong. we mix materials with food waste and it makes everything gross and expensive to work with. food waste really should be a hard split from everything else but maybe one day
Yeah. I wish that we determined who the actual "junkie" is on a case-by-case basis, not by the fact of consumption alone. I medicate for the same reasons mentally sick people do, but I actually have a physical brain damage and my limbic system might be the region affected along with many others. I am able to treat the mental issues, and the same medication happens to help with the incontinence I have. If I told anyone about it, they would consider me a junkie. I do not even get high from it, for fuck's sake. It makes me more neutral, otherwise I'm an emotional wreck, full of suicidal thoughts that I end up acting on eventually as I used to.

I go through intentional withdrawal every N months to reduce my tolerance. I tend to keep the dose as low as possible. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I do not. I might buy that box that has a lock with a timer on it or something. ^^

I do not consider myself a junkie just because I am dependent on it, similarly how people are not junkies for depending on beta-blockers. They need it, and I need it too. It just happens to be something some people tend to abuse. Well, I do not wish to suffer because of them. Again, I do not get high, I do not get any of those feelings that would make me crave it. Many people might, but many people do not have the same medical condition as I do, I guess.

As I said, I am not "100% with daily use". I sometimes fail at controlling the dose, because sometimes my issues are worse, but... I wish I did not have to depend on it. It fucking sucks. I do not want to depend on it, but I have tried every psychiatric medications there is during my years... None of them helped one bit. I had no idea that what I am taking would work either, I stumbled upon it by accident. Again, I wish I did not need this, but I am afraid I will die taking it unless they find a proper treatment or cure for what I have. But yeah... it sucks. I could talk about it more, like how I cannot even get out of bed and do my damn job without it and such, but welp.
I really don't like articles like these. The author takes a cute analogy and turns it into guiding principals.

> Physical UIs can be more intuitive and usable than screens

Physical UIs also don't need to help the user navigate digital content. Hugely different to physical content.

> When tech is rugged, it’s a joy to use

It is? I would say that when tech accomplishes its job of connecting the user with the purpose of the tool (in an easy way) - then it's a joy to use. Ruggedness can be a boon here, sure.

Personally, as a musician, I've never been on stage and given preference to knobs & dials - I've given it to the sound and what I want the audience to experience with my playing or a song - not the joy of me stomping something.

Bit of a rant, sorry about that. But these sorts of "full of content, but no message" articles bug me.
Social needs. Children need to learn how to be in relationship with others, it is the most fundamental need we have and is so important for the future of our planet.

If I were to homeschool, it isn't about the learning, that is easy, it is about providing an environment where children can learn to co-exist with others. That can still be done with homeschool, but it will need to be intentional with daily activities that involve being in relationship with others, in physical form.

That's exactly what the court did. Congress is now forced to clarify the charter if they want the same regulations in place.
This is likely at least partially driven by a desire to stop maintaining Intel versions of macOS.

Apple tends to keep the list of supported hardware short anyway, but there’s added incentive with the architecture change — Intel macs are missing several things that are present in M-series macs, which means that they can’t write updates assuming those features are present, which naturally complicates things. There was a bit of this with the PowerPC → Intel transition too, though I’d argue that change wasn’t nearly as dramatic, with the main difference being increased clock speeds and core counts. M-series is more significantly different from Intel (and x86 as a whole) overall than Intel/x86 was from PPC.

I suspect that the first release of macOS where Intel support is out of the picture entirely (or restricted only to 2019 Mac Pro towers with an M-series accelerator card installed) will also bring the most radical set of changes shipped in a macOS update in a long, long time since they’ll be able to make those aforementioned assumptions.

Does this justify cut back support timelines? Probably not, but it tracks with Apple’s typical mode of operation.
Ozone burns everything it touches. It smells nice while it destroys cells in your nose, throat, and lungs.

Ozone-producing consumer devices are banned in California. They are legal to sell in other places because of the negligence of regulators.
Yeah, I thought 35k (when I left) was too much. 70k definitely feels insane.

One of the great things about FB before that was that it was small and had ambitious goals, so you'd tend to work on important stuff, as would everyone else.

But they kept making more money and hiring more people, and the culture got murdered (again) due to external senior management hiring.

And the last four to five years have hollowed out the original core of competent execs. Their replacements are less good, which cascades downhill and causes more problems.
Yet.

Crypto alone is easily a dot com sized scandal.

Paris and LA were awarded the Olympics as a single decision without the normal bidding process - because there weren't any other legitimate and serious bids being put forward.

The 2026 World Cup was awarded to "North America" because the only other bid was from Morocco and FIFA didn't think they had any hope of being able to pull it off. They estimated that Morocco would need to devote 15-25% of their entire GDP just to build the facilities. The North American bid just had a list of cities and stadiums that might host some games and told FIFA to take it or leave it. They only decided on which stadiums they are going to use last month! And the list is missing a bunch of big cities that said "no thanks, we'll pass"!
What a brilliant argument. Can you cite anything . .just anything at all to back up your premise or are you just going to present that as fact?

App Tracking Transparency was the primary reason for the ad behemoth to slow down leading to the domino effects we're seeing here, but clearly , in your mind, there's an alternate set of facts running.

It could, having the option is important here.
Yes, not only do they offer it but some insurers will give you credit card gift cards to help pay for treatment. That is how dysfunctional our medical system is at this moment. Providers will lock insurers at one rate, negotiate a different rate for self-insured that could be lower/higher. And insurers get wind of this and try to sneak pay the self rate.
Take a look at pylogctx maybe it'll do what you need.
If there's back and forth interaction I wonder if it is to aid improving their "legitimacy footprint" from metadata or something to avoid spam blockers.
Probably not even necessary to do that much. Point it at Cloudflare backed by an S3 bucket with a single "in memorandum" page and host it until the end of technology as we know it for ~$1.
Maybe worth trying pylogctx and python-logging-loki or see how it's done there.
Was there any serious consideration of tag and release? or when you say "capture" do you mean catch, tag and release?

Ecologically speaking, it might be better to leave a viable cat in place than remove it and make a territory to fight over. This is why feral cats in some cities are chipped, speyed and released (they cut an ear to mark it sterile)

Cloudwatch is cheap (even free) for small environments and has very small operational overhead.

The cost, however, can easily get out of hand and AWS does not have per resource billing enabled by default. So it might not be obvious which Log Group is responsible for for which charge.

I also think its console is way inferior than something like Grafana for searching and visualisation.

I don't disagree that those are the words, but the fact that the sample images are in a dim room is a huge red flag for me in terms of believing them.

Also don't forget that a lot of the crazy increases in brightness recently is just us learning you can run a ton of wattage through LEDs if you figure out heat dissipation. The 1 hour (non-rechargeable) battery life on these things likely means they are running very little power through the display (plus who wants anything even slightly warm on their eye?)
> The sad thing about news like this is that most people only pay attention at all because they've been bombarded with anti-Russian propaganda, not because this showcases Google's awful anti-privacy practices. Despite years of warnings, examples and analysis of where this can lead, the only thing that matters in the end is some emotional trigger word that makes the public think they are dealing with an "outgroup".

Please be more specific about who you're criticizing here. Presumably not ProPublica, as they've been reporting on Google privacy issues for 10+ years. I'm also not sure what you mean by "emotional trigger word" - this story is about illegal and unethical activity by a major corporation that stopped as a direct result of ProPublica's investigation. Who are these "most people" that care about this story but not any other privacy issue?
> But as I said, I'm not buying that it's somehow "ableist," in that I'm sure that most folks don't know (or care, for that matter) that the author of TFA has a physical issue that limits what she can do.

Well, you know, it's both.

We should be tolerant and more welcoming of other peoples' choices that don't affect us.

And sometimes we're being even worse-- being a real asshole because other people aren't able to make the choices we're sneering at them for-- because of reasons of ability, or economics, or what's possible in the place they live, etc.

When we are ready to form snap judgments of people for what appears to be their preference, we may actually be judging them for ability or economics or location or cultural background. We may be judging them for something they have little ability to control.

> Don't like pre-minced garlic? Don't use it.

There's a million things you can do to make food better. Yes, fresh ingredients are better, hand-prepared with no wait, etc.

But unless you are spending all day and oodles of money making a Michelin-class meal, you're making some tradeoffs-- tradeoffs of cost, time, effort, learned skills. And you can still make a fantastic meal that's much better than what people typically eat with pre-minced garlic and shredded commodity cheese.

But it's pretty easy for us to collectively turn judgey on small specific things.
> if they are not providing the best prices, their customers will go elsewhere

Nope. Not if they can inject enough noise into the comparison process to hide the differences. There's a reason they threw so much money at getting bronze/silver/gold standards killed. They knew it was critical to avoid being squeezed.

> pharmacists complaining

Pharmacists are a tiny part of the bloat picture and it's always easier to put the screws to smaller players. Come back when drugs and hospital stays stop costing twice as much as the rest of the developed world, or stop growing 10% y/y (on top of regular inflation) and then I'll believe that insurance companies are doing their negotiating job.
I've long assumed they do the exact opposite - try to filter out people who likely see through the game so they don't waste their time mining a hill with no gold.

And they do this by intentionally making basic mistakes or other easy to spot errors so the clever people will just see themselves out and by the time their funnel gets to an actual human scammer, they have a highly probable sucker.
xrandr (and predecessors, like xf86vidmode, xf86dga, xf86miscsetsaver) , xrender, xvideo (& xvmc) were X.org-isms. If you tried to run against another Xserver, the app either had to handle the case without the extensions, or you didn't run it.

setxkbmap is another interesting thing. There are about two people in the world that know, how it works. Additionally, the linux console used separate mechamism to set console keyboard and font. So it was a duplication of a kind. The nice thing about wayland compositors is, that they remove duplications; X.org (or was it XFree86?) originally included it's own dynamic linker / module loader, driver system and another functionality, that should not be a business of a display server.

So I'm a bit more optimistic. It will became better to the same degree, but it won't be tomorrow. It wasn't quick for X11 either, it took literally decades. Not a consolation, I know.
Exactly, it should be a best effort thing not harassment. I'm sure they are probably monitoring its availability no doubt.
The story doesn't discuss what's causing this, but another story in Rolling Stone has a plausible lead:

> “They [company] were kind of implicating the customer in not cooking them correctly, but I definitely did because I cook a lot of vegetarian stuff,” says Aarts, who is a vegetarian and allergic to gluten. She says she sautéed the lentils until they started to crisp and even blacken a bit because she knows they need to be cooked thoroughly.

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/daily-...

It turns out lentils contain lectins, a class of molecules with some alarming chemical characteristics:

> Lectins are carbohydrate binding (glyco)proteins which are ubiquitous in nature. In plants, they are distributed in various families and hence ingested daily in appreciable amounts by both humans and animals. One of the most nutritionally important features of plant lectins is their ability to survive digestion by the gastrointestinal tract of consumers. This allows the lectins to bind to membrane glycosyl groups of the cells lining the digestive tract. As a result of this interaction a series of harmful local and systemic reactions are triggered placing this class of molecules as antinutritive and/or toxic substances. Locally, they can affect the turnover and loss of gut epithelial cells, damage the luminal membranes of the epithelium, interfere with nutrient digestion and absorption, stimulate shifts in the bacterial flora and modulate the immune state of the digestive tract. Systemically, they can disrupt lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolism, promote enlargement and/or atrophy of key internal organs and tissues and alter the hormonal and immunological status. At high intakes, lectins can seriously threaten the growth and health of consuming animals. They are also detrimental to numerous insect pests of crop plants although less is presently known about their insecticidal mechanisms of action. This current review surveys the recent knowledge on the antinutritional/toxic effects of plant lectins on higher animals and insects.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15302522/

It appears that lectins are degraded by heat, thus the importance of proper cooking.

Well, except that they don't provide anything similar to cables or electricity; what they distribute is content. How's that not a publisher?
