> We conducted imaging on healthy volunteers, capturing brain, spine, abdomen, lung, musculoskeletal, and cardiac images. Deep learning signal prediction effectively eliminated EMI signals, enabling clear imaging without shielding.

So essentially, the neural net was trained to what a healthy MRI looks like and would, when exposed to abnormal structures, correct them away as EMI noise leading to wrong diagnostics?

I won't be very dismissive of this approach and probably deep learning has a strong role to play in improving medical imaging. But this paper is far, far from sufficient to prove it. At a minimum, it would require mixed healthy / abnormal patients with particularities that don't exist in the training set, and each diagnostic reconfirmed later on a high resolution machine. You need to actually prove the algorithm does not distort the data, because an MRI that hallucinates a healthy patient is much more dangerous than no MRI at all.

I am in the market for an alternative to Databricks' notebooks. Essentially, I want to use spark-connect, but also interact with delta tables directly via polars and duckdb (while still leveraging Ibis).

Support for Observable tier plots would be amazing.
A few months ago there were articles going around about how Samsung galaxy phones were upscaling images of the Moon using AI [0]. Essentially, the model was artificially adding landmarks and details based on its training set when the real image quality was too poor to make out details.

Needless to say, AI upscaling as described in this article would be a nightmare for radiologists. 90% of radiology is confirming the absence of disease when image quality is high, and asking for complementary studies when image quality is low. With AI enhanced images that look "normal", how can the radiologist ever say "I can confirm there is no brain bleed" when the computer might be incorrectly adding "normal" details when compensating for poor image quality?

Does anybody here gamifying his/her life?
I created subreddit to gather people that gamify their life using "gamist approach" - approach where you are playing a game with your life by having a complex game/system (in spreadsheet, Notion, apps like Habitica etc.) and it gamifies your whole life rather than small part of it.

This approach is a niche of a niche and we want to create a small community to slowly spread this idea. If you did something like that - please join and post how you gamified your life.
For a total store order to be meaningful of course it implies that loads are also non visibly reordered. If a store falls in the forest but nobody is around to load it, was it really ordered :)
It may miss some scans because there could be special cases which the model wasn’t trained with and would predict a different result/error. Maybe it’s acceptable in places where you may not even get a chance to be diagnosed
Ok, so let’s say there are ten qualifiers and ten base words for snow. That makes 100 compound words.

It’s still substantially more snow-related vocabulary than in German, it seems to me.
This sentence from the article seems to be completely made up and not based in any actual science:

"Without water to lubricate tectonic activity, our plates will grind to a halt."

In fact, water has nothing to do with tectonic activity, and the "lubricant" seems to be a special kind of molten magma:

Korea builds a lot of nuclear and if anything its only gotten more expensive.
That was one factor of multiple, and the malicious actor chose to exploit it that way. liblzma is in enough critical stuff that they could have chosen to exploit something different had it not been for that.
I agree. So many jobs have “bachelors degree” in the requirements. Doesn’t matter what kind, just have to have one.

I believe companies use this to screen out lower class applicants, because if it had to do with skills a specific degree would be required. For that reason, I think the practice should be prohibited.
"It is continuously pre-trained on Yi with a high-quality corpus of 500B tokens and fine-tuned on 3M diverse fine-tuning samples.

Not so sure about "lots of" corn. That seems like retconning.

Yes, they grew corn, quash, and beans. They were also semi-nomadic and hunted. Until they were placed on reservations in Kansas and Nebraska, where they started raising livestock.

They weren't really notable for growing corn.

Surely a lot of small hospitals would jump at the chance at a small cheap MRI? I don't understand how the incumbents have much legal leverage here...

Exactly. Also, I think an alternative to LLM that is more generally trained towards identifying large linguistic patterns across a language could be cross referenced with the aforementioned more standard llm to at least point to some possible meanings, patterns, etc

Interesting take on Star Wars, because I think it should rather be used as a counterexample: Star Wars was made during the starting era of the "Blockbuster"-movie[0]. Just after movies like Jaws (1975) were a huge success at the box office two years earlier, studios were willing to throw money at directors to counteract any creative constraints.

Far better examples would have been The Blairwitch Project (1999) or Following (1998).

Not to be confused with the language “K” I built for my masters thesis in Auckland in 1985 :-)
I can say that most radiologists would not want a computer trying to fix poor scan data. If the underlying data is bad, they would have recommend an orthogonal imaging abnormality. "I don't know" is a possible response radiologists can give. Trying to add training data to "clean up" an image would bias the read towards "normal".

An alternative solution to hydrogen could be methane synthesis from captured CO2 and green hydrogen. The infrastructure to transport, store and use methane (aka 'natural gas') is already there.

> All (serious) VPN providers claim they don't store logs. But that does not mean that a court can't force them to do so. When combined with a gag order you can have someone collecting all your traffic without you even realizing it. And that's just the VPN provider, which usually doesn't own any datacenters. The datacenter providers can also receive the orders to either monitor traffic or even install hardware to do so. If

None of this really matters unless you are doing something illegal enough that the government is interested in you and convinced a judge to get warrants.

That isn't 99% of people. 99% of people just want to try and stop being traced and their data being harvested with an easy solution that mostly works for that purpose.
> It turns every read into a write.

Not exactly; it turns every passing of a reference, even when it's going to be used only for reading (or not used at all, or just passed on further) into a write of the reference count. But if you can read without passing the reference to somewhere else (or if the compiler can prove that the reference the caller has outlives the reference it would have passed), it can omit the write.

And tracing garbage collection is not completely immune to this; some kinds also turn every read into a write (into a card marking table), copying gc periodically rewrites unmodified objects (when moving them during garbage collection), and the tracing itself might need to read cold objects which might even be located on disk (swapped out).

> Reference counters don't have predictable latency: a single reference decrement can lead to an arbitrary amount of follow up work, like more decrements and deallocations.

However, they have a predictable place for that latency: it can only happen when there's a reference decrement (and the amount of extra work at that point is bounded by the size of the graph which can be reached from that reference). It also will not affect other unrelated threads. With a stop-the-world GC, a thread which allocates too much can cause pauses in threads which are not even allocating or releasing memory at that moment.

> Performance of reference counting isn't generally better than that of garbage collectors. (Especially since you still need a backup solution to deal with cycles.)

However, the memory use of reference counting is generally better than that of tracing garbage collectors, since it releases memory as soon as it can be released. That is, tracing garbage collectors trade extra memory use for their speed; giving them more memory (up to a point) means they can do less work, and giving them too little extra memory can make them much slower.

> Figuring out a lot of your memory management at compile time is definitely a win. But doesn't really have much to do with reference counting.

It does, because it can help reduce the cost of reference counting (by eliding most of the reference count manipulation when it's not necessary).
No thanks, I don't need an anxiety booster.
I think you're confusing the dot com boom with Java.
Couple of years ago, I noticed some weird Outlook headers on our internal company e-mails and decided to take a look. It turned out our company Outlook (or Exchange? who knows) mail server was configured to relay mail through some 3rd-party SPAM filter and the SPAM filter trusted some headers which weren't stripped on ingress. So you could send an e-mail with the headers set and they would reach the SPAM filter unmodified. As the company had a 3rd-party SPAM filter, all Outlook security was disabled. This allowed me to send e-mail with forged sender. Outlook in its amazing brilliance would attach the "sender's" company photo and show some kind of a "Trusted" badge or something.

I reported the issue and the admins weren't impressed. They insisted that this wasn't a major problem since the only way to make the e-mail appear to come from somebody in the company was to use you company account (outside e-mail would be filtered correctly). After some back and forth, I just told the admin to check his mailbox. It said something like, "if you don't think this is serious, you're fired" and it was "from" the CEO, with his smiling photo next to the name.

That finally did the trick.

Yes, sure - but Monaco, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Liechtenstein etc is definitely not going to adopt the rules just because US did.

They will do the exact opposite - triple down, take this new enormous opportunity and develop hundreds of new ways to offer US people safe haven for their assets.

Because we have given up the wisdom of expertise and curators to wisdom of the crowds. Guess what? Mob rule is dumb and incendiary.
Even if you understand every bit of the code, when obscure bugs pop up you have to consider the whole system, and that will quickly overwhelm most people. That’s how pernicious bugs stick around for ages and make the team look like idiots.

Sometimes all you can do is refactor around the problem until you can see it. Or push people to stop being that sort of clever in the first place and write more accessible code.

This is probably one of the biggest reasons right here. Its the whole reason behind inflammatory clickbait headlines.

It's also one of the reasons I avoid most social media, I don't need that kind of negativity affecting my mental health. If its something important, I will probably hear it from a friend or it might appear here on HN.

But even on HN I have been seeing a lot of inflammatory news on the front page. Makes me wonder if someone has built an AI webapp which shows you only the tech related news on HN.
If you wanted to prevent the invasion of 2022, you should've solved the 2014 crisis diplomatically, the invasion was a result of a failure in doing so.

The invasion started in 2014, not 2022.

There was no "diplomatic crisis" at the time. It was an outright, unprovoked invasion from the very start. The same invasion that has continued to the present day.

Your reading of the Winter War is just as backwards. But if you can't get 2014 even remotely correct there's no reason to dissect the footnotes of 1940.

It feels very true for me in America that the moment you like or dislike something or even have an opinion that is a shade of gray instead of black or white, that you immediately get dumped into a binary category. In America this seems to be extremely true regardless of ideology.
This reminded me of the recent request for startups proposal by Surbhi Sarna “A way to end cancer”. The proposal states that we already have a way (MRI) to diagnose cancer at very early stages where treatment is feasible but cost and scaling need to be tackled to make it widely accessible.

It's a fine phrase, evocative, that I agree has become cliché. But that's not the problem here. The problem here is that it's being misused.

While I could strain and make that sort of make sense here (eg it uses up some capacity that would otherwise allow the author to remember other more immediately useful algorithms), it's clear from the article that the author only means "I still remember the CORDIC algorithm" and nothing more.

No congress can trade on insider information full stop

https://blogs.luc.edu/compliance/?p=4459

> Simply put, insider trading is illegal. But, if you are a member of Congress, there is a loophole. Members of Congress and their families are allowed to trade stocks with almost no limitations. There isn’t a limit on lawmakers trading stocks based on classified information nor is there oversight regarding the trades that lawmakers are allowed to make based on other information they are privy to as part of their job. This is in glaring contrast to the strict insider trading laws that ban the same kind of behavior of everyone else in the county.

>To force your body into a purely ketone metabolism, you'd need to restrict not just carbohydrates but also protein. If a person is eating a high-fat, high-protein diet, their body will make glucose/glycogen from that.

That is expected and fine. It wont make glucose/glycogen in the same way/manner it would do from carbs though, and it's not really a problem for getting into ketosis and staying there (as shown by ketone measurements).

That professor was making a pedantic argument it seems.
