  • I didn’t state that “logic”. Per default I assume that everybody understands that we are talking about everything in moderation. Also I specifically stated some boundaries in my original statement, ensuring the mental safety of children during exposure to manipulative ads.

    I assume no parent in their right mind would push their child off a cliff to make them stronger. But parent let their kids test their physical limits by providing them with a safe environment (e.g. playground or backyard) and adult supervision.

    When somebody states “stay hydrated” it is not only pedantic, but also somewhat schizophrenic to reply with “By that definition we should all constantly keep drinking, but too much water too quickly will cause you to die, so your logic of staying hydrated is wrong.”

  • At the radiology clinic where my dad worked, they had a trial with image recognition trained on detecting stuff in MRI images. The AI would draw a red cirlce around every suspicious place it detected.

    What they noticed is that the doctors started to only look at the red cirlces and would miss a lot more of the non-obvious nuances. Which resulted in more completely wrong diagnosis and a lower diagnosis quality overall.

    So I doubt that it will fix stupid for now. Even if it is implemented as a sanity check review, after the doctor has done his work, they might get more sloppy when relying on the AI check to catch their oversight.

    Afaik the best way to improve quality of a doctors work is longer education and more worktime per patient. Or more rigorous processes where multiple doctors have to give their independent analysis on any patient. But any of that is too expensive for profit oriented commercial clinics.

    Sadly it is more economically viable to diagnose as quickly as possible, let some patients die due to errors and fight a lawsuit, then to employ twice as many highly skilled doctors.


  • It doesn’t change the intended meaning but it can change the interpreted one.

    For example when I write “I love to give my data to Google /s” you can be sure that I actually do not love to give my data to Google, whereas leaving out the ‘/s’ I could have meant it sincerely (for example, because I want targeted ads, perfectly tailored to my needs).

    This example clearly illustrates the totally opposite interpreted meaning.

    But in the case of the comment we are discussing, disclosing the sarcasm makes no difference to either side of the conversation (the sender and the readers)








  • I did that and:

    1. The only file that is correct is only of the regular version, so there are a lot of variations missing - you wouldn’t be able to get the same files as by following the paid way. The upload is 8 years old and seems to be part of an opensource website.

    2. There is another upload from 4 years ago, where the files appear to be called by the same name, but it’s not the same font at all. Seems to be part of a website again, which shows a couple of fonts for comparison. Maybe they’ve put it there as a placeholder.

    Thats why I wanted to ask how to safely upload them.
