… I didn’t but I guess I could start?

There are a lot of things doctors record in evaluations, and they feed these AIs this information and instead of these AIs spitting out a “diagnosis” they calculate risk of harm vs risk of further investigation.

In things like pediatrics, this reduces the need for unpleasant and dangerous procedures - a CT scan impacts a 6 year old way more than a 30 year old.

AI is extremely useful for problem domains with a ton of input, medicine being one. Doctors can only do so much and rely on algorithms just like the AI does. The AI has the benefit of being able to do it a fuckload faster, more accurately, and compare it to more relevant things.

Don’t confuse it with generative AI. this is a very different system than that.

Yeah, same boat. I’m continuously learning new shit with C# and I’m starting to understand Angular after all these years. I could switch back to Java with few issues.

I would love to learn Rust, but there’s no time right now.

You have no idea. He got into a sledding accident last night and wasn’t feeling great this morning and may have to go to the doctor. He said it was “tell them its amazing! with the ‘explanation’ marks!”

Oh, my, God.

My 6 year old son is super into pink unicorns and robots

this will blow his mind

Spore!

I don’t know if that fried spaghetti sandwich would work in real life but I want to try now

I cant find anything to back them up either.

My RAV4 was $30k, took a loan on it for about 25k, no interest, it’s paid off. In terms of maintenance I’ve put ~$10k on it over time.

It gets 22mpg, and I drive <10k miles a year. Currently at 53k miles, that gives us ~2410 gallons of gas. I’ll be generous to account for the spikes in gas prices and say it was $4/gallon -> $9640. At 6 ish years, that’s now ~$60k It’s a Toyota so I expect it will last a while. Taxes started at $400/year and are now $150/year. That’s about a cost of $10k/year. In the unlikely scenario I keep it for 20 years, I might hit $200k over its lifetime.

If people are spending €1.5m over the lifetime of their cars, they are getting scammed

Is it really that expensive to own a car outside of the U.S.? That seems absurd

I think they used to do this, but Betelgeuse has these weird periods where it changes its form rather rapidly. I would have to look into it again, but I think they decided that transition between fusion cycles isn’t static (H-He -> CNO and back sort of thing)

Eta Carinae, while a definite supernova candidate is 7500 lightyear away from us. It will be nice and bright, but I’m more hopeful we’ll get to see Betelgeuse go supernova. 500 light years away, and it will be as bright as the moon for months.
