Image categorisation AI, or convolutional neural networks, have been in use since well before LLMs and other generative AI. Some medical imaging machines use this technology to highlight features such as specific organs in a scan. CNNs could likely be trained to be extremely proficient and reading X-rays, CT, MRI scans, but these are generally the less operator dependant types of scan, though they can get complicated. An ultrasound for example is highly dependent on the skill of the operator and in certain circumstances things can be made to look worse or better than they are.

I don't know why the technology hasn't become more widespread in the domain. Probably because radiologists are paid really well and have a vested interest in preventing it... they're not going to want to tag the images for their replacement. It's probably also because medical data is hard to get permission for, to ethically train such a model you would need to ask every patient in for every type of scan it their images can be used for medical research which is just another form/hurdle to jump over for everyone.

I use Lemmy and moved here in protest of the Reddit API pricing changes, but I'm not entirely opposed to other forms of social media. I'm aware of the privacy implications of a lot of them, and try to manage my use of them accordingly. I have Instagram and Snapchat etc which I have used for years to keep in touch with friends. 90% of my friends use Facebook messagenger to IM and I think that's pretty standard in Australia. I can't justify cutting that many people off for privacy reasons. I understand the privacy implications of using these. It's a balance. Social media can be bad for mental health, but a lack of social connection can be too. You need to find your own balance.

Well, I'm not a doctor, but if you asked me, there's your problem. There is literally nothing you can do for someone in that situation that doesn't involve professional help and medication.

Delusions of grandeur and delusions of persecution are both symptoms of BPD. Both are normally associated with the 'highs' or mania. Does your friend ever go through periods of the opposite. Are they medicated for this condition?

They don't want to be contacted. I don't think we have any moral obligation to supply them with medicines or technologies that they don't want, even if they would objectively improve their quality of life.

No they will probably never advance substantially in technology. To get to where the developed world is today took centuries of industrialisation and trade.

But there are, presumably, happy with the status quo.

I think AR and VR are actually progressing at a reasonable pace, tech like the apple vision pro and the bigscreen beyond are beginning to converge to a comfortable and powerful experience and AR will be better supported by a platform like the vision pro than by any previous major industrial AI offerings like the hololens. I think in the short term people will move to external compute on a puck worn on the waist much like the battery of the vision pro was but with all or most of the compute power.

I think BEVs will continue to advance, without even considering a major technological breakthrough I expect they will out-range many ICE vehicles very soon. If solid state truly goes commercial scale it will be even sooner.

Mobile phones I actually think are stagnating. You're right that there's more power in them than necessary these days. Batteries get bigger and cameras get better but not much else changes. Interested to see where they go.

Standard resin becomes very weak at even low temperatures. There are special heat tolerant resins you can buy though.

Yes, the joke is that if the sequel is just called Cyberpunk 2, it's only logical that it is set in the year 2. The game will be set in the future.

Legend

Australia: 20 days PTO by law, 13 public holidays (depends on the state, but no less than 10 which are national), 10 separate days for use when sick or caring for someone who is sick. There's more entitlements for different scenarios but this is pretty much the baseline.

I haven't played it yet but apparently this 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" is fantastic. I'll quote a friend who just finished it: "Just finished Clair Obscur. Probably not 100%, but I've beaten the superboss and completed the story. It has the exact same feeling as finishing a really good book that makes you feel bad in all the good ways, the kind that has you stare off into the distance after putting it down for the last time."

Personally I feel like I haven't played a great story driven game in a long time. Maybe Baldur's gate 3 could appeal to you. Still not sure it sucked me in as much as Horizon did though.

On a deep sale, the Jedi Fallen order and Survivor are good story games.

I also work in automotive, all of the messages related to starting the car (which is required for climate control) or unlocking the vehicle will be encrypted with keys you will not be able to extract. Many have MAC authentication and counters for invalid attempts. Too many wrong hits and you'll trigger a DTC which may need a visit to the mechanic to clear. Furthermore, a lot of the behaviours you want to trigger that are done via the app normally use a telematics unit in the car that will authenticate with the OEM server. You will not be able to get this authentication. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but what you're trying to do is exactly what car thieves wish they could do, which is why we put in every effort to make it extremely hard.
