> My hope is that in a couple of model generations, we'll trust AI to review MRIs the way we trust it to proofread our emails.

the doctors may have financial motives to suggest unnecessary treatments. but i fear, by the time we'll have models powerful enough we'd be _theoretically_ able to trust their expertise, the financial motives will have shifted to the model creators.


somewhat funny to the immature mind: "fut" - the name of the compiler binary - is austrian slang for vagina, but in the most obscene, vulgar way possible. a bit like "cunt", but worse.


i think what they're talking about is an attacker poisoning the data the agent is trained upon to include functionality/a backdoor that can later, after training and when the agent is deployed, be used to induce unwanted behaviour.


that study is widely regarded as unreliable and outdated.


increased testosterone from working out is probably around 10-30% long time, which is a far lower variance than natural level variance in healthy adults. i think i heard from several (claimed natural) strength and bodybuilding athletes that their total testosterone is at the lower end of the scale.

that said, natural free test levels are at a fraction of what enhanced pro bodybuilders tend to supplement, and there are mass monsters with hair. cutler, yates, ferrigno and golden era bodybuilders like schwarzenegger, zane, columbu all had full heads of hair.


Yeah, wanted to point this out. I have mid-range natural test levels, more than my dad, and don't have any signs of balding. My dad lost half of his hair by the time i was born.

Steroid consumers have al least ten times my leves, and while this is a factor indeed, in is not necessarily decisive.



yeah, but if you really really wanted to and/or your livelyhood depended on it, you probably could afford it.


good catch


one example i come back to is multithreaded layouting/rendering browser engines. it was mentioned in the servo blog post back then when mozilla worked on it: "we tried it in c++ but it was simply too hard and complicated" (the argument was that they were able to do it in rust). still, as long as rust wasn't avaiable, the problem was considered "too hard" for the team that wrote firefox. in my opinion that's a solid argument for "programming problem that was too hard".

but as simon said, i too consider coming up with "the algorithms, the strategy" as part of programming. saying "it's easy to do if you know exactly how to do it" is somewhat tautological.


which balance? orban was a parasite, trying to embezzle as much money from the EU without getting the boot (hungary as the biggest per-head receiver of EU funds), while probably also getting paid by russia - a hostile actor - for his actions (i.e. sabotaging the union and sowing dissent through propaganda). there was no balance there.


OK then, some other metaphor to say it allows things to change and allows escape from a static situation. It releases the brakes?
