Why would you jump from an ultrasound to chemotherapy? It's not meant to be a definitive diagnosis, it's just an early screening process...

I'm not so worried about the data being useful, I'm worried about the machine actually working.

I mean, with that much data, you may be able to understand under what timeframe a tumor is actually of concern. What's so bad about having some false positives?

I think getting more medical data could prevent a lot of health problems, and collecting it in a relaxed and frequent environment could be interesting. This announcement is honestly just... a bit weird. They're talking about wanting to do a billion scans a month, but they haven't even mentioned what the ultrasound data can tell you about your health, nor have they showed a physical demo of the product. I think the latter is the most important part, does it actually work?

Importantly, the researchers told it to do that specific task.

A law that is not enforced is ultimately a suggestion

This is not just another incremental release. OpenCV 5 is a major step forward.

Am I the only one that finds this sentence very cheesey?

Why did you write it as "1969ties"?

I tried to become a contributor to Canvas (it's open source), but I couldn't even get a development environment setup because of their storage space requirements.

It is recommended that you have at least 150GB of available hard drive space, 8GB of RAM, and a quad-core CPU to use this script.

As far as I can tell, this is not for running a production environment with assets. This is just the development environment.

A truly wonderful read

70 months, or 5.83 years

What other reasons?

Perhaps red is selfish, but blue is most certainly foolish.

Is it worse? Wouldn't the red people end up with more like-minded red people?

It's naive to think that 100% of people will press the red button.

Those who press the blue button are trying to save those who press the blue button. If they weren't trying to save each other, they wouldn't have to.

All textbooks are free if you know where to look

Optimized? Perhaps.

Optimal? Not even close.

That does what?

I can't seem to tell exactly what they built. They call it a runtime, but they're using NodeJS?

Did they implement a transpiler in Rust?

They also seem to be calling Rust from JS, but not through wasm...

They seem to be doing something with Rust and http, but they're also just using "Pingora"...

Additionally, their homepage is about 20 fps while scrolling on my phone (pixel 4a, brave)

I would honestly love for someone to explain to me wtf is going on.

Alternatively, they could just make the web UI good.

It generates real wasm that runs directly on the machine.

Well, it's not directly on the machine. You still need the wasm engine/runtime to run it

They're like an OS by analogy, but all of them require an actual OS to interface with the hardware. I don't think making that term fluid is a good idea. If we did, how would I refer to... "an actual OS"?

Currently it runs as a desktop app on Linux, macOS, and Windows

Does that mean it's not actually an OS?

Wake up babe! New system prompt just dropped!

So this is an issue with WASM/JS interop, not with Rust per se?

It's not an OS, it's a distro

It's a game changer for reading large codebases and debugging.

Error messages were the "slop" of the pre-LLM era. This is where an LLM shines, filling in the gaps where software engineering was neglected.

As for writing code, I don't let it generate anything that I couldn't have written myself, or anything that I can't keep in my brain at once. Otherwise I get really nervous about committing.

The job of a software engineer does and always has relied upon taking responsibility for the quality of one's work. Whether it's auto-complete or a fancier auto-complete, the responsibility should rest on your shoulders.

What in the world is YAML engineering?

Talent is evenly distributed

How so?
