hmm surely next time we deploy a ml model to predict illness or analyze medical imaging it’ll work and not end up as a huge untrustworthy, undocumentable idiot systems that clinicians hate and distrust which crashes six times weekly and even if it does work, 50% of true time it fails because of incomplete data

I was certain I was going to nail them with my mirror. They then ended up in the ditch. Fortunately they were fully able to move but we kept them immobilized until EMS arrived. i read all your big beautiful posts. just like our great (greatest!) wet president to ever presidency

I woke up to use the bathroom around 1:43am and drink a cup of water. That woke my neighbor up and he started doing percussion on the piano to play off some stress and started lifting weights, and then I couldn't sleep because I started thinking about how he could hear my couch cushions squeak when I roll over and how neighbor complaints can lead to someone getting thrown out and becoming homeless if you aren't quiet enough. Then I played FFXIV for 40 minutes and tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't after 40 more minutes and got back up Now there are 2.5 hours left until my alarm clock goes off galenanorth has issued a correction as of 10:44 on Sep 2, 2020 |
