I work with pathologists and radiology is way ahead of us with AI use in clinical setting (but still not very far). Only things that get serious use are lab-developed (ie not commercial) image analysis algorithms for very limited (tedious, error-prone and ultimately not that often used) biomarkers. Don't believe the hype.

You could also look at the market, one of the biggest players, Paige, was acquired for about 30% of the money they raised.


Nuget/.NET ecosystem just handles it so much better. Netvips assumes libvips is available and they provide packages for common platforms. No need to waste electricity rebuilding stuff, or install native build chains, build and test deps. Similar for Skia or Sqlite or whatever.

sharp does this too:

https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install/#prebuilt-binaries

it can sometimes need to compile the C++ shim that sits between node and libvips, but that's rare.


but how can you verify that the prebuilt binaries aren’t compromised?

Out of interest, do you verify that every single binary file on your machine isn't compromised? All the packages coming from your package manager?

I absolutely don't. I even sometimes use "curl | bash" to install new things on my machine because most of the time it's easy and I tend to trust the authors.

My point was just that I don't think moving to pre-built binaries solves this issue.


sharp downloads over https and checks the sha256 (I think?) of the archive.

SSD is also soldered for little performance advantage.

You say "little" but the actual numbers seem to point to none. There are M.2 NVMe SSDs that are faster than Apple's soldered ones.

It might give great financial performance advantage though.

Wouldn't something like this also work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elias_omega_coding I've used to great effect for compression

does everyone who gets photographed by a satellite get an "absolute right" to destroy the satellite then? Bit of a slippery glidy no-fun slope

When those photographs are used to commit acts of war, yeah

shh there is no "war"

> How can you make it illegal for the business to get a loan?

That would also be legal. But if you take the assets out of the daughter company you would go to prison for https://web.archive.org/web/20141030194421/http://www.sfo.go...


The daughter company would presumable be allowed to purchase goods and services. What prevents those goods and services from being supplied (at a hefty markup) by another company under PE control?

If it's done for the purpose of defrauding debtors of the daughter company, the law

Impressive chip but picked benchmarks where 256 core chips score the same as 128 core (Vera itself has 88 cores)

The LLMs are not even that good at law. I have a license agreement that I wanted to turn into General Terms and Conditions and they kept failing or rewriting the whole thing from scratch when a competent lawyer would just do a few pinpoint changes

I found the opposite to be true. Did you use a legal specific plugin?

Woah just tried Sonnet with Legal plugin and it's scary! It did a decent job of putting the stuff I wanted in place but it made subtle corrections all over the place (deleting "but not limited to", "reasonable effort", "and all related interests", "(including any termination and refund rights)" all of which may be unnecessary or crucial but I don't trust Sonnet over the lawyer who put them in place in the first place!). Removing these had nothing to do with the task I've asked Sonnet to do.

No, just Cline with Qwen 3.5 35B A3B.

I was thinking it's highly confidential (contract!) but thinking about it again I'll just publish the T&Cs so it didn't make sense to protect it.


I like it that you can play the way you want. And some are definitely not easier than the classics. Try Kingdom Come Deliverance (1 or 2) with the "do not kill anyone" achievement

Even if he did so what? It doesn't say "never use AI".
