Technology@lemmy.world•Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study FindsEnglish
3·2 months agoAs I said in my comment, the technology they use for these cancer screening tools isnt an LLM, its a completely different technology. Specifically trained on scans to find cancer.
I don’t think it would have the same feedback loop of bad training data because you can easily verify the results. AI tool sees cancer in a scan? Verify with the next test. Pretty easy binary test that won’t be affected by poor doctor performance in reading the same scans.
I’m not a medical professional so I could be off on that chain of events but This technology isn’t an LLM. It suffers from the marketing hype right now where everyone is calling everything AI but its a different technology and has different pros and cons, and different potential failures.
I do agree that the whole AI doesnt have bias is BS. It has the same bias that its training data has.

21·2 months agoI don’t think its fair to say that “ai has shown to make doctors worse at their jobs” without further details. In the source you provided it says that after a few months of using the AI to detect polyps, the doctors performed worse when they couldn’t use the AI than they did originally.
It’s not something we should handwave away and say its not a potential problem, but it is a different problem. I bet people that use calculators perform worse when you remove calculators, does that mean we should never use calculators? Or any tools for that matter?
If I have a better chance of getting an accurate cancer screening because a doctor is using a machine learning tool I’m going to take that option. Note that these screening tools are completely different from the technology most people refer to when they say AI

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Filipino woman worships green statue for 4 years, finds out it is animated character ShrekEnglish
3·3 months agoDecent modern printers can handle overhangs fairly well. If the overhangs get too big you can use supports. If you want to get fancy there are filaments meant to be used only as supports in a multi-material print that dissolve in water so they don’t leave marks on the print.
FWIW I don’t think it was printed upside down. It would complicate things and would require more supports for no benefit.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Judge blocks Colorado law requiring health warning on gas stoves. He says there is no evidence that gas stoves cause or contribute to health issuesEnglish
3·3 months agoI think any modern stove will work that way.
Something that helps mitigate it is using pots and pans with more thermal mass. Cast iron is great for that. I know not everybody wants to deal with it so really any pots or pans that are on the thicker side will be better.
I notice it a lot more when I’m forced to use the dirt cheap thin non stick pans.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Dry Shampoo is the teenage girl equivalent to teenage boys' Axe Body SprayEnglish
6·4 months agoNah, axe body spray had legit use-cases. Dry shampoo can be replaced with any other brand of dry shampoo.

2·6 months agoWe actually get 220V to the house that gets split up into two different phases of 110. Kitchens and laundry rooms get 220 for ranges and dryers. IIRC the gas appliances are because of marketing and lobbying but I could be wrong.
