  • Daww, so cute. Little Lily lost in the fluff

    These two were also inseparable. Usually lil Eddie would also be in the snuggle. Here is Tobie enjoying Bobby’s wonderful fuzzy tummy. Bobby was a jerk that terrorized the other cats, but then we got two kittens and he became the best uncle ever… Tobie would always shove his face in Bobby’s tummy; even when Tobie got to be ~2x Bobby’s size.

  • I have a friend who had developed an expert system for scoring certain lab samples (for cancer). It was a very good system that had few errors and was used for a couple decades. Somebody decided to replace it with an AI system (undefined what sort of AI) and it ended up doing a lot of false negatives, so the lab got sued for missing a lot of cancer diagnoses. Friend’s final task before leaving the company was to update his old model and hire somebody whose primary job was to maintain the old model. On the other hand, a trained monkey (and I’m assuming a LLM) could have done better than the radiologist who looked at my CT scan and said there was no problem, when I could look at it with the basic software they put on your scan DVD and see a fracture across all but a few mm of my sternum. When a different radiologist looked at the scan, he also ID’d several other minor things to follow-up on.
