  AI is very useful in medical sectors, if coupled with human intervention. The very tedious works of radiologists to rule out normal imaging and its variants (which accounts for over 80% cases) can be automated with AI. Many of the common presenting symptoms can be well guided to diagnosis with some meticulous use of AI tools. Some BCI such as bioprosthosis can also be immensely benefitted with AI.

  The key is its work must be monitored with clinicians. As much valuable the private information of patients is, blindly feeding everything to an AI can have disastrous consequences.

  True. 10% is very generous.

  The problem with tiktok is not close-source and being centralised. It is being tiktok

  Best way to use such (para)sites.

  Spot on mate! Love you. Made my day

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dropbox removed ability to opt your files out of AI training⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mega uses e2ee and is available in all platforms I use. I don’t use apple. Web interface is very functional. I think it does support sharing files via link. Should have a search feature also, never used (because I know exactly where I keep my files). It does sync with locals. I don’t know about android file picker.

  Mega is not a good choice for Lemmy users or Foss activists, probably because of its history - which is not as clean as say next cloud, but is not like google either. As long as it works :/

  We are talking for the normies here. And it is becoming more and more difficult to block ads and trackers even for moderately savvy person.

  I hope GDPR covers the HP’s practice in coming days in Europe. Others might follow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If a private company has to succeed, it has to offer things** that normies want.** FB/G is shit because this is what normies consume - the ego-display, the dopamine kick. In every enshittification of a service, there is a history of it being cravingly indulged by the mass. Now when the companies started rising up and used their monopoly, they (the normies) are realizing they have been shit-eating for a long time. One may argue the companies were not so in the beginning, but that would be a very myopic view.

  Thanks, I will search. But I still want to know about my question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft ends free upgrade from Windows 7 to 11⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to run win 10 (or 11 if supports) on a VM with a GNU/Linux host. I have heard about ltsc and ltsb, and now this post has mentioned oo shutup 10. So which one is better to make my win machine lightweight and privacy friendly? I am planning to run only certain specific program like SPSS. No heavy gaming. Thanks.

  I don’t want my little finger be vanished after my 3 reincarnations, I will try to use it more often, I guess.

  Thank you. But this doesn’t explain the number of digits in hands and feet, does it? Great read BTW.
