@Gina Theoretically, AI may be able to better identify women's health issues than some rando doctor, but as a American™ the whole idea of giving all my medical information to a company that's more than likely to turn around and sell it to the highest bidder creeps me the hell out. Especially since those companies could very well be health insurance companies that could decide to deny me coverage based on conditions I may or may not even have. And that's assuming the "AI" is not some random LLM.
@mike "OpenAI's new 'dedicated experience' that taps into your medical records..." What could go wrong 😀
On the other hand, as a woman™ I'm actually kind of excited for the advanced pattern recognition that AI could bring. It might help with better identifying women's health issues.
@eniko I want to say we used AABB and sphere tests as coarse tests, and anything that survived the initial elimination got a more expensive test that miiiight have just been the spherical slice test, but I'm remembering something about calculating a culling primitive in object space instead of world space and getting a major win from that, but I can't remember what that was about and I don't think it was this.
@eriol@informapirata Il problema di personaggi famosi e politici è proprio questo: influenzano, e hanno i soldi per farlo. Poi nel caso specifico delle persone trans, la stessa scienza ha conoscenze relativamente recenti e neanche tutte. Le persone in questione sono poche, e allora ci si sente in diritto di sminuirle. O peggio.
@evanAmusingly for a hardcore techy like myself my wife is a deeply not.I have her on a minipc with 16 thread cpu, 32 GB ram & 1 tb nvme running ubuntu.She does all her real work on it. Its definately simple for her & works very well.Key point: she has bundled on site level 1-3 tech support like the old mainframe days.So yes but...
I've noticed this when reading news articles or listening to podcasts. They'll talk about someone announcing this or that, and then embed a Tweet. And I'm looking for the link to the thing in the Tweet, and there isn't any. The Tweet is the thing.
