So where is the bug report?

Name them?

All I'm seeing is "some guy posted a blog entry about a three-year-old paper". Surely it must have been on Slashdot before, though I can't actually find it with Google.

You lie, troll. That works as documented in all versions of systemd in use.

Lying troll detected -- systemd does, unlike sysvinit, save stderr to the journal.

If you don't want to use systemd with jessie then use init, or even upstart if you want.

Ubuntu doesn't use init you moron, they abandoned it years ago.

It even says that in the summary.

Probably not - at least in this case. They are looking at a specific form of cancer, lymphoma. Lymphomas do span the gamut from being indolent to extremely aggressive, hence the need for accurate diagnosis, but we have a fairly good idea of what the natural history of each subtype is. This system is not designed to mow through a bunch of clinical data and pop out a 'cancer' diagnosis.

That said, TFA is incredibly poorly written. It is anything but clear WHAT information they are using (pathology slides? DNA samples? Chart notes?) and it is most certainly not AI.

While over diagnosing pre clinical cancers is a concern, this particular methodology won't make that worse. In fact, if it actually does work, it might decrease what are essentially false positive diagnoses by linking the testing component to the natural history of the disease (eg, 'this particular cancer is mostly harmless, don't worry about it much').

LOL - no, 1945. Hear me groaning? I usually catch typos before I hit the submit button - this time - no.

I don't know about 1845 - they may have had a little baby boom.

It is also quite good after a workout or in an airplane.

I suppose it is useful to have purely theoretical discussions around here from time to time.

This conversation always seems to forget that everyone who is old was young and that everyone who is young will be old. It's in young peoples interests to make sure older people are respected for what they have learned as much as it is in older peoples interests to help make sure younger people can establish careers.

What we should be criticizing is the myopic view of companies that devalue the experiences of older people to exploit the energies of younger people. It robs younger people of the opportunity to access the experiences that made older people's brains more efficient for problem solving - that is what experience is. It not only robs older people of work opportunities, it also robs them of seeing ideas built on and evolved. That denial of perspective is what holds back the evolution of ideas.

If this is true within Google then it renders their motto 'Don't be evil' hypocritical. The denial of wisdom and experience is a recipe for fragility for companies who don't have access to key knowledge at key times required for them to survive. That is why you pay more for experience, the ROI on youth.

In reality ageism is discrimination against anyone subject to the progression of time.

You ought to re-think that. No, I'm not "firmly into the Baby Boom". The Baby Boom began in 1845, and had tapered off by the time I was born. The real baby boomers are all over sixty now.
