“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones. ”

--Niccolò Machiavelli, 1513

How about making Gemini less shit for reliability?

China is also stoking hatred of AI online.

Using AI, of course.

Humanity is quite capable of wiping itself out, AI has a long way to go to catch up.

Based on the last 50 years? Progress is being made.

I've just retired the last of my NVidia GPU's because support, particularly under Linux, has become too painful, and new cards are too bloody expensive.

Got a ROCm version?

Only if the GPO policy is in place. By default, you can do personal authentication against OneDrive, even on a domain joined desktop.

Shows how little you know.

I work in the medical profession. Downloading images that contain patient health information is supposed to be controlled, but that doesn't mean it always is.

And it's not the "microsoft account" you have to worry about, it's someone logging into OneDrive with their personal account, which can be a separate authentication.

There are mitigation policies that can be deployed, but you kind of have to know to enable them. By default, this is a massive potential HIPAA violation.

Right, because as a linux user, I wouldn't have any interest in a company increasing their support for linux.

I actually *do* know what GOG does, but it's a poor assumption to make for what is purportedly a "news" site.

No link to article, assumes everyone knows what GOG is.

Hard to believe no one takes slashdot seriously.....

Well, that, and mocking this sentence:

Since the base rate in the USA is 20%, that means after sitting for three 8 hour days, your risk has increased from 20% to over 100%.

... that explains the massive spike in cancer deaths in 2020.

Wait... what?

A company with a security model so bad that an AI agent could wipe the whole thing out was one rogue application away from disaster anyway.

What I see: No backups, no disaster recovery, no separation of privilege, no sandbox, no development environment.

Play Stupid Games, win Stupid Prizes.

I had a lengthy conversation with a doctor once, and it revolved around the "90% problem". 90% of the time, a patient who presents with symptom "X" has condition "Y". I said OK, what if the patient has something else? What if they're part of the 10%?

Well, according to the doctor, it would take an overwhelming amount of evidence to convince the doctor it *wasn't* condition "Y", before they'd even look at other options. If you happen to have a condition that might only affect 1% of the population, chances are you may die before any doctor looks beyond the 90% causes. I get that they *start* with the 90% case-- that makes sense. Jumping to the rare cases is a bad idea ("It's never lupus"), but you have to be willing to admit your initial diagnosis was wrong, and many doctors just... can't.

AI is better than that.

I'll use one of your examples against you: "blood tests indicating high sugar = Diabetes". Well, no, because diabetes is a generalized term. There are other tests to run that might narrow down the causes more significantly, but, most doctors, like you, assume "diabetes" and stop there. If the person is skinny, it might be type 1, if they're fat, it's obviously type 2. Was *literally* told by a doctor "you're fat, of course you have diabetes"-- Now, that was *technically* accurate, but the two were both triggered by an underlying condition that any endocrinologist should be able to recognize. She didn't.

Yes, and no. Most ER doctors are trained to solve the emergency-- get the patient to a non-emergent status, and possibly admit them, but beyond that, their remit is not to cure the patient, but to resolve the current crisis.
