elrik , to science_memes in Breast Cancer

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a type of preinvasive tumor that sometimes progresses to a highly deadly form of breast cancer. It accounts for about 25 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses.

Because it is difficult for clinicians to determine the type and stage of DCIS, patients with DCIS are often overtreated. To address this, an interdisciplinary team of researchers from MIT and ETH Zurich developed an AI model that can identify the different stages of DCIS from a cheap and easy-to-obtain breast tissue image. Their model shows that both the state and arrangement of cells in a tissue sample are important for determining the stage of DCIS.

How soon could this diagnostic tool be rolled out? It sounds very promising given the seriousness of the DCIS!

Tikiporch ,

As soon as your hospital system is willing to pay big money for it.

VirtualOdour ,

Anything medical is slow but tools like this tend to get used by doctors not patients so it’s much easier

Luckily you could skip it, so I was able to play the rest of the game.

Later a gaming magazine had a guide with an optimal route, that helped me to finally beat it. (after hours of practice)

Schmuppes ,

I can’t remember being able to skip it, maybe they patched that in?

Un4 ,

No patches in those days. Back then when you buy a game it’s in it’s final form.

Schmuppes ,

There absolutely were patches for games back in the late 90’s; you could download them or get them off CDs in the magazines.

Un4 ,

Interesting! Back then I had a playstation and a pc. Never have i ever had a patch for any of the games i owned. The magazine mostly had demo versions of games, freeware or sometimes even a full version of a game. However never seen a path! Perhaps i was an ignorant kid not aware of such features.

Schmuppes ,

In the magazines I bought, they had demos and maybe a crude review video. And when they had some spare space on the CD or DVD, they’d add a folder with patches.

XeroxCool ,

They could also just change the game they sold. I had an early print of Need for Speed Carbon for PS2. I couldn’t unlock most of the cop cars due to a bug, iirc. Later burns fixed it

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cyclist blow through a red light, most cyclists don’t have a death wish. I’ve seen tons of cars do it though. And my area has a lot of cyclists vs most areas.

Kausta , to science_memes in Pandas

You havent seen anything until you need to put a 4.2gb gzipped csv into a pandas dataframe, which works without any issues I should note.

thisfro ,

I raise you thousands of gzipped files (total > 20GB) combined into one dataframe. Frankly, my work laptop did not like it all that much. But most basic operations still worked fine tho

QuizzaciousOtter ,

I really don’t think that’s a lot either. Nowadays we routinely process terabytes of data.

Kausta ,

Yeah, it was just a simple example. Although using just pandas (without something like dask) for loading terabytes of data at once into a single dataframe may not be the best idea, even with enough memory.

$100 is small claims territory. Most jurisdictions, it’s against the rules to hire an attorney and must be represented by someone who has the authority to make a settlement.

What are the odds they send a “manager” who has that authority and they just ‘happen’ to be a lawyer? Also, would that be legal? I don’t see why it wouldn’t as they could just claim they are there in their capacity as a manager.

HubertManne , to science_memes in Suffering

I really not sure about that last paragraph of the premise shot. I think the top is finite suffering for finite deaths but infinite individuals and then the bottom is finite suffering for infinite deaths of finite individuals. Honestly it sorta seems like the deaths are the suffering or at least part and parsel with it so I think it finite suffering/death for infinite individuals or infinite suffering/death for finite individuals.

Everyone overlooking the rigorous maintenance required on the trolley. There will need to be several seamless swap outs each day with cleaning and engineering crews to keep the trolley, tracks, and grounds around running in a fulfilling order. And probably some ovens.

Honytawk ,

We are overlooking it, because it isn’t part of the hypothetical.

Otherwise we would also be discussing the logistics of tying infinite people to the train tracks, or the regeneration speed of human bodies.

It is either finite suffering for infinite people, or infinite suffering for finite people. Which implies the train to keep working for infinity.

“We”? Who’s “we”?

All the other “experts” that failed to realise either option cannot occur indefinitely without a good limb clean out every now and then?

You can imply what you like, but the meme diagram is very clear and should be taken light-heartedly very seriously. Especially since it’s the Trolley Problem scenario.

lvxferre , to nostupidquestions in Help me understand littering
@lvxferre@mander.xyz avatar

People - everyone, including you and me - don’t think before most of their acts. And a lot of bad habits boils down to conditioning or lack of.

That’s likely the case for littering: they do it without thinking, justification, or reasoning. “I got some trash, I don’t want it, so I throw it on the ground.”

MeowZedong , to asklemmy in What has been the worst church service you have ever attended?
@MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Went to a wedding and the pastor’s pre-ceremony sermon was fire and brimstone followed by a rant about how it was God who gave him the right to marry, not the state. Lots of stuff about the wife being subservient to the husband and acting as his servant. The deep state government was being controlled by a satanists who call themselves secular humanists. Marriage can only happen between a man and a woman and the state was defiling marriage by allowing gays to marry, but it wasn’t real marriage according to God. Some really wacky stuff to talk about at a celebration. Killed the mood.

Turns out my friends had joined one of those extreme, right-wing cults and this was their normal pastor. This group was worse than any of the usual bad actors and interacting with any of their congregation was weird. We fell out of touch for some reason.

Reminds me of my great aunt’s funeral.

So I come from a muslim(ish?) background, but no one in my family or extended family goes to mosque or anything, or says “selam aleykum” everytime we meet (we just say “merhabalar” (i.e. ‘hello’)). It’s just a cultural thing. Most cultural christians want a priest at a funeral, and most cultural muslims want an imam.

Anyway, back to my great aunt’s funeral. The imam was there, doing the prayer in arabic because that’s what you do, even though no one could understand what he was saying. At one point however, he switched to a language that we could understand, and it was very clear he was telling us that we were bad people and bad muslims for not attending mosque, and that our aunt will pay the consequences of our failings.

Needless to say, at the next few funerals we went with a different imam. A nicer one. One who understands that religion is not a key aspect of many people’s lives, but that spirituality in times of distress can be a great comfort.

narc0tic_bird , to linux in The least happy computer users: Those running Arch Linux & Firefox

This is one of those correlation != causation things, hm?

It might be more a case of the “average” Arch user being more sensitive to small quirks/bugs or certain defaults. Arch is at least comparatively unbiased, which might be why these users pick Arch in the first place.

I would personally agree with where Arch is because I prefer a distribution that mostly works out of the box and already made a lot of the decisions for me that I don’t want to be bothered with. I do still customize quite a few elements to my (sometimes very specific) liking, but I also like that I don’t have to do anything when it comes to configuring my disk layout, or configuring zram, or install and configure fwupd or other packages that kind of just make sense to have.

But I don’t really see why Arch users can’t be as happy with their choice as I am with mine, unless the only reason they “use Arch btw” is that they think that’s unironically something to brag about (or peer pressure, but that shouldn’t be a thing I hope).

superkret OP , (edited )

This is just fun with statistics. I don’t think your Linux distro has a big impact on your overall happiness in life, but of course you can order the results by any parameter you like.
Often, it’s a third factor that influences both, in this case probably age, which influences happiness and distro choice.
Or maybe having the time and inclination to install Arch correlates with being in a bad place in your life right now.
I know I was tinkering with Linux all day when I was procrastinating and locked away in my room for days.

in this case probably age

Arch: for the young'uns with some fire left in them that just discovered open source and want to stick it to M$ and show off in front of friends.

Debian: When those people grow up and start having to do actual work on their computers...

I went through that cycle over the last 25 years. Thought I was hot shit running Slackware on a ThinkPad 380 when all my friends were on Windows 98. Then I got better things to do than running configure scripts all day and tweaking the UI yet again.

Bitrot ,
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I installed Gentoo on an already ancient IBM Thinkpad with a Pentium 100. It had to use Debian boot floppies to kick off the installation process.

I don’t think I’d do that today.

superkret OP ,

I run Slackware because I got better things to do than configure my system.
The installation was a bit more involved than Debian cause you have to set up grub and install flatpak yourself, but then it just sits there, works and never really changes, which is nice.
It’s designed to not surprise you and let you do with it whatever you want, including nothing.

True for me. I’m using Arch because I don’t have a system that can run Gentoo ;P

Actually I’ve oscillated between the two for many years. Every few years I switch to the other one and enjoy it for a few. … Only, now I’m stuck on a laptop that would melt if I tried to put Gentoo on it v.v I hope some day I will have a real computer again v.v Among other things 😅 😞
