FuglyDuck , to nostupidquestions in How do sport shooter bring their gear to international events ?
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

The simple answer? You declare it at customs and make sure to follow the relevant laws.

Any questions you might have can be answered by the appropriate embassy/state department. It’s part of the job, after all.

One thing to note. Always, always clear out your bags- everything you’ll be taking and pack them carefully. Make sure not to have anything that would be illegal to where you’re going; even if it’s legal where you are. (And this includes countries you’ll pass through.)

You will be searched and more than likely it will be found. You don’t want to be the next Britney Griner only to find out that you’re not enough of a superstar to illicit media interest.

Drusas ,

It was bullshit that she was arrested for something stupid, but she did break their laws, and it's also bullshit that she got out of it just because she was some semi-well-known athlete. Oh, and it's bullshit that an arms dealer got released to secure her return. She really fucked up.

dirtybeerglass , to asklemmy in Is a used ThinkPad Carbon X1 Gen 6 worth it for $400?

I can’t speak for your local market but this looks like about £100 north of the going rate in the UK.

Good machine though.

You are paying a premium for Carbon, you can get the same performance from T series - 480’i think.

Detecting is not enough to be useful.

EatATaco ,

The test is 90% accurate, thats still pretty useful. Especially if you are simply putting people into a high risk group that needs to be more closely monitored.

Slotos ,

“90% accurate” is a non-statement. It’s like you haven’t even watched the video you respond to. Also, where the hell did you pull that number from?

How specific is it and how sensitive is it is what matters. And if Mirai in www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.aba4373 is the same model that the tweet mentions, then neither its specificity nor sensitivity reach 90%. And considering that the image in the tweet is trackable to a publication in the same year (news.mit.edu/…/robust-artificial-intelligence-too…), I’m fairly sure that it’s the same Mirai.

EatATaco ,

Also, where the hell did you pull that number from?

Well, you can just do the math yourself, it’s pretty straight-forward.

However, more to the point, it’s taken right from around 38 seconds into the video. Kind of funny to be accused of “not watching the video” by someone who is implying the number was pulled from nowhere, when it’s right in the video.

I certainly don’t think this closes the book on anything, but I’m responding to your claim that it’s not useful. If this is a cheap and easy test, it’s a great screening tool putting people into groups of low risk/high risk for which further, maybe more expensive/specific/sensitive, tests can be done. Especially if it can do this early.

Btw, my dentist used AI to identify potential problems in a radiograph. The result was pretty impressive. Have to get a filling tho.

D61 ,

Much easier to assume the training data isn’t garbage when the AI expert system only has a narrow scope, right?

MonkderVierte ,

Sure. And the expert interpretes still. But the result was exact.

somename ,

Yeah, machine learning actually has a ton of very useful applications in things. It’s just predictably the dumbest and most toxic manifestations of it are hyped up in a capitalist system.

Thats like saying your favorite type of cheese is American, sure its technically cheese but its so processed and removed from cheese that its just not the same as mozzarella.

JimVanDeventer ,

I made grilled cheese for my father in law in India where it was not insignificantly difficult to find “American” bread and processed cheese. It’s comfort food that crosses borders and cultures.

Edit: You United Statesians got that weird cheese thing right and I will die on that hill.

@Nighed@sffa.community avatar

Most bike lanes are worse than riding on a road unfortunately. Especially for confidant cyclists.

I equally hate those that break/bend the rules of the road, whether on bikes or in vehicles.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

Exactly. If those lanes exist, they’re right next to parking, and I’m much more worried about getting doored than hit from behind by a car. Nobody looks at their mirrors before getting out of the car…

If there’s a good bike lane, I’ll take it every time.

Nighed ,
@Nighed@sffa.community avatar

I find the ones on roundabouts near me insulting, instead of being on the road and having right of way, you now have to sprint across two lanes of traffic without any right of way. - more dangerous!

Most of the rest are just wide pavements. Technically segregated, but you have to give way on every side road (when your not manoeuvrering around entire families) - technically safer, but not nice to use.

The rest are just short and spit you back out onto the road without and protection or markings.

London has some good ones though.

sparkle ,

bicycle lanes are usually death gutters. they’re better than nothing but it can be safer to not use them depending on where you are

there should be separated bicycle paths/lanes separated by barriers that motor vehicles can’t… y’know… easily go into or open their door in front of

also I have legitimately never seen people on bicycles disrespecting road laws unless those road laws enforce something that is unsafe. like disallowing rolling stops. car drivers violate road laws all the time though, not including speeding but i’m pretty sure almost every driver sees speeding as normal too

ChickenLadyLovesLife ,

I have legitimately never seen people on bicycles disrespecting road laws unless those road laws enforce something that is unsafe

Come to Philly where you can see guys on fixies blowing through red lights without even looking left and right first. Or go anywhere and see people (of all ages, surprisingly) riding against traffic on the wrong side of the road - something that is the perfect blend of illegal and stupid, although not quite as illegal and stupid as the first thing I mentioned here.

This meme is dumb. They all are. Both shooters are kitted the same, with lifelong training. Stance dictates kit requirements.

What they’re saying is that the most important “equipment” they have is skill and experience.

Shooter on the let’s experience includes the classes and that particular stance. Shooter on the right uses a different stance and glasses. Both are extremely skilled and have practiced in a particular way.

An IPSC shooter from the US will have a very different stance as well.

I’m not well versed in the laptop market, so I can’t tell, but ThinkPads are never a bad choice. Try to find the best specs possible for the price. Maybe a newer gen of X1?

earmuff , to science_memes in Breast Cancer

Serious question: is there a way to get access to medical imagery as a non-student? I would love to do some machine learning with it myself, as I see lot’s of potential in image analysis in general. 5 years ago I created a model that was able to spot certain types of ships based only on satellite imagery, which were not easily detectable by eye and ignoring the fact that one human cannot scan 15k images in one hour. Similar use case with medical imagery - seeing the things that are not yet detectable by human eyes.

Maalus ,

Yeah there is. A bloke I know did exactly that with brain scans for his masters.

earmuff ,

Would you mind asking your friend, so you can provide the source?

earmuff ,

My intended use case is to find possibilities how ML can support people with certain tasks. Science is not political, for what my technology is abused, I cannot control. This is no reason to stop science entirely, there will always be someone abusing something for their own gain.

But thanks for assuming without asking first what the context was.

weaselly bullshit. how exactly do you intend for people to use technology that identifies ships via satellite? what is your goal? because the only use cases I can see for this are negative

if the only thing your tech can be used for is bad then you’re bad for innovating that tech

No, I didn’t think about that. If you did, why exactly were you so hostile to me asking what use you thought this might serve?

earmuff ,

I don’t think my reply was hostile, I just criticized your behavior assuming things, before you know the whole truth. I kept everything neutral and didn’t have the urge to have a discussion with someone already on edge. I hope you understand and also learn that not everything is entirely evil in this world. Please stay curious - don’t assume.

booty ,
@booty@hexbear.net avatar

I just criticized your behavior assuming things, before you know the whole truth.

I didn’t assume anything. I asked you what your intended use case was and you responded with vague platitudes, sarcasm, and then once I pressed further, insults. Try re-reading your comments from a more objective standpoint and you’ll find neutrality nowhere within them.

earmuff ,

(…) are you trying to help government agencies perfect spying? sounds very cringe ngl

Tell me again which part of your reply is telling me, you are actually interested in an objective discussion, without assuming things and wanting to start a fight for no reason.

I struggle to find that part.

booty ,
@booty@hexbear.net avatar

I pointed out what I considered (and still consider) to be the most likely use for the tech you were describing, while asking you if that was your intention. A simple “no, actually I was thinking more about another use case” would have been a far more neutral and reasonable response. Instead, you assumed I was speaking in bad faith and responded in kind. You are the only one making assumptions or starting fights for no reason.

Yes, typically hexbear replies are right.

It’s not unfortunate though, it’s simply a matter of having an understanding of the world and a willingness to accept it and engage with it. It’s too bad that you seem not to want that understanding or that you lack the willingness to accept it.

My science is not. I like my bubble.

How can you possibly square that first short sentence with the second? Are you really that willfully hypocritical? Yes, “your” science is political. No science escapes it, and the people who do science thinking themselves and their work is unaffected by their ideology are the most effected by ideology. No wonder you like your bubble - from within it, you don’t have to concern yourself with any of the real world or even the smallest sliver of self reflection. But all it is is a happy, self-reinforcing delusion. You pretend to be someone who appreciates science, but if you truly did, you would be doing everything you can to recognize your unavoidable biases rather than denying them while simultaneously wallowing in them, which is what you are openly admitting to doing whether you realize it or not.
