Comment on Our AI midwife in ~health
Deely LinkIf anyone is interested here author comment why fibroid was not detected using ultrasound:If anyone is interested here author comment why fibroid was not detected using ultrasound:
Author here -- yeah, it's wild right? Here are a few more details for the interested. The problem fibroid was intramural with a submucosal component (mostly in the muscle wall), so I guess those are hard to see on ultrasound? Pathology report says 6 cm, I double checked. I'm tempted to share a pic, that thing was big and gnarly looking.
She didn’t get a hysteroscopy until after the MRI, doing that sooner would have been a good idea but it was never presented as an option.
She had other fibroids that were seen on ultrasound and removed during a surgery for endometriosis, so it's not like we didn't know fibroids could be an issue.
Obesity was not a factor, she's 5'6 120 pounds.

Comment on Steam recently made a fundamental change to indie game discoverability in ~games
Deely LinkSpotting smaller Steam games getting more front page referrer traffic than they used to? That’s cos, some time recently, Valve changed the featured front-page games in 'Discounts & Events' (the non-Daily Deal ones) to be more personalized to logged-in player interests.
A few friends with smaller games confirmed the same, essentially 0 visits became a few thousand.

I was definitely very much unsure dozen years ago, but now I have two kids. They are pain in the ass most of the times (there some complications that I do not want to discuss), but they are precious to me and they are my family.We do not know what happens in the future.
We can't know what happens in the future, and this is both horrible and both wonderful.
Upd: it's definitely giant responsibility, but... All our life is giant responsibility.

What bothers me, is that the simplest way to implement all these functions is government id and total spying from govt..
I don't see an easy solution.
Ufff.
This hits nail on the head. Not sure did I use idiom correctly, but that's my main issue with all these AI staff. More responsibility, more velocity, more automation, and you still responsible for the resulting mess.
I honestly stopped to point errors in AI generated documentation made by other people, why bother. Maybe I'm just burn out.
