Me at a congress about technology and medicine.

Presentation about future of AI in medicine.

The speaker complains that current European laws blocks progress.

The laws? GDPR, medical data protection, and privacy.

In that congress there were two sides on AI in healthcare, one making emphasis on improving care and outcomes and huge emphasis on privacy and security, and the other envisioned a Medical Minority Report/Big Brother-like future where there is zero human connection with the patient.

It doesn’t matter how good is internet connection nowadays, the source in the server is still encoded losing some quality.

Tried to watch Batman Begins in HBO Max, despite being offered as 4K UHD, the loss of information was noticeable on my OLED tv, specially the blacks (as you know, there is almost no black colour in Batman /s).

A friend of mine lend me his Nolan’s Batman trilogy on BR 4K UHD and it was like night and day.

Since the lbs I’m buying physical for movies that I like the most and want to watch them in the highest quality possible.

I did not experience it personally, but in Spain LaLiga is forcing ISPs to do the same and lots of websites get fucked in the process.

This, this finally made me reach back my LG TV and disconnected the Ethernet cable.

Where I live there are two official languages, the one from the country, Spanish, and the one from the region, Valencian, so you have places and streets named in one and translated into the other and both are valid. Some important places have only one official name in Valencian.

Well there is a huge historical railroad station called Estación del Norte (North Station) that people called it by translating it into Valencian, and now the official name is Estació del Nord.

The thing is that the station was never located on the north of anything in the city, it is called Norte because that’s how it was called the company that built it.

Making the translation official not only increases the confusion about its location for people who doesn’t know the city, but it also hides its history, I know a lot of people living here that don’t know where the name came from and who build it.

I don’t have issues with making official naming in Valencian as long it does not change the name of a person or company.

Thanks

I’m a bit lost. Wasn’t the killer a far right dude who disliked Kirk and MAGA for not being far right enough/in the same ways as him?

Can someone get me up to date?

Is the mini fan cooling the heat sink part of the nozzle working?

I had an issue with the adventure 5m pro where prints started to fail and the nozzle got clogged, it was the fan not working and plastic melting where it shouldn’t.

The customer support gave me another fan and a mew nozzle.

I have premium through a page that makes family groups and you pay a lot less. From time to time there is an issue with the group and you spend like two days without premium until it is fixed.

During those periods YT is unwatchable and I skip using it until the issue is fixed

Where I live the water is very hard, poor quality (but inside of the allowed limits), and also the pipes in my flat’s building are fucking old, so yes, I only drink from bottled or filtered water.

It might not pose a real risk, but I prefer err on the safe side. Additionally the Brita filter removes the nasty taste that the tap water has here and the kettle doesn’t have lime stains.

HR: IT detected that you watch porn at work.

Employee: I’m not, it’s all SFW videos

HR: OK, no problem then.

A Klingon D’k Tagh, I couldn’t finish it properly and the paint job could be better, but I like the result.

An ice tray to cold down a router.

I changed ISP, the new one told me that it would take like a week to send me the credentials to use my own ADSL router 🙄, in the meantime I had to use the cheap-ass one they provided.

The new service crashed like after five minutes of use, after some some back and force with the technical support unsuccessfully I notice that the router was extremely hot when the connection crashed and normal when it started to work again.

It has not any cooling system, and being in the middle of the summer didn’t help either.

So…. I tried to put an ice tray from the freezer on the router and it worked. To be “safe” I put a plastic bag between them to avoid any condensation dripping onto the device.

Thanks

Jury Duty, binge watched and loved it, I couldn’t stop laughing.

Silo.

Severance (rewatching cause season 2 is around the corner).

Star Trek Strange New Worlds (also rewatched waiting for next season).

Usually he speeds right to the point.

Yep, he likes to go fast and not slowing down for anything.

I’m doing a PhD on machine learning so… No, I want to create tools to assist professionals and improve QoL, not to fuck them.

IMO the best case scenario for a truly real AI would be Data, but I think it would be more probable we ended with Lore.

I’m not sure if it counts as an AD but seems like an AD, many many moons ago (I think when Apple TV+ was introduced), they changed the “home screen” with the apps in your Apple TV to an Apple TV+ one with their content (and some linked from other platforms).

The apps view still exists but now the “home” button gets you to the Apple TV+ one unless you click it again from there (unless you accidentally scrolled a bit and the button) or double click it to open the menu with the recently opened apps.
