I must have missed something. Why did they return?

I think the whataboutism beanis is one of the more intellectual contests, but the bernie bro-down is a classic

Does your beanis go to 11?

[–] dat_math@hexbear.net 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

maybe not? I would think the fact that the dialectic over intervention/interference is so thoroughly explored means it can't be inherently expansionist but idk I essentially skipped TOS

expansionism

explain the prime directive...

What am I missing here?

Mostly, the pith of what I wrote, which has little to do with value judgement, quality of diagnosis, or even patient outcomes, and more to do with the similarity between the neurological effects on the practitioners associated with using descriminative models to do object detection or image segmentation in endoscopy and those of using generative models to accomplish other tasks

You claimed they had nothing to do with each other. I disagree and stated one way in which they are similar: both involve the practitioner forfeiting the deliberate guidance of their attention to solve a problem in favor having a machine learning model do it and maybe doing something else with their attention (maybe not, only the practitioner can know what else they might do). It would seem in the "Endoscopist deskilling..." paper, that particular variable was left free (as opposed to being controlled in some way that could be task-relevant or task-irrelevant, to provide a contrast and better understand what's really going on in practitioners' minds).

To elaborate a bit further, when I said,

a human is deliberately forfeiting their opportunity to exercise their attention to solve some problem in favor of pressing a "machine learning will do it" button

I didn't mean that a human is necessarily no longer doing anything with their attention. Specifically, when a human uses a machine learning model to solve some problem (e.g., which region of an image to look at during a colonoscopy), this changes what happens in their mind. They may still do that function themselves, compare their own ideas of where to look in the image with the model's output and evaluate both regions, or everywhere near both regions, or they might do absolutely nothing beyond looking solely in the region(s) output by their model. We don't know and this is totally immaterial to my claim, which is that any outsourcing of the calculation of that function alters what happens in the mind of the practitioner. It's probable that there are methodologies that generally enhance performance and protect practitioners from the so-called deskilling. However, merely changing the function performed by the model in question from generative to discriminative does not necessarily mean it will be used in way that avoids eroding the user's competence.

This guy remembers the fundamental theorem

[–] dat_math@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

so it is image recognition and has nothing to do with generative ai.

I'm not sure if I'd go so far as to say it has nothing to do with generative AI

in both cases, a human is deliberately forfeiting their opportunity to exercise their attention to solve some problem in favor of pressing a "machine learning will do it" button

for those with the ~~eyes to see~~ lungs to inoculate

 

I have family out in Arizona and seeing/hearing liberals waking up to the ways water and energy development threatens their future, as well as their lack of inclusion in the so-called democracy that enables it gives me some hope. Maybe it's just liberal reaction to the cheeto?

mad props to this yellowshirted fellow with the courage to wear this to a city council meeting

 

feds infighting when they could be enjoying borderland beanis

I'm going to become a purveyor of fine beanis and there's nothing my family or yours can do to stop me

 

So what do you call people who believe in a literal Stalin?

beanis

 

Me, heading into the desert to gather more beanis:

Phaseolus acutifolius: :

 

The light greenish substance is a jalapeno, cilantro, and tofu sauce, the dark green bits are roasted peppers.

(not food: Bhonus owl I saw on my walk):

 

Conservation of mass?

Do they understand that producing energy and fertilizer using the bodies of animals is less efficient than producing the same number of calories or mass of nitrates from plants+less-energy-than-is-required-to-raise-the-animal-in-question?

 

can't think about the erection if you hyperfocus on :beanisbeanis

Beanis

Beanis

The whole day through

Just an old sweet song,

keeps Beanis on my mind

Nuts and drupes reach out to me

Other fruits smile tenderly

still in the peaceful peas I eat

the 'gumes lead back to you
