You know when you're a kid, and you (hopefully) have that kind of warm background feeling of being looked after, and that feeling sort of matriculates upward into your emerging worldview and you just kind of assume, at least until proven wrong, that the powers that be are there because they're mostly competent and have your best interests at heart?
One reason I know I'm a communist and not just a nihilist, other than all the reading I have to do, is that the achievements of societies run by their people instead of the creeping cosmic horror of capital, can still make me feel that sense of wonder, of progress, of comfort that some great power out there really does want what's best for everyone- and it's on the rise
That's a lot of latency with regards to surgery. The robots themselves are designed to have almost none to keep it as safe as a similar laparoscopic procedure. The tech is good but there needs to be less latency before any regulator would approve this
Historically, surgical robots were funded by the pentagon as a project to perform remote surgeries in a battlefield. Latency made that project fail, but refined the tech used in modern surgical robotics
The tech is good but there needs to be less latency before any regulator would approve this
To this idiot 100ms doesn't seem like a lot, are surgeons really operating on like jet fighter levels here? Going by feelings alone I feel like "do it 20% slower to not cut an artery due to 100ms delay" seems like a huge step up from "Nobody is there to save you, RIP bud"
Yeah, I think that's how it's going to work in the future. The best part is that everyone will have access to good surgeons without having to live in big cities.
Uber-Surgery. They'll automate as much as possible and then an underpaid remote surgeon will step in for any difficulties. Thousands will die on the table.
Ah fuck you have a point. They'll just hire foreign doctors to do the surgeries for higher pay than they would make in their own countries but lower than what you would have to pay an American doctor.
US doctors about to get boned when they don't have a union.
Seeing comments below about the now forgotten claims of uyghuir (idek anymore) genocide, making me think about how liberals have abandoned that position now with gaza being blown to smithereens and the Palestinian people being displaced, if not systematically murdered. Really makes you thonk
Anyways from the headline and China's numerous other w's, seems good, and make me more hopeful for a better world still
Oh believe me there are definitely those out there still trying to perpetuate the Uyghur genocide myth while Isn'treal's very clear and undeniable crimes against the Palestinians is ongoing.
So then I suppose we give them Havana syndrome while they hold two opposing thoughts by calling them on the bullshit, it won't fundamentally do anything, but it will be funny watching them short circuit for a bit, especially when they get mad at you for wishing Mr 4chan was a better shot
