  • Not specifically but I think the guidance is applicable to most incisions of the heart. I think the fact that it's a muscular and constantly moving organ makes it differently than something like an epidermal stitch.

    And my post isn't to say "all mistakes are good" but that invariablity can lead to stagnation. AI doesn't do things the same way every single time but it also doesn't aim to "experiment" as a way to grow or to self-reflect on its own efficacy (which could lead to model collapse). That's almost at the level of sentience.

  • My son's surgeon told me about the evolution of one particular cardiac procedure. Most of the "good" doctors were laying many stitches in a tight fashion while the "lazy" doctors laid down fewer stitches a bit looser. Turns out that the patients of the "lazy" doctors had a better recovery rate so now that's the standard procedure.

    Sometimes divergent behaviors can actually lead to better behavior. An AI surgeon that is "lazy" probably wouldn't exist and engineers would probably stamp out that behavior before it even got to the OR.

  • And on the autism and ADHD diagnoses the definitions have changed over the years. Nobody really gets an Asperger's diagnosis anymore, it's ASD Type 1. People are also more aware of the term and more likely to get their children evaluated instead of dismissing them as "different" or "mentally handicapped".

  • “Bona fide communications internal to a house of worship, between the house of worship and its congregation, in connection with religious services, do neither of those things, any more than does a family discussion concerning candidates,”

    So... can I register my family as a nonprofit?

  • And resistance to one disease doesn't mean resistance to all diseases or that the other qualities of those chickens (e.g. overall size, egg yield, temperament) are desirable. And as we've seen with COVID and other diseases like Polio the surviving chickens could also have a reduced quality of life after recovery.

  • If it's a mostly self-contained app, like a game or a utility, then Flatpak is just fine. If a Flatpak needs to interact with other apps on the host or, worst case, another Flatpak it gets tricky or even impossible. From what I've seen though, AppImage and Snap are even worse at this.

  • Small thing, but if you're torn between two or more choices look and see if one uses accessible screws to attach handles. Mine are kind of snap on and one of them is loose. I'm thinking I have a 30% chance of breaking something plastic during removal and having to buy a completely new handle.
