  • I’m not at that exact company, but a very similar one.

    It’s AI because we essentially we just take early scans from people who are later diagnosed with respiratory illnesses and using that to train a neural network to recognise early signs that a human doctor wouldn’t notice.

    The actual algorithm we started with and built upon is basically identical to one of the algoriths used in a generative AI models (the one that takes an image, does some maths wizardry on it and tells you how close the image is to the selected prompt). Of course we heavily modify it for our needs so it’s pretty different in the end product, and we’re not using its output to feedback into a denoiser and we have a lot of cognitive layers and some other tricks to bring the reliability up to a point we can actually use it denoise, but it’s still at its core the same algorithm.




  • Yeah that’s what I do for work, it can detect respiratory diseases or even tumours from scans long before even the best human doctor could do reliably, and our work has already saved hundreds of lives and we’re still only just rolling it out. It’s legitimately going to revolutionise medicine.





  • The British didn’t cause the famine, they “just” made it worse.

    And really it’s not even “the british” that are to blame. It was the rich land owners that continued to export the food grown in Ireland in order to make profit and the conservative (well, whig, but they are the spiritual predecessor to the modern conservatives and where politically conservative at the time) government that stopped and aid and refused to ban exporting food out of Ireland as they believed the famine was divine providence.






  • Again ignoring the fact that Russia fucking agreed with hitler to invade Poland, and the mass rapes and lilling of polish civilians as they “”“liberated”“” them because it doesn’t align with your narrative so you just fucking ignore it, then you wonder why I’m not taking you seriously?

    Yes they obtained limited authority…then the soviets marched their army into Ukraine, brutally suppressed any resistance and then took away that autonomy. And you just ignore the whole invasion thing because it doesn’t align with your narrative.

    Yes, I could make that argument with the Belarusians too, thank you for making a great point for me. The Russians sent other people to die for them then claimed as if it was the entire soviet union that suffered these losses when the vast majority of them were non Russian eastern Europeans, and to answer your question I mentioned ukraine, 1. Because they lost 10,000,000 people. And 2. Because we were talking about Ukraine.

    No I’m not siding with the nazis, but you know who did? The fucking soviets when they agreed to invade Poland together. Also look up the Russian penal battalion and order no. 227 they forced “punishees” to charge en mass against enemy positions while the red army set up blocking battalions behind then to stop them from retreating, sometimes even executing soldiers that would try to retreat. This is well documented and not something you can just randomly claim didn’t happen. But I do expect you to ignore it as usual since it doesn’t fit the narrative.

    What part did I not acknowledge?

    All of it? You’ve just ignored it entirely this whole time.

    There was a hunger episode

    Fucking lmao, thank you, this was exactly the kind of insane mental gymnastics I was expecting. Calling a man made famine a “”“hunger episode”“” fucking hell.

    What? Eastern Germany saw collasal investment after they were reintegrated? You are right about the west developing in favourable conditions though, because they weren’t fucking brutally opressed by the soviets. Something that is also very very well documented but that you choose to ignore and deflect by talking about the global south as if the soviet union didn’t exploit materials and cheap labour in exactly the same way. Which is again an inconvenient truth to you, so you just pretend it didn’t happen.

    Oh yeah the classic tankie reaction of losing an argument of “anyone that disagrees with my authoritarianism is a nazi” that’s still used by modern day Russia to do things like justify it’s invasion of Ukraine. And ironically enough is basically just the Nazis “cultural marxism” bullshit in reverse. But yeah keep glazing for the totalitarian undemocratic state that opressed its people performed ethnic cleansing of minorities and invaded it’s neighbours while calling other people indistinguishable from Nazis without a hint of irony. This is why sensible and smart people hate you boot kicking troglodytes, because its still just authoritarianism, but wrapped in a red an yellow wrapper, and you people are so incredibly fucking stupid you actually fall for that. Honestly it’s a miracle you lot don’t straight up support hitler since his party had “socialist” in its name, but I guess the decades of soviet propaganda can override raw stupidity.


  • Oh yeah I’m sure the Polish people are so glad the soviets “saved them from Nazism” after they struck a deal with hitler and invaded their country together. And I’m sure they were even more greatful when the soviet soldiers rated their way through Poland on their way to Berlin.

    I’m sure the Ukrainians appreciate the Russians brutally suppressing their independence, forcing them to die en mass against the Nazis, often times not even being armed and sent to the front lines, then having their natural resources stripped, opressed and subject to genocide.

    And it’s frankly beyond telling you refuse to even acknowledge my points about Holodomor, because doing so would mean you either have to acknowledge the atrocities committed by the soviets, or go full nutjob conspiracy theorist on it to deny it happened or try and claim it wasn’t actually the soviets fault.

    And as for your points about standards of counties, you only have to look at Germany. Wasters Germany still feels the effects of soviet oppression to this day, it’s falls behind the west of thr country in almost every metric. Lookup the Brehznev doctrine that the soviets used to retroactively justify it’s invasion of Czechoslovakia and their policy of “Russofication” which to anyone with eyes is blatant cultural imperialism. There deportations of multiple ethnic groups to wastelands in the east of Russia in order to cleanse those areas and replace them with ethnic Russians while also getting a defacto slave work force.

    I fucking hate tankies so much.
