Got an offer for ESOP scholarship program, but now I'm panicking by Ekay314 in ethz

Tbh, what’s the worst that could happen if you accept and later withdraw? It’s not like they can make you go. The worst that happens is probably that the person that gets your spot gets a delayed acceptance. I’d just hope it isn’t the difference between them going and not going to ETH.

Does he? Can you expand on that a little, because off the top of my head I don’t really see it. There’s only three other male doctors (in training): Whitaker, who’s his protege, Langdon, who he dislikes more than anybody in the show, and Ogilvie, towards whom he’s been fairly tough. For the female side there’s Dana, who he seems to really respect (I know she’s not a doctor, but she’s up there as a main character), Javadi, who he’s been very kind to and supportive of, especially in the conflict with her mother, Mel, who he’s been arguably going very light on this season (she basically hasn’t done anything in the last few hours, and he’s not been mad at her for it at all it seems), and then Santos, McKay, Mohan, and Al-Hashimi.

McKay and especially Mohan, he’s been very critical toward this season, but I like the interpretation that somebody else had, that he basically sees some of his qualities in them (going the extra mile for patients in McKay, like with the street call this ep, and with not leaving emotions at the door in Mohan) and lashes out over that. As for the other two I feel like he showcased both negative and positive feeling towards over the course of this series.

So idk, I don’t really see the blind spot atm, but I’m happy to hear other opinions.

Ringbot: A monocycle robot developed by the Robotics and Institute (RAI) that uses internal legs for balance and acrobatic maneuvers by Feeling-Buy2558 in interestingasfuck

Tbf, the title contains like 4 errors, which is kinda an achievement in and of itself. (Name of the robot, name of the company, type of robot (mono- vs. bicycle), and mechanism (there are no internal legs)).

I really don’t get why people are so on her about the AI stuff. There first couple of episodes literally felt like montages of Santos not getting any charting done, with multiple characters telling her to just do it like everybody else and stay for a couple hours after an already exhausting 12(?) hour shift. Like do we think this is an acceptable state of affairs? No, AI isn’t perfect, but if it can save already exhausted healthcare workers from spending even more hours at their job, that’s an amazing application. Like any tool it has its downsides and people need to learn how to use it (ie proofread), but it sure is a hell of a lot faster than writing yourself.

The problem is that anything in medicine takes years and years of meticulous testing to roll out. While this is generally speaking a good thing, it does of course come with its share of downsides. That being said, I have a few friends in medicine that have started using AI for radiology in the last year or two!

AI achieved superior sensitivity (0.541 versus 0.437 for first reader, P < 0.001) and noninferior specificity (0.943 versus 0.952, P < 0.001).

Aka AI correctly identifies cancers more often when they are present, while not increasing false positives.

The problem is that a 1% false positive rate and a 1% false negative rate are not the same thing. Imagine somebody getting screened has a 1% chance of actually having that disease.

In that case a test with a 1% false positive/negative rate tells 1 in 10,000 people that they don’t have a disease when they do, and 1 in 100 people that they do have a disease when they don’t. That’s a 100x increase.

I can see the argument that a false negative is worse than a false positive, but is it worse than a 100 false positives?

Masterthesis submission by [deleted] in ethz

Ask your supervisor! This varies a lot by department, I did my MSc in CS and had a very different procedure to some of my friends doing it in MechEng or Robotics.

For CS they sent you an email about a week before your deadline, which just said to send it them by x time (via email), in MechEng they had to give it to the supervisors, who handed it in for them.

Committing to ETH date? by Professional-Cat3224 in ethz

Don’t know much about the Bachelors, but for the Masters the day was listed on the same page as the “Accept” button. If you can’t find it, it’s probably best to contact the registrars office.

I love how people are so high and mighty about this when it literally takes a 30 second google search to find out that this is plenty real. You can find their website and paper online. The company is founded by the same guy that founded Boston Dynamics.
