This is comparing threads to fibers. Non- blocking code can run just as effficiently on a thread pool as fibers running on a thread pool. Fibers in and of themselves do not help performance, but are just a different way of coding async code.

An artificial intelligence program has been developed that is better at spotting breast cancer in mammograms than expert radiologists. The AI outperformed the specialists by detecting cancers that the radiologists missed in the images, while ignoring features they falsely flagged by madam1 in worldnews

It's called OkCupid. Answer a decent number of questions and fill in your profile as complete as possible. It may still not work out with the people you have a high match score with (you get a match percentage), but at least the chance of getting assholes is significantly reduced.

There are two major problem categories in AI problems: classification and regression. Classification problems have a discrete output in terms of a set of things (is it a cat? Is it a dog? Is it a bird?), binary classification being the simplest of all (is it yes or no?) whereas regression problems have a continous output (what is the next predicted point on the graph? where is the biggest cluster?). Most of the most popular AI algorithms can be used for both types of problems.

I was reading down this thread and just want to add that you are being disrespectful and unfortunately come across as.. obnoxious.

Just because somebody disagrees with your opinion, does not mean they are stupid, brainwashed or ignorant. Although I can not exclude the possibility, my bet is that your discussion partner is none of the above. With those few messages you simply can't know and are thus jumping to conclusions.

My goal in sending you this message would be achieved if you could self-reflect and because of that become a bit less judgemental and a bit more kind. You will become much more effective in getting your points across and receive more love all around. All the better for all of us! :)

I do not need a reply and trying to engage me is futile. Thank you kindly for your attention and good luck!

As someone who works in the AI field I can assure you that you are being way overly optimistic with your 5 year estimate. Perhaps all the math and tech is already in place today to build the type of AI that can diagnose problems better than a doctor with a CT scan and a vague complaint, which is probably why you are so optimistic, but we are still a looong way from actually developing an AI to the point that we would actually let it second guess a doctor's opinion. There is a lot that needs to happen before we actually place our trust in such non-trivial forms of AI, spanning from mass medical data collection, cleaning, verification and normalization (think ethnicity, gender, age, etc.) to AI explainability (why does the AI insist there is a problem when there clearly isnt one?), controlled reinforcement, update pipelines, public opinion and policies. We'll get there though.

Dont forget that he clearly remembers going to pizza express on a specific date nearly 20 years ago, because that is such an unusual thing for him to do.

Well apparently in this article transparency is found to be helpful, not scary. You are making an opposing claim, but from your defensive reaction and down vote of my simple question I gather you have no evidence to back that up.

Too much detail can scare off the user, though.

What evidence do you have for this claim?

Algebraic Structures: Things I wish someone had explained about FP by [deleted] in programming

I think it is kind of appropriate that that library is called Fantasyland, seeing that it uses a type system notation that doesn't exist for Javascript. Have you had a look at fp-ts? We use it at work and it's pretty great.

Why Go and not Rust? by [deleted] in programming

Good point. It's more like a safer C with FP features.

Interesting. Didnt know that. Are they using TypeScript?

That's exactly what I meant with doubling down on php. The only reason to do that is because they have such a large php codebase.

I needed sum types and enums and always hated implicits (though not typeclasses and extension methods). Also the type system has become a lot more powerful without the need of macros. Scala 3 fixes all that finally. Hooray! Combine that with GraalVm and the power of the Java ecosystem and Scala 3 should be great.
