  2. Re:Evaluating percent of correct diagnoses on AI Can Diagnose Prostate Cancer As Well As a Pathologist (sciencebusiness.net) · · Score: 1

    You are confusing oncologist with pathologist. Pathologists study existing samples for existing conditions. I.e. signs of tumours, which if found are analysed to find out if tumour is benign or malignant.

    Oncologist is the one that "gazes into the future" to figure out the optimal treatment.

    One is the doctor who's job is solely to analyse the sample for existing conditions. Other is the doctor that formulates the diagnosis based on, among other things, pathologist's report and then formulate the treatment plan. In most cases, pathologists never even meet the patient. It's not their job to handle patients. They handle samples.

    P.S. Of course it's done all the time. I was answering a very specific question that made absurd claim that it's hard to figure what out specific pathologist's success rate is. Just like you, they appeared to have confused oncologist with pathologist. Asking for a second opinion is routine in medicine. Especially pathologist/radiologist etc specialist who's job is to merely look for specific markers in the least clear samples.

    Negative. Expensive even after installed. You still need to maintain, and you still need to deal with intermittent supply as it's unfit for base load.

    Hydro once installed is incredibly cheap. Very low maintenance, and so stable that it can even be used as spinning reserve in addition to base load.

    Accuracy of diagnosis. In case of a pathologist, this isn't about curing people. It's about being correct in one's diagnosis of potentially having specific kinds of cancer. You're confusing oncologist, the doctor who actually works on cancer treatment with pathologist, the people who's only job is to analyse the sample in front of him for pathological elements that shouldn't be there in healthy sample.

    You take one sample, split it in two, get a doctor you want to test analyse one sample, get other analysed by trusted expert/panel of experts. Do that across notable amount of samples. You now have success rate for this specific pathologist.

    That's not going to happen. It's not even remotely cost effective. These people go for places with hydro because hydro is ridiculously cheap once installed.

    Solar is expensive. In comparison to hydro right near the dam, extremely expensive.

    They haven't actually proven that, because CIA certainly doesn't let its crew participate, nor does GRU.

    Chinese were basically that up and coming country that didn't yet control it's top talent, and allowed it to become targets for foreign agencies through competitions like this. Now they passed that development stage and keep their top NatSec talent out of sight, just like everyone else is.

    You once again are suggesting that "rest of the world, every single case where it works regardless of location" is not evidence.

    Instead you suggest that libertarian hypotheses that you're spouting are somehow correct, even though in real world reduction in rent controls in relation to overheated real estate market is known to have severely negative consequences.

    To suggest that "building more houses that are rented to the worse off people" does not control rent by reducing the demand on housing is patently absurd. The primary reason why rent goes up is because there's more demand than supply. By reducing demand and increasing supply, you affect the very basis of pricing.

    As for the rest of it, you can always spin the numbers in the other direction, as the article does. Reality is, rent controls and subsidised housing exist not only outside SF, they even exist outside US. They even exist outside North American continent. And when applied correctly, they work.
