“When the AI provided an incorrect result, researchers found inexperienced and moderately experienced radiologists dropped their cancer-detecting accuracy from around 80% to about 22%. Very experienced radiologists’ accuracy dropped from nearly 80% to 45%.”

"Almost everything has been done by someone else before. Almost nothing you want to do is truly novel. And language models are exceptionally good at giving you solutions to things they've seen before."

I collect examples of this kind of thing, and this is by far the most exhaustive list of practical LLM uses I've seen.

[@phire](https://phire.place/@phire) [@mhoye](https://mastodon.social/@mhoye) a friend said once that enterprise architects exist so programmers don't have to talk to business analysts, and BAs exist so that EAs don't have to talk to customers/users

It has forever changed my perception of the development process

Scoop: I obtained the contract Samsung requires independent shops to sign to buy phone repair parts from them.

It requires:

- "Daily" dumps of customer data
- The "immediate destruction" of any phones a shop comes across that has third-party parts

About 1 month ago I decided that I had slipped into some bad typing habits. So today marks to the 200th lesson of me rebuilding my typing skills.

Got Thunderbolt Migration Assistant working!

Had to do half of this: <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253658404>

- connect Thunderbolt cable to both

On source Mac:
- create Thunderbolt Bridge interface
- assign it a 10.0.0.x IP
- enable Internet Sharing from Wi-Fi to the Thunderbolt Bridge
- run Migration Assistant

On destination Mac, never set up Wi-Fi. It’ll activate over that Thunderbolt shared-internet connection and never ask for a Wi-Fi network.

(This used to be as easy as “connect them with a cable”.)
