The extra air is to keep the chips from getting crushed and breaking in transport, and other lies we tell ourselves to not feel the crushing weight of being ripped off at every turn.

The article doesn't spell out the broader context for laymen like me. Can anyone clarify some points. Are these images taken from biopsies of tissues that are already suspected of being cancerous? Is this work translatable to preventative screening in a way that I'm unfamiliar with, or is it limited to processing biopsies?

For automated tools like this, what sort of protocols are established to prevent doctors from being biased by the tool output? Does the person running the test provide their findings before they see the output of software detection?

I don't like this system for two reasons.

The first being that bookshelves should have a restraint system that attaches to the walls. You could probably improvise something, but the video lacks that element.

The second is that the alternating brick pattern is weak for an open faced box. That puts a significant portion of the weight of higher courses on the middle of the span of lower courses. You can see some of the lower levels bowing signicantly. Since the back is rigid, but the front can flex, that will increase the tendency to tilt into the room and makes the tipping hazard worse. Add in an old floor that is concave and you have a significant hazard.

I like the concept, but this needs some changes before it is safe.

Edit: I'll suggest potential improvements rather than just naysaying. You could make two different width boxes. A full width and something like .8 width. You would stack the boxes alternating full width with partial width. The full width box would need 4 alignment pins and 4 slots. The boxes would stack in line vertically, but due to the alternating widths would still lock adjacent columns together. The important thing is that the vertical walls would be close together rather than landing in the middle of the spans.

Then I would add a cap board that can be bolted into the top boxes and would be used to attach a L bracket to a wall stud. Yes, this decreases portability, but not crushing children is more important than convenience.

Have you ever seen examples of how the features that ai picks out to identify objects isn't really the same as what we pick out? So you can generate images that look unrecognizeable to people but have clearly identifiable features to ai. It would be interesting to see someone play around with that concept for interesting ways to fool tesla's ai. Like could you make a banner that looks like a barricade to people, but the cars think looks like open road?

This isn't a great example for this concept, but it is a great video. https://youtu.be/FMRi6pNAoag?t=5m58s

Right, those were the failures that really matter, and Rober included the looney tunes wall to get people sharing and talking about it. A scene painted on wall is a contrived edge case, but pedestrians/obstacles in weather involving precipitation is common.

Is private security not synonymous with mercenary?

The astronauts in orbit already have their ride home. This is a shift change not a rescue.

I only used it for desktop applications. That's good to know.

Screen sharing in signal seems to work reasonably well.
