pgreenwood commented on Trump Returns to Gasoline as Fuel of Choice for Cars   nytimes.com/2025/12/03/cl... · Posted by u/thelastgallon

Unironically giving the people what they want. EVs are still well within the realm of enthusiasts and rich people.

The infrastructure isn't there yet, and most blue collar families cannot afford an EV, nor the home electrical modifications needed. One-car households cannot abide the inflexibility. Oh, and forget about renters, they were never part of the equation. The EV mandate was one of the biggest ivory tower initiatives ever enacted by the government and it was objectively a failure.

No one said EVs are bad. But they are one small part of a larger picture that includes ICE and hybrid for many years to come. Purists will be upset, but they will never be satisfied with any reasonable compromise.

I'm not from the US, but here in Australia, the 2026 BYD atto EV is priced at 24k AUD. That's 16k USD. Also the infrastructure is there as most homes are connected to the electricity grid

> And then there's little bugs everywhere that just grind away at you on a daily basis:

When I create a new folder or file in a directory in explorer it hangs for a bit and doesn’t show up unless I click refresh. Ditto if I save a file to a directory that is open in explorer.

Thinking about trying to get a copy of Win 10 IoT LTSC instead at this point.

The Win 10 IoT LTSC iso is on archive.org (from microsoft)
pgreenwood commented on Demand for human radiologists is at an all-time high   worksinprogress.news/p/wh... · Posted by u/bensouthwood

I'm an interventional radiologist with a master's in computer science. People outside radiology don't get why AI hasn't taken over.

Can AI read diagnostic images better than a radiologist? Almost certainly the answer is (or will be) yes.

Will radiologists be replaced? Almost certainly the answer is no.

Why not? Medical risk. Unless the law changes, a radiologist will have to sign off on each imaging report. So say you have an AI that reads images primarily and writes pristine reports. The bottleneck will still be the time it takes for the radiologist to look at the images and validate the automated report. Today, radiologist read very quickly, with a private practice rads averaging maybe 60-100 studies per day (XRs, ultrasounds, MRIs, CTs, nuclear medicine studies, mammograms, etc). This is near the limit of what a human being can reasonably do. Yes, there will be slight gains at not having to dictate anything, but still having to validate everything takes nearly as much time.

Now, I'm sure there's a cavalier radiologist out htere who would just click "sign, sign, sign..." but you know there's a malpractice attorney just waiting for that lawsuit.

Add to that that the demand for imaging is not fixed. Even if somehow imaging became a lot cheaper to do with AI, then likely we would just get more imaging done instead of having fewer radiologists.

In case anyone wants to have a go at doing this for Mercury, Gemini, or Apollo; all of the RAWs are publicly available for free:

All the of the photographs from these missions are public domain and always have been.

Did they rescan the negatives for this? He mentions having access to RAW files at one point, but it's not clear.

All the photographs from Mercury, Gemini and Apollo are public domain. They've been previously re-scanned with modern equipment and all of the RAWs are publicly available for free:

pgreenwood commented on Why you can't color calibrate deep space photos   maurycyz.com/misc/cc/... · Posted by u/LorenDB

The first one has been adjusted to bring out the contrast and saturation while the one you link is an original scan. They brought a number of different swatches like that and took a picture of a calibration array at the end to account for the effects of space exposure on the film.

The one I posted is from an original scan.

Is there a document that explains that color chart?

This version shows different shades of colors: https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/photo.pl?mission=AS17&...

I think we are looking at different scans. See: https://tothemoon.im-ldi.com/about
