  • One issue I could see is using it not as a second opinion, but the only opinion. That doesn’t mean this shouldn’t be pursued, but the incentives toward laziness and cost-cutting are obvious.

    EDIT: One another potential issue is the AI detection being more accurate with certain groups (i.e. White Europeans), which could result in underdiagnosis in minority groups if the training data set doesn’t include sufficient data for those groups. I’m not sure if that’s likely with breast cancer detection, however.







  • Traditional server-based self-hosting will have lower average uptime, will be easier to attack, and will have a much higher chance of disappearing out of nowhere (bus factor event, or for any other reason).

    It’s not a single point of failure at least but if your particular project is targeted then yeah. I was thinking more about using it for private repos, where it isn’t public at all but that’s a separate case.




  • I’m not arguing in the slightest that FLAC shows an audible difference in most cases for most tracks. However, it just makes sense as an archival format given it’s lossless which means you can transcode to any other format without generational loss.

    This means if there is a massive breakthrough in lossy compression in the future, I can use it for mobile purposes. If you store as lossy, you’re stuck with whatever losses have been incurred, forever.
