Why would you jump from an ultrasound to chemotherapy? It's not meant to be a definitive diagnosis, it's just an early screening process...

I'm not so worried about the data being useful, I'm worried about the machine actually working.

I mean, with that much data, you may be able to understand under what timeframe a tumor is actually of concern. What's so bad about having some false positives?

I think getting more medical data could prevent a lot of health problems, and collecting it in a relaxed and frequent environment could be interesting. This announcement is honestly just... a bit weird. They're talking about wanting to do a billion scans a month, but they haven't even mentioned what the ultrasound data can tell you about your health, nor have they showed a physical demo of the product. I think the latter is the most important part, does it actually work?

Importantly, the researchers told it to do that specific task.

I tried to become a contributor to Canvas (it's open source), but I couldn't even get a development environment setup because of their storage space requirements.

> It is recommended that you have at least 150GB of available hard drive space, 8GB of RAM, and a quad-core CPU to use this script.

As far as I can tell, this is not for running a production environment with assets. This is just the development environment.

Is it worse? Wouldn't the red people end up with more like-minded red people?

> It's naive to think that 100% of people will press the red button.

Those who press the blue button are trying to save those who press the blue button. If they weren't trying to save each other, they wouldn't have to.

I can't seem to tell exactly what they built. They call it a runtime, but they're using NodeJS?

Did they implement a transpiler in Rust?

They also seem to be calling Rust from JS, but not through wasm...

They seem to be doing something with Rust and http, but they're also just using "Pingora"...

Additionally, their homepage is about 20 fps while scrolling on my phone (pixel 4a, brave)

I would honestly love for someone to explain to me wtf is going on.
