Daily Tech News 7 June 2023

Top Story

You've got cancer! Part One: Carbon Health, an organisation with over 100 clinics in the US, is using GPT-4 to generate patient summaries from doctors' notes. (The Register)

Though based on our experience with ChatGPT, it's just as likely to diagnose you with Dutch Elm Disease.

"But I'm not even Dutch!"
"You are now."
You've got cancer! Part Two: Patients using Grail's new blood test for cancer turned out to have chosen poorly when over 400 of them received letters telling them they were already dead. (CBS)

"Was that wrong?" said a company spokesman. "Should we not have done that?"

Tech News

The SEC is asking for an emergency order to freeze Binance US's financial assets - worldwide. (CNBC)

Yeah, that's going to create a mess if a judge approves it. Wouldn't be at all surprised if it took out one or two more of the smaller banks.
Sam Altman-Fried says that OpenAI isn't planning on an IPO any time soon because - I'm paraphrasing here - the entire company is an elaborate scam. (Reuters)
"We have a very strange structure. We have this cap to profit thing," he said.
OpenAI started off as a non-profit organisation but later created a hybrid "capped-profit" company, that allowed it to raise external funds with a promise that the original non-profit operation still benefits.

"Also, our product is total bullshit. Don't write that down."
Wouldn't dream of it, Sam.
Speaking of elaborate scams, Japan has earmarked $107 billion for hydrogen fuel projects. (AP)

Hydrogen is a terrible fuel. Miserable energy density and expensive and troublesome to store and transport.

Unless you turn it into natural gas. Natural gas works pretty well. But most hydrogen comes from natural gas, so that's worse than pointless.
Millions of hard drives are shredded every year instead of being recycled. (BBC)

Because hard drives are cheap and the class-action lawsuit when someone else ends up with all your customer data is expensive. It's simply not worth the risk for large corporations to recycle the drives.

6 Evening and morning to all! 'Tis a close 74 F. here, and as I mentioned in a dreary fashion late on the ONT, I don't feel much like working out. Maybe if I get off the couch, stretch, and do my pushups and situps, my enthusiasm will return.

It's worked in the past.

8 Work is . . . weird. My boss is out of the country until early July, so, plus. Negative: Because of some kind of political maneuvering, it's *possible* we may have to move from our current quarters to some other location to be named later. Just temporarily, the big guys say, until they can repaint and put in new carpet. But we all know this means we will never come back to that space and will be stuck in temporary quarters for a long time, possibly for good.

One of my co-workers, who is five years or so from retirement age, says he will retire rather than go through this. Which encourages me -- I'm ready and more than ready to do the same. I wanted to wait until fall, say Oct. or Nov. But the horrible disruption of moving our entire suite of offices -- I don't want to be part of it.

Which is why Dagny is slated for the snip on the 23rd. I want to get a second opinion as to whether she really will need to wear that cone device for an entire week, though.

The latest Challenger report showed just how frosty the labor market is right now. US-based employers axed 80,089 jobs in May – a 20 percent increase compared to the previous month and a 287 percent jump from the same month last year.

We'll have to pack, but the facilities guys will do the moving. Then, of course, would come the unpacking and having IT make sure the computers are working right if there's any problem once we crawl around, hook them up, and plug them in.

Isn't altering a male dog or cat a lot simpler? Certainly Stirling didn't need it, or any of my male cats.

In either case, once she comes back, Stirling will need to take a vacation at Miss Linda's. If he's here they will play, and I know the patient should restrict exercise for a while after the surgery.

The vet I've been using is fine. But there is a long-time "neighborhood" vet place not far from that office. I want to stop by there, have a look at their setup and see what I think, and ask about the cone business.

Now my pension is bigger and so is my SS. Plus I'm a bit over 29. It's time to bug out -- if not now, then Oct. or Nov.

Apply analysis of news articles and primary source documents to evaluate whether they think reparations should be paid to descendents of enslaved people in the U.S.
Investigate the historical and financial backgrounds of various proposals for reparations in the U.S. and the world.
Match the pattern of payments of reparations with patterns of function families ( such as linear, exponential, and absolute value).
Use patterns of function families to suggest steps the U.S. government can take to provide financial reparations
Report research and findings in a presentation.

176 The San Fran hotel story indicated there were 700,000 hotel nights coming up in 35 events planned for the city like that was a significant number. I'm guessing there are likely a minimum of 30,000 hotel rooms in the city, no math even required to understand why the REIT surrendered their collateral.

The South remained largely agricultural, its total industrial production totaling about half that of New York State.

The story is that an antebellum Southern plantation owner died and his funeral was held. His casket was made in Indiana, his shoes in Massachusetts, his suit in New York and his headstone was quarried in Vermont. The South provided the corpse and the hole in the ground.

It's the media, in Canada. They're probably selecting for that look. Heck, those are probably media employees in the shot. When it comes to media it's best to just assume it's all road apples.

Silly me thought it was a long-standing tradition to mask up to hide the identity of robbers and other thieves. The masked are just displaying their true selves and how dare any of us question their self-actualization.

211 So, I noticed a video talking about the death of the Princess of Lambelle. The picture for the video showed a guillotine, but I did not recognize the name (as I mentioned, I have somehow gotten into the algorithm as wanting to see execution videos and such.) So, I looked her up.

https://tinyurl.com/3uxfbkub

I quickly glossed down and saw she was a lady in waiting to Maria Antoinette. Ah, poor lady. A couple things struck me about the wiki entry. One, the lady had balls and moral courage. Two, they try to make it somehow better that her brutal murder by the mob did not involve any sexual mutilation or assault. How is that fucking better, you fucking commie shits?

I was also struck by the similarities in other 'revolutionary' movements that always descend into harsh, horrific, brutal death.

217 Recycling hard drives? The real and practical reasons are:
1. when they reach recycling age, those drives are obsolete as far as capacity is concerned. In 1998 I couldn't afford a 5 or 10 GB drive. 4 years later those were replaced by 30-50 GB drives and nobody wanted them. Anybody settle for a 250 MB drive (used) when 2 TB drives are cheap?
2. when they reach recycling they are probably close to their MTBF (mean time between failures) and likely not reliable.

219 Pixy -
The Japanese are striving to redo their nuclear industry and to use nuclear power to produce hydrogen. At high temps, hydrogen can be produced at about 90% efficiency. The same process can also introduce co2 and produce hydrocarbon fuel. It’s not as cheap as gasoline, but it’ll make Japan energy independent and that’s what they want. The estimate for the hydrocarbon fuel is ~$1.30/liter. Cheaper if it’s direct hydrogen.

222 > It's simply not worth the risk for large corporations to recycle the drives.

You'd think that, but I've worked for multiple companies that dealt with sensitive intellectual property, sometimes client IP and even legally regulated financial/medical information. None of them took even the slightest precautions to shred, degauss, or even wipe the drives.

At the end of the day, it's the low-paid IT drone who has to care, no matter what the corporation says it does.

223 Personally I always recycle parts from hard drives. They have very strong magnets inside. I love magnets. My duct work in the basement is covered with magnets. The aluminum housing goes into the metal scrap bin, and the bearings go into a jar for some future use. (not sure what use but they kind of nice for tiny spinning things.) The aluminum platters get some mistreatment with a ball peen hammer. I suppose someone with lots of money could extract some data from it, but what are they going to do with a partial copy of "Debby does the Dog Pound," missing the good parts?
