We fine-tuned DKFZ's nnFoundation on our lymph-node CT: about a quarter fewer false positives than our from-scratch UNet at similar recall, on 27 scans. Early results, no held-out test yet.

All who praise a model like opus 5.5 with memes and then later complain, remind me of children on a roller coaster ride.. it's very obvious the AI companies are playing everyone by tweaking same models, temporarily boosting them pre release and then nerfing them b4 next release.

@cognition Not trusting a benchmark that places Fable above astra or even Sol

LungIMPACT (Nature Medicine): AI worklist prioritisation of 93,000 GP chest X-rays in five NHS trusts. Reports came back a median 13 hours sooner. Time to lung cancer diagnosis was 44 v 46 days (P=0.84). The authors advise against it here.

@headius cars are also a big failure. I don't know anyone who can ride a donkey

@MSiekmoeller That's life just like machines took over hand wood working...ppl still do it for fun

[Usman Bashir @drubashir]

@elie2222 That's actually a very common perception

[Usman Bashir @drubashir]

@rohit3a Even Fable not at par with Sol 5.6 let alone Astra 6.. it's defo learnt better English ill give it that but still useless in complex coding tasks afaik

@GohilHardy Didn't have an idea UNTIL i started vibe coding and learnt a i went.. you can't vibe code effectively without

@AtlasOmeg @Mr_Salio One day ppl will lean about hypothesis testing :P i say there's mounting evidence that they nerfed it. And tui might say it's only the bad reports reaching us.. then we debate endlessly ..

@farman4x 4. Is everyone trolling?

[Usman Bashir @drubashir]

@x86machine @thesupermanmx Exactly what claude fact check told me. Second day in a row I've seen a liar as a newbie to x.. true to the nature of the owner. Coming from LinkedIn, x is like a busy smelly fishmarket,

[Usman Bashir @drubashir]

@thesupermanmx Is everyone on x lying to grow followers? Your post failed on claude fact check badly. Muting all future posts as click bait noise

Geoff Hinton's 2016 call — radiologists obsolete within five years — aged like milk; in 2026 demand is the strongest ever. But the real threat was never AI itself. It's other specialists using AI. My full argument: https://t.co/YEvzHktbFx #Radiology #AIinHealthcare

@RutendoTereka @Rainmaker1973 Yup sometimes ppl just peak early

@andrew_lilico @historyinmemes I've watched it several times but somehow never past Hector's death. Love the fight choreography

[Usman Bashir @drubashir]

@BobThibadeau @Rainmaker1973 Can you spot some example lies?
