+ During a dark and wet night a few weeks ago, I used Pilot Assist (lane/speed/steering control) and it genuinely saw the lane lines better than I was able to during major unexpected downpours. I was in control the whole time, but it was a great help along the way and made the drive a lot more comfortable.
- Some of these systems work together rather poorly. For instance, the Pilot Assist system seems to identify white lane lines better than yellow ones, and on US highways (where the left-most edge is often yellow) it will drift left. However, the lane keeping system seems to see the yellow line just fine, so it will vibrate the steering wheel to warn that I'm getting too close, while Pilot Assist continues to insist on moving left. The solution is to get out of the left lane.
But I'm very optimistic and supportive about Volvo's trajectory in this area, to all of your points above.
PathAI is looking for front- and back-end engineers and engineering managers to help detect cancer faster and more accurately while paving the way toward personalized medicine.
We're working with a modern stack using Python/Django/Flask/DRF, alongside a Vue-powered front-end. Services are containerized, and we do our best to have a great engineering environment alongside our regulatory and compliance efforts. We're a technology company working within healthcare, not a healthcare company trying to leverage technology.
We're making some major decisions around the direction of the platform, so we're especially excited to bring on tech leads, but early- and mid-career developers who have great software engineering chops can find a great home here as well.
Work alongside a diverse set of expert technologists, computational biologists, and computer vision scientists – if you're intellectually curious, it's an amazing environment to be in. We're well-funded with strong revenue, growth, and – most importantly – impact.

PathAI is looking for an Director of Engineering to help lead our work to detect cancer faster and more accurately while paving the way toward personalized medicine. We're also looking for individual contributors to our application engineering, platform engineering, and design engineering (front-end development) teams as well.

This role in particular will be helping build and lead our application engineering team, which works at the python/postgres layer to provide services for software-based medical devices, customers via the front-end, and internal teams. The team is five people today, and expected to grow through the short-to-mid term.

Presumably Amazon funds paid to delivery services are also used to pay for gas, which therefore indirectly pays for the roads.

Back when I IRCd regularly (and perhaps this is still the case today), certain servers would get a reputation for splitting more than others, and I think this network (and/or its ircd) decided to mask it without breaking the general format.
1. Lack of traceability/auditability. We're in healthcare, and have a regulatory burden that requires versioning of basically everything. GitLab does this for code and wikis (thanks to git itself) but not for issues, merge requests, comments, etc. I've ended up building a service that just ingests the webhooks for these to store them away, which feels ridiculous. Since the webhooks for comments doesn't get triggered on update, I even have a TRIGGER shimmed into GitLab's postgres DB. Ech.
2. There's no concept of a bot user, so every integration we want to do is against a single account/identity, in part because...
3. The pricing of Ultimate feels ridiculous, and that's the only way to get something as fundamental as epics. $1000+ a year for every employee?
[edit] $1000/mo -> $1000/yr. (per month would have been even more way cray)
Right now, in this space, Figma is up against Sketch and InVision, and they each bring something pretty great to the table. Super-constructive competition, and we're all benefitting.
The lack of labeled data is definitely a challenge, as you call out. But a sizable chunk of what we do is power a platform and network of pathologists to get this data within hours for training purposes. We think there will always be a very real need for human pathologists, but that the bread-and-butter work in pathology can be better handled by well-trained and thoroughly-validated algorithms.
And yeah, the non-technical issues are just as important as the technical ones:
* There's very limited use of digital imagery in clinical pathology at all. Fortunately, that's not the case in research pathology, and the success we've had in that field has been moving clinical labs toward an investment in digital pathology.
* Reimbursement (in the US) will be an issue. There are only a few options for billing payers for pathology reads, and they aren't necessarily in lock-step with the potential future of the industry.
* Like I mentioned, this opens up a class of analysis that just isn't feasible for humans to perform. It's up to us to show the value of this type of analysis.
* The regulatory environment is a real thing. We aren't hiding from this, and are creating processes that allow us to build and iterate software like we'd like to, while still faithfully meeting our regulatory burden.
So far, we've found our approach to be viable, and we've had some really strong early results with our customers (and solid revenue!). So I'm pretty optimistic, for sure.
It's a bit of a dirty secret in this space that pathologists have a pretty high error rate on a lot of these tasks — it's just tough work for human eyes to do literally hundreds of times every day. Applying computer vision techniques can not only improve accuracy and reproducibility over human assessment, but you can do types of analysis in seconds-to-minutes that would literally take years for a human. We're just scratching the surface.
There are lots of ML challenges here, but just as many general tech/engineering/design challenges. So if you're interested in working on bringing work like this to the masses, we'd love to talk at PathAI.
I can speak from experience that using your middle name creates it's own set of super annoying issues.

Though even in those cases, you might be looking to show that your tool agrees with physicians at least as often as physicians agree with each other. Malpractice is usually about failing to offer the standard of care, and if you can show a reasonable level of concurrence with the standard of care in research and trials, you may be able to move forward and reach those higher levels of accuracy.

But Shkreli has brought on himself another order of magnitude of personal criticism because of his statements and actions beyond the price fixing. In my experience from the days after his sentencing, people who know nothing about tech or healthcare know his name and react to it with scorn, while quite few of them know the name of his funds or companies.
