You may see some double posting of #MapsintheWild and of my #agoodread stuff over the next couple of days. Iโ€™m testing out a new service before switching from dlvrit

Every now and then Iโ€™ll read something so good that I feel like a hack in comparison. Currently, that book is Demiurge: The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Tales of Michael Shea. I hope one day to write even ten percent as well. These are cosmic horror, but they are so damned FUN while also being incredibly empathetic for the outsiders of San Francisco. Survival sex workers, elderly and unhoused people, folks with addictions. These are the heroes who battle elder gods and deep ones. If you like cosmic horror thatโ€™s a joy to read, do yourself a favour and check out Michael Sheaโ€™s writing. https://www.amazon.ca/Demiurge-Complete-Cthulhu-Mythos-Michael/dp/1727595750?dplnkId=bea63c18-59bf-4d34-ae7d-a5808ab94251&nodl=1 #Bookstodon #CosmicHorror #lovecraftian #Cthulhu #Horror #AGoodRead

Beware explanations from AI in health care

Current enthusiasm for explainability in health care is likely overstated: Its benefits are not what they appear, and its drawbacks are worth highlighting. For health AI/ML-based medical devices at least, it may be preferable not to treat explainability as a hard and fast requirement but to focus on their safety and effectiveness.
