    I think the biggest factor here is them having good enough infrastructure to trust their internet well enough to bet someone’s life on it. Like, one lag spike and we get to see if lungs have rollback netcode.

    Very cool stuff. Even in amerikkka it is very difficult to get specialists in certain regions. Having this tech will help expand that patient doctor ratio for specialized sugeries.

    That’s amazing that a patient can be infected by a tumor located 5,000 km away from their body!

    Oh yeah? Well a drone operator in the US gave someone lung cancer from 5000 miles away as a side effect of bombing a wedding. Your move tankies.

    When it says “negligible latency” what does this actually translate to?

    30ms I can agree with, even up to 80ms I could see not really affecting surgery. If we’re talking 300ms or higher that would take incredible patience to deal with because you will notice it on every single action taken.

      as a lower bound speed of light over 5000km is just under 17ms, so 34ms for a round trip. as complete speculation, I’m guessing they got it down to around 50-60ms

      There are tons of legitimate use cases in healthcare, industry, and so on. Huawei noted back in 2023 how most of AI usage is actually being applied in industrial sector in China as opposed to stuff like chat bots. https://asiatimes.com/2023/05/huawei-ai-targets-industry-upgrades-not-chatbots/

          Even the text generation models have uses. For programmers, there are local models (i.e. don’t require huge computational power) that can provide code completion in a similar style that static analysis tools used to give, just much more general and not restricted to a particular language.

          Other models can provide you quick answers for basic system operation questions that search engines have gotten too shitty to query for. Just way faster than having to wade through irrelevant results littered with ads to maybe find something tangentially relevant to your question.
