I'm sorry but as an MLE this is not a remotely useful article, and does not belong on the front page.

It's comparing a fine-tuned CNN to general purpose models on a tiny dataset.

It's good to be reminded that "frontier models" aren't particularly good at most tasks. They happen to be good at programming, since there's a lot of training data available, and the task has parallels with report writing and story telling. For skin cancer? Probably very little. Also, images of skin cancer probably don't translate that well to a Large Language Model's internal representation.

There is no such thing as “belong to the front page”. Flag if you think it doesn’t have its place. Otherwise, it’s up to the crowd to decide what they want upvoted. HN front page reflects upvoter interest, nothing else
