vinci

If you are interested in the history of ideas, it makes a big difference if a quote is by the real Da Vinci or some 20th century novelist.

We rely on computers in healthcare all the time in real time, from your vitals in the ER to the Da Vinci machine.

Attributing it to a young da Vinci just seems silly though.

Human controlled robot arms: It's an ad for da Vinci surgery.

Da Vinci himself was basically raised in an artist's workshop (by Andrea del Verrocchio) and worked alongside dozens of other students on their master's projects.

Finally, I totally agree with muddylemon that attributing to Da Vinci is silly.

Not implying anything special, no da Vinci code here.

Leonardo da Vinci - An independent self learner who was accomplished in art and engineering.

Typically the people you need for robotic cases have more specialized knowledge and additional training (sold by da Vinci I imagine), not to mention the technical people da Vinci needs to hire for maintenance which wasn't going to be supplied by the hospital anyway.

I like that he is almost deferential to him; a huge portion of his readers are Da Vinci Code folks looking for more and I think people are often petty about these sorts of things.

For something like, say, an automated surgery robot or da Vinci Surgical System, or the Therac here, or an implantable insulin pump, or whatever, it absolutely makes sense to be super vigorous in testing.

> One example, widely misattributed to Leonardo da Vinci: Whoever believes that in the first place is also mistaken that such concepts/wording as "sophistication" actually existed at the time.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” — Leonardo da Vinci Leonardo didn't say that—it was William Gaddis in his massive novel about art forgery called The Recognitions, sometimes thought of as the first postmodern novel.

Various attempts to authenticate it have been made, and so far none have proven it is not a da Vinci.

I found it a really interesting idea to turn work of da Vinci's in to something completely different...
