These tools (like Apple’s FaceID) work well for verification, but not identification. In other words, it is unlikely that some random person who grabs your phone will match. But if you were to centralize the lookup (identification), you’d match thousands of people. Hence OK for verification, not ID.

My best guess is that for every 1,500 Waymos you have on the street for a year, you save one additional human life.

Well I think the Waymo discourse has dried up. Time to start up some Zoox discourse.

We are excited to announce EchoPrime is published in Nature. EchoPrime is the first echocardiography AI model capable of evaluating a full transthoracic echocardiogram study, identify the most relevant videos, and produce a comprehensive interpretation!

I need San Francisco to have its own satellites.
UPDATE: Since launching our own methane-tracking satellite earlier this year, California has helped close 10 large methane leaks in our state.
That pollution reduction is roughly the same as taking 18,000 gas-powered cars off the road for an entire year.

California is moving forward with a groundbreaking satellite project to track and reduce methane emissions.
With this innovative technology, we’ll be able to move faster to cut methane emissions — protecting Californians and tackling harmful pollution.

3/10 – On average across traits, we estimate that ~23% of our estimated WGS-based heritability is due to rare variants (0.01%<frequency<1%). We also show that coding and non-coding genetic variants account for 21% and 79% of rare-variant WGS-based heritability, respectively.

📊 Research Summary from @jama.com: Adults with #AFib who drank at least one cup of caffeinated coffee daily after successful cardioversion had a lower risk of recurrence than those who abstained from coffee and caffeine.
