#UKHSAVirusWatch is back, a summary of our weekly winter surveillance report .🦠🧵
This week's data shows an increase in COVID-19 activity, which is circulating at medium levels. Flu activity has also increased, particularly in those aged 15 to 24, but remains at baseline levels.

“The Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) shows signs of containment, with no new confirmed or probable cases reported since our last update”
Some cautious good news from @who.int

Even if that were the case, the "gumming up" issue still stands – e.g. it would allow people to downsize when their kids move out without paying tax to do so

Yeah it's always felt high to me when you calculate the carbon footprint for your flight and then have to ~double it to account for radiative forcing (though I guess it's all radiative forcing). But presumably people have done the work..

The summary sounds about right to me, and is also the message I got from the article

Do you just mean that stopping contrails is not enough (true) or is there something that the article says that is incorrect?

do wonder if this could ultimately doom short-form video 🙏

Famously known for their detachable plunger

seems like we'll still have a job for a year or two #sora

this is real fiasco

Do you guys remember when they created a neuron-level model of a fruit fly’s brain and they made it sense something sweet and it stuck out its tongue

(I'm just a civilian, btw! :) )

Congrats!

Language _is_ powerful and even ELIZA had people in thrall as a result. But solving very hard Olympiad Maths problems goes beyond language IMO, as does helping Terence Tao with new proofs. At that point language is just the input and the output, but there's more going on inside.

There is no persistence once the session is discarded, agreed. What goes on during the matrix multiplications remains pretty mysterious.

IMO "thinking" is a better description for what it's doing than "language-rules-manipulation" (given some of the much higher order stuff it can do with such "thoughts" which IMO goes beyond language to concepts, etc.)

In "thinking mode" it generates a chain of "thoughts" [words] before answering "thinking through" the options so the response takes a few seconds to start but makes the right moves

(except in thinking mode)
