As I begin my D.Eng research I'm starting with the foundations and working through the Alberta Plan steps one-by-one starting with meta-learning and online normalization.

Google also recently estimated that the median Gemini LLM app query produces a surprisingly low 0.03 grams of CO2 emissions), and uses less energy than watching 9 seconds of television.

" For example, many enterprise on-prem compute facilities use whatever power is available on the grid, which might include a mix of older, dirtier energy sources. Hyperscalers use far more renewable energy."

The goal: Healthcare applications of RL in alignment with the Alberta Plan.

Extremely excited to start this journey!

The result? Direct-to-provider production orders that bypass sovereign gatekeeping.

Unless you own the keys (BYOK) or use purely Canadian-owned infra, you aren't protected.

Great deep dive by @citizenlab.ca on this erosion: citizenlab.ca/research/can...

That law established that jurisdiction follows the corporation, not the dirt. If your provider is US-owned, the US government has legal reach into those "Canadian" servers, bypassing the transparent MLAT process.

I'm really curious to know whether clinicians would see this as a welcome addition to the patient experience or a hinderance.

From the article: "Today, health information is often scattered across portals, apps, wearables, PDFs, and medical notes—so it's hard to see the full picture, and people are left to navigate a complex healthcare system on their own. "

It appears as if they've put appropriate controls in to protect the sensitivity of the patient data being sent to this isolated environment. Note that we are not using this at LHSC and it has not been assessed for use in Canadian healthcare to my knowledge. Just posting as a discussion point.
