@johnmcgh33 @NoContextBrits As a maxillofacial surgeon, I frequently see (once every couple of weeks ) people with life threatening odontogenic infections surrounding the deep neck and airway, who will definitely die from airway compromise without surgery.

@CloudyFriday1 @danwaynay @jspujji Agreed. There is a certain level of cognitive irritation involved with constantly monitoring how your flight is boarding. By getting on the plane, you only have to listen to/decipher one boarding announcement.

Everyone is interesting if you talk with them about the thing where most of their attention is going.

@rbryanbell @PatelMDDDS @ProvHealth @providence This looks like a lot of fun. Nothing better than exchanging ideas, strategies, and explanations with people who share your passion.

Wish that people would worry as much about the variables they put in the model as they worry about which type of “statistical” or “machine learning” model they will choose

#GraphNeuralNetworks are way too cool to be left unexplored!

In a nutshell, GNNs are an exciting merger between graph theory (math) & #DeepLearning (coding).

Here's my detailed resource stack of best GNN theory explainers, videos & coding tutorials I used for my own learning.

One of the main takeaways that stuck with me from “Talent” (@tylercowen @danielgross) is how society overweights intelligence as a predictor of success. Smart people often make this mistake.

I’ll bet on optimism + resilience + bias to action over intelligence in most domains.

I'm not surprised that Adobe is acquiring Figma for $20B, nor that Wall Street doesn't understand it and $ADBE stock is down more than $20B today. It's a smart move for Adobe because it's nearly impossible to make legacy software applications multi-user collaborative. Thread: 🧵

Two days ago the NYT posted an investigation into politicians trading stocks

They found that 81 Democrats & 101 Republicans filed up to 3,700 trades and $100M in possible volume

Many had 100% winners, with some perfectly timed

Here’s examples of just how good they were

And we finalized!

Happy merge all. This is a big moment for the Ethereum ecosystem. Everyone who helped make the merge happen should feel very proud today.

@katgleason In surgery— A perfectly executed but wrong operation is just an injury

@ProfFeynman Every sensory experience improves the mental model. Knowing what a person has done ==> knowing what they are (probably) good at doing.
