By Gemini, one could create a high-quality survey paper on any subject at any time. This is fascinating news for researchers, virtually in any domain. @pacslab

Mor Harchol-Balter (CMU) has a very nice new book: Introduction to Probability for Computing. Free PDF on the website: https://t.co/m0aTya3whp.

As opposed to some other (excellent) books in this space, this book focuses on reaching an *undergrad* audience. Check it out!

There is at least one industry research lab where the leadership believes that (super)human-level AI:
- is attainable
- is a scientific research question, not just a question of more compute and more data.
- is not "just around the corner". It will take a while.
- is not an existential risk.
- requires contributions from the entire research community, because no one has a monopoly on good ideas.
- hence requires open source platforms and open research, because no one has a monopoly on good ideas.
- is going to change human condition for the better.

A very good interview with @kchonyc. I pretty much agree with the viewpoints he expressed in the interview.

@ylecun @geoffreyhinton Intelligence is not just all about analytics. For control, you need more of social intelligence.

One of the best feelings, when shipping frozen samples, is getting them to the freezer. For these Alaska permafrost samples we chose to drive them across the border (Fairbanks-Whitehorse) and air cargo direct to Edmonton. Everything is still frozen. #permafrost #PACSLab
