Freeport, one of the largest US plants exporting liquefied natural gas, exploded on Wednesday.

Freeport represents a critical piece of infrastructure in Europe's divestment from Russian oil. Yet this story is almost no where in the mainsteam news, so let's dig in.

In 1986 the American Physical Society booked 4000 hotel rooms in the MGM Grand Hotel and cost the casinos so much money that the APS was asked to never come back by the entire city of Las Vegas. The physicists didn't discover some genius gambling strategy, they just didn't play.

Hello to Michael Shpigelmacher! Thrilled to have our Culver City neighbor @BionautL be part of today’s @TTIVanguard sessions. After he tells the exciting Bionaut story, I just might invite him to join my upcoming panel on our growing #LongLA innovation ecosystem. 😉

PanEpidemics 1982–2022:

- Anticipate, recognize, act
- Fear is normal, use to heighten creativity
- Fight the stigma
- What’s next is already here, we just haven’t recognized it yet

Wonderful virtual @TTIVanguard talk from @Georgetown infectious disease guru Daniel Lucey!

In another @globalaperture life, I spent some time in the world of aerospace mission assurance. Seeing someone like @llcrabbie using her @SpaceX experience to build @Epsilon3inc gives me a lot of faith in the future of safe spacecraft operations. #LongLA

We’ve gone from @kleinrock @uclaconnection1 to @vgcerf and interstellar internet to @SubseaCloud, which is creating subsea data centers for the next generation of connectivity. Maxie Reynolds brings together the data innovation story at @TTIVanguard in a great way.

The @TTIVanguard “Follow the Research” meeting is kicking off now, but I can’t resist sharing some @UCLA tour photos from yesterday, including @kleinrock showing off the birthplace of the internet and @ZarEskinCompMed highlighting the amazing #SwabSeq test operation. #LongLA

I love, LOVE, this company's approach to carbon removal. Lots of challenges still for them to overcome, but the general approach is super elegant and encouraging. #runningtide #carbonremoval #energytwitter

Ian Goodfellow, Apple’s director of machine learning, is leaving the company due to its return to work policy. In a note to staff, he said “I believe strongly that more flexibility would have been the best policy for my team.” He was likely the company’s most cited ML expert.

Meta has released a huge new AI language model called OPT-175B and made it available to a broad array of researchers. It also released a technical report with some truly extraordinary findings about just how dangerous this machine can be. 🧵
