"Digital humor or kind of a gateway between the doctor and the patient who can really help with this interaction. Which can be really valuable when it's needed, actually. So this is to know this is how it started. And the more we take, we also learned that as humans, actually, we sometimes really struggle sharing some specific information, even with our doctors, women of our healthcare professionals. So it appears that the conversational interface might be also interesting one to really help patients help people to disclose more and to then disclosure or to learn more about their disease, for example. Yeah, there's been some there's been some studies done in the past, which is found that people in some cases prefer to speak to a sort of digital assistant for certain things that there was a really good one about the did you ever did you ever hear about sergeant star? Nope. The U.S. so the U.S. Military introduced a bot called sergeant star. And it was there to try and encourage people to basically enroll to be in the army. The U.S. Army. And most of the time, what they do is they have offices in towns and you've got big sort of like strapping soldiers, really intimidated, it's sort of like what on guys and girls who have kind of been through it all. And they're there and they're really intimidating and trying to get people to sign up. They're not purposely being intimidated, but they can be quite intimidating. And what happened what they found is that when they launched this chatbot, people were asking the chatbot things that they wouldn't dream of asking the recruitment officers. They were asking things like, you know, if I get put in the army, I'm not going to be given a gun. Well, I need to kill people. Like, well, I have to shower with other dudes and stuff like that. And they were asking questions that were just, they didn't realize that those were the needs of the people that we were speaking to because it was intimidating to speak to a super fit, ultra experienced soldier, and it's a lot easier to speak to basically a robot by China. Did you learn similar things in this digital human project? In terms of people's comfort levels. We did actually national the digital human, but maybe on the note, I can tell you about Ellie, if you know edit, it's actually very similar because it was for the veterans from the I think Vietnam War, I believe. So and not only actually Afghanistan as well. So I think it was created for the PTSD so far from the post traumatic symptom disorder for the for the veterans.

"We are really investing a lot in research and development and of course with that it came to us that we really also invest more from the technology perspective and what the technology can bring to patients. Myself and what I am doing, it's a part of the global informatics. So it's also a worldwide organization. So we are supporting other organizations from the informatics perspective and already bringing new technologies on board as well. And as a part of this big organization, we had also a smaller so called tech experimentation team when we really wanted to experiment with the new technologies with this really fast and quick idea how you can do this. And it really allows us to bring lots of innovative ideas and really see how we can actually continue on that. Nice. So where did the journey start then with Roche where did this kind of idea for maybe a conversational interface could be a good idea here where did that begin? It's difficult to say actually you are if you think about a big organization but actually in one of our discussion it appears okay. Actually it started with digital human. So we saw some interesting presentation thinking, okay, what could be the applicability for that? And maybe also setting a bit of the context around the healthcare. So there are lots of information available, but like simplifying and bringing them. We are really aging as a population, right? So it means that more people will need help from the healthcare professional a worldwide. Additionally, we know and actually COVID pandemic revealed it so much that there are really shortfalls for healthcare workers. And the WHO world health organization also predicts that it will be even more. So if you think from only that perspective, then you see that actually conversational interfaces are a good place for automations, right? So you can really put some interfaces which can really help and can really facilitate somehow the interaction between the doctor and nurse and patients actually. And actually, it has happened during COVID. So COVID is like the digital ally for the digital transformation also in the healthcare. In lots of area actually chatbots, the transactional chatbots started to somehow help doing disconnection and facilitate some stuff. So this is like from the helicopter view I would say perspective. So the needs. But also what we know because we, of course, we have lots of projects, lots of interactions with patients. We know that there is also a need to have reliable and relevant information available for patient 24 24/7. Meaning that if this work was workload, which is already in a healthcare, the patients are not having sometimes irrelevant support because the doctors are really busy and it's really difficult. And also the visits are very, very short one. So if you think about it and we actually, if we were thinking about it, it was immediately for us, okay, how to support it, how to create

"Of good examples of that in this space. And I think there's the kind of rudimentary scientific technology or very high end innovative technology, Chinese customers buy that there's drug labs from Pfizer and Roche in China. There is not been a Chinese superstar to emerge a local company to emerge in this space. The one that maybe comes to mind is in the world of gene sequencing, where they actually do have a national champion who competes with the big gene sequencing company Illumina, who's based out of California here and has been kind of the 900 pound gorilla in gene sequencing for the last decade But for the most part, the U.S. and Europe has been a couple steps ahead in terms of China in terms of their innovation, particularly in this space. And there's only maybe a few examples where China's caught up. They need to import western technology. Exactly. They do. And then within that market, the Chinese market a lot of these companies have made in China for China. So they're almost scaled down versions of their higher technology products that maybe Chinese customers who are a little more price sensitive or don't necessarily need as high sophistication by a more scaled down version of some of this equipment. Can you walk us through some of the really interesting things that are going to be coming out of these life science guys over the next decade? I know it's farther out looking, but this is where a lot of the innovation comes from. So we've seen a couple of big trends over the last couple of years and I don't think these would be surprised to anybody COVID and investment in vaccines and infrastructure and new types of technology to treat diseases, we have the mRNA vaccines. That's relatively new. We've seen a lot of investment in gene editing and viral vectors, these newer technologies that are hopefully going to be coming into the clinic and can treat diseases. And so the life science technology companies who make all the equipment to make these discoveries and then manufacture the drugs that come out of it will be kind of the beneficiaries of a lot of this investment. So gene therapy like I have an illness that's specifically to me and then I'm able to get a drug tailored to me. Is that what that in essence means? Yep. Exactly. Oh, it feels totally game changing. I know it doesn't. It's not just our mRNA technology that we benefited so much with the vaccine for the pandemic. Now we're finding other uses for cancers, for example, if we put those cancer vaccines that Moderna and Pfizer are working on. What are some of the companies that are in the strongest position right now in terms of their product pipeline in the medium term? Yeah, so there's two or three that come to mind. The two biggest are Thermo Fisher and Danaher and they've been the industry consolidators for the last decade. You know, they kind of sit in the upper Echelon in terms of breadth of products, breadth of services, global reach, they're always buying other companies to kind of add to their toolkit, they are probably the first that come to mind a smaller version of that is a company called Perkin Elmer, which is more of like a mid cap or it's a large cap, but not quite as large. Thermo and Danaher and the hundreds of billions. Perkin Elmer is very similar. It's a smaller version and they've been actually acquiring some interesting higher growth assets and also selling some of their businesses that are more, let's call them industrial focused and slower growing to really focus on these niche high growth areas of healthcare.

"Justin Kyle Roche didn't realize that he was being videotaped. He didn't find out until months later when this crypto leak site put it out there? Right. So he goes to London in late January and ten months later, they are released by this website named crypto leaks and with the caveat was still unclear who is behind the website crypto weeks, but it posts in late August and it includes this long post with about 25 different videos spliced in between text laying out Kyle Roche's time in London to two different settings, ones in a conference room and Kristen agar Hansen's office in London and other at this bustling restaurant in London. And the videos lay out what I previously said, Kyle rose talking about himself as a lawyer, talking about his relationship with this company named Ava labs and also talking about how he uses the court system to help able labs. And no one knows at this point even who recorded those? That is where we get into really messy territory after the videos were published. Kyle Roche post an online statement a few days later on the website medium, claiming that Kristen agar Hansen, this Norwegian entrepreneur who runs a private equity firm was behind it. He also claims that Chris naga Hansen was working for a crypto firm named affinity, which is actually a defendant in an action that Roche's firm filed. Now he didn't give any evidence to support that claim and his law firm has also made that claim, but it's still not clear who was behind them. Chris agahan has said to me that a business consultant who had first reached out to him about potential opportunities in the blockchain space. And he set up the meeting with Kyle Roche and people from Ava labs. He claims that this man was behind the recordings and has claimed that he has not been able to get in touch with him since and that he also thinks that the name that this business consultant provided may be an alias. So it gets into really, really messy territory from there. Has it been alleged or proven in any way that this was an orchestrated takedown of Roche? I think it's clear that we can say this was an orchestra to take down a gross. What gets less clear is Hulu's behind it. I think you can tell that Kyle Roche was in London and was being secretly recorded with the goal of publishing those recordings to make him look bad. It was sort of a spectacular downfall, tell us what happened. In a nutshell, the recordings come out in late August, less than two months later, Roche is out of his law firm, his law firm has changed its name to a race any link to him. He has lost his role in a number of different crypto class actions. The first crypto lawsuit his firm filed in 2019 was this market manipulation suit against the crypto exchange bitfinex and its affiliate tether, which is behind the tether stablecoin. They had been litigating for about three years up until October and a New York judge actually kicked the firm off the case in response to these videos and requests from not just the defendants, but also Roche's co counsel and were a couple other law firms working with them on the case. And they requested that the firm be kicked off the case to avoid in their words a sideshow. Just a few days later, the firm cut links to Kyle Roche in what appears to be an attempt to move on from this saga and to avoid more dominoes falling. Is the field of cryptocurrency law? Particularly cutthroat compared to other areas of law? You know, that's a really good question. And I think as this new industry has emerged, it has a lot of brash figures and it has a lot of people moving fast and breaking things and it's bound to lead to some fights. And I think from the angle that I'm looking into, what I can tell you is that there is been a huge surge in litigation involving the cryptocurrency space. Some would say that it's very much akin to any industry that gets more mature, it's going to have to deal with more litigation, but if you just look at the number of securities class actions that have been filed against cryptocurrency companies in the last two years, it is nothing compared to what it was like maybe 5 years ago. So I think it's really led to a lot of hostilities between different folks in different parts of the industry. Roche, as you said, he was ousted from his own firm. He's down, but he's not out, is he? He's not out. He has established his own solo practice and has some individual matters that he's remaining to work on according to the dockets. It seems that he's not completely gone away. He is certainly off maybe a lot of the more high profile cases that he was working on. But for that matter, that loss that we mentioned at the outset against Craig Wright, the self proclaimed Bitcoin inventor. That is on appeal now and he, along with his former firm, are vying to remain counsel in that case, right council has pushed for their disqualification. So he certainly not going away and it's perhaps time maybe the best thing on his side. Thanks so much, Justin. It's a great story. That's Bloomberg law reporter, Justin wise.

Sean Feucht Drops In After His Times Square 'Let Us Worship' Event
"Ladies and gentlemen Sean Foyt, Sean, I can't believe you are in the studio. In the flesh. Every time I've interviewed you on this program, you've been in a car on a hilltop in California. Right? Yeah. And you are in New York City. Welcome to New York, my friend. Thank you. I was just Alvin and I were just telling my audience our version of what happened last night. And it was so beautiful and a friend of mine, my wilkerson said, oh, and when the sun went down while we're worshiping, that was the beginning of Roche Shaun at the beginning of the Jewish new year. And I said, that was not planned. That was amazing. To be worshiping Jesus in the middle of Times Square. Publicly, beautifully. So last night we saw the film, the film super spread is fantastic. The only part I didn't like is my part. I'm in it folks. I apologize, you know what I mean? I was just very bullish. I was bloated and confused. But they put it in any way, because but Sean, just tell us, what happened yesterday? Man, it was wild. I mean, like you mentioned, you know, being in Times Square, the place where the ball drops, the place where the eyes of the world look at during new years. And we were there actually during the real new years. Is that not amazing? Yeah, it's so cool. And what was even more wild, I mean, there's so many different threads to weave, but when we first came in 2020 and we were on the West Coast and we were doing lettuce worship and of course, you know, people were, there was a narrative from the media that it was like this anti lockdown anti government protest. It wasn't that at all. It was just like, hey, we're The Church of Jesus Christ. We need to rise up. This is a dark time people are fearful. People are filled with, you know, this chaos is confusion, drug and alcohol use of skyrocketing, suicides, this guy rocketing, we need to worship. And so then when I had it in my heart, like we got to go to New York City. This is a city I love. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and when we showed up in Washington square park under the big arch, there was a policeman there, a chief of police that met me and he said, what are you guys doing here? And I said, well, you know, we're here to worship. And at that time, protesters had been raging through that park. And it was just a place of chaos and violence. And he said, well, we could use the church here.

You're you're basically buying to a larger degree. you're buying the real assets of that corporation. What those real assets are likely to be worth in the future and so that's why things like stocks they much more reflect the the real asset world than that just buying pure. Play like a commodity. Because you're getting an embedded inflation protection and that's you know kind of going back to my example of the house.

"You don't earn interest in an environment like this on on a deposit because there is no risk so the risk is fully christ in its fully accounted for and so to me you know to to make a long winded answer really short. I do not think it's possible to to find these interest rate differentials and really benefit from them without making future inflation prediction. And that's the ultimately what this comes down to a country by country basis. You have to look at the interest rates as a measure of risk in some degree in. You know looking at like turkey for instance. Would i feel comfortable buying ten year or thirty year. Turkish bond just because it has a higher interest rate will absolutely not because the risk of hyperinflation in that sort of situation is just through the roof and so the the interest rate reflects a certain degree of risk in that in that. And i think that you know from this is a really interesting. Theoretical concept from a country perspective because the interest rate does to a large degree reflect the credit quality of that specific country. And i think that you're a lot of what you're seeing in. The developed world where interest rates are very low is really a reflection that inflation to a large degree is a reflection that demand for that money is so high that the perceived future credit risk is perceived as extremely extremely low and you know from a country perspective the interest rate and the inflation rate to a large degree which they tend to correlate to a large degree over long periods of time it reflects the the credit quality of that specific country. And you know so. We think of sovereign government says being risk free but the reality is that a ten percent yielding sovereign bond is really for all practical purposes. It's like a junk bond. It's a really junkie bond compared to something like a ten year treasury which in today's environment even though it's yielding one point three percent the reason the that's like that is it's not just the fed to a large degree..

"Otherwise would and i suspect that that some of these underlying factors are not going to be so transitory. They're not. We're not gonna see kind of going back to what i was talking about earlier. I do not think we're going to see anything. Like the nineteen seventy s. This isn't really a bad environment. That's ripe for like stagflation. Something like that. Which was i mean. The seventies were really more so oil crisis than anything else. But i don't think we're in an environment where we're likely to see very high sustained to save ten percent inflation or something like that just because i think the secular headwinds are. They're so big. There's so much different this time around where you don't have. You have not necessarily a japanese type. A demographic issue in the development. But it's it's much more similar to japan than it is say like a baby boom situation or something like that where the population is growing pretty significantly in meaningfully but in addition you have all these other factors like the technological factor the globalization factor is. One of the biggest. I mean you could argue that. The world has never had so much accessible. Cheap labor in its existence and globalization puts a huge secular downward trend on inflation. And so a lot of these big macro trends. I think they don't necessarily put a A ceiling on inflation. But they make it very very difficult. For especially for policymakers to create a lot of inflation. And i think that the thing that is most interesting about the last eighteen months that you had this big huge policy response. I mean the. It wasn't really the fed so much it was mostly the us treasury. I would argue. That really caused a lot of the inflation because the government the treasury spent some treasury spent six and a half trillion dollars in the last twelve eighteen months. It's just the numbers are colossal. And so it's interesting because mainly going forward. Those numbers are not gonna continue. The we're likely to run trillion dollar deficits going forward. But we're not likely to run six and a half trillion dollars of spending year after year after year. And so you don't have the sustained fiscal tailwind that caused a lot of the inflation that we're experiencing right now and i think there's a lot of these things taper off. You are likely to see prices that look. The fed would call transitory. But that will end up. Probably not being as transitory as the fed. I think expects and so if you you end up with even inflation that's in the safe three and a half percent range by year end and let's say that that stains in the twenty twenty two. You could have a situation where the fed is getting pretty concerned about that sort of feedback loop where they start to worry about the snowball effect in essence of the of the price increases. Where you have something. That's a little more sustained. And so far from their target. I mean three and a half percent is is a pretty significant shift away from their target range of two percent that you could have easily rate increases. I think in twenty twenty two that starts to reflect the feds concerns about continued inflation. Let's take a quick break and hear from today sponsor..

"The big concern with any sort of inflation. Spiral is that it. It becomes sort of self reinforcing almost a snowball effect inside of it. And so you see this. In periods of very very high inflation where the way to think of this is basically that it's very similar to Like a decline in the stock market. Where people's emotions basically become the dominant driving factor in what is causing the price declines. And so you see this really panicky environments in an inflation is essentially a panicky price decline in the basically your purchasing power.

"But the occasional reminder that we are spiritual beings having a human experience is not so bad. Yeah i couldn't agree more and become sort of fascinated over the last few years on what are the various ways of remembering. What are the ways that we can start to weave these things more into the moments of our lives. Wanna ask another question for resume here. I plucked a few lines here. And there from some of your work but one of them is that you say i understand the only way i can truly know god is by relying on the only thing i can truly know myself. Maybe we could reflect a minute on how knowing ourselves leads us to knowing god. Yeah i was kind of stealing a little bit from the great medieval arab philosopher of no roche who said he who knows himself knows his lord and there is a spiritual tradition behind this in sufi islamic to was a sufi. I belong to this sufi branch of islam and sufia slum we are essentially panatheist our definition of god does very orthodox by the way all muslims believe that god is in and of himself existence that god is indivisible that god whatever got is is in form and substance oneness miss god is divine unity and so therefore cannot be separated cannot be divided. It's just that sufis ticket one step. Further like we accept the consequence of that fundamental orthodox belief that exists both in judaism and in the slum. which is that well if god is indivisible than nothing can exist. That isn't god. Then that means everything is god otherwise. You're dividing god if you're saying god is pure existence than if anything else exists. It exists only insofar as it shares in the existence of the only thing that exists. And so this goes back to kind of a little bit of what i was preaching earlier right about. Stop looking out there and start looking in here. Sufis believe that god is not a four separate indistinct from creation that creator and creation or one end the same and so the journey to find god is not an external journey..

A Brief History of Neuroscience
"So neuroscience. The study of the nervous system has had an interesting history of being both extremely old and extremely new Ancient greeks and egyptians went back and forth whether the brain or the heart was the center of intelligence and hippocrates argued that the brain was the center though this wouldn't gain traction until the roman physician galen proposed it It took until an understanding of electricity. In the nineteenth century before we could really understand the brain the experiments of luigi gala vanni and the electrical activity of the body pave the way for research in the nervous system for awhile. Neuroscience research was divided into different fields such as physiology anatomy zulu psychiatry etc David roche helped integrate these fields creating the neuroscience research program at mit in nineteen sixty two. james mcgowan established the first department of neuroscience at university of california irvine in nineteen sixty four and later major neuroscience organizations were created including the international brain research organization. Or i bro. because it's a bunch of bros. Working on brains at that could be like your pneumonic for it That was established in nineteen sixty one and the society for neuroscience was established in nineteen sixty which is known for its annual meeting.

"If you just even include the stuff that we went through and then he had other stuff going on included in that so you think now okay take a breath. Get healthy mourn. The loss of your family member get whoever you need into. The country have a full preseason. Let's go forward now. And the other thing. He got injured in preseason last year so he never was really got the speed and then they shut it down so i wanna give him a mulligan. United asked me for mulligans. I want to give him a mulligan for last year. But if he's not if it's the same as last year let's this. This whole conversation was was useless if he is playoff team and maybe maybe even higher expectations than that. I think that empathy though is a good is a good place to be when you when you're when you're a fan when you're in an analyst when you're looking at sort of the holistic view of the player it's important to know that stuff like you said Situation all that stuff matters if you're if you're miserable at home you're not gonna play well and the only problem for dc night. Is that when they invest when they break their own transfer fee for player in in an important offensive position and he doesn't perform the team is going to sputter up. they don't have. That's a huge huge miss. It's like reminds me of the guy auto for their first ep. That didn't work. That was a clanger but the problem is that that set team back for multiple here hundred. Yup team can't manage dean can't handle that sort of thing so i remember that i said some questions. I want to run through these real quick time. Events to go ahead at dribble past wants your latest thoughts on the this is not a quick question. Whoops dermal pass wants your latest thoughts on the dc united academy and how it fits in the dmv youth soccer scene. That is not a quick react question. Yeah it's not it's not I'll try to be as as quick as brief as i possibly can. I've i've covered this in my podcast. Pitch pass with charles bom we also i also talked about it with andrew dykstra a former keeper. Who now coaches or a club in prince william. County look dc. United has a. This is not gonna come as a shock to people who just follow the i team dc united has a branding problem and a lot of it for for for as far as the youth is concerned is the is the pay to play which they've done away with but i'm not gonna pat you on the back for your pressing announcement saying that. You've made it free for everybody when literally. You are alexa the last team to do it. I'm not going to give you credit for..

"Sorry down so to your point about the game plan. That goes out the window. The problem last year with united was they would start off when you're like what what's gotten into them. Fifteen minutes in. We're now packing it in hanging on for dear life home more way. It was like well. The game plan obviously was good. But whatever for whatever reason you couldn't sustain it and that was and whether they scored in that first team fifteen minutes or not if they did it was hopefully they can hang on for the lead but if they didn't it was like hopefully you hang onto a mill nil and then it was if they didn't score and the other team scored all right. We'll see you next time. It goes away. The team looked amazing. That fifteen twenty minute press and was that there were like tax to the tactics. Were you need to press hell-for-leather for the first twenty minutes trap them in their half. Get a turnover maybe score a goal and then inevitably the plan was never ending. A more defensive didn't get our goal. Yeah now we're just gonna play back. Obviously i don't think that team had the legs to do that for ninety minutes. If they did they probably would not be playing for dc united. They'd be playing elsewhere if they could have that lung capacity but clearly that when when that part of the game was happening we look dangerous but the rest of the game it was. It was exactly like you say it was all right. How can we hold onto this lead. Or how can we make sure that nobody scores any goals and that it is that is negative soccer to watch and i don't think we're going to get that i think based on every single thing he said i wanna lose games games five to four one. One zero wins or not. What i'm about okay. Let's do it if we're going to we're going to do any outcomes gonna happen. Let's do that. Let's let's have more goals..

"It seems like in the most in the in the big season preview piece By gough it seems like the directive has been tamped down expectations for this year. We are entering the season with a not a lot of money. Like many other with many other franchises even on a normal year. That's that's sort of. That's generally been the you know we don't have a lot spend but now we super don't have a lot of money to spend because we've had no fans for year Needed but they seem to have spent a ton of money but go ahead the they might have saved. They might have saved from the previous year when they had when they're when they're dp was phenomenal and so they may have been putting some money away in the piggy bank. But i think that they've the directive from the fan from the ownership has been tamp down expectations for this year. This year is about trying to get value out of the roster. We have and i think it's undeniable that if you look at twenty twenty there the entire almost the entire team underperformed to their to their historical their career record so if you can just get get at career average years out of most of the players that run ross last year. You're you're in. The last spot of the playoffs probably added and afford that scores goals. Which as of last year. We did not have i think. I think that they have made it. Hopefully you know it made it somewhat clear like this is this is. This is the maintenance year and the next year is spent. Let's go them that we're going to give him what he wants and let him enactors vision and i think you're right. The fan base has to hold the team to that so particularly now that the team is going to have fans in the stadium very few of them but some fans in the stadium opening day. And i assume much more you know. Twenty percent fifteen percent one hundred percent year goes.

"Talk about him as legacy. But it's exciting. Now we're gonna get somebody different. It's going to be awesome. And then the first wave of candidates came out and we were like really like we're just going to like we're turning the page from ben to chris armas like why don't we just keep ben if we're keep our legacy guy over somebody else's legacy guy so like they did a great job of lowering everybody's excitement for that so then when you got the second way he started hearing about pineda and i was like oh now that could be interesting and all that one away then it turned into a week and a half coach for twenty twenty one and then like no offence to chad. But like it really felt to me like chad's going to keep the interim title for twenty twenty one because we were getting close to the point where. I didn't know that we're be time to hire somebody. So when lozada's name came up same deal never heard of this guy who is he was feels like maybe they might be cheap out again but he is coming from europe and you'd probably have to make him a solid offer to get them out of europe especially when he's coaching in the first division of a of a major league so i was cautiously optimistic. Then i started following him on his socials. He's a great great instagram. Or that's a really only follow him on. he's a great instagram. And i started getting exciting. And they they as you said they struck on a gold mine by making him up for practices and obviously available to everybody which was also fantastic so they made them. I it was i saw and i was like happy to talk. Rfk refugees getting new coach. Before i feel like maybe you got him like your stuff landed before. Pablo and golf stuff like stuff.

"I never been a fan since three to never waxed poetic about rfk stadium. Sure i know it's place and i appreciated its place but what what really solidified. My phantom for dc united was the united new england ribs semifinal eastern conference semifinal match which for a number of years was considered the greatest match in. Mls history so. It was a fantastic match full of a lot of goals. Pk saves it had everything but the biggest thing had had was the supporters lost their minds through the whole match. And look nats fans can come out and go. Will we got excited during the ploughs. Yes but not in the third inning when it was zero zero and there was four hits between the two teams not at that point as get close to the end of the game. We get crazy so washington football game football team same thing these people stood up and they sang and they cheered and they screamed for the from from before i sat down till as i was walking out and that is what made me a fan. So for as the move into audi field happened and you mentioned all the hunt stuff for them to go. Don't care when honestly for fifteen years you were hanging your hat on best fans and mls. Here's a picture by season tickets. Nothing about on the field. Just fireworks and torches in the stands is our picture because we don't have any identifiable players by season tickets for the crowd and the fans where you then to go. They don't matter to us and we're not being to consult them for anything and we don't. We don't need them. We want them to kind of phase. Those out that was. That's when i decided i'm not. I'm not going to be an apologist anymore. I'm going to be somebody who is going because at that point i was no longer in with the beer.

US Health Officials Warn of Risk of False Positives in Widely Used COVID Test
"U. S. Health officials are warning health professionals about the risk of false positives.

The agency warned that the problems with the tests processing tubes could result in false diagnosis. And people who are not actually infected. Rocha's testing system is widely used to screen large batches of pay patient samples in hospitals and laboratories. The FDA recommends health workers test samples multiple times to assure accuracy.
Data Skeptic
Automatic Summarization
"My name is martin luther before and i'm a vc student at the university from saddam. Main research is focused on natural language processing and information retrieval. And i'm especially interested in how we can learn from humans and human cognition to improve our ai models before that. I did my master's degree in artificial intelligence at my bachelor's degree in mystic so liked to take the knowledge i also have from the back roads and the light microbes research everything. I've done related to natural language processing carries with it a sort of computer science bias towards it. I don't have your background in linguistics. What advantages does that give you in your approaches to natural language processing. It's quite interesting. We've seen the developments. From the early days. I would say wehrley Quite prominence when we wanted to model language greedy looks into specific linguistic structures. And at least things then we went into an era. Our people throw that away basically no linguistics of war Data only we only want to learn patterns from data and always see a bit of shift back again so people try to incorporate knowledge from linguistics into models with the idea that they come maybe learn everything from data per se or if we have named with knowledge that might gives an advantage if we decide like these are models that could work well for this task for example is a pretty exciting thing to see that we go back in the knowledge of marie slogan definitely there have been a couple of people who have taken a pretty provocative ver- extreme point of view on this and is ibm. Has this famous quote. Yes i believe Frederick djelic said every time i fire a linguist the performance of the speech recognizer goes up so i imagine that was a deliberately provocative statement to make in your experience. How have these communities actually overlapped in the community or p. community specifically we want to model language and that's basically what you also want to do linguistics. You want to model language and you want to understand language. You may not want to light produce than which so much linguists rather observe whereas from nlp perspective you might as well to produce but also understand that right. So i think as linguist. You have certain intuitions about language with everyone might have. That seem very obvious to you as linguists that other people might not find so obvious such as negation can be a hard province so for me seems very obvious because this is a trend See gwyn stakes but like from computer science perspective. Never thought about this. You might wonder like why does my mom before well these types of includes or questions or whatever you might not realize that it was about negation or something. That is yet wasn't really that long ago when people still seriously considered that we could solve negation with just a couple of handcrafted rules Exactly like there's more to that right. I think in order to understand what would work well or licensing doesn't work well yet. List acknowledged really comes in handy. Will your paper the caught. My attention is titled what makes a good summary reconsidering the focus of automatic. Summer ization now automatic. Summer is kind of interesting that by hearing it. Even if you've never heard of this fuel before. You kind of intuitively know what it's all about yet. There's still some open questions practically speaking you know. What does it mean to do some reservation. Could you perhaps give us a survey or overview of the various techniques is a great question. Maybe not so clear which is one of the reasons why we started to write this paper. But that said i can give an overview first of what is often perceived as the way to do it in the community. so i'm talking about texts. Summarize -ation right because Of video summer ization for example with for decoration. You often do. thank you. Take any input documents. Texts article for example news article or a bunch of news articles media articles. And you want to kind of get the gist out of this input and right leg few sentence summary about it. That is the majority of work that is done now. How is this done with anything. We've seen a little progress. They're so it started off with a unsupervised Graph based model such as text. Frank relax wrangler. Basically people make a graph of the input documents and then kind of see. What are the most important sentences Extract those now with the rise of neuro models. We see that there is much To sequence approaches. That people used first night with our anez. We see transformers. And bird and bird dyke auto spoken up in a community. And then you also asked about the evaluation. So how often do it is served few forms of evaluation so you have flake the firm and often people use a roche with basically check for lexical. So have your label. Summary like the one you know. It should be any kind of check out. Many words are in common with summary. I produced there. How many acronyms to make it more precise and then there's also some new metrics such as like bird scores in one that doesn't measure lexical similarity with router semantics clarity right because in this lexical similarity approach. If you have a word is kind of the same word as in the summary. That was the label. But it's not the same word out and you don't want that so you run our to measure semantic similarity so that's another type of scoring functions people use and then another way is with human evaluation though you would ask. People questions like which of these summaries is more fluent or which one more informative or which one has the best coverage these questions

National Amelia Earhart Day with Wade Roush
"Hey Paul it's weighed rouch. So July twenty fourth is National Amelia Earhart Day and I guess what I'm curious about is how Amelia herself would feel about the way she's remember today I mean it seems like she's famous mostly for disappearing into thin air and only secondarily for being the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic which all seems Kinda backward to me. On the other hand, she's seen increasingly as a feminist icon which seems like might please her. So I'm just curious how historians and biographers think earhart would have regarded her own fame. Thanks. Wade given that I've never been confused for an historian. I'm one of those people that thinks about Erhard the way you've described above. So it's nice to be given a little nudge of history and hopefully I can return the favor. For my first recommendation, I, found a podcast called. Erhard which hopes to shed some more light on Earhart by interviewing guests. In this episode, they interview Abigail Harrison who is commonly known as astronaut. Abby. As part of the interview, Abby Talks about how a millionaire heart is an inspiration. They also talk about the marsh. And stem as well as our work as an aspiring actress not. Today's guest is weighed Roche host of the soonest podcast which helps us understand were technology come from and how we decide to start or stop using it. It's that understanding that allows us to be more intentional about the kind of future were building together. Soon Ish covers a lot of ground from bridges to virtual reality to the voting process. One episode that struck me though was way talking about quitting facebook, which is something I grapple with constantly On the episodes page description we'd outlines multiple years were facebook failed us and he finally had enough. Here in twenty twenty facebook continues to fail enlarge ways and I wish some of the tech support groups that I am a member of would find another service. So I could get off facebook myself.

Coronavirus: Fact vs Fiction
The Latest on Testing
"When you were a kid. Did you ever make one of those pinhole cameras? Were you cut a little hole into a piece of cardboard and then look through it on some ways. That's kind of how we're looking at the corona virus nowadays through a tiny little window part of the reason. We haven't been able to get a bigger picture because this is a new corona virus and we're learning as we go along. We have also had inadequate testing across the nation so the inability to know the true extent of this outbreak becomes a major barrier in terms of getting the country back to work. We need clear vision and so far we haven't had that. I'm Dr Sanjay Gupta. Chief medical correspondent and this is corona virus fact versus fiction. There are currently only two types of corona virus tests available in the United States. Because I'm a healthcare worker. Who still takes care of patients in the hospital? I've had both of them. I'm GonNa give you a little poke over Uruguay. Don't okay. We're all done it. Okay early on there. Were some significant delays in testing and there was also the release of a flawed test. Which really put us far behind since then there have been a lot of unauthorized on validated tests. Which have flooded the market the most common and most accurate test we have is called a PR test. A polymerase chain reaction tests. Now that's the one that detects whether or not someone is currently infected with Kovic nineteen. It involves a saliva test in some cases or more commonly a nasal swab. Cnn's Brooke Baldwin referred to it as a brain Taylor so that gets sent off to a lab where the genetic material is extracted. And because there's such a small amount of genetic material it is then amplified. That's the polymerase chain reaction. If all goes well results usually come back within a few hours but it can take a few days if you have to send it to a lab somewhere then. There are the antibody tests. Those are the ones that can determine whether or not someone has had cove in nineteen in the past and might have some immunity to it now. Those involved collecting a small blood sample either through a needle in the vein or three blood spot sample. But here's the problem. Antibody tests have not been consistently accurate. There are a lot of bad tests out there and it's still unclear how much those antibodies might protect you from the virus in the future. When you're testing for the virus the biggest problem would be having a false negative. Why because you would think that you don't have the virus and then you might go back out into the community into a nursing home into a hospital and potentially infect people with the antibody test which you really hoping to avoid is a false positive. Then someone might feel that they have the antibodies thus feel that they are protected. Go out into the community to a hospital to a nursing home and spread the virus so with the diagnostic virus test. You really have to reduce false negatives with the antibody test you really have to reduce false positives. The promise of the immunology test to find out we have. The antibodies is huge. That's Kevin Delay on senior fellow at the University of Southern California's Schwarzenegger Institute for State in Global Policy. The institute supports test sites across Los Angeles. This can influence policymakers at the local state and federal level. That can actually inform us. When it comes to social distancing if I'm immune in scientifically I've been proven to be immune then I can re enter the workforce and I could play a bigger role and make sure we're safe for a company called Roche announced that it received emergency use authorization. Eu A for an antibody test it claims is more accurate than most Roe says. It has already started shipping. Its new test to leading labs around the world. Here's Rosillo Severin Schwan. It's really special. Because it is so accurate. It's it's almost perfect. Accuracy and allows us is to really reliably test whether a person has been infected by the corner virus or opt irrespective of whether you had symptoms or not now. There's another kind of tasks they could be useful here. It's called an antigen test again. The test for the virus is the PR or diagnostic tests. The test for the antibody is called a serology test. And now the antigen tests look for a protein on the surface of the virus. You may have already had one of these if you've ever had a test for strep throat or the flu. Here's the problem. A reliable antigen test for the corona virus isn't yet available in the United States. But the hope is that will soon have something that works kind of like an ad home pregnancy test. Were a test strip. Would change color detail if you might have the virus. Frederick Nolte is a pathology professor and the head of Corona virus testing at the Medical University of South Carolina. Antigen detection has been part of the diagnostic landscape for a number of years and it has a number of appeals. It can be done relatively quickly. it's inexpensive. It can be deployed in a number of clinical settings outside of the laboratory near the patients but the chief concern with it has been the sensitivity and they low sensitivity means a high false negative and with high false negatives people feel that they don't have the virus and they go back out in the community and potentially continue the spread so how available. Rpcr antibody tests to the general public is probably the question. I get more than any other as of Monday. Johns Hopkins University's Kovic Tracking Project was reporting over seven. Million people in the United States have been tested and they mean the diagnostic or PCR tests in this case but again the initial rollout of those tests was fraught with problems and that caused major delays in the country's early response to the pandemic. Those problems are being addressed now but there are still supply chain shortages the PR requires certain transport mediums reagents and yes nasal swabs and those things have been in short supply but just last week. The mayor of Los Angeles announced free diagnostic testing for all of the county's residents because we know the ten million residents county need that it's critical for US opening up in the future. That's Mayor Eric. Garcetti on CNN and we wanted to be the first big city in America to take the advice of doctors around the country saying you have to find the silence spreaders. This is a silent killer that people without symptoms who can spread. This are critical piece of knowledge in order to open up in the future and in New York City mayor. Bill de Blasio says the city will produce its own cove in nineteen tests kits in partnership with Three D. Printing Company. We realize we had to find another source. Global Market wasn't working. There weren't sources around this country that were reliable enough so we decided we would make our own and this has had been put together very quickly. So we're really an uncharted territory. Creating these tests kids in New York City again. It's these nasal swabs that have been in such short supply in so many places around the country. Now there are also plenty of antibody tests floating around that have not been reviewed or validated by the FDA. The agency said Monday that it was tightening. Its policy to keep unproven and even fraudulent tests from entering the market. It's been a big problem in one. Study of twelve antibody tests. Four were shown to deliver false positive results more than ten percent of the time. Remember if you're testing for. Antibodies and you get a false positive people may incorrectly. Assume they now have the antibodies and are protected and then go out into public and keep spreading. You really want to get that false positive rate under two percent as low as possible. Really the future could lie in at home. Testing Antigen tests would be the easiest to mass produce for home use but again like I said we don't yet have a reliable antigen test for Kovic Nineteen White House Corona Virus Task Force member. Dr Deborah Burke said this last month on. Nbc's Meet the press we have to have a breakthrough innovation and testing. We have to be able to detect antigen than constantly tried to detect the actual live virus or the viral particles itself and to really move into Antigen testing. If an antigen test is approved and mass produced it may serve as a valuable screening tool. But it's probably not going to replace the P. C. R. Saliva or swab tests when it comes to diagnosing Kovic nineteen the Antigen test in this case would be used to screen the PR test would still be the most accurate according to the Guardian scientists working for the US military have designed a PC test. That has the potential to detect the virus as early as twenty four hours after its contracted that could help stop infected people from spreading the virus before they even show symptoms and keep in mind. A lot of people never show symptoms but can still spread the virus. It's another promising maybe and remember this. Testing does need to go hand in hand with contact. Tracing once you find out who's infected that person needs to be isolated and then everyone who has had close contact with that person needs to be traced and sometimes those people need to be quarantined as well test trace and hopefully treat
