That DeepMind documentary (“The Thinking Game”) now has ~300m views on YouTube.
The most replayed scene is a meeting when someone tells Demis that AlphaFold can “easily” predict all known (1-2B) protein sequences “in a month”.
He looks up from his phone and says “Why don’t we just do that? That’s a great idea. We should just run every protein in existence and then release that.”
That would ultimately lead to the Nobel Prize.
Interesting backstory from WSJ on how they were able to capture the footage of the meeting: a former NFL Films director (Greg Kohs) had done some commercials for Google and they asked him to do the documentary for the famous 2016 AlphaGo match with Lee Sedol.
After that project, Kohs realized he should just do a documentary on DeepMind (Google would own rights but he had full editorial final cut).
He spent a ton of time with Demis and Co from 2018-2024, and that’s how he got that incredible moment of Demis and AlphaFold (including the moment they released it to the world).

Sunday morning was foggy, misty and magical - running across the Brooklyn Bridge without seeing the river/skyline felt surreal.

"People will use Sanskrit for their prayers, Hindi for films and affairs of the heart, their mother tongue for their families, and English for their careers.
It’s hard to find a monolingual Indian. That should be celebrated, not threatened."

As inviting as it can be, please do not step onto the ice of any Central Park water body—& don’t let your dog go out either! Falling into frigid water can cause life-threatening hypothermia within minutes. If you see someone in danger on, in, or near a Park water body, call 911.

Lost in the Park? 🤔 Here’s a helpful tip—even for lifelong New Yorkers: check the four numbers on any lamppost base. The first two numbers indicate the nearest street, and if the the last two numbers are odd, you're on the west side and if they are even, you're on the east side.

Today, India became the only nation to pass 400K cases in one day: 402K
21% test +
3500 deaths
True infections, deaths likely 3-5X more
Folks arriving to full hospitals today infected 7-10 days ago
Unfortunately, India yet to see ravages of this week's 2.5M known infections

21% of US Dollars were printed in 2020 (so far), or $4.5 Trillion.
This is more than the amount of money created in the previous 5 years, yet only 5% of it is new cash in circulation.

Food for thought: The economics of #coffee
Roughly 80% of the price you pay for your morning #coffee is the final retail cost. Growing, exporting, roasting and distribution represent 20%.

ICE is telling international students on F-1 and M-1 visas that if their school is doing online-only courses they must leave the country or transfer to a place with in-person instruction—or they'll be deemed in the US illegally and subject to deportation. ice.gov/news/releases/sevp-m…

Nothing will embarrass India more than the #Covid_19 prevention measures. It shows how the citizens literally have no comprehension skills & cannot understand instructions no matter how many times it is repeated to them.
#JantaCurfew has totally backfired.
