I have worked as an architect in HCLS technology for 10 years with Google and AWS.
Listening to you stitch all the technology and innovation together, moving from the information world to the physical world, as a patient, almost brought me to tears.
You said this will be the standard of care in 30-years, but the capability is here today. Listening to your recording is a profound moment in my life.
I can attribute jumping several economic classes to the social skills I honed in high school and college. I have many friendships that are decades-plus and I had 150+ of my invited friends / family attend my wedding.
Emotionally, I do not long for new friends. It's a lot of work to maintain the relationships I have with my friends, family, wife and daughter.
I find aimless socialization these days to be laborious. I just do not give a shit.
I recently moved to NYC. I am at a point in my career where it's networking and politics that will get me ahead. I see a lot of my net-new socialization moving this direction.
I agree with you. This is brilliant. Tele-operation of the humanoid vs. waiting for AI is the key here. Then off-shore the tele-operation when you've smoothed out the edges.
I'll personally wait to own best hardware (Unitree) and purchase my own 3P tele-operation service contract.
Thank you for spending the time to write this comment. As a solution architect, I don't write production-level code. I did not know of anything beyond unit / functional testing in verification automation.
When evaluating use-cases where blockchain technology is leveraged to disintermediate, I came to your same conclusions. Technically novel? Yes, sure. But, for what?
We're replacing old-school bed alarms and call buttons in Senior Living facilities.
The bed sensors that we manufacture are strapped to beds and monitor for out-of-bed, potential infection and medication error via algorithms on-top of real-time vital sign data.
We mount always-on iPad in high traffic area for the nurses to grab alerts. Sirens are mounted in hallways to grab audible attention. The whole system is Zigbee 3.0.
Nurses are leaving the industry in droves. The "Silver Tsunami" is approaching rapidly. We're helping nurses scale and keeping elderly safer in their homes.
For my W2 job, I broker the commercial sale of "real world evidence". It's usually hospital, insurance and pharmaceutical claims data. The buyer is largely big pharma. They want it for things like monitoring a patient's journey and adverse events related to their drugs. There's use-cases in clinical development and pre-market as well.
As archaic as HIPAA is, the tools that we have today to obfuscate PHI (e.g. tokenization) respect the individual's privacy. The major cloud infrastructure providers are all HITRUST certified and ready to sign BAAs to keep everyone accountable.
I think we're in a good place right now for innovation with healthcare data. Multi-modal (think genome + claims + social determinants of health) are starting to become a thing. As a population, we'll benefit from more targeted therapies.
Technology is catching up with the swaths of data that has been amassed since the 2000's. I hope for more innovation vs. shackling it with uninformed regulation.
Vice News Tonight, when it was on HBO, was fantastic. 30-minutes of global headlines moving very quickly. I would have paid $15/month for this show alone.
Just checked out Nix. I can definitely see myself using nix-shell. Do you actually use nix-build? If so, do you like it more than working with the familiar 3P tooling (i.e. docker)?
This is what I am missing as well. I'm a pre-sales technical architect that keeps looking for use-cases where I am able to leverage this technology. 75% of my work is in draw.io and PowerPoint.
