I remember seeing some results from a group using OCT imaging[0] that was on-par with a CGM, just bulky and requiring multiple high-end GPUs to actually run. So it's in principle possible, if nowhere near practical currently
I found it to be way too underspecific; more of cursory overview for a undergraduate seeing it for the first time in a business school than someone interested in digging into time series forecasting in depth. Don't have a better recommendation though, unfortunately.
Thank god, I've had to cobble something like this together for my own notes a couple of times trying to parse papers and was never quite sure if I was missing something.
funny that one of the better f u t u r e ideas in this thread got heavily downvoted. This is probably one of the more efficient ways to automate package delivery, up to a small-ish size, and requiring a pretty high density. If NY wasn't a clusterfuck when it comes to getting projects built, they might actually have the density to justify the maintenance costs.

why not just use pneumatics? It's a proven technology used in sufficiently large facilities.
Even fire safety is frequently done in an overly onerous and ineffective way, e.g. the double staircase requirement that doesn't apply in many other places because other, more space efficient solutions were found.
They mean a heat pump. You apply work to transfer heat, getting more inside than if you had just turned the energy into heat directly; the outside gets colder of course.
So the most physically grounded example I know of is the undecidability of some spectral gaps[0] (is there a discrete jump between the ground state and the excited states), which as far as I can tell doesn't rely on self-reference.
Interesting, sort of like a reverse chesterton's fence argument: just because a thing used to be used to do x, doesn't mean that's the only purpose it could possibly serve.
As someone involved, yes, wastewater is included, though its a trickier data source to work with than people make it out to be. health insurance claims are the newest source I'm most excited for, though they're hard to work with for privacy reasons.
The sibling speculating about google search trends is right. Though we also did facebook surveys for a while. A lot of effort is put into making sure nothing that's possibly identifiable is present, so characterizing this as about tracking people is... pretty dumb.
