Well, hello, this is Eric Topol with Ground Truths and I am absolutely thrilled to welcome Daphne Koller, the founder and CEO of insitro, and a person who I've been wanting to meet for some time. Finally, we converged so welcome, Daphne.

Yeah, I mean you have been rocking everybody over the years with elected to the National Academy of Engineering and Science and right at the interface of life science and computer science and in my view, there's hardly anyone I can imagine who's doing so much at that interface.
It’s safe to say that “The Wire” is television’s social media darling. I don’t know what Twitter or Instagram or Facebook (God forbid) timeline circles you frequent, but in mine, it’s hard to go a day of scrolling before I see Wee-bay give his iconic reaction or see Slim Charles roll up the window on Bodie. Outside of social media, podcasts have sprouted entirely focused behind the subject, and Harvard utilizes “The Wire” in its urban inequality courses.

The Crawler - Machinic Specters
2024-12-03
I once again recognized that the Crawler was an organism. A complex, unique, intricate, awe-inspiring, dangerous organism. It might be inexplicable. It might be beyond the limits of my senses to capture — or my science or my intellect — but I still believed I was in the presence of some kind of living creature, one that practiced mimicry using my own thoughts. For even then, I believed that it might be pulling these different impressions of itself from my mind and projecting them back at me, as a form of camouflage.
The Crime Data Explorer For Dummies
2024-12-03
The FBI will release crime data for 2022 in a few weeks which will inevitably lead to panicky requests being received sent to yours truly about how to access the data on the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer. I’m putting together the below guide to hopefully quell some of those requests.

With one exception, I knew these people either before they killed or before their crimes were discovered – in other words, knew them as normal people in the world rather than as murderers, and although I have lived a rangier life than some, it’s my suspicion that it’s not such a bizarre circumstance – Gary Indiana [1]
Hello All,
Have you head the phrase “to boil a frog”? Its around a lot these days and is based on the idea that if you place a frog in a pot of lukewarm water and slowly heat it up, that the frog won’t realise what’s happening until its too late and it gets boiled to death.
Its a myth by the way. Frog’s aren’t that stupid and if possible they will hop out of the pot.
Back when cyclocross was cool for like two years in the early-2010s, the #crossiscoming hashtag became a thing that everyone did. And like any popular thing in America, people then quickly turned on it and turned it into an object of ridicule. I feel like with ‘cross returning to its niche roots, it is now acceptable to ironically use the #crossiscoming hashtag once again. It’s the circle of life. One of the reasons the hashtag became passe is it was quickly subject to seasonal creep.
