Had been waiting to watch Flipside, so I appreciate the update! Hopefully, I will find time to watch it this week.

As an aside, one of my favorite things about LLMs or engines like Perplexity is linking complex, jargon-heavy articles (such as the Glioblastoma one) and asking it to summarize and explain using language a 14-year-old would understand. Makes learning new things much easier.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Let me know what you think when you watch it! It's hard to describe, but I really enjoyed the journey 💚 🥃

Totally agreed on this use for LLM. It's like having an infinitely patient and smart private tutor on call 24/7.

Nice edition! It’s fascinating how many satellites we have launched. What changed in recent times that has enabled this? What good is going to come of this?

I think a big part of this comes from SpaceX, both reducing launch costs, and launching its own constellation of satellites for Starlink.

Amazon is also starting its own constellation with Kuiper, so I don't think it'll slow down any time soon

Watching a stream of Starlink satellites stream overhead after a launch is kind of creepy.

As someone who has grade 2 oligodendroglioma, your piece on glioblastoma was highlight reading! Not just for that variation, but more for cancer treatment across the board. I think we've all known multiple people who get crushed physically, mentally and financially from the many various forms of cancer. Also, loved the opening quote on teaching. Thanks for a wonderful update!

Thank you for reading, Kevin. I don't know much about oligodendroglioma, I'll have to read up. But I'm wishing you the very best! It feels like we are close to many breakthroughs with immunotherapy 💚 🥃
