I crossed an interesting threshold yesterday, which I think many other mathematicians have been crossing recently as well. In the middle of trying to prove a result, I identified a statement that looked true and that would, if true, be useful to me. 1/3

The UK is a great country with an extraordinary history. Our stagnation is real, but it's fixable and worth fixing. Enjoyed giving this talk at @lfg_uk last week and so encouraged by the optimistic responses I've had from people who are building a brilliant future for Britain ๐Ÿš€

How does a general-purpose foundation model like Gemini 1.5 pro compare with a domain-specific medical foundation model like RETFound in detecting diabetic retinopathy (DR)? Colleagues at @Moorfields @UCLeye, @MoorfieldsBRC explored the capabilities of the two models

The experience has also unlocked the patriot in me. I sense a growing set of talented people are starting to commit their careers to ensuring that whatever they work on is in some way a service to attempting to revive the UK. I know that I will try to do the same.
