I don't have a hard time believing the economic impact of 5G. It should enable the full-blown IoT. I don't think 4G does that. It's not necessarily speed as much as it is instantaneous connection and response. I'm generally dubious of techsters, but this one I buy.
In any event, 5G should be up and running next year. I rather doubt Broadcom was going to upset that particular apple cart, but, if you think it's hugely critical, I can understand not wanting to take the risk.
Anywho, an important, arguably sensible decision is once again cast into the shadows. And tomorrow the big news will be special election results in Yinzer country. So, the Q deal is completely buried.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Yeah. It's an odd thing -- I think Q has been relatively "selfless" doing the research and building the network. I say relatively because I don't think it's as big a RoI as other ventures -- they're obviously still going to make money, though. Hence the concern that Broadcom may switch focus.Correct.

Anyway, IoT connectivity and emerging markets rate as fascinating to me.
In the same general ballpark -- and up your alley -- Medical AI technologies also rate as fascinating. I get to judge a pitch contest next month on Med IT and there will be some fairly interesting AI technologies. That iceberg is coming full fucking speed. I expect AI-based surgeries in the next 20-30 years. The initial stuff -- reading scans, images, etc -- that's in play within 5 years and standard within in 10 (IMO). Of course, I don't know how difficult it is to navigate the medical services field, so I could be way optimistic.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

I'd be surprised if the stuff is vital across all economic sectors. There can be only one Germany, but that country has the world's most rock-solid manufacturing sector and a serious lag in connectivity. More connectivity is a sales pitch. I think the logistics industry is where infrastructure efforts ought to go. It's too easy to indulge in intangibles when thinking about the economy, and you risk ignoring the tangibles. Small marginal improvements in logistics could make a big difference. We should not be pursuing the unicorns at the expense of things we no longer thing of as "technology"
but remain vital ingredients.
I don't know that this was ever going to be a front-page story, though, or a good opportunity to view the workings of government from a higher plane than usual. Our media don't really know how to explain the ultimate beneficial ownership of an entity, or to pursue a cost-benefit analysis of tech rather than swoon once again under the persuasive-on-paper ``game changer tech" intangibles-based argument.Comment

Medical AI sounds interesting. It's very hard to know what the cost savings would be since costs are such an artificial construct in that sector. Seems like a great sector for AI on paper though. Maybe better than watching an orthopedic surgeon glance at my MRI, misdiagnose, blow off questions, and then send me for PT, where a physiotherapist will spend the time necessary to find the right diagnosis. Then again I assume that doctor has to blow off questions because he's got to process a million patients becuase he's got so much overhead because he's got so much equipment.Comment

The AMA is powerful. Programs can read and analyze a lot of things now, and it's getting bigger and better, but while it may help with accuracy I do not think we are that close to it helping much with the money side because the MDs mandate oversight. In other words, a third party payer and a Medical Center's dollar expenditures will be the same. Maybe more. Because you buy the program and still reimburse a MD to check the "math" of the program."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

I don't think the cost-savings will be immediate for reasons AA mentions, but I think the long-term will see cost reductions or slower increases.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Also, there will need to be policy drivers. I think that legislatures will ultimately have to act (e.g., in terms of licensing or liability) to fully advance Medical AI.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Trump's personal aide was also fired today because it's emerged he's under investigation for 'serious financial crimes' unrelated to the President. Reports say he wasn't allowed to even get his coat before being escorted out

No worries for him. He’s already back with the “campaign”. Don’t think criminal acts are a deal breaker for this president.

A good deal of medical decision making is amenable to AI but as AA points out you hire MDs to check the math.
I'd put it another way ...... medicine is part art and part science. In the diagnosis of a constellation of symptoms, 2+2 does not always equal 4 and AI relies on that kind of mathmatics to perform effectively.
When AI can render art the way Michaelangelo rendered the celing of the Sistine Chapel, I'll start believing it will play a larger part in the practice of Medicine.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished.
