In PHAN we’re about to go through an expert review to determine, how we, as a small non-profit, can most effectively reduce the spread of airborne disease. If you have creative, high leverage ideas for us to pursue, please submit a proposal for us to evaluate alongside our own ideas.
Congratulations!
More of what my colleagues and I have been working on at GDM on AI for fusion is public now: deepmind.google/discover/blo...
AI is evolving too quickly for an annual report to suffice. To help policymakers keep pace, we're introducing the first Key Update to the International AI Safety Report. 🧵⬇️

Oh, actually it was ~3/15. But all of my own time. I then handed things over to my co-author who did a ~12 minute talk on GANs
@publichealthaction.bsky.social now has a blog. @juliadoubleday.bsky.social has written a guest post about her experience living with long COVID.
If you’re interested in resources for staying safe from COVID, take our survey on how Public Health Action Network can best support you: publichealthactionnetwork.org/phan-safer-s...
I ordered one when orders opened today, don’t have it yet obviously

The recording of the GAN test of time award talk by my co-author David Warde-Farley is now available: neurips.cc/virtual/2024...
My co-authors have completed one of the projects I was working on with them before I went on disability leave. Check out this great explainer thread from @davidlindner.bsky.social
Another more specific way people can help: does anyone know if it’s safe to take betahistine if I have MCAS? And does taking antihistamines make betahistine ineffective?
Thanks
Sorry, where did you send it?
Most of us aren’t on BlueSky but @memimo.bsky.social is
Thanks. I have an appointment set up with her for January.
No, I’ve never been a heavy headphone user and always been careful about my noise exposure (before getting ear disease). You can see in my profile pic I even wear “cat ears” when biking
I’ve seen some web pages that say betahistine can lead to increased histamine synthesis. Do you know if that’s accurate? My ears have responded well to migraine treatment so it would make sense for them to respond badly to more histamine
I tried betahistine for about 4 days and it seemed to make things worse. At the time I had not been off diuretics too long and my ears were still fairly stable. After a few days on betahistine I got woken up by tearing / popping sounds in my right ear + new pure tone tinnitus
Thanks. I’m in the normal range for everything in Quest’s antiphospholipid antibody panel
Thanks
This is Vaughn and where else?
Re clotting: my fibrinogen activity and D-dimer are normal, does that rule out clotting?
What is STING in this context? I’m not seeing anything that looks like it could be fixed by surgery
Eagles syndrome: I don’t have any pain or any trouble swallowing or turning my head. I’ve had a CB-CT scan of my head and the radiologist didn’t notice any Eagles syndrome
Thanks. Yeah, I wear compression socks + tights + abdominal binder. I had a vascular ultrasound done of my neck and didn’t find anything wrong, not sure if that rules out everything.
As far as I know it’s the amount of sodium that reaches the inner ear (and how much that level fluctuates) that matters, not the delivery method.
I use CPAP anyway. I’ll ask my doctor if I should add an oxygen concentrator to it.
Thanks! Looks like Lumia is sold out but I signed up to be notified when the next batch is ready
