Eric Schmidt: What I remember when you first called on this was the observation that many of these housing units are reasonably dense, they're reasonably vertical. So they're particularly amenable to a shared service, running a fiber line. You can serve it with -- very many -- very many, many people very, very efficiently. It's sort of a no-brainer as a public actfor corporations and you guys to sort of make this happen. And the benefits are very quick.
And this is the year where we learned that the Communist Party was willing to do whatever it took to stay in power and was not amenable to the idea of political reform. And this is the year where we saw them willing to use live ammunition on student protesters.
Or it could be the Mojave Desert-- turns out it's Mars, right? That's not amenable . I don't have any constraints scientifically to actually address that.
that were keeping up with technology. not naturally amenable to constant liquid exchange.
So trying to grow them in this way just doesn't work. So they're not amenable to this direct study by microbiological techniques. But the advent of two technologies that are the absolute sort of basis for all the work that we do in my lab have enabled
In other words, they're viewed as, in some sense, similar to infections, and potentially amenable to the same kind of medical interventions that infections are amenable to. But they're not. They're actually all part and parcel of one single process, the accumulation of damage
really great example and as you go around you can see that so much of the world in New York has been built to make it make it amenable for dogs because it's not really a place that's great for dogs but you have doggie babysitting you have doggie limo services you have not just dog parks but you have multi multi tiered dog parks so you have small dog
I don't have these special configurations of water. Do you think any of that is amenable to mathematical analysis?
We want to think that measurement is a physical process. And physical processes should be amenable to analysis. We should be able to come up with a physical theory of how measurement works.
I mean, even in my own community, people looking for housing for people and lending a room. If you are at all amenable to hosting, for example, and you have an extra room, and you're in the area, to just make that available. It really, really counts.
I'm not getting into like, you know, reincarnation and so on. Talking about the parts that are amenable to examination via modern psychology, modern philosophy. And that's the kind of examination I do in the book.
So just to remind you, here are the two views, put in terms of whether attention promotes This idea of global broadcasting seems more amenable .
That's the sample that's going to allow us to calculate the fraction of stars in our galaxy that host small, potentially habitable planets. Maybe it's even more amenable to life than our own planet-- I don't know.
And it responds in kind with loyalty, courage, obedience, and the signs of quiet contentment. In practical terms, this as quid pro quo, because a happy cricket is amenable to training and as its health, skill, and confidence increase under the trainer's care, so too does its fighting spirit. And as he was explaining all this, describing the sexual regiment he provides, outlining the many symptoms of ill-health
meaning warm enough for liquid water to flow on the surface, and yet not too warm that that liquid water could evaporate away, so amenable conditions for liquid water. And that's what we can do with climate modeling.
Or a cynic might say that people are amenable to marketing messages, and want things that they don't really want.
But they luckily were very in the end amenable to this topic
And I feel like I'm in much more amenable company now.
physics is what we call systems that at least look to be amenable to a very simple, low agency kind of model, and so
We think some of these properties are going to make neurons and networks amenable to continuous learning, so the ability to continually learn
I'm actually happy to read from that section if you're amenable .
That's the sample that's going to allow us to calculate the fraction of stars in our galaxy that host small, potentially habitable planets. And the reason this is interesting is because these nearby stars will be amenable to characterization studies afterwards with the James Webb Space Telescope.
or that we remember it's all a a constructed fiction that is amenable to
- Yes. - Maybe that would be outside or even would you guess even that might be amenable to efficient modeling by a classical machine?
in development economics and economics as a whole between looking at very specific narrow interventions that may be amenable to RCTs versus, say, broader interventions
And so that tells us we want to prioritize those when we're talking about looking for life. But just because we found that Earth-sized planet doesn't mean that it has the conditions amenable for life, that it has liquid water on it. So that first step is finding the planet.
but be empowered by the ability to investigate things at scale like SEC findings or other kinds of things that might not be amenable to traditional methods.
So what are we trying to sustain? What we really are trying to sustain if we're being honest is the climactic conditions that are amenable to a particular kind of civilization-- ours, right? It's technological. It's energy intensive.
But we were trying at that time to document major civil and mechanical engineering landmarks for our collection and they were very amenable .
in health care. That seems to be a natural segue for those areas that are more amenable to these applications of machine
But there is a danger that we try and find hard technology solutions to things that aren't amenable to that.
chemically different and, in various ways, not amenable to processing by the macrophage.
Yeah. So if the incentive in the workplace does not make itself amenable --
Johannes Kepler taught us in the 1600s that the orbital period is directly related to the distance between the star and the planet. So now you know how close to the campfire you are-- that is, you know if it's amenable for liquid water to pool on the surface, or if it's in this Goldilocks zone. Just to give you some appreciation for how technically challenging this is, a dimming of light due to an Earth-sized planet orbiting
On the top, we have stars like our sun-- these are those K-type stars-- and on the bottom, we have the tiny M-type starts. And so the green band is the Goldilocks Zone, where the energy you receive on the surface of the planet is amenable for liquid water. So you can see that we have a few dozen that have been discovered so far that are smaller than twice the size of Earth.
They're not yet saying you must build solar, but they're saying that the overall layout of new communities has to be amenable to solar.
These diseases are normally viewed as diseases. In other words, they're viewed as, in some sense, similar to infections, and potentially amenable to the same kind of medical interventions that infections are amenable to.
ribs smashed, and a big gash in its side, and it wasn't amenable , really, to being stuffed, at least not by the
So you can effectively train, and in the shoulder, particularly, is very amenable , the strength around it.
enough, maybe it's gonna be so much easier for the school to do stuff in this way, that things that aren't amenable to automation will simply vanish from the curriculum. Is
make us do it? And how does the passage of time, and our approaching mortality, change our thought processes and perhaps make us more amenable to wisdom? In
Now, of course, as you can understand, I wanted to meet with Justice Scalia because I thought who on the face of the planet, let alone in the country, would really be most amenable
