Tempus enables precision medicine through the practical application of artificial intelligence in healthcare. We have one of the world’s largest libraries of clinical and molecular data, and we use that to train and ship ML algorithms that can help doctors choose the right therapies specifically for their patients. The goal is for each patient to benefit from the treatment of others who came before by providing physicians with tools that learn as Tempus gathers more data.

I lead the Algos Engineering team. My team ships AI models driven by molecular (DNA and RNA), clinical and imaging data. We've recently shipped algorithms that drive new therapies to patients (see https://www.tempus.com/additional-testing/ ) with more on the way. This is some of the most exciting and cutting-edge research in the industry, and I am lucky to work with an exceptional data science and medical team every day.

We are hiring for

* Software Engineers

* Engineering Leads

* Designers

* Dev Ops

* Data Scientists

If you are a software engineer with a passion for seeing machine learning in production use by real patients, either apply to the role at https://www.tempus.com/careers/job/?gh_jid=4525173002 - or reach out to me at [email protected] .

What an example to choose the same week that Paul is out defending Antonio Garcia Martinez's sexism on Twitter.

In Chicago especially (where the study was based and where I live), police fairly clearly have an overuse of force in general. They have paid enormous sums over many years in lawsuits for wrongful use of force. There is plenty of research to show that when confronted with complex problems police will respond with force when other tactics may have been better for all (such as cited in this book - https://www.npr.org/2019/01/02/681606995/punishment-without-... )

Terraform prints out the number of resources changed and at least requires a "yes" to proceed. Not quite as onerous as described but at least prevents some type of fat-fingering. Basically all changes with Terraform are risky as they usually involved bringing up and down infrastructure.

   Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # google_compute_instance.vm_instance will be created
  + resource "google_compute_instance" "vm_instance" {
  + ... <more>
 
   Plan: 2 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.

   Do you want to perform these actions?
    Terraform will perform the actions described above.
    Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.

   Enter a value: yes

Thank you for documenting and sharing your experience. Nobody should have to go through that yet it happens every day, over and over.
