My "magic laptop/meeting with the President" thought experiment is up. The tldr version is "if you could call anyone (and it can be a conference call) who would you call, and what would you ask them to do?" https://lnkd.in/gCsdfy4b

Very interesting and currently reading the McKinsey & Company memo on incentive prizes. My charity Crowd Funded Cures wants to engage with a management consulting firm to conduct a feasibility study into prizes backed by pharmaceutical payers (govt and health insurers) in order to address the market failure for generic drug and nutraceutical repurposing, reduce healthcare costs and improve outcomes - https://crowdfundedcures.medium.com/pay-for-success-contracts-a-new-model-to-develop-new-therapies-from-old-drugs-f69b2189184d

Nice Tom! This is a great resource. Also fun to read the “Power Tools for Progress” memo. That’s useful! And still relevant a decade later.

The holographic images are so realistic that you'll feel like you're watching a scene unfold right in front of your eyes. But the magic doesn't stop there. This laptop is also capable of translating languages in real-time.

Congrats to Darshak Sanghavi at Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) for launching a “pay for success” program to improve health outcomes such as maternal health, opiod use, heart attack/stroke, and alcohol related harms. Particularly important, given declining US life expectancy. For details, see https://lnkd.in/dbqgMm_X

Biden policies are significantly increasing the use of visas for STEM workers and entrepreneurs (O-1A, EB-2) by 30-55 percent. Immigration attorney Sophie Alcorn predicts these changes will result in “new technology startups that would not otherwise have been created.” Congrats to USCIS! https://lnkd.in/gD8D_Q3W

Thanks to Candice Ammori for inviting me to speak at Climate Vine to discuss climate innovation earlier this year!

Founder, Climate Vine

It's hard to believe that Tom Kalil of Schmidt Futures was our first ever external Climate Vine speaker back on April 13th. Since then, we've hosted dozens of speakers who have shared valuable insights with our 300+ Members 🎉 These speakers are so fabulous that we want to share their key takeaways with the larger climate community here and in upcoming newsletters 🧠 For this inaugural piece focused on the intersection of climate innovation and policy, feel free to comment with what resonates most, relevant resources and examples you'd like to share, or tag in others who might be interested in these insights 🤗 **The PDF is downloadable for accessibility, so you can save it for yourself and/or share it with others. #climate #climatevine #insights

Market Shaping Accelerator at University of Chicago (supported by Schmidt Futures and Griffin Catalyst) releases research showing huge payoff from Advance Market Commitments for heat tolerant crops. For sorghum, benefit:cost ratio would be 138:1! Over 100 million people in West Africa and the Sahel rely on sorghum. Critical need for increased research by CGIAR as well. https://lnkd.in/dXcaFjzz

Many people complain about politics, but very few are prepared to do anything about it. It's fantastic to see smart, hard-working and ethical technologists like Ashwin Ramaswami run for State Senate in Georgia. I hope you will consider supporting his campaign, and letting friends and colleagues (especially in Georgia!) know about his candidacy. See https://lnkd.in/gSnaZBPS for more information!

A great essay by Erika Alden DeBenedictis and Niko McCarty on the role that predictive ML models could play in transforming biology! I’m delighted that Schmidt Futures and Griffin Catalyst are supporting work by Erika and her team at Align to Innovate to define and create “sequence to function” datasets. Researchers in different fields should collaborate to identify (1) key prediction and design problems; (2) datasets and evals needed to train the ML models that would solve these problems; (3) platform technologies that could lower the cost of generating the data. Researchers in fields with expensive shared facilities (astronomy, earth observation) have a tradition of agenda-setting (National Academy decadal surveys) because they have to. We need a lighter-weight mechanism for identifying shared resources (like datasets) in other fields like biology, chemistry, materials science and engineering. https://lnkd.in/g3fDMAmj

Lenovo Magic Bay turns your laptop into a Swiss Army knife

The Magic Bay port on the newest ThinkBook designs can add a souped-up camera, microphone, card reader. or cooling fan.

Laptop computers trade utility for portability. That’s part of their very design DNA, a sacrifice so fundamental that we barely even think about it anymore. But Lenovo is trying out a couple of new ideas that could bridge that utility gap, creating a new type of laptop accessory that effortlessly expands the device’s capability. It’s called “Magic Bay,” and it’s coming to market…or at least part of it is. Brad Chacos got to try it out on the CES show floor.

Magic Bay adds a modular expansion to the top of a standard laptop design, just above where the webcam usually rests. The latest iterations of the ThinkBook 13X and ThinkBook 16P are equipped with this dock, which combines strong magnets and POGO pins (as seen on tablets and some smartwatches) to easily attach and remove extra gadgets with a fast USB 3.0 data connection. The first showcase for this tech is an add-on that gives the laptop a far more powerful webcam and extra speakers.

The “Magic Bay Studio” accessory adds a 4K camera with a 90-degree field of view, HDR processing, 4X digital zoom, auto-focus, auto exposure, auto white balance…you get the picture. It’s a nice camera, the kind that generally requires a lot more space and a full USB connection. It also adds an extra pair of two-watt speakers, which act in tandem with the laptop’s existing speakers to add a fuller voice profile. While keeping this thing attached to your laptop full-time would make it a lot more bulky, it’s easy to pop on and off and slide right into your bag.

The souped-up camera is the only Magic Bay attachment that Lenovo has confirmed will come to market. Other ideas on display at CES are a more premium directional microphone, an add-on card reader, an extra circular screen apparently used exclusively for emoji, and even a cooling fan (for you, not the computer) and aromatherapy scent spreader. Neat. All of them can be installed and removed simply by placing them on the magnetic port.

But if I put on my critical thinking cap for a moment, I have to say I can’t see this system catching on. In terms of pure capability, the Magic Bay connector is just a slightly sleeker way to plug in a USB cable. And USB already covers so many of these practical tools without the need for a specific format with extra magnets (not to mention a licensing fee to Lenovo, if third parties wanted to join in). Similar modular designs have failed to catch on before, as the market simply gravitates to what’s smallest, cheapest, and easiest to use. Even the Magic Bay Studio isn’t doing anything more than a Logitech webcam could, and costs a good bit more for the same capability.

But that’s just one tech writer’s opinion. And I’d be a real sourpuss to dismiss the idea before it comes to market, when the ThinkBook 13X Gen 4 and ThinkBook 16P Gen 5 launch sometime in the first quarter of 2024, starting at $1,399 and $1,599 respectively. The Magic Bay Studio will be available in April for $199.99. To see more of the latest and greatest tech at CES, be sure to subscribe to PCWorld on YouTube.

Reviews for "Discover the Magic of the Laptop That Does It All"

1. Emma - 2/5 stars - While the concept of a magic laptop seemed interesting, the execution in "Watch the magic laptop" fell flat for me. The characters were one-dimensional and the plot was predictable. Additionally, the writing style felt forced and the dialogue was awkward at times. Overall, I found the story to be unoriginal and lacking depth.

2. David - 1/5 stars - I was highly disappointed by "Watch the magic laptop". The plot was confusing and the magical elements were poorly explained. The characters were unlikable and their motivations were unclear. The pacing was also off, with certain scenes dragging on for too long while others were rushed. I couldn't connect with the story and it left me feeling unsatisfied.

3. Sarah - 3/5 stars - "Watch the magic laptop" had an interesting concept, but it failed to deliver on its potential. The story had too many subplots and they didn't fully connect or resolve by the end. The writing was inconsistent, with some parts being engaging while others were dull. While there were some moments of humor, they couldn't make up for the overall lackluster experience. I can see how some people might enjoy it, but it just wasn't for me.
