spent more time deploying TinyFish API demos than building them. so I built: tinyfi.sh/
Now: one command = instant public link, free forever, no install, no signup.
Built something with TinyFish API? share it live + contribute to our cookbook github.com/tinyfish-io/cookb…

Before delegating the complex task of student #evaluation to #AI we need to ask a more fundamental question: To what extent does an #LLM’s rating represent a student’s actual capability? writes @maxlvhao @Harvard

Forget the 51st state business proposed by DJT. Let's put Canada and @MarkJCarney in charge of the whole shebang.

I left journalism after nearly 20 years. I thought the hardest part would be fewer scoops, less caffeine, and more meetings. Turns out, that was the easy bit.
Nobody warns you about the identity crisis, the sudden loneliness, or how impossible it becomes to meet new people.
One day, your calls get returned instantly, your inbox never stops, and conversations come effortlessly. The next, you’re at a networking event, pretending to check your email, wondering how normal people do this.

Ever had a boss who knows less than you, makes you do all the work but takes the credit, lacks the skills but holds the title, asks clueless questions, demands more for less, and only values you once you’re gone?

Breaking from @hntrbrkmedia: China’s DJI, the world's largest drone manufacturer, has disabled U.S. geofencing on its drones, enabling flights over airports, military bases, and no-fly zones.
DJI says it is putting “control back in the hands of the drone operators”

The US govt’s TikTok ban has ironically sparked one of the most friendly exchanges between netizens from the US and China on 小红书, an app without an English name or a translation function
Just unbelievable
No strategist can came up with such a bizarre & brilliant idea 😂

Mitigating racial bias from LLMs is a lot easier than removing it from humans!
Can’t believe this happened at the best AI conference @NeurIPSConf
We have ethical reviews for authors, but missed it for invited speakers? 😡
