Life is a gift. Use it well.
pitched the city of toronto on a free hackathon where builders use public open data to solve real city problems. top AI lab funding the grand prize. zero cost to the city. during the biggest tech week in the country. their answer: "concerns about branding." so it got killed by "leadership" the data is public. the builders are ready. the city said no to people volunteering to fix their problems for free. so we're doing it anyway. every participant gets API credits. winners get cash prizes, credits, and merch. judging panel includes engineers from the lab itself. we need two things: 🏢 a venue partner - if your company, university, or org wants 150 of toronto's best AI builders in your space for a day, dm me. (space must have good vibes and be central to the city) 🧩 a nonprofit or community org with a real problem - we'll point the builders at it. housing, transit, food security, whatever. if the city won't bring the problems, someone else will. the city couldn't figure out the paperwork. maybe you can. the city doesn't have to show up for the city to benefit. cc: @oliviachow @EvanLSolomon @fordnation @buildfutureto @cityoftoronto @MarkJCarney
As far as I can tell diffusion is happening unusually rapidly in education, health, and law - which really puts a damper on arguments that regulation will slow AI diffusion.
I hear from many young men that they find it difficult to meet young women in a public setting. In other words, the online culture has destroyed the ability to spontaneously meet strangers. As such, I thought I would share a few words that I used in my youth to meet someone that I found compelling. I would ask: “May I meet you?” before engaging further in a conversation. I almost never got a No. It inevitably enabled the opportunity for a further conversation. I met a lot of really interesting people this way. I think the combination of proper grammar and politeness was the key to its effectiveness. You might give it a try. And yes, I think it should also work for women seeking men as well as same sex interactions. Just two cents from an older happily married guy concerned about our next generation’s happiness and population replacement rates.
Semaglutide versus caloric restriction-induced weight loss: insights into effects on skeletal muscle mass and function "...suggests that the loss of muscle function and mass during treatment is not unique to GLP-1RA pharmacology but rather reflects the biology of caloric restriction, and these deficits can be reversed upon weight regain." physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…
I just seen a tiktok of a girl saying she has a friend that has never experienced any trauma and had an amazing childhood and my mind is blown because it has never once crossed my mind that they’re people out there who has never experienced trauma growing up 😭
The concept of killing yourself because you can’t watch women being abused
