If I was in NYC I’d sign up for this in a heartbeat.

I think the next generation of world's best edtech tool or the best AI tutor won't come from those who have been trained in and from prestigious universities and companies

Talking about impeachment. Over the firing of the BLS chief statistician.

More than two dozen gun laws in Colorado have reshaped firearm ownership — and added barriers “When I got here, business was great,” one Colorado gun store owner said. “And now they’re just trying to put up all these barriers and roadblocks and red tape.”

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.

Tech elites are turning AI into ChatGPTrump The administration's new AI plan gives Silicon Valley everything it wants — for a price.

I've been working towards implementing a number of onnx computer vision models directly in TouchDesigner. It's wild how much python I'm writing these days.
