We love our startups, but there's no way private companies can make up for lost federal funding on a grand scale. #standwithscience www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Good news for the Hudson Valley πŸ—½

It's #WorldBookDay (in the UK and Ireland, at least) πŸ’™πŸ“š Love the smell of new or old books? Here's the chemical explanation for what you're smelling! www.compoundchem.com/2014/06/01/n... #ChemSky πŸ§ͺ

Wishing you the optimism of this plastic flamingo in an upstate NY winter

Our hearts are with everyone affected by the devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area. [1/4]

Los Angeles teachers, if you lost your classroom library in the fire, I am a HS English teacher and YA author and I will get you books whenever you're ready for them. The bookish community is here for you. There is no expiration date. tinyurl.com/LAFireBookDo...

When you sit down to draft a contract but suddenly get the urge to clean your office instead

Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!) Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled... As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

Too often, public #health workers only get noticed when things go wrong. So it's refreshing to celebrate these recent wins in NY:

Happy Solstice to you and yours!

Normalize naming your startup after old British slang. The tech world needs Plobby, Cucumberish, and Rannygazoo 🧐

πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ definitely saving this to peruse later!

ngl, I'm intrigued by "How to Avoid Huge Ships" #BookSky

Classic contract law move -- using ambiguity in a defined term to get what you want

Interesting takeaways from yesterday's Decoder: βš–οΈ Lawyers are early adopters for once, since LLMs do well with text-intensive tasks πŸ€– AI agents could be the next step for monetization πŸ’° Quote of the episode: "Dare I ask... are we in a bubble?" 🀣

Day 5 of #ChemAdvent looks at cooling candy canes – they make your mouth feel cold when you eat them due to a particular compound in peppermint #ChemSky πŸ§ͺ

#Vegan dark chocolate from Askanya, tastes as good as it looks

This. It's amazing how often just adding "provide links" to a prompt will show that the LLM doesn't have the first clue what it's talking about.
