@agrim26 @avoanjali Looks good! I’d add another banner with the registration link between the footer and judges just to remind people to register.

Lack of innovation and design (likely a C-level decision fall-out), lack of performance compared to others, and the disruption in the reseller market. They coasted on Jordans for too long.

Nike is experiencing some of their worst numbers in a decade. Their stock is down 30% yet everyone is running, run clubs have never been cooler, the WNBA is hot & interest in women’s football is on the rise etc. There’s something wrong.

Or you want someone who is an expert in bypassing security restrictions/regulations.

The former head of the NSA may be a great guy. But you don’t put the former head of the NSA on your board (as OpenAI just did) because he’s nice. You put him there to signal that you’re open to doing business with the IC and DoD.

This story has been floating around my feed, and while I recognize that we’re talking about student, I just don’t understand why @AkshGarg03 and @siddrrsh originally took credit for the code when they didn’t write it at all. Now they’re choosing to throw him under the bus.

Re Llama3V: First of all, we want to apologize to the original authors of MiniCPM. We wanted Mustafa to make the original statement but have been unable to contact him since yesterday.

@siddrrsh and I posted Llama3V with @mustafaaljadery. Mustafa wrote the code for the project. Sid and I were both really excited about multimodal models and liked the architectural extensions on top of Idefics, SigLip, and UHD he described to us. Thus, our role here was to help him promote the model on medium and twitter. Sid and I looked at recent papers to validate the novelty of the work but we were not informed of or aware of any of the previous work by @OpenBMB.

We apologize to the authors and are quite disappointed in ourselves for not doing the diligence to verify the originality of this work. It was our duty to verify our work against past research and we failed in that, so we take full responsibility for what happened. Going forward, @siddrrsh and I will be much more cautious and diligent, and we sincerely thank the community for bringing this to our attention. We've taken all references to Llama3V down in respect to the original work and apologize once again.

- Aksh and Siddharth

Well, damn: “Chief technology officer Mira Murati appointed interim CEO to lead OpenAI; Sam Altman departs the company.”

I finally got a chance to tell a story that I’ve been keeping to myself for 6+ years. My first fulltime job was as a consultant at McKinsey. At the time, it seemed like a dream job—a way to work with brilliant people, learn a lot, and maybe even improve things from the inside 🧵

This and this prime real estate holding psychic fronts.

What editor will let me write a 4,000-word exposé on the obvious drug front that is Variazioni, the NYC chain store perpetually in the midst of a closing sale with a website that says "coming soon" and an Instagram account that hasn't posted since 2014.

Did not think my love for all things 90s including trips to Blockbuster would end up in the @washingtonpost, but really enjoyed taking this trip down with @KasulisK.

@KasulisK Just sent you a note!

The 2nd and 3rd largest bank failures in US history just happened

But over the weekend, the US government stepped in to bail out both

Here's what that actually means

And we’ll watch as they inflate away the debt. It's about to be a bumpy ride.

Ivy Park is a v.confusing brand because I can't figure out who it’s for.

[Rex Woodbury @rex_woodbury]

More celebrity brands are failing.

Adidas is set to lose $200M on Beyoncé’s Ivy Park this year. That's on top of a $1.3B loss from Yeezy.

What went wrong? In order to work, a celeb brand needs to get three things right:

Podcasts were just 7% of listening on Spotify in Q1 2022, despite the massive investment.

Now the company is cutting back:
- It froze its US budget for new podcasts
- It didn't re-up its exclusive deal with Brené Brown
- In October, it pulled 11 originals from the platform

Listening to Closer, Changes pt.2 and Lonely is like watching a seductive, slow and soul crunching story unfold right before your eyes.

There’s bone deep heartache rounded out by pop. Every message personal and every line intentional.
