No, THANK YOU! Truly a honor to wear the 💜💛 while trying to continuing the greatness & legacies that came before me! Hope I made a few proud during my stint. 🙏🏾🫡👑

As usual, @hadleywickham has one of the cleanest, simplest, nicest explanations of things: in this case, the relationship between LLMs, harnesses, and agents. Better than a million Medium posts.

Huge update.. I joined @Cognition

I’m so incredibly proud of what we built at @PromptLayer. Although it feels a little surreal, I know the team is left in amazing hands. I’ll be staying on as an advisor and can’t wait to see where they take it.

We started PromptLayer four years ago, and we practically coined the term “prompt engineering”. ChatGPT had come out weeks prior. Nobody knew exactly how LLMs would evolve, but we did know it will completely change the way we build.

We were the first developer platform for this new type of builder.

Cognition feels like an extension of this vision. Devin is how this new builder will imagine, invent, and create. We're entering the age of software abundance, to steal a term from @scottwu46

Everything is Coding Agents. It’s the single biggest problem in AI. Cognition is one of the fastest growing companies ever.

But I think the team is what really sold it for me- it's packed with so many former founders

Excited to share more soon...

[Suraj Rampure @rampure_suraj]

Interesting observation: this @NBA season had 8 teams with either 60 wins (3) or 60 losses (5). This is the most since 1997-98, where there 10(!) such teams.

@github My old department's GitHub organization was flagged out of nowhere: https://t.co/ZxWVvp7vMR

All they host there is educational content (course websites, Jupyter Notebooks, etc.)

New term starts Monday; many course websites are down (impacts 600+ students)

Please help!

Over the years I've been asked many times for advice on pedagogy, what to read to learn more, etc. I've finally put together a bunch of materials into one blog post: Key Advice • Readings • Neuromyths • For Computer Scientists • Classroom Tips. Enjoy!

Ever wanted to create custom data sets by just drawing them? The drawdata Python library lets you do just that directly in Jupyter, VSCode, and Colab. It offers intuitive widgets for drawing scatter plots and bar charts, making it perfect for teaching machine learning, testing algorithms, or quickly experimenting with data.

✔️ User-Friendly: Allows you to draw data points with a mouse or touchpad directly in notebooks.
✔️ Supports Multiple Formats: Exports data as pandas or polars DataFrames and as X, y format for scikit-learn models.
✔️ Seamless Integration: Built with anywidget for compatibility with Jupyter, VSCode, and Colab.
✔️ Ideal for Teaching: Helps explain concepts like clustering or classification interactively.

The animation below demonstrates how drawdata can be used to create custom data sets interactively. The animation is sourced from the library website: https://t.co/RSlOawoBKn

having SO much fun making interactive visuals for my new math for ML course.!

the hope is to teach linear algebra from scratch, with some multivariable calc and probability tossed in along the way, in the context of ML

if you're curious, follow along at https://t.co/zMRsBTNdv8

@KoreaPistonsFan Kitab Cafe, James Oliver (few locations), Dessert Oasis, Madcap, and Cannelle (get the almond croissant!)

all within walking distance of LCA, if you're willing to walk!
