@airindia thanks, i guess the latest advisory changes this date till 15th may

[Akshit Arora @_AkshitArora]

@airindia @airindia has this information been shared with @lufthansa?
I am going from SFO to ATQ departing tomorrow (with Delhi to Amritsar part operated by @airindia) and @Lufthansa_USA just told me on the call that this air india flight is still showing “scheduled” causing confusion!

It has been more than 6 months I moved my primary residence from Bangalore to London (Blr has taken Delhi's place as my second residence).

Most of the last few months of last year, I was talking to a bunch of tech/product startups here, figuring out the ecosystem.

A thread 🧵

[Marc Benioff @Benioff]

Rarely am I so captivated and inspired by a CEO’s keynote that it holds my attention for two hours, but Jensen Huang’s indefatigable energy (at 61 years old!) makes him one of the most inspiring and visionary leaders among tenured and authentic CEOs. His ability to innovate while delivering amazing products I genuinely want to buy is remarkable—a true masterclass in running a great tech company. I was particularly struck by his framing of AI’s evolution: from perception to generative, to agentic, and ultimately to physical. Truly inspiring! I highly recommend watching this to understand our immediate future: https://t.co/AUdeWFfoVR

We did it! We tested 300 Bay Area foods for plastic chemicals. We found some interesting surprises.

Top 5 findings in our test results:

1. Our tests found plastic chemicals in 86% of all foods, with phthalates in 73% of the tested products and bisphenols in 22%. It's everywhere.

2. We detected phthalates in most baby foods and prenatal vitamins.

3. Hot foods which spend 45 minutes in takeout containers have 34% higher levels of plastic chemicals than the same dishes tested directly from the restaurant.

4. The 1950s Army rations we tested contained surprisingly high levels of plastic chemicals.

5. Almost every single one of the foods we tested are within both US FDA and EU EFSA regulations.

Check out our full results below.

I’ll be at #EMNLP2024 to talk about paper on tropes in LLMs. 🔗: https://t.co/JMLGZm45Gi

I’m looking for:
1. 👩‍💻 Internships in (but not limited to) AI + Safety, Bias, Generative models, multimodal learning.

2. 🤝 Research collaborations in cultures, multimodal models, disparities in image-language generation, bias and narratives. We have excellent people at @DIKU_Institut @AiCentreDK at these intersections.

DMs open!

We also recently published a survey on cultures across modalities (LLM, VLM, Social Science etc.) and happy to discuss our findings: 🔗 https://t.co/Md8zLoy7k6

Even if you are not hiring/looking-for-collabotation, RTs will be really appreciated 🙏

I think about this all the time

And how it can take the right community to try to lift you up into the top 10% of the possible life paths from where you are now

10,000 conversations with a 100 people could eliminate most of the bad paths and lead you towards the good ones

Claude redefines how children learn.

With just one prompt, you can dynamically simulate the physics of a double pendulum!

At Coursera, having interactive visualizations for every topic was thought to be a pipe dream. Who had time to write it?

Now, you can just ask for one.

@ieeeICASSP thanks!
