In January, @jonhoo, @jjgort, and I returned to @MIT_CSAIL to teach Missing Semester, a class on topics missing from most CS programs—tools and techniques that everyone should know, like Bash, Git, CI/CD, and AI tools. Today, we’re releasing the course for free online!

@rauchg @v0 do you plan on supporting code generation in Angular? If so, how far is it on your roadmap? We have a large codebase in Angular and switching to React/Next is not an option.

[Matei Popp @buiestru]

@v0 noticed you don't support Angular. Any plans on adding Angular code generation capabilities?

Great research on open-source by @Harvard:
- $4.15B invested in open-source generates $8.8T of value for companies (aka $1 invested in open-source = $2,000 of value created)
- Companies would need to spend 3.5 times more on software than they currently do if OSS did not exist

I suspect that these numbers and impact are even greater for AI than for software (would be great to study!)

How do dominant platforms use their #algorithms to shape markets & extract #rents from suppliers & users?

With applications to emerging #AI systems, here are key findings from 3 new papers & 2 years of research with @timoreilly, @MazzucatoM (PI), & @RufusRock2 at @IIPP_UCL 🧵1/

Fellow film tech nerds, if you can't get enough of the ol' Vitrum Cepa this holiday season, settle in for a LONG #NerdyFilmTechStuff post on the lighting rigs we built for the heightened, theatrical, impressionistic lighthouse effect in @RianJohnson's #GlassOnion.

I spent some time talking to the little heroes of Ukraine’s rail system — the brave drivers and staff moving refugees, the wounded and essential supplies.

If you’re hoping that Western sanctions will topple the regime in Russia, here is a thread on why they won’t. 1/n

In 48 hours, 61,406 nights have been booked in Ukraine. That's $1.9M going to Hosts in need

Such a cool idea from our community. Thank you

If you have less than 3 hours to spare & want to learn (almost) everything about state-of-the-art explainable ML, this thread is for you! Below, I am sharing info about 4 of our recent tutorials on explainability presented at NeurIPS, AAAI, FAccT, and CHIL conferences. [1/n]

Seeing Geta Brătescu https://t.co/vImRtsYXaS, a veteran underground artist in communist Romania, commemorated in a Google Doodle is surprising and inspiring. https://t.co/Dbx8KpbKsi

What would you bet that your hypothesis is correct? Still love Hias’s simple drawing of how @jboogie and I bastardized @giffco’s truth curve.

Ok #Product twitter: Why do we have product roadmaps?

Upgraded to the new and improved flotsam barn door standing desk and I have to say it's way better. For one, you can use the board AND have a desk; it looks better and has an embedded memento mori 💀

[Matei Popp @buiestru]

Does this temporary covid-19 #wfh setup deserve to be promoted to full-time? It certainly has something going on with its name: stand up paddle board as standing desk base 🤨

[Matei Popp @buiestru]

@SpotifyCares Indeed it finally works 👍
