Our philosophy is simple:
Instead of just learning about AI, people need to start building.
We created a 5 level program, covering beginner to advanced AI architect skills.
Live sessions, TAs and Office hours, a community of learners.
It took off.

@jlinehan9@Toyota Went through this exact same thing last year. One salesman advised me to go online and order it through the website, and then send him the details so he could claim it. Still had to wait ~2 months for them to build and allocate it but way faster than the 8 months they cited.
My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out.
Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc.
Great guy, I'm happy for him.
But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.
What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.
Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.
Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.
Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.
Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.
Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.
Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.
-----------------
When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.
Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.
Today is Good Friday.
But what happened today?
Why is it important?
And why is it called Good?
Constructing a strict hour-by-hour timeline of Good Friday is a bit of a puzzle because the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) use different methods of keeping time. However, by harmonizing these accounts, we can create a chronological flow of the 24 hours leading from the Last Supper to the Burial.
The Late Night (Thursday Night – Friday Early Morning)
• 12:00 AM – 2:00 AM: The Agony in the Garden
After the Last Supper, Jesus retreats to the Garden of Gethsemane. He experiences intense emotional agony while his disciples repeatedly fall asleep.
• 2:00 AM – 3:00 AM: The Betrayal and Arrest
Judas Iscariot arrives with a mob. Jesus is identified with a kiss and arrested. The disciples scatter in fear.
• 3:00 AM – 5:00 AM: Religious Trials Begin
Jesus is taken first to Annas (the former High Priest) and then to Caiaphas (the current High Priest). During this window, Peter denies knowing Jesus three times before the rooster crows.
• 5:00 AM – 6:00 AM: The Sanhedrin’s Verdict
At daybreak, the full Jewish council (the Sanhedrin) officially convenes. They find Jesus guilty of blasphemy and decide he must die, but they lack the legal authority to execute him under Roman law.
The Morning (Friday)
• 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM: First Trial Before Pilate
Jesus is bound and led to Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor. Pilate finds no legal grounds for execution and, upon learning Jesus is a Galilean, sends him to Herod Antipas.
• 7:00 AM – 8:00 AM: Before Herod
Herod questions Jesus and mocks him, dressing him in a "royal" robe. Jesus remains silent. Herod sends him back to Pilate.
• 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM: The Final Sentence
Pilate attempts to release Jesus by offering the crowd a choice between him and Barabbas. The crowd chooses Barabbas. To appease them, Pilate has Jesus scourged and then washes his hands of the matter, sentencing him to crucifixion.
• 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM: The Way of the Cross
Jesus is forced to carry his cross (the patibulum) toward Golgotha. Weak from the scourging, he stumbles, and Simon of Cyrene is pressed into service to carry the cross for him.
The Crucifixion (Friday Midday)
• 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM: The Nailing to the Cross
Jesus is stripped and nailed to the cross between two thieves. He utters the first of his "Seven Last Words," asking for forgiveness for his executioners. Soldiers gamble for his clothing.
• 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM: The Darkness
A supernatural darkness covers the land for three hours. This is the period of Jesus’s greatest physical and spiritual suffering.
• 3:00 PM: The Death of Jesus
Jesus cries out, "It is finished," and gives up his spirit. At this moment, the veil of the Temple is torn in two from top to bottom, and an earthquake occurs.
The Evening (Friday Night)
• 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM: The Pierced Side
To ensure he is dead, a Roman soldier pierces Jesus's side with a spear; blood and water flow out. Joseph of Arimathea goes to Pilate to request the body.
• 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM: The Burial
Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus hastily wrap the body in linen and spices. They place Jesus in a new, hewn-out rock tomb nearby because the Sabbath (which begins at sundown) is approaching.
• 6:00 PM – Midnight: The Silent Sabbath
The stone is rolled across the entrance of the tomb. The disciples go into hiding, and the women observe the location of the tomb, planning to return with more spices once the Sabbath ends.
It is called Good Friday, because although Jesus suffered a horrendous death, His willing sacrfice created a path of reconciliation between man and God. In Old English, "good" historically carried the definition of "holy" or "pious". Therefore, Good Friday is synonymous with "Holy Friday," which is still used in many languages.
Dear @MLB... The Utah market has a total of like 11 combined fans of the Rockies and the Diamondbacks. Please stop considering this state part of the blackout areas for BOTH teams so that we can watch all of the baseball teams we actually do care about.
Thanks, bye.
@TrevMcKendrick Sports highlights. Can hardly justify watching a 3.5 hour football game anymore when the 15-minute YouTube summaries show all of the key plays and more.
As a side note, four Old-Testament-themed songs that did NOT make it into the new batch of hymns:
1. Noah Got Me Good / The Unicorn's Lament
2. Melchizedek Boogie
3. Manna-Eater (Holland-Oaks co-written)
4. Deuteronomy, Deuterono-you
This should be a bigger story. China offered Liu millions of dollars to flip to skating for them because her dad is Chinese. She & her dad said hell no because they believe in democracy in China. Meanwhile Eileen Gu, born & raised here, took millions to flip to compete for China.
