[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

Growing up around calm, secure, confident adults, is one of the biggest advantages you can get in life.

They are calm because they nurtured enough emotional control and understand the right amount of detachment.

They are secure because they went through enough uncomfortable conversations and did the self-reflection.

They are confident because they developed useful talents, took risks that paid off, are living a life that they chose.

Growing up around them naturally gives you direction for the kind of person you should strive to become.

The Obama Presidential Center opens to the general public on Juneteenth after a celebratory dedication in Chicago with dignitaries. The roughly $850 million project covers both the political and personal realms of the nation’s first Black president.

Today we’re introducing Gemma 4 12B — our latest open model that brings advanced agentic reasoning, vision and audio directly to your laptop.

It delivers performance nearing our larger Gemma models with a much smaller total memory footprint, while being small enough to run locally with just 16GB of VRAM. It’s open and accessible for everyone to use under a permissive Apache 2.0 license.

This is all made possible by our new, unified architecture that removes separate multimodal encoders. Here’s how we did it 🧵

@NCBABankKenya Hello. Do you have Pre-Paid Cards, and if so, can I apply online, or I need to physically visit the Bank?

@kiharamk @nothingindia @nothing Check Mitsumi Distribution Socials, they were exhibiting + launching the phones at the GITEX, KICC on Wednesday.

[CapCut @capcutapp]

CapCut is partnering with @GeminiApp .
Soon, users will be able to edit images and videos directly within the Gemini app using CapCut’s advanced creative and editing capabilities.

As creative workflows become more connected and seamless, we believe the future of creation will be more conversational, intuitive, and intelligently integrated across tools and experiences.

This is just the beginning.

Many villages across the UK have repurposed iconic red telephone boxes into tiny community libraries, where you can take a book and leave one for someone else to enjoy too if you want to

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

@dnkariuki I've seen folks secure the grille with reinforced zip ties or clipped wires. I guess this' the reason why. The idea is to now park tightly against a wall, or in front of thorny hedge where possible. 🙂

@Azurihost It's possible to connect them to a live monitoring device (even Smartphone) or AI-ready systems, where it triggers instant alerts for suspicious behavior or when it senses movement / human figure / heat signature.

@DontPanicBut42 Don't you think that will touch on Second-hand cars sale as well? Because, suppose I have an accident with my brand new "KDV 123 X" vehicle from Japan, and the front end + engine is knocked out, everything else is intact. iF I want to sell the doors, bumpers or other accessories?

@lucy_kimuhu Imagine waking up, check tyres, wipe off mist, get in car, drive to work, then lunch, a few errands, and to car wash later; then the washer tells you "kwani grill hakuna?" Where do you start? Cameras help police (and the victim) to piece together exactly what happened.

[Andrew Ng @AndrewYNg]

I'm delighted that @coursera and @udemy have come together as one company to serve learners.

Both Coursera and Udemy were founded with the belief that access to high-quality education changes lives. Over the years, both companies have advanced this goal, creating opportunities for individuals, organizations, and communities around the world.

That role is even more important now, as AI is changing the nature of work and increasing the need for continuous learning. Helping people build job-relevant skills will be critical to how we create a better world.

By combining the strengths of both ‌companies, we can better serve this need. We bring together a broader range of learning content, trusted instructors and educators, and engaging learning experiences. This creates new opportunities to make learning more personalized, more applied, and more accessible at scale.

I’m excited to serve as Chairman of the combined company, working alongside Greg Hart and the leadership team. There is a strong foundation in both organizations, and I look forward to what the teams will build together to expand access opportunity globally.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

You as a single person have more power today than a 20 person company of the past. That's insane. The internet gave you the ability to learn anything. Social media gave you the leverage to reach anyone. AI is giving you the ability to create almost anything. Please don't waste it
