🚨 Ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati just launched Tinker, a new service from Thinking Machines Lab.

Tinker strips AI training down to 4 simple functions — you focus on data + algorithms, it handles the GPU chaos.

Is this the Kubernetes moment for AI training?

🧼🔬 14-year-old Heman Bekele developed a revolutionary soap that reactivates immune cells to fight skin #cancer, inspired by memories of people working under the harsh Ethiopian #sun.

His #invention costs just $0.50 to produce compared to $40,000 cancer treatments, and he's now working at Johns Hopkins to bring it to underserved communities worldwide.

Another innovation on that album was computer data for cassette interface. At the time there were multiple competing standards, including Tarbell. I wrote about this and data on vinyl before, let me dig up the link

An innovation in infant nutrition

Pablum, the first pre-cooked, vitamin-enriched baby cereal, was a Canadian medical development. Created in the 1930s at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children by a team of three doctors, it revolutionized paediatric nutrition. The easily digestible cereal was fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, helping to reduce nutritional deficiencies like rickets in infants. #Canada#Innovation#History#Medicine

This is an example for another latent dysfunction:

Fewer (public) questions get asked on the internet and so knowledge is not spread, but contained, making it more individualized.

This also creates an even stronger bias towards older content, so people might take the shortcut and use a more established technology, instead of looking into new, less explored, but more innovative solutions.
