  • STEM needs more role models

    ,

    STEM could use more diverse voices, and I’ve found stories of people breaking barriers and inspiring change:

    • Dr. Jessica Esquivel – A physicist and co-founder of Oyanova Enterprises, she’s reshaping STEAM education by focusing on culture and community.
    • Markemia Peterson – An Enterprise Technical Specialist Consultant at Microsoft, proving you can bring your full self to STEM and succeed.
    • Jocelyn Mata – A geophysics and computer science student aiming to work for NASA.

    STEM isn’t just for one type of person, it’s for anyone willing to take up space and make a difference. These stories are proof.

  • Tech for Good?

    Friday Morning Hope:
    See more products that put us back in touch with ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Thanks Humane team, for being persistent and rethinking Human-Computer Interaction.

    Friday Evening Pessimism:
    I don’t think their first product (ai pin*) will take off. 🙁

    *In Brazil, Aipim means Cassava Root. I used to plant on my front yard, I miss that.

  • Experiments by Linus Lee

    ,

    I’ve just found one more amazing AI experiment created by Linus Lee. Costructure is a pair of interface experiments that explore ways to enable nonlinear reading, where we read a document by first scanning for key ideas, then dive deeper on the more interesting sections.

  • Is my brain LLM-based?

    , ,

    When I’m asked to check a box to confirm I’m not a robot, I don’t give it a second thought, of course I’m not a robot.

    On the other hand, when my keyboard guesses the next word I’m about to text, I start to doubt myself.

    Just thinking out loud about building something to help me typing with more confidence and sound natural.
