There is a child with a rare disease who is currently suffering and struggling to manage his symptoms. Rare as this is, you can directly help him.
Today we are launching the "Rare Disease, Real Kid" Hackathon, and there are $50,000 in prizes from @AnthropicAI and @awscloud.
We (@huggingface & @Sagebio) are helping this child open his genome and clinical data to the community, so that we can find what's caused his disease and what currently-approved drugs could help him.
I doubt I need to motivate this much further or explain how rare it is for a family to share their child's genome and clinical data, but if you're not sure, consider this:
Until very recently, it wasn't feasible for patients like this to get treatment because their disease was so rare that the economics could never justify the investment. Now, as we've seen, people with rare diseases are starting to be able to find the answers themselves (with the help of AI tools, cheaper sequencing, etc). This kid is not able to do that for himself and neither are his parents, so we're asking you for help. Both for this kid and to prove that it's possible for everyone else suffering from a rare disease.
More details in 🧵.

i read somewhere once that ~99% of people online are lurkers who never post
which is interesting, because posting can completely change your experience of the internet, and sometimes your whole life. it has changed my relationships, career, and sense of what is possible, and i’ve watched the same thing happen for many of my friends
these platforms can be antisocial or deeply social depending on how you use them. every post is a small bid for connection
i like thinking of social media less as a place to consume or “build a brand”, and more as a personal web of interest, a place to think out loud and leave little signals for the people looking for the same things you are

The loudest story about AI is a lonely one. One person with an army of chatbots. Other humans are friction.
That gets the future wrong. The best things aren’t built alone.
In a moment of change, we want to remind the world (and ourselves) what Notion stands for:
— Think Together
doing a deep dive on Canadian education institutions
fascinating to see the abundance of pedagogies/opportunities/research/partnerships across the country
including this "Rant-like-Rick" session at Vancouver Island University
I love seeing Red Crow Community College's description of Blackfoot way of knowing and living, and how they adopt that in their research

people talk about Apple fumbling the bag with Apple Health and then point to ChatGPT Health as something that will definitively work
Genuinely curious why people think Apple health didn't succeed? And where they think OpenAI has a significant advantage to avoid those same mistakes
i wish calendly had the option to let you choose a different timezone for different dates wrt availability
ex: for a certain time period I will be in EST, after that I will be in GMT. but I can only seem to have one universal time zone across my whole calendar?
