Today we're introducing a preview of TutorMoments, a framework that measures whether AI tutors can make one of the hardest calls in teaching: when to step in and help a student, & when to hold back and let them do the heavy thinking. 🧵

Today's meeting tools give you a transcript, but nobody tells you how you did. I'm so excited to announce Work Coach (a new mac meetings app). Work Coach helps you by: - Observing you in meetings (interviews, 1:1s, sales calls, team meetings) - Analyzing how you show up to those meetings - Identifying opportunities to improve - Replaying the exact moments from your meetings where it happened - Role play conversations (intros in an interview, asking for a raise, etc) - Interviewing your coworkers to get feedback that you're not getting I'll put the download link below.

Models are now expert math solvers, and so AI for math education is receiving increasing attention. Our new preprint evaluates 11 VLMs on our QA benchmark, DrawEduMath. We highlight a startling gap: models perform less well on inputs from K-12 students who need more help. 🧵

Silicon Valley Bank is a lender on 10 out of 64 affordable housing projects in construction in Mass., representing more than 500 rental units, @JennDotSmith reports. In Boston, the bank is either a lender or bought equity in seven ongoing housing projects.commonwealthmagazine.org/eco…

My 7yo lost a tooth on Sunday. With everything, the tooth fairy forgot to come. On Monday, we told him the tooth fairy banks with SVB, just like Dada’s business. The tooth fairy also got her money out Monday, and came Monday night. Phew.

Why is Google Calendar so bad at printing a day view? Makes hideous choices about what hours to show.

Good DEI goals start with a diagnosis of the problem. What is the biggest problem you can do the most about? If you diagnose a Black-White literacy gap, your DEI goal might be phonics curriculum. (It's OK for DEI goals to not use the word "equity")
