Is there a public roadmap for Google Colab? Something similar to: roadmap.streamlit.app

In a teaching context it would be great to know what is coming, approximately when, so we can plan. It feels like new features get lobbed over the wall that might a dramatic impact on the classroom experience

Does anyone in the Google Colab community know what "Deploy to Cloud Run" is doing? It suggests a Gradio app, but I can't find any documentation or release notes explaining what/how/why we would use this feature.

I can't emphasize how timely your article is for my students; I just got off a call with a student in our MSBA program. I was able to refer them to your article to help emphasize the importance of domain knowledge and critical thinking/assessment of the AI output (HITL).

You are a rockstar. What an awesome idea for a story. 🎩 tip.

I have secret shopping for years as well. Something sounds fishy. I wonder if your info was leaked during a research study and then reused elsewhere. Related, it blows me away that after doing this for 15 years, I still see examples where there is no email stream launched after and RFI is completed

A golf commercial just suggested that they used β€œAI analytics” for their new product.

In researching jobs that our MSBA graduates tend to consider, one (currently active) post required a certification from AWS that currently does not exist, and I am fairly certain never has.

Are we entering the hiring phase where job postings will ask for 5+ years of vibe coding?

Another week, another situation where the @pgatourus.bsky.social and their broadcast partner @cbssports.bsky.social refusing to use the space available to show the +/- for the player on the day.

How are popovers still a thing? What's worse is that I feel like they are getting increasingly pervasive, with some sites showing 2+ on the same page, one after another.

Garbage UX.

We need to be better. Design better experiences.

Can someone explain why the "always on" leaderboard does not show the +/- for the round during the tv broadcast?

We see the rank, player, tournament total, the hole, and to the right, there is clearly plenty of space to show the player's +/- for the current round.

@koaning.bsky.social Shot in the dark, and to be candid, I am only starting to look at Marimo now that the semester is over.

Is it possible to distribute a notebook/single file for use offline with libraries already installed?

Use case: An exam when a student's computer is in "airplane" mode.

The lottery for the NHL 25 draft is brutal to watch. I rarely use this phrase, but 100% cringe. Yikes.

Anxiety going down as ChatGPT/OpenAI services start to come back online (API Dashboard and web chat).

Obviously there is an issue the day I allocated time to build out the POC.

Notice to all product and UI/X folks that are including text input into an AI product/chatbot.

I beg you. Please allow a user to determine if enter/return is a new line or submit. Return is easy for BASIC flows, but shift+return for more "advanced" needs is absolutely painful.

Sweeney and Neely need to go. This is on them.

I would imagine that Sweeney and Neely are also gone? After today, how can they still be involved? The lack of depth and inability to draft talent can’t be overlooked. Gone are the days where the Bruins are a destination. It’s going to take years to restore this team. Brand equity obliterated.

Nice episode highlighting the capabilities of duckdb in this space. You referred "distributed duckdb" and wanted to point out that the awesome folks at @motherduck.com offer a cloud data warehouse backed by Duckdb. I have no affiliation, just calling out an awesome product.

I was today year's old when I found out about farsante and mimesis for fake data generation. I have used faker a bunch in python, but this caught my eye as it plays nicely with PySpark.

I don't know if this is new, but I have started to notice that ChatpGPT is using emojis in the generated response, including code samples. At least for me, it's emoji overload. Holy moly.
