Introducing our V1 Video Model. It's fun, easy, and beautiful. Available at 10$/month, it's the first video model for *everyone* and it's available now.

One of the most exciting new features for our new V7 model is something we call "Draft Mode". Draft mode is half the cost and 10 times the speed and it might be the best way to iterate on ideas ever. Try it with voice, think out loud and let our ideas flow like liquid dreams.

We're now beginning the alpha-test phase of our new V7 image Model. It's our smartest, most beautiful, most coherent model yet. Give it a shot and expect updates every week or two for the next two months.

538's open source API and all the other data we/they freely compiled and shared over the years drove so much important work across the industry. this is going to have pretty severe ripple effects. and it was often work done by 2 or 3 people.

This is such a catastrophic loss not only for election journalism but also as an election data resource — can't even count the number of times I've relied on 538's polling averages, redistricting trackers, etc for my reporting



Sad to hear that FiveThirtyEight is shutting down. A blow to data-driven empiricism in journalism at a time when we need more of it. Beyond the articles and visualizations, 538 was an invaluable source of open data - e.g. their polling averages were an industry standard because…

Reminder - a little under two months until #VISxAI submissions are due! We're excited to see your work. 📊 visxai.io


anyone have links to interesting papers at the intersection of programming languages and LLMs? not interested in e.g. langs that target GPUs, but more like what should traditional programming languages look like now that we have better tools for manipulating text


Great talk from @andy_matuschak on building better learning environments. Especially appreciate the point about "shared canonical artifacts" being important. This so often gets missed when people talk about personalized media - there is a lot of value in having a specific…

I need help: building the next version of this map to visualize the price of health care in underserved communities. Know anyone who wants to help? Send em this/have them DM me. This slide from a talk I gave last year at the Open Visualization Summit hosted by @openjsf

💡 TIL about Compute Pressure API This permits observing compute pressure on things such as: - CPU - GPU - thermals Pressure levels: critical > serious > fair > nominal This just landed in Chrome 125 This could be useful under the hood for Concurrent React? 🤔

quick poll of something i'm curious about - do you enjoy using voice as a method of interacting with technology (Siri, ChatGPT, etc)? are you introverted or extroverted?

@RealtimeDotOrg - quite interesting "news in data stories" site, tracking key numbers across public opinion, environment and er, chess. Then using AI to distill trends into bite-sized stories. Mostly US data. (realtime.org)

overall fare evasion on NYC buses is 45+% according to latest official numbers

I get the impression that so few people are paying for NYC buses (just walking on and sitting down) that the drivers increasingly think it’s just annoying when you try to pay, and delay other getting on.
