New chips expand AI possibilities
And an exploration into the tools that may make the most of it.
We’re back with another edition of Machine Learnings, brought to you by the folks at Heyday.
Heyday is an AI-powered research assistant that helps you retain more of what you learn by resurfacing content you forgot about.
We’re building our team, and we’re looking for curious, ambitious, and empathetic folks to join us. Our web tools can be far superior than they are today, and we believe we’re only scratching the surface. If we build it, everyone benefits.
Today, we’re a team of 5 humans trying to create a better future for the internet. Now we’re looking for a frontend engineer to make that a reality.
Awesome, not awesome.
