It's that time of the year again folks. Start checking the prices of things you're looking to buy during the Black Friday madness. Don't believe those 40% discounts until you've compared them to your data

At least as true as the famous Carl Sagan quote "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" is that " extraordinary harm and mistreatment require extraordinary justification".Puts into perspective how complicit we've been in the torture and abuse of animals we consume

ICYDK, @Gradio is a very neat Python SDK to create simple demos around ML models.
In Gradio 2.0, you can wrap any huggingface model into a demo interface in 1 line of code ๐ฅ
Read the tutorial from @abidlabs on our blog here โก๏ธ hf.co/blog/gradio

The best way to have a true conviction for/in something is to be honest with yourself AND, to listen to those who disagree with you.

Turns out "A clickbait title " is all you need! I wonder how true this is outside AI/ML academic papers.
