Introducing the Parallel Decisions API: the first web-grounded decisions engine.
Decision models like Jev can answer in an instant, but they lack the recency of current news. Now you can get both in a single call.
Decisions API is live today at $0.001 per request.
Try it with 5,000 free requests: platform.parallel.ai/play/de…
Here are some examples we've been experimenting with:
- Fact-check content (@Grok is this true?)
- Refresh stale banking records
- Classify companies and leads with fresh signals
- Backtest trading strategies
- Track competitor e-commerce inventory

Spoke to three people this week who wanted to leave their job / start a company but couldn’t because of visa issues. Such a deadweight loss to society.
最近の Freakonomics にでてた impossible burger （肉を使ってないハンバーガー）を食べてみた。若干塩分が強いことを除けば、「これ肉です」と言われたら気が付かないレベル。普通のハンバーガーより 2~3 ドル高いのがあれだけど、量産化できればいけるのではないか。

ちなみにこの「肉」は impossible food というスタートアップが開発してるんだけど、その理由は「動物が可哀想」とかいうアレな理由ではなくて、「人間の活動の中で食肉生産が最も環境負荷が高い」という主張 / 信念だそうだ。それもホンマかいなという気がするけど。

これなぁ。たぶん「みんなが一斉に労働時間を減らせばみんなハッピーだけど、自社だけが減らすと利益が減る」っていう囚人のジレンマ状態だと思うので、残業代を懲罰的に高くするなどして政府が強制的に改善しないといかんとおもうよ。

I'm really really sorry that my daughter got a racial harassment at her middle school and the school didn't take proper action for it. But I'm very proud of that she is writing an email by herself (with my help) to them to explain her thoughts. Here is the draft (anonymized).
> By contrast Twitter recommends “Who to follow”. (Changing the site language to British English oddly changes this to “Whom to follow”...
Twitter UK folks surely understand English grammar correctly.
