Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

❤️ Very excited & thrilled, also see the irony of sending in a woman to clean up the messes previous primates have ignored, allowed to continue.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

The original meme for reference. Also, you can claim it for yourself by calling 高信 Real Estate at this number, I suppose. Anyone want to pay me to open a Michaelsoft Binbows memorial museum/shrine?

It is I, Blake. Creator of TwoCans, some programming languages, and a webcomic that I used to update. What was it called? Something about Lists. Maybe I taught you computer science at some point.
As you can see I haven't started posting actively yet, but if that all sounds accurate, give a follow.
