I have come to the conclusion that @gradybooch.bsky.social is to Computer Science what George Carlin was to stand up/social commentary.

Do you have an idle cluster? Can you spare a couple core-years?
Help me bruteforce some test vectors for RSA key generation edge cases!
Here are the instructions, it's just a matter of running a single self-contained cross-compilable Go binary that will report the results autonomously.

Holy. Shit.
A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

TIL the gish gallop.
It sometimes feels we're in a gish gallop (thank you en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenie...) against people much worse than creationists (who are already annoying AF) because they really have caused statistics to somehow be seen as omnipotent to the point where it is allowed to destroy people and planet.
But either way, the claims of AI being some amazing way to find "cures" are unscientific and damaging to our ability to discuss medical research. Modern AI is statistics and statistics just doesn't work that way (it cannot find cures); neither does clinical or any research (it cannot be automated).
