If the figures we're getting out of Iran are in the right league, this weekend was, I think, one of the bloodiest state crackdowns of all time. People are talking 12,000-20,000 dead; for comparison Hungary in 1956 was about 2,500, Tiananmen - across country, in multiple cities - probably 1000+

THIS! I am tired of people using LLMs for any task and suggesting that if I used it I would save time… I would not.
suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:
they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

Say what you will about Frank Gehry but he unleashed the architectural imagination of millions. He showed us that Architecture could be daring and dreamy and unbounded. He was a great one

What’s going on????? Everybody I talk to is sick!!! I am not exaggerating. We need to go back to masking and not hugging/kissing to greet people. We need to be more serious with ventilation in closed spaces. We learned nothing!

It is very sad that people outside of the USA barely know about the protests or the people organizing to watch out for ICE in their neighborhoods or literally using their bodies to shield each other. There is a long path of resistance but we see you, we will amplify your voices, we are rooting for u
