A key step to getting a job is the first interview. But what if AI could make this first interview cheaper and more accessible to recruiters?

Anyone have any experience using Windows Subsystem for Linux? Seems quite amazing, but I'm still trying to figure out what I can do with it. Any use cases? (sourcing scripts from Python seems to be a good one already).

It's such fake news that Python "has a shorter learning curve" than R. IMO R is much more polished and Python is way more hacky. But Python is integration king. So.. here we are.

Gotta say, using AI to translate my R knowledge into Python knowledge is proving quite fun/helpful

President Sheinbaum rightly highlights the role of US guns in fueling cartel violence. I mapped the thousands of gun dealers along the border states—nearly 9K. If the US is serious about fighting cartels, it must confront its own arms industry. #USMexico www.datawrapper.de/_/XlHLl/

A Chinese company's innovation led to a dip in the stock market days after Trump assumed the presidency. I'm sure that's the last we'll hear about that.

Open AI is now really salty about another company copying them. Ironic huh?

So proud of my birth state, but also still can't believe that Kansas is a bastion of abortion protection:

Kansas documented a record-high number of abortions in 2023. The largest segment of patients were Texans.

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image.

All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

When your adversary is making a mistake, don't interrupt them. Democrats should oppose strategically.

Bad policy that will erode democracy? Oppose

Bad policy that will be unpopular and will provoke backlash? Let it through

"Guardrails" unwittingly "sanewash" the unpopular Republican agenda.

Sure Republicans, trust this guy for your legislative strategy. It'll go great. His track record on elections is stellar. Remember this:

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.”

The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

I bet Nicolas Maduro is not sleeping very well after what happened to Assad.
December 11, 2024 at 5:38 PM
Honestly US. Look south and you'll see that democracy is resilient to corruption.
this is exactly why I have so little patience with people in the U.S. rolling over and admitting defeat before Trump has even retaken office
One of the biggest lessons from Syria is that, just a month ago, almost no one could have predicted the Assad regime would fall today. The "realities on the ground" crowd would have denied such a possibility. A reminder of why people in Ukraine fight rather than surrender.
