Me: How much rice to fill 16 peppers for dolma?
Google AI: 12 peppers usually take 1 cup of rice. So for 16 peppers, you would need about 3-3.5 cups.
AI bros: AI will wipe out jobs!
Go eat at AI-run restaurants, you MFers!

CHP mayors of Adana, Antalya, and Adıyaman detained by police. I guess they're saving the Bs for tomorrow.

This week, I recorded 4 new #VisualAlgebra YouTube videos on group actions. I heavily use the following concepts:
1. G-sets
2. Action graphs
3. Group switchboards
4. Fixed point tables.
Interested? I'll give you a preview here. Please share!

The most remarkable thing about current protests in Turkey (to me) is that they're led by college students who were born into the Erdoğan regime. They didn't experience his authoritarian power grab first hand. It's their default. Yet they know what's what and they have a voice. Their minds are free.

After 3 years as a rotator at NSF, i became permanent last august (and suddenly on probation despite years of good work). I quit my academic job in January. Today i was unceremoniously fired for “poor performance” (a lie) along with 167 other amazing folks (like Courtney). So unfair & insulting.
I had the privilege of serving as a part-time federal expert for the National Science Foundation, until today.
