We’ve never had such clear-cut cases of oligarchs to use in teaching political philosophy as these specimens
The three richest men in the world are all genuflecting before Trump.

All to curry favor so they can maintain their control over our political and economic systems — and to avoid accountability for their abuses of power.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

I enjoyed so much Blue sky paper that it left me wanting more stuff to read.

Thank you Santa :)
Rather than trying to do advent of code, I'm doing advent of papers!

Hopefully I can read and share some of weirder computer related papers.

First paper is Elephant 2000 by John McCarthy. Did you know he didn't just make lisp? Wonderful paper, worth a read.

Another interesting finding, from the deepdive:

“Recruiters are leaning more on pedigree in terms of experience at a high-value brand, well-known schools, and professional background.

Candidates are using GenAI to bulk apply, and recruiters are overwhelmed with resumes."
Today's deepdive: How GenAI tools are reshaping software engineering recruitment.

An interesting find: cover letters are practically dead (90%+ of them are AI-generated, according to hiring managers we spoke to.)

The only way I have found to limit my big box purchases is to tell myself I had three shelves. And then no more. I think this time I am done.
