We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

1. HRC has launched a more defiant protest tone for Pride this year.
In their campaign announced today, "These Colors Don't Run," one feature went rather viral... the image of an Eagle with progress pride flag colors, painted nails, falsies, and a harness.

They have no respect or interest in science or in truth. They have no problem with inventing problems that don't exist and inventing solutions based on zero evidence. A key aspect of fascism is how we're all expected to believe whatever we're told, regardless of how false it is. AI is a useful tool.
US government report cited non-existent sources, academics say
Authors of several studies cited in the report told news outlets they did not write them and the studies did not exist.

An astronomy professor colleague of mine once relayed trying to explain to his students why it was important that they actually write their class reports themselves. “The point is not to teach ME about neutron stars,” he said.
Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

The response was entirely positive, so let the Nazi Punch of the Day begin. It seems appropriate to start with a classic. This is from Captain America Comics #1. The cover date was March 1941, but from what I've read, it was on the shelves several months earlier.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

The purpose of yesterday was to frighten us to submitting in advance. I have my freedom of speech and I will use it here and everywhere else I exist online to make my voice heard. No oligarch, no president will silence me. So, be prepared for more Latinx books just as soon as my mourning ends, okay?

15 years ago today, the Supreme Court made a ruling called Citizens United that lets politicians get away with using dark money from their wealthy donors.
Billionaire donor oligarchs should not be running America — nobody voted for this.

I’m not sure we need earnest explanations of why ASL interpreters are necessary so much as we need a resounding “fuck you, you socially unacceptable little piece of shit” to anyone questioning or mocking them
