Mrs P is a former public school teacher who serves on the regional school board here. During public comment she's gotten to hear redhats rail against critical thinking; they claim it’s “indoctrination” - if you can believe it. Pub Schools are under attack from every angle here.

A friend who runs a huge (30,000+ person) corp hc plan says ~2% of his folks gen 40% of the plan cost.
On Rx side it’s worse: <1% generate 60% of the cost.
Thats why pools are so critical. How is this guy delivering his speech with a straight face?

whenever someone cracks the ‘new coding model’ it’s going to be a bloodbath. People don’t seem to understand AI solves problems in pretty dumb ways using massive scale. Add on the accuracy problem & it all seems pretty insane. Everyone is so afraid to come in 2nd they’ll race right off a cliff.

Features Amy Cabot (x-Bandables) on rhythm guitar, perc & backing vox, Dave Daignault (The Cuts) on bass, drums, vox & perc and I played e guitar, sang & played engineer. Mixed/mastered by Frank Egan @ sounds easy.

i’ve always worked under the assumption that they are fine with these raids. I stopped shopping there completely as soon as they started. No retailer is going to just throw up their hands at a thing like this. I sincerely hope there is a meaningful backlash.

called out in school for being learning disabled & gifted. Here at an much older age I got a diagnosis that let me understand what’s been going on all these years. I now get to endure folks who think I am being “trendy”.
Ya, that was the plan all along buddy. It’s my ticket to popular & cool...

The scale at which China is graduating engineers has no equal. Meanwhile the US is driving away scientists.
Current AI models are insanely inefficient.
Rather than solve the hard problem, they keep reaching for a bigger hammer.
I don’t see a happy ending here, do you?

I quit tv news years ago bc they wouldn’t stop covering every stupid thing trump said or did.
I gave up on print after the 24 election bc i viewed my formerly trusted sources as complicit.
Very happy that bsky has so many independent journalists who report with integrity & accuracy.
