Got ChatGPT to generate this rather large testcase for the compiler from my compilers' class this semester: gist.github.com/kmicinski/f4.... Pretty surprised by how well ChatGPT did at this task!!

Wow. It’s not often a youtube video stops me in my tracks and leaves me stunned for a few minutes. To be fair, it’s the documentary that the youtube video is about that packs the punch, one I had heard about but thus far not seen – will rectify that asap

Marie Neurath is amazing, and her book on cognitive science for kids is wonderful: Machines which Seem to Think (1954). H/t @irisvanrooij.bsky.social youtu.be/XBWhdcD0r9I for this video about her. Book available for free online: www.fulltable.com/iso/mw.htm

Although I personally am conciliatory towards rather extreme leftist ideas for an American, I do *not* want the left version of whatever is going on right now. i feel i have to clarify this when so many folks‘ reasoning is “well they’d do it to us if they could too.” No, I wouldn’t be deporting you.

I guess we now know why they were pulling all that grant funding for misinformation eh
In another example that the US is doing the same things it accuses its enemies of doing: The Pentagon is planning to use AI-generated propaganda to “influence foreign target audiences” and “suppress dissenting arguments.”
In other words, it’s information warfare.

I’ve studied US drone strikes, I wrote a book called “Drones and Terrorism,” and this Caribbean strike is different.
Lethal fire at a non-threatening target in a non-hostile environment on purpose when other means, such as capture, were easily doable, and without even attempting a legal rationale.

There’s a worrying trend on Twitter where some woman posts something kinda cutesy for attention and instead of a bunch of guys making awkward comments to interact with her you have a bunch of gross incels trying to make her feel like shit.
