I was a guest of William Vincent and Carlton Gibson's #Django Chat podcast, alongside my friend Marlene Mhangami from Microsoft. We chatted about “A.I. in the Real World”, and found a lot of common ground. It was nice to have a hype-free discussion of the algorithms! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fyG...

There is no strict Constitutional amendment against having sex with minors, being blackmailed about it, murdering the person who is blackmailing you, and then altering the videotape of the murder. So it's hard to see why some on the left are so upset with Trump right now. by Jonathan Turley

My 3 year-old was reading the Times when he turned to me, gravely, and asked: "Daddy, why did the senator ask mean questions to the nice plastic surgery lady?" And when I told him "because that lady pledged to liberate LA from socialists," he started crying.

NEW from me: China's CO2 emissions fell ~1.6% in the first quarter and have now been flat or down for more than a year. This is the first time on record that emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand.

Was looking for a remark of Wittgenstein's, about the "…" in a series not being of laziness. Thought maybe Claude'll know. Started well. Gave a quote, with a reference, that was right. Then started making stuff up. It was like reading a late-night, last-minute, undergraduate essay.

The Government should not be balancing the books on the backs of the poor and disabled. On @lbc.co.uk I called for a wealth tax instead. A wealth tax of just 2% on assets over £10 million would raise £24 BILLION per year. Let's tax extreme wealth, not punish the poorest.

With PEP 2026 rejected, how do you remember what year a #Python version will be released? Remember that Python 3 turns everything up to 11 (slight Spinal Tap reference); take 3.N, add 11 to N, and that's the year of initial release. E.g. 3.14 is coming out in 2025 (this year): 14+11 = 25.

Astonishing! And yet ... global electricity generation from fossil fuels continues to increase every single year. It's amazing how a story of ongoing global failure to even *begin* the "energy transition" gets twisted into a narrative of "astonishing" success.
