This is wild - somebody did a deep dive into the real stories behind this famous XKCD: sheets.works/data-viz/hol...

an XKCD comic showing a precariously assembled tower of blocks. much is labelled "all modern digital infrastructure." a thin leg down at the bottom is labelled "A project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003."

GEMPAK was my first inspiration in my met career to dabble in data and computing (beyond my QBasic hurricane tracker). Without GEMPAK, we wouldn’t have MetPy.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I am flabbergasted that we need a whole bunch of (very good) context to justify “Don’t get involved/sleep with students in your department.” Again, I’m not looking for people to be altruistic (though good), serving your own interests works—the phrase “Don’t shit where you eat” exists for a reason

Reposting this with alt text: Near as I can tell, you can't see a home Atlanta Hawks game from section 109 row 1 - the rows in section 109 are lettered not numbered. Not the case for the DC-area UMD Terps, who Catlin Clark put 38 on during the Feb 3 game. Their 109 has numbered rows.

Yes, Mr. President, surely this will bring down the price of food, gas, and housing. Definitely reopen the Strait of Hormuz as well. I feel like there should be a Dem ad about how Americans are struggling, but the President/GOP is worried about the name they call the tech that threatens jobs.

Not absolving him, but I’m absolutely flabbergasted that the entire offseason was spent talking about the need to improve the running game, the entire TE room was replaced, and the best they can do is 7 carries for 10 yards by RBs.

Every time I start to accept AI a little bit I see a story of our bullshit capitalistic society using AI to do something completely distasteful and it makes me run in the complete opposite direction. Between this and clips of sad people with AI relationships/“families”, I hate everything today.

I think this also goes to my personal hangup: as a manager, I don’t want to spend my limited technical time trying to get an autonomous agent to independently accomplish a task on the basis of my communication skills, rather than my programming skills. AI literally means I spend more time managing.
