the photographer's composition prompts one to ask: is the bed in the foreground as empty as the one in the background? does a life committed senseless collection of wealth finally render one's physical body a mere illusion of substance, covering what is in truth a void?
photo from the NYT of binance founder changpeng zhao lying down in bed, with a laptop stand holding his macbook over him as he types. in the background is some kind of futuristic, vaguely bed-shaped piece of furniture with knobs, with a panel mounted above it in roughly the analogous place to the macbook over zhao.

the front page of the NYT no longer has the susan collins bribery scandal from tuesday. but it does have *two* stories about how democrats "trail in maine" and "collins leads in maine in our new [!!] poll," only one of which mentions that the polling was conducted before the bribery scandal!

is the decision to put this in the NYT like "wow it's dumb as hell, let's get it out there!" or did some apparently educated person read this and think "hmm an interesting and thought-provoking idea, worthy of being published in our esteemed publication"

Very interesting research paper that shows that using AI with programming can significantly reduce mastery over topics. Perhaps unsurprising, but the lack of significant speed gains in this exercise are remarkable www.anthropic.com/research/AI-...

for nearly all of my students and the kinds of tests i give, i think i could give them unlimited time and their scores would not change at all. if i give a test and time pressure is a significant element determining the scores, i regard that as a mistake

this is a screenshot of what i'm reasonably sure is a genuine email from united airlines. it gives me such bad vibes that if i received it on my work address, i would report it as a phishing attempt and wait for IT to email "good job, you caught the fake phishing attempt!!"

POV: you're eating a saltine
short-haired, shiny black dog with brown eyes, squarely facing and very close to the camera. her eyes are wide open, eyebrows raised so you can see how cute she is. her ears are back. she needs help. from you. she needs the saltine. it is breaking her heart that you're not giving her the saltine. her name is helen.
