I’d suggest the genre of profile journalism has some shortcomings

The cover of Fortune Magazine that calls the convicted fraud Sam Bankman-Fried “the next warren buffet” because of his crypto-scam

The cover of Forbes, where Elizabeth Holmes holds a capsule of blood for a cover story extolling her genius, shortly before she was convicted for fraud and sentenced to a long prison sentence.

A glossy photo spread extolling the glamour and taste of Asma al-Assad, weeks before her husband committed multiple war crimes and eventually had to flee to Russia to avoid being hacked apart by an enraged rob.

There is such an opportunity for cunty mantis memes. “You’re going out… wearing THAT?”

A green praying mantis stares directly into the camera (it’s cute, but also looks kind of judgmental)

Found a new favorite bumper sticker today in the wilds of central New York

A grey car with a bumper sticker on it with a yin and yang symbol and text that reads: “THICC DADS WHO VAPE FOR CHRIST”

I stumbled across this photo from 1983-ish, no idea who took it, from Kazakhstan near Baikonur. It is basically the plot to one of my favorite books, “The Day Lasts More Than A Hundred Years” by Chinghiz Aitmatov.

Maybe I’m too qual for this but who is actually going to retain a thing from 840 slides in a 6-class course? I produce half that for a 32-class course. How are students supposed to learn this way?

• Case Study: Econ 730 at Emory
This workflow was developed over 6+ sessions bulling ai
AD course on Causal Panel Data.
The result: 6 complete lectures (140+ slides each), with Beamer + Quarto versions, interactive Plotly charts, TikZ diagrams, and R replication scripts — all managed by the orchestrator and reviewed by a suite of specialized agents across 5 quality dimensions.
While this case study centers on slides, every component - agents, orchestrator, quality gates - works identically for research papers, data analysis, and proposals.

Well, it’s been a month and this creature is kinda not thrilled with a stiff breeze

I just learned about the Hyrox dookie lady and I’m kinda unclear on why anyone allowed that to happen

Applauding the gumption to send this out just a few days after multiple research teams accused OpenAI of stealing their research by surveilling ChatGPT logs. Any researcher who still trusts their data and process to this company deserves whatever comes next. They have demonstrated their ethics.
