Not everybody knows this, and everybody should. On Sept. 26, 1983, a Soviet nuclear warning system alerted Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov that the U.S. had launched a missile attack. He did not retaliate, preventing WWIII. This is a post about AI. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanisl...

Folks are understandably taking @mattyglesias.bsky.social to task for the 'HR training' focus, but I am struck by the inability here to recognize an educational failure. It is *your* (/our) job to explain to those voters that the collapse of democracy *will* have a greater impact on their lives.

I feel like an issue that would connect well with voters would be doing anything at all to slow the current progression toward "absolutely everything now is a scam"

Hierarchy of software assurance techniques (1 being best): 1. Compiler stops it. 2. Compiler warns about it. 3. Linter warns about it <-- Go is often here. 4. Style guide tells you to avoid it.

I should have posted an explanation of this machine then - Notwithstanding the "decset8000" label, this is a PDP-8. The originals were built with discrete components. By the time this one was built they were made with 7400-series logic. 1/12 bsky.app/profile/kenr...

Ok I'm bored and want to procrastinate work so let's do a thread instead. Wanna hear a story? Alright then, story it is. So gather around, children, because now we're going to talk about the most important science book you've probably never heard of. Ready? Off we go, then.

This is so, so well-articulated.
People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.

For people saying the Artemis program is a waste of money that should go to the poor/hungry/sick/uneducated etc. I understand. You've probably seen this cartoon. The man on the right with one cookie is NASA. The man in the middle is the Pentagon with 37 cookies. From whom do you take a cookie?
Cartoon by Denis Lushch showing three men sitting at a table. the one on the left has nothing, the one on the right (wearing a hard har) has a cookie on a plate, and a man in a blue suit in the middle has a plate full of cookies. He says to the worker, ``Careful mate...that foreigner wants your cookie!''

More and more I want the consequences for the billionaires, politicians, appointees, and lackeys who are committing crimes for Trump to be devastatingly financial. Take all their money. ALL OF IT. And garnish their wages forever. Let them live off of whatever UBI gets passed in the next admin.
