One of the useful functions of religion is to remind people that ordinary human beings cannot establish perfect justice and will always have some measure of injustice going on. But we have some religious denominations that don't bother to talk about this anymore.

Retrofit A-10 wart hogs with FPV controls and watch the fun ensue. All the fortifications in the Donbas and Zaporizhia getting BRAAAAPED would take care of things nicely.

I would think a well staffed agile team would be able to lean on the QA members to add properties while the developers write the code. Then let the LLM try to write the proofs. Properties left unproven then get turned into runtime tests.

You don't really know if it will be brutal or if it will be even more brutal, but if you don't have Plan B, then it's sketchy to even allow you to continue with Plan A.

If academia isn't expanding, your advisor can expect statistically just one of his advisees to make it to a tenured spot. Academia stopped expanding before Trump but continued to dangle false promises to grad students.

Grad students should be required to file a non-academic career plan, and keep it plausible and updated, as a condition of enrollment.

I know an adjunct who likes it. Thing is, he's an old school adjunct. The kind that get invited to do this because their day job is cool, but because the school is trying to cut corners on education.

I lost my patience with Limbaugh in 2002, but left no documentation of this, so I guess the struggle session is still scheduled for next week. Wish me luck.

Another thing is that we can't say "if you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen" any more. You CAN'T get out of the kitchen. The GOP will pull you in if you need a scapegoat. Fauci. Trans people. Haitians. Doesn't matter. You are fair game no matter how little involved you are in politics.

One of the worst things about the Senate’s attempted Fauci show trial is how the supposed evidence against him is early in COVID he considered multiple hypotheses, then increasingly ruled some unlikely as evidence came in. The objection is he did science. Fundamentally that is what’s under attack.

Your schools didn't need to overcome anything in your home. It's true that gold plated school facilities aren't what's needed, but a decent student teacher ratio and teachers who are paid enough to be in the middle class is a combo that can overcome quite a lot.

And yet, when the radiator is a human being, and the blanket is a mylar blanket, the blanket warms the human being by bouncing back infrared radiation. As does CO2. Shown experimentally over 150 years ago.
