I hope kids don't pay attention to these morons and still pursue at least an undergraduate degree. Morons like the one gesturing his dick size in the picture below would like nothing better than a population that can't think or decide anything.

I am trying to use this old idea that Knuth came up with, called Literate Programming to see if wet coders can make sense of what the idiot savant coders produce at the drop of a hat.

Trump would have been able to bring the hostilities in Ukraine to a minimum by now. Instead he goes to war with Iran and ends up begging Putin for some diesel. He is still going to get his arse handed to him in November.

There's a ton of attention on AI models and mathematics. If you're looking for an account of humans vying with advanced maths, absolutely go read Cédric Villani's book "Birth of a Theorem", which details his grappling with a problem that ultimately won him the Fields medal. It's so, so good.

No US public execution since 1936 (Rainey Bethea, Owensboro KY). No federal one has EVER been public — until now: Hegseth says the Pentagon will livestream Nidal Hasan's execution by firing squad, Dec 3, in Texas.

While Deisseroth’s optogenetics provides the literal, empirical tools to manipulate the brain’s physical circuits and test the boundaries of conscious experience, Penrose’s framework challenges scientists to look beyond classical wiring to find the fundamental nature of the mind.

“Zionism is racism” is not a policy but a slogan. It compresses a complex history, going back millennia, and a very wide set of beliefs into one narrow meaning. The answer to genocide is not discrimination. We don't fight racism with racism. I’m gutted to see this motion adopted by the Green Party.
