There are 3 hard problems in software engineering: naming things, off-by-one errors, cache invalidation, and polymorphic lists.

It's Time to Walk the Walk for Universal Basic Income (UBI) UBI means some pay more tax but most net ahead. Walk the walk now: align monthly giving with your likely net tax and help build the income floor.

With less human workers needed every year that AI does more, it may have to come to this very soon. Some are starting to make it a reality now. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

AI is coming for work. Canadians want security.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

Us: hey, could you put some of those billions of dollars you'll never be able to spend in 50 lifetimes to healing the planet, and creating universal healthcare and basic income?

Walking in two worlds: how an Indigenous computer scientist is using AI to preserve threatened languages Michael Running Wolf leads artificial-intelligence initiatives to revive lost languages and empower Indigenous people.

🧪I used to be the assigning editor of a profiles column, and I've missed those deep dives into people's experiences. It was a treat to speak with Michael Running Wolf, his wife Caroline, and their professional colleagues about their work using AI to revitalize Indigenous languages for @nature.com.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

I like Nd4.

Panican?? Is there a tariff on words from England that we don't know about? #trump #tariffs

Isms are dead. Instead, eliminate the profit motive for all essentials like food, shelter, healthcare and education. Use Mark Cuban's template www.costplusdrugs.com. Then, you still have a free market for all the people's wants but an equitable market for all their needs.

Mark Carney's office *opened 90% of emails* our supporters sent about basic income, written by liberals and non-liberals alike.

Many talked about how it could improve food security. Here are their letters. 🧵

That is why we have to disabuse our fellow Americans about the myth of meritocracy. I fund the non-profit income-movement@bsky.social that is launching a long-range campaign to do just that:

Cheap blood test detects pancreatic cancer before it spreads The deadly cancer is often not found until it has spread to other parts of the body.

Potential game changer test. Prognosis for pancreatic is usually terrible because it is often stage 4 when discovered. 🧪
