Thats not to say there haven't been growing pains. When a great steak comes out of the microwave I get really excited. But more than half the steaks that come out of the microwave get sent back by the customer. To solve this problem I now run ten microwaves in parallel cooking ten steaks. One out of the ten steaks will most likely be good. The number of microwaves has required me to upgrade my restaurant's electrical system and I now have a small nuclear reactor installed in the parking lot.

AI is the new microwave.

It seems to punish researchers instead of doing after the root of the problem, which is for profit publishing.

What, that will never happen given the robust consequences we have for data leaks! (I.e. none)

Make companies pay users $100 each per data leaks and I bet security would improve instantly. As is, spending $500k on “identity protection services” that do nothing after a leak is the cost of business.

As I detailed in WHITE FLIGHT, segregationists in Atlanta absolutely loved public services -- buses and trolleys, parks and pools, golf courses and tennis courts, etc. -- right until they were forced to desegregate and "stolen" from them. They abandoned them and built up private alternatives.

the one thing i genuinely did not anticipate from this administration was its vicious, know nothing hostility to any and everything that might even be adjacent to science and scientific research. they genuinely one to destroy the entirety of the nation’s research capacity. and for what, exactly?

That Nazi piece of shit is running for governor of CA next year, and I think it’s important that he not only loses, but that when he does we ruin the rest of his miserable life.

Trump's Assault on the NPS is Not a Disagreement Over History. It is an Attack on History Itself We need to stop framing this ongoing “review,” ordered by the Trump administration of the National Park Service’s interpretive assets, as a disagreement over history.

We had 3 tests every 2 weeks for 11 weeks straight. It was when we learned pharmacology, Microbiology, and Pathology. There is just a lot of material to cover and not a lot of time to cover it in.

holy shit lmao

Good luck and hang in there! It gets worse (looking at you, year 2 of vet school) but I’ve found that it’s worth it!

If JD Vance were a true Catholic instead of defending Trump he would simply assign him to be President of another country

The federal workers I've spoken with emphasize it isn't just their substantive work that's suffering - basic organizational functions like payroll and IT are breaking down.

This comment from a recent NYT article haunts me. "It was only when he left that we truly realized his value..."

NIH leader fired amid probe of contract used in attempt to hire spouse, officials say NIH chief operating officer Eric Schnabel was fired as officials were looking into whether a $3.3 million contract could have benefited his spouse.

Washington Post story about Eric Schnabel termination is posted.

Sobering stuff as usual from Paul Musgrave, whom I miss being on here. musgrave.substack.com/p/at-the-coa...

"...he’s an incredibly strong leader no one dares cross and a poor, persecuted victim who needs your sympathy. Also, urban populations are scared weaklings who would quickly fold in a civil war, and cities are terrifyingly violent no-go zones where even heavily armed officers face dire threat."

Apparently there was a joke event in Peru where all the jockeys raced each other instead of their horses
