A young Black girl in a white blouse and red jumper dress walks down concrete steps while being escorted by four U.S. federal marshals in dark suits. The marshals surround her protectively as they descend the steps of what appears to be a school building. This iconic photograph captures Ruby Bridges being escorted to school during the integration of New Orleans schools in 1960.

Happy birthday to Ruby Bridges, who is the reason I was even able to pursue proper, fair higher education. What she had to endure as the first Black child to integrate schools was unimaginable. I will forever be grateful. ♥️

Nature is a *system*.

Can Designers Avoid Meetings? LLMs are not the first tool to promise that they can free us from having to talk to people so we can "focus on the work." But talking to people IS the work.

Techies are always chasing the mythical tool that will let them "focus on the work" and avoid tedious distractions like "talking to people."

Scale is a major major way that OpenAI, Cohere and other generative ai companies get training data, and they're otherwise running (or have run) out. Who can even step up? Is there anyone? Is this basically Zuckerberg buying the fuel behind model training? Very funny move if so

👏 Marilyn Raphael, professor of geography and former IoES director, has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences—one of the highest honors a scientist can receive. She and 3 other UCLA faculty join a community of elite scholars and Nobel laureates.
