Tien "Waffle Party at the Waffle House" Chih

More than anything else, this is the thing that persuades me that Trump does not plan on leaving in 2028

So in early October I’ll be visiting New Orleans for the first time!

Granted it’ll be for AMS SE so I won’t have that much time.

Anyone else going?

I won’t be there :( but I do want to chat sometime about writing something for games in a liberal arts general audience course!

some trivia for universities trying to strike deals with the administration is that the vice president pretty recently gave a speech called "the university is the enemy"

Can confirm we were all sorts of different folks, bound together by mutual suffering.

What field is it?

I mean if you want to find a normal person, I wouldn't start with Azealia Banks.

Comprehensive presentation of the "Theorem of the Day", starting with a statement of this theorem. The Art-Gallery Theorem : Let P be the subset of the Euclidean plane consisting of an n-vertex simple polygon and its interior. Then P contains a finite subset S, of cardinality at most ⌊n/3⌋, such that every point of P is joined to some point of S by a straight line contained in P.

If you understand how LLMs work, this is unsurprising.

This is also why it is absolutely critical to push back against the Trump Admin's efforts to keep 'woke' out of AI, or whatever they're calling that particular bigotry today - even if you disapprove of AI and are usually "team let them fight."

Understanding how to chop a thing into small things and turn those small things into an integral is a science super power.

This is a very important point. The right talks like they are returning us to a pre-DEI meritocratic utopia. But college admissions have never been meritocratic. I would argue that colleges in the US are more meritocratic now than they have ever been.

i can see this one is going to get a lot of use

Working on something neat.

it's fitting then that MAGA chuds have embraced AI slop; they seem to recognize that the world they want does not exist and cannot exist and so they make do with these virtual facsimiles.

Scientists: some of us PLEADED with you two years ago to support colleagues in the humanities who were being attacked by Rufo et al. Many ignored us. NOW that this has all been used as a pretext to attack you too, recognize:

THIS IS A SCIENTIST'S FIGHT TOO

We must resist these narratives. 🧪🔭⚛️

Job at IUE? If so, congrats!

I've been meaning to ask you some things about compatible TS's, let me know when you're all settled, and good luck!

Who among us hasn’t left a job and had 900 of our former colleagues sign a letter saying we’re unqualified, dishonest assholes?

“Of course it said bigoted shit it read posts on Twitter” as an official explanation is honestly better than anything we can say to make fun of it

Im fortunate enough to generally teach in a room with a projector screen and a whiteboard that it doesn't cover. I can have some slides (usually with activities) or interactive demos going.

If I'm teaching multi, no way am I sketching anything, thats why on the 8th day, God made javascript.

Also thanks to @drew-lewis.com for identifying one of numerous errors (but a key one!)
