"Lenin urged us not to bow down before the tyranny of the established fact, before conventional opinions about what is possible and what is not. And St. Paul and Aquinas tell us how there is always more to be hoped for than the empirical facts seem to show."

A Georgetown University researcher, who was studying and teaching on a student visa, has been detained by federal immigration authorities amid the Trump administration’s crackdown on student activists whom the government accuses of opposing American foreign policy, according to court papers.
Masked agents arrested Badar Khan Suri, an Indian national and postdoctoral fellow, outside his home in Rosslyn, Virginia, on Monday night, his lawyer said in a lawsuit fighting for his immediate release. The agents identified themselves as being with the Department of Homeland Security and told him the government had revoked his visa, the lawsuit says.

How I’m handling LLMs (Fall 2024 edition) – Dan Hicks
Website description
"How I’m handling LLMs (Fall 2024 edition)"
I approached LLMs in my class this semester very differently from a lot of my humanities colleagues. It took a little time — but I had students do lots of out-of-class writing without major LLM-based misconduct. dhicks.github.io/posts/2024-1... #philsky
