switching to a lottery system doesn't happen in isolation. it also comes with lifting the enormous burden of gamesmanship that is now required. a move toward a system more like canada's would be a net positive.

Happy to report that Jurassic World Rebirth is really good. In the words of Alan Grant (JP3, which is lore), "what John Hammond and InGen did... is create genetically engineered theme park monsters. Nothing more and nothing less." Still holds. Best since 1+2. Possibly 1. Go.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

This definition is functionally identical to knowledge stored in a human brain. I think it's not so clear-cut, since we don't fully understand how LLMs work.

Never in a million years did I think I’d be having regular conversations with my peers (most of them are other PRFB postdocs) about what we plan to do with our lives if we can’t be scientists anymore, i.e., if all the jobs continue disappearing. It’s all very bleak as an ECR right now.

This just keeps getting more upside down.

Steve Bannon says he’s advising Trump to cancel all of Elon’s federal contracts and launch multiple investigations into the world’s richest man.
