My interests include technology, history, medicine, crafting, meteorology and psychology. Politically, I consider myself a tad left of center and I am religiously agnostic. I am totally blind from birth and was a medical transcriptionist for over 25 years.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know from experience how hard the holiday season can be when you are trying to process, grieve and heal from such a fresh trauma and loss, but please know you are not alone even though it can really feel like it.

On this Thanksgiving day, I am full of gratitude for the people who teach me, accept me, encourage me and develop technologies that open for me a world of possibilities as a blind person that I never imagined could exist.

Can someone explain how putting a rainbow in a classroom is indoctrination but the Ten Commandments isn’t?

Why β€˜open’ AI systems are actually closed, and why this matters - Nature A review of the literature on artificial intelligence systems to examine openness reveals that open AI systems are actually closed, as they are highly dependent on the resources of a few large corpora...

The problem with "open A.I. systems" is that they're not open.

Like many of you, I feel Shocked and traumatized by the election results. But I also think it’s time to get up, brush ourselves off and get beyond just fear and doom talk so that we can start looking for a real path forward. On this Thanksgiving eve, I wonder what if anything gives you hope. οΏΌοΏΌ? οΏΌ

OMG, was wondering how long it would be until MTG was given a position in the Trump administration. Just waiting now for any news about the My Pillow guy.

I wonder how the media landscape will Shake out in the next four years? Do you think there will be total capitulation or will there still be any vestiges of centrist or left-wing media?

In Talking with Trump friends to try to understand them better, the conversation usually leads to the president and the price of eggs. How much influence does the president actually have over the price of eggs and other things, and what can Trump actually do to solve this pesky egg problem?
