Where did the notion of an "infinitely patient" AI tutor being a good thing come from? Sal Khan uses this. I've seen Marc Andreessen use it. It makes no sense. Some of the most important moments in my learning life was a teacher losing patience with me.
“viewpoint diversity” is a right-wing political project, as lisa siraganian explores in great detail here: www.aaup.org/academe/issu...
i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

Trump truth social post: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.
When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?
Hey look at my alma mater!
Mary Washington wins the NCAA D3 men's basketball national title!
This is so, so well-articulated.
learning that astronauts have to use microsoft outlook in space is unspeakably depressing. we have set microsoft outlook free from the bounds of earth. polluting the stars with that janky piece of shit
One thing that amazes me is that two of the three American astronauts on board Artemis II graduated from public universities: Christina Koch earned three degrees from NC State, and Victor Glover was a defensive back on the Cal Poly football team.
We are not going anywhere without public education.
let’s get shaq and chuck on the next shuttle
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. So if somebody got their PhD in their 40s do they just start out as mid-career?

“If you’re gay or transgender, I love you. And if anybody gives you shit, tell ‘em Charles said fuck you.”
we should be requiring them to take statistics.
CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao
This is a Final Destination death sequence
The incidents in Austin raise questions about how self-driving cars “learn” and adapt to their surroundings. www.wired.com/story/a-scho...
The situation (as far as I understand it) seems to be that OMB has approved the apportionment (unlike with NIH). See: openomb.org/file/11505250
So the money may even have landed at NSF... but it can't/won't be distributed down to the program level until a spending plan is approved by OMB.
The only trustworthy sources are 10,000 word chain e-mails about how all the world’s ocean basins are actually giant impact craters
