Getting a PhD and then working outside academia is dope. My advisees who’ve done that are more or less uniformly happy and feel that they’re using the skills they trained on. (I talked to one today who just landed a great gig). Just wanted to convey that to anyone it might benefit.

After a few hours of work, I succeeded in coding something that would probably have taken an LLM less than a minute. But am I sure it will work correclty this way? No. But do I have a deeper understanding of my own code? Also no. BUT am I proud to have created it from my own reasoning? No

This video of a Ukrainian Yak-52 crew taking down drones with a shotgun is incredible, but the music is deeply, and profoundly inappropriate. There was really only one option. So I've fixed it.

In 2024 The Conversation had 8.3M in revenue and 7.8M in expenses and paid $0 to writers. Is that really ok with you?

when I'm in a good mood it's actually hilarious to me that Elsevier has inadvertently devised a better password manager evasion system than I think I could imagine if I tried

I don't know... (1) People who have pied-a-tierres that they don't live in are either not residents of NYC for tax purposes, or are probably those who could most easily spend a few more days outside the city to avoid income tax; (2) the taxed thing (NYC real estate) is immobile

Also, while a professional web page linking to your published papers is great, you *also need preprints*. Don't make begging Elsevier for a PDF a barrier between readers and your work. Put the preprint *and* the link to the final version.

When you add it all up, the collapse in immigration looks like this: a decline of roughly 50K for illegal (even including the people arrested and not released) and a decline of about 132K for legal. Over 70% of the cut in immigration has come from LEGAL immigration.
