The algorithm verifies me, and I am greeted by a room full of blank rectangles with names.
"Alright, everyone turn your webcams on and validate your iris scans so I can take attendance"
The university has begun requiring iris-scan-verified attendance metrics before teaching salaries are disbursed.
2030:
I open Zoom to teach my next class, which is fully remote due to the ongoing hyper-measles epidemic.
I wait for Zoom to scan my iris and check it against Palantir's database. The OpenAI algorithm then works to determine whether I am a real human or not.

Want to simulate large nonconfluent tissues? Try the finite Voronoi model! 1) @wwang721.bsky.social and I show past implementations need a correction to avoid issues, and 2) we provide a new fast code that we'd like people to try! Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2604.15481 code: github.com/wwang721/pyafv
We show that - in mammalian cells and in vivo -
saturated lipids in the #endoplasmic reticulum can demix into stable, micrometer-scale #solid-like domains.
The resulting long-range orientational order in the membrane gives rise to cell-spanning, rigid tubular structures, we term #rods /2
The nonprofit that runs the successful, Pulitzer-winning Baltimore Banner is going to take over the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Of all the possible outcomes here, this is likely the best we could have hoped for.

F-tier opinion
Allman-style curly brace placement is the only sane standard and it is absolutely bonkers to me that there are people who dislike it.
Today in compiler outputs:
error: use of ‘auto’ in parameter declaration only available with ‘-std=c++14’ or ‘-std=gnu++14’
Okay, I'll change the standard to c++14
warning: use of ‘auto’ in parameter declaration only available with ‘-std=c++20’ or ‘-fconcepts’
Will it say c++23 next?
Students were told for a decade about how incredibly important free speech on campus was. And then it wasn't. What lessons did we teach students over the last year? If you are a student today, do you feel confident that the government, media and university will support your speech rights?
🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning..
We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance.
And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use!

This is quite an interesting thread. Truly the blind leading the blind.
I had to double check that this wasn't an April fools post
A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans:
1940: 81%
1950: 84%
1960: 91%
1970: 72%
1980: 70%
1990: 28%
2000: 40%
2010: 35%
For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.
This works regardless of where you are or your current situation

Whiteboards suck, because board markers are such duplicitous jerks. I never looked at a piece of chalk and wondered, gee, I hope there’s chalk left in it.
When I bought my laptop, the Apple M chips were still pretty new and getting precompiled libraries could be an issue. That problem is pretty much gone now, though. I've also just never been a big fan of Apple products, but that's more just personal taste.
I have an academic publishing joke but you have to review these 3 articles for free, pay $4,000 in open access fees, sign in through your library proxy, and sacrifice a goat to get through the paywall to hear more than the first 150 words
