Amidst all of the AI hype, it's nice to see reminders of Pittsburgh's industrial heritage. Allegheny Valley Railroad on the former B&O tracks in Panther Hollow, between Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh.

EISENHOWER ADVISES U. S. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PREVENTIVE WAR Pittsburgh, Oct. 20-(AP)-Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower says "there is no such thing as a preventive war." Appearing in connection with the Carnegie Institute Founders Day program last night, the Allied military leader of World War II said "war begets conditions that beget further war." Eisenhower, now president of Columbia University, said he has noted recent suggestions, from many quarters that the United States begin a preventive war against Russia to forestall an anticipated Soviet attack. "Although this suggestion is repeatedly made," he said, "none has yet explained how war prevents war. "Possibly my hatred of war blinds me so that I cannot comprehend the arguments they adduce. But, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war." "We must make certain," he said, "that the world understands our desire for peace. Internationally, we can stand on our record and purposes, as again presented by President Truman Tuesday night." To insure a free Europe under the Atlantic pact, more than a token of contribution of arms and men is expected from the U. S. Eisenhower declared, but he added "Each of the Atlantic pact nations must capitalize on its particular capacity for exertion or endurance, with the special emergency job that it will face at the moment of possible aggression. "Our own job is production and the ability to move strong units. and destructive power quickly over great distances."
Huh. Oct. 19, 1950. I had no idea Ike had ever spoken at Carnegie Tech in #Pittsburgh. The speech was carried live on Mutual Radio.
"Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war ... war begets conditions that beget […]

A typical move from a shortsighted and dogmatic guy like #Hegseth: he weakens the military by cutting ties to nearly two dozen top universities and think tanks.

haha. I remember a woman I knew in grad school (white woman) who went to #CarnegieMellon for college, she was a writing major, just took organic chemistry to troll her pre-med (Indian) boyfriend, she had no interest in medicine (went to law school), but still outscored him by a lot 😂

“When humans organize our homes, we don’t have a set of rules in our minds that we follow before rearranging objects,” said Kallol Saha, a #CarnegieMellon master’s student in robotics and a co-lead researcher on SPOT.
“We just look, plan, then act.”

A #CarnegieMellon building that architects get awards for. Sleek and unrelentingly black. Surfaces that only Steve Jobs and Darth Vader could love. It had a terraced pyramid-ish shape. This was 1984.
