Must suck being an unemployed software engineer and realizing that Soham Parekh has been hired 79 times in the past 4 years

It's okay for software projects to ignore the demands of screeching extremists, whether they are nazis, communists, or something else. The vast majority of OSS contributors are normal, down-to-earth folks with lives. Focus on attracting and retaining those people instead.

A general post on how I view the broad big picture political situation facing the academy: Why we are *absolutely* and in *reality* as academics almost entirely dependent on the public we serve. They are our patrons. Let's treat them as such. A thread/1

Here's the secret that we don't tell anybody about PhD defenses and other oral examinations: THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A REASON TO PASS YOU So give them one, and you'll be fine. *Assuming that you've done well up to this point.

The new AI in Xcode is really hit or miss. Yesterday it was acing everything - noticing patterns in code, predicting what needs to come next. Today it's hallucinating suggestions and this is worse than the old auto-complete, which was at least syntactically correct.

Scientific American editor-in-chief is an embarrassment to science. Get politics out of science, engineering, STEM education. Science and engineering is about building cool shit, and exploring the mysteries of physics, chemistry, biology, etc.

As predicted, Democrats are all over TV this morning blaming diffferent demographic groups for the loss. No, it's YOUR fault! Democratic leadership is the establishment, which is despised! People didn't vote based on race or gender, they voted on how much they hated your elitism.

I've been thinking lately about physical exercise as a good metaphor for intellectual work. Here, rote memorization is a lot like the slow "zone 2" work to build your aerobic base. It doesn't make you fast on its own, but good luck becoming a fast runner/cyclist/etc without it.
