(interesting how some people in the replies take my opinion as a kind of personal attack and immediately jump to defending themselves and BlueSky. Relax. I am not judging you for your BlueSky account. I simply explained why I deleted my BlueSky account after a bit of trying and prefer to be on the Fediverse)

i've been saying this for nearly a decade now: can the Clintons just ride off into the sunset and stay out of the public eye for their remaining years? I lost all respect and trust for Bill when, at age 49, he stuck a cigar into the vagina of his 22 year-old intern. Hillary either lied or was negligently ignorant about the event when she claimed the allegations were false and part of a vast right wing conspiracy. Bill was also credibly accused of assaulting Paula Jones. With the latest revelations about Bill's fraternizing with a convicted child rapist, he needs to go away and take his enabler with him.

Edsger Wybe Dijkstra was a foundational figure in computer science. His pioneering work established the groundwork for several key domains, including algorithm and program design, operating systems, distributed processing, and the formal verification of mathematical arguments. The "E. W. Dijkstra Archive" contains the manuscripts of Edsger W. Dijkstra that everyone in compsci is must read.

There's an old joke: a new barber shop in town appears across the street from the existing one, with a sign in the window reading "$5 haircuts".

A customer walks into the old shop and asks the barber how he plans to compete with such a price.

The barber simply gestures to the sign in his window: "We repair $5 haircuts".

This post is about AI.
