Be fair, they need practical skills to work with AI.

Like, knowing how to get past AI summary results and see the actual search results.

In case you missed it, which you probably did because the larger news outlets we’re all used to looking at don’t give this type of thing coverage.

The SAVE Act, Which Could Stop Millions of Women From Voting, Is ‘Dead on Arrival’ in the Senate

That is, according to Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, who compared the SAVE Act to “Jim Crow."

Biden being old made the front page of the NYT so many times. But Trump saying he doesn’t know if he should uphold the constitution was PAGE 13. Still doing whatever they can to support fascism.

I know it’s a small thing amongst (waves hands) but it’s one off those things that makes me irrationally livid: My company HR now requires I log in with Microsoft Edge. Didn’t we settle all this IE shit a couple of decades ago?

I have no doubt this is because the anti-monopolist action of the US government is defunct under (waves hands).

There are three hard problems in distributed systems:

Once the lab is emptied of trainees, if a PI does somehow land a grant, they will have to rebuild the lab's expertise from scratch.

Not so easy without teaching release or the excitement of being a freshly hired PI. I've built a lab twice now. It was much easier to build the lab when I was a freshly hired PI with big ideas and a career ahead of me. It was much harder a few years later.

Shame on you, TULANE UNIVERSITY.

Students peacefully protest the illegal imprisonment of Mahmoud Khalil, a fact that is backed up by the U.S. Supreme Court. But Tulane has declared this activity misconduct and disruptive under their code of conduct. We all know they are only doing this to appease the Convicted-Felon-in-Chief. Tulane is complying in advance, and shitting on their own students to do so.

The fascism is right here, right now.

Seven Tulane students took part in a peaceful protest. Now they face consequences.

The investigations have raised questions about the extent of free speech protections for student activism at private institutions.
