@mayintoronto @grimalkina (I guess I shouldn't say it happened "a lot," but there were enough occurrences that I often pondered on them.)
@mayintoronto @grimalkina I'm fascinated by this, because that interaction (teacher essentially telling me to RTFM) happened to me a lot in the past, and I chalked it up to some nuance of English that was simply too complicated for my understanding. Perhaps I grew up in a bubble. Perhaps there's life I'd never understand cuz I'm an immigrant. It never occurred to me that gender might have been a factor in it.
Video about baseline US protest attire for 2026, just in case. Stay safe out there:

Christine Lemmer-WebberIt's demotivating to think that:
- LLMs aren't good at producing original / novel work
- You still need experts to advance that stuff
- It will always be slower to move without using LLMs
- Once an innovation is done though, an innovation can always be scooped up by the LLM users
- "Bro why are you doing all this manually, I just vibe coded that in a weekend"
Will it always be this way? It's depressing in the meanwhile, at least.

"You're the head of HHS! You are supposed to be some sort of an authority on health! Why are you showing us how to work out suboptimally?" is the just the most NPR thing to say. 😂😂 #nprpoliticspodcast
If there's a takeaway for me from the past 12 months, it's that community matters, and relationships and networking matters. Even if you're not a self-promotion kinda person, finding and building community makes it easier to protect everything worth protecting.
Pretty interesting behind-the-scenes description of the pushback against the ideology of anti-vaccine. "Amid the dysfunction, a broad, determined coalition refuses to let ideology win. The courage, teamwork, and clear voices proved that the scientific community and the public are not powerless. They can still protect children’s health when institutions fail.
