It seemed like companies have stopped posting outage post mortems. It also seems like this happened along with the rise of AI. Draw conclusions as you will.

Now I finally understand the Monty hall problem
"[T]iming could hardly be worse. It seems obvious that in a world where geopolitical, environmental & technological change is reshaping our lives we need these subjects to help us understand what's happening & how we might move forward... We need to understand history, culture, languages & theology"

some amazing things happening over on threads — ever since they “shut down CERN”
Personally, I think xenophobia should mean “fear of calculus”
Always the traumatized, never the trauma.

If Sheldon Whitehouse was elected president, we’d have the joy of hearing about “the Whitehouse Whitehouse”
Apparently today is Raise Your Hand If You'd Be Dead Without Antidepressants Day. ✋🏻

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them
A year ago, I thought LLMs were kind of neat but not that useful. I saw the code autocomplete and thought, meh. Last summer just flipped. I never ever thought I would see automated code generation like we see now. I know there’s baggage but you need to know the coders are being real about this
It just hit me: the Iliad and Odyssey are absolutely superhero stories of different genres and a different era. It is just so obvious, I can’t believe it took me so long to realize it.
Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground
Who called it “old faithful“ and not “geezer geiser“
