This weekend has been so incredibly disheartening and depressing. And I'm cis. I cannot fathom the depths of the sadness and feeling of loss and abandonment those in the trans community must be dealing with. My heart goes out to you. I love you all. You all matter. You deserve to live.

It’s shocking but Erin might be underselling how vicious Acton’s people were to trans people who voiced concerns. However bad you might think it was; I guarantee it was worse.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 2d ago

Trans people tried this in Ohio and Amy Acton didn’t show up and her goons threatened the progressive and Pride caucuses while also shutting trans people out in the meetings her campaign did have (that she didn’t even show up to). If Talarico ever wants to talk I’d be more than glad to.

yeah putting asside trans rights in particular, voters generally have a distaste for this kind of thing because it's worm behavior. stand on business

i don't believe talarico is a bigot. im pretty sure he isnt. but if he apparently "has to" answer bad faith questions in a way that appears to compromise on the rights of one group of people being repressed to get elected, it's fair to ask what else he will "have to" do once he's in office

Even stronger: there is at present no reason to believe "AI" can even functionally approach anything close to human-level cognition before the sun dies out. Can it fool us? Yes! But it isn't anything other than a bunch of scams in a trechcoat

This brought up incredibly painful memories. I was a brown child in rural America. The vitriol and hatred directed towards me by adults was. Formative. And to see that this is genuinely how a senator remembers that. Just. Further reminds me the this will never be my America. It was never meant to.

Senator Elissa Slotkin@slotkin.senate.gov · 3d ago

But that feeling of a shared bond among all Americans in the early weeks after the attack is something I’m so glad I got to experience. Because it’s the thing that I think we’re missing the most today.

I have a degree in cs and I was in grad school against my will for a year (long story), and I'm a little embarrassed to say that this is the first time I've ever heard of fpt. I did some reading and learned something new. This kind of thing is why I haven't given up completely on social media.

Proving a function ψ_T is tractable, be it P or FPT, is conceptually straightforward: provide at least 1 algorithm for ψ_T that runs in polynomial time or fpt-time, respectively. Proving intractability instead is harder. It is often done with a technique called “reduction”. 8/🧵

Fig. 6. Illustration of the concept of polynomial-time reduction. The functions G and H together constitute a reduction from ψ1 to ψ2 if, and only if, ψ1(i1)= H(ψ2(G(i1))). In that case, the function ψ1(i1) can be computed by first computing i2 = G(i1), then computing o2 = ψ2(i2), and finally computing H(o2)= ψ1(i1). The reduction is a polynomial-time reduction if and only if G and H are polynomial-time computable. In that case, ψ1 is polynomial-time computable if ψ2 is polynomial-time computable.

My favorite part about this is the weird belief that kids in "normal school" aren't highly motivated. Like my man there's kids in public school who'd run circles around you motivated by nothing but a type A personality and fear of failure. No additional subscription fe- erm, tuition required.

UPDATE #3: Another student has commented on Twitter about my story, which they have read. I find their comments quite illuminating.

Lauren Starkey@laurenhstarkey.bsky.social · 6d ago

Men will send me emails like this and then go rampaging on the streets of Dover and Portsmouth claiming they want to keep refugees out in order to “PROTECT OUR WOMEN!” Not a single one of the young male refugees I’ve worked with has ever spoken to me with such violent misogyny.

I tried finding some distributed systems podcasts and many of them were just slop from the slop factory using a distributed systems book as a source. They would often call for VERY incorrect solutions. Which I only knew due to experience. Like they were "this interview is over" wrong.

If your magic "tool" is going to be this wrong why on earth use it? I don't get it? If its going to get the materials this wrong, why am I FUCKING WASTING MY TIME WITH IT

I recently used AI to dig through thousands of pages of notes and source material I had gathered more than 15 years ago, for a book on the history of the historical professions. While thinking about a new project on the ways historians adopted new technologies into their work in the past, I used it to scan my sources and it surfaced material I had completely forgotten about and accurately pointed out patterns — such as similarities in attitudes and language in sources written decades apart — that I had missed. Conversely, in that same scan of my source materials, I found the AI drew false inferences from historical documents because it failed to grasp irony and thus inverted the actual point of the author. In other cases, it failed to extract the most interesting material from documents because it was unable to “read against the grain” and capture critical hidden meanings. In each instance, I could recognize these problems only because I’ve spent years working with this material. All of this raises important questions about how to help students develop similar knowledge, experience, and disciplinary judgment, even when this new tool seems, to an untrained eye, to make those things unnecessary.
