I'm with her. An old shirt, but I was wearing this when the news dropped today. @KamalaHarris

Full clip, about a minute and a half longer:

Lynn Conway. She was an icon, absolutely pivotal in how we design semiconductor chips. Her work with Carver Mead - groundbreaking, a huge impact on the sort of work I do, and the research problems I think about. She was excellent, the absolute best.

.@realDonaldTrump GUILTY of 34 felonies per jury of 12 random citizens (none sought job). GOP faces choice. USA future at stake. Keep Trump as nominee & gamble USA’s future. OR Replace Trump with a good character nominee & BEAT THE STEW OUT OF BIDEN! foxnews.com/live-news/may-…

@vurnt22 He was in the Beatles, right?

Kafka. He did a LOT more fretting than Ernst.

So here's a story of, by far, the weirdest bug I've encountered in my CS career. Along with @maciejwolczyk we've been training a neural network that learns how to play NetHack, an old roguelike game, that looks like in the screenshot. Recenlty, something unexpected happened.

Again, a moment to pause & appreciate the cool professionalism of those in & around the Key Bridge at 1:24 am Tuesday. Ship’s pilot radios in that ship has lost steerage & will hit bridge. Someone (maritime control?) transmits urgent alert to Maryland/Balt police dispatch… —>

@PatrickGr My first real programming language was Pascal. I got to say hello to him at a Turing awards event (we rode in an elevator together; I did my best not to freak out).

One of the all-time greats. (Insert here your own call-by-value joke.)

I just donated to Lea Webb for NY State Senate! secure.actblue.com/donate/lea-web…

TSMC's chief scientist explains the value of transitioning from the 3nm to the 2nm process --

I wish I had money for nothing.

@dadatheband New York is really nice in July.

Are you ready to return?

@DC_Draino @ryanjreilly You don't actually believe there's election fraud, though. It's just a lie you tell, so that you can grift off of stupid people. It's the same schtick from when Cruz beat Donnie in the Iowa caucuses. You're a liar. You know it. Everyone knows it. reuters.com/article/us-usa…

@ryanjreilly Here I fixed it to be more accurate!

A prominent account that's been spreading a ton of Jan. 6 disinfo on this site has posted a doctored image from the Capitol attack. The doctored image gives an officer glasses, a smile, and an altered nose, and labels him a stand-in for the "deep state." Subtle!

Our PhD student Mohammad Khasawneh defended his dissertation last week! Congratulations to Dr. Khasawneh and his advisor @PatrickHMadden. It was a long journey, but you did it!

@CarterCenter Rest well, Miss Rosalynn. It was an honor to meet her in 1976, when we passed through Plains and stopped in at a grocery store. We got an autograph, and it meant a lot to our family.

Our co-founder, former U.S. First Lady Rosalynn Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia. For more information: cartercenter.org/news/pr/2023/s…
