The U.S. should add 3 more states. Because 53 is a prime number. Then they can truly be one nation, indivisible.

Learning is like peeling an onion— each layer reveals another layer, and occasionally, it makes you cry.

When we asked faculty to identify administrative burdens to research, we wanted processes, not names of administrators you find burdensome.

Yes, we do want you to self-censor. That is kind of the point.

"she could tighten up that triple-axel" I mumble to the television, cracking open my second sleeve of Oreos.

The college reminds you that you should not be using AI to write your academic papers, but because we know you are anyway, we have increased our expectations for a tenurable research record.

❗️❗️❗️❗️REMINDER: It is NOT illegal to record law enforcement on your phone. You don’t have to explain to law enforcement why you’re recording. You don’t have to answer if law enforcement ask if you should be at work instead of recording them. What you can NOT do is interfer in their operations. Yes, you can record. No, you cannot interfere. Know your rights!

@divBy_zero @jonmasters 6T cell is the first thing I show them when we start talking about memory in the sophomore level class on computer organization.

@jonmasters I’m drawing out what a 6T is to way too many engineers in the last 10 years. How do we systematically fix this? Grad school trains kids how to micro-optimize GEMM but not what a 6T is (let alone an 8T)

Please, try to get informed about fundamental technologies before blathering. SRAM is not some new mystical technology that only now is available. It’s also far smaller in capacity than external memories. As any quick search or text book written decades ago will explain clearly

This. The AI wave has stalled new college grad recruitment from the “our jobs will be gone in a year” stupidity. Or you can hire the kids who already know how to use AI and triple their output.

God shows a preference for the poor: the Lord’s words of hope and liberation are addressed first of all to them. Therefore, even in their poverty or weakness, no one should feel abandoned. And if the Church wants to be Christ's Church, it must be a Church in which the poor have a privileged place. #DilexiTe

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system." This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

No one should be forced to flee, nor exploited or mistreated because of their situation as foreigners or people in need! Human dignity must always come first!

The college was disappointed not be on the presidents list of universities to be part of the “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.” We have done everything possible to communicate our compliance! Make in the next round!

The college cannot take a public stand on these political attacks on faculty. But we do hope someone does do something. We just can’t encourage it. Or sanction it. Also, we may have to fire you if you do take a public stand.
