I'm an experienced and well-published Software Engineering Professor. Take it from me: The best way to ship software with fewer known defects is to test less.

@Philip_DT @allenanalysis It's culturally normative (if slightly snarky) to refer to (even unfamiliar) older Indian men as "Uncle". I even wear a red மாமா (uncle) hat that proudly asserts my evident membership in this category.

@allenanalysis Why is the man being referred to as "an indian uncle"?

Laura Loomer flew to India.
Before she left she deleted all of her anti-Indian tweets. Thousands of them. Gone.
She thought nobody would notice.
An Indian uncle noticed.
He read them back to her on camera.
Every one. Her own words. Her own bigotry. Directed at the people whose country she was visiting as a guest.
This is the woman who has the personal cell phone number of the President of the United States.
This is the woman who shaped immigration policy from Mar-a-Lago.
She deleted the evidence before crossing the border.
The internet is forever.
The uncle is a hero.

...and by 2090 or so, I really really hope that Apple figures out how to make edible, nutritious, tasty macbooks.

I've plotted the most expensive McDonald's burger and the least expensive MacBook over time. This analysis projects that the most expensive burger will be more expensive than the cheapest laptop as soon as 2081

I wonder if this would be just as funny in an Indian Accent?

Very interesting Times of India article on observable caste bias in Large Language Models. Reports also on a related project from @iitmadras

#AI knows how #caste works in #India. Here's a long piece based on multiple research studies on caste is as deep-rooted in #LLMs as it is in the society. As AI systems move into hiring, credit scoring, education, governance, and healthcare, the stakes intensify with such #bias!

@RadishHarmers I haven't seen any posts that the Bay Area is Frequentist, so this claim must be true.

If you’re a Christian (in parts of India): religious fanatics, with official support, will prevent you from exercising your constitutional right to publicly celebrate Christmas. They will interrupt prayer services, and desecrate churches, @FaithandFreedom @amnesty @ADFlegal

Not sure how to explain Aryabhatta's discoveries (ca. 5/6 centuries CE), in answer to this question, without sounding like a jokey smartass retort to a possibly racist question.

Immigrant: I’d like to apply for a mortgage.
Bank: In applying, we’ll need employment & income, 5 years of tax returns, & funds to cover 20% down.
Immig.: Uh, I’m here illegally, and I’m on welfare.
Bank: As a Republican, we’ll give you a house that an American qualified for.

Now that Yann Lecun has left Meta:
*NONE* of the (Hinton, Bengio, Lecun) Turing Award Laureates for deep learning are working for the Rich Plutocrats who run the ersatz "Magnificient 7" Corps
Reminds of that age-old question:
If You're so Rich, how come you ain't Smart?
