One of the very best illustrations of the nature of social media is the number of accounts responding to disagree about the understanding of gravitation with *Edward Witten*. (Whose nail clippings probably know more math and physics than the accounts.)
@TheAnnaGat Congratulations to all of my Hungarian friends!
@YateghteghSKY I'm glad to see that some researchers are now considering how we might impose structure that improves the performance of these systems, without losing too much of the advantage of finding statistical patterns in data.
@YateghteghSKY This is a big question! My impression is that much of what is hot in AI right now tries to avoid imposing structure on systems, letting statistical techniques find patterns without being biased by what humans think is happening. 1/2
This is the dream: train an LLM on the 20+ year cache of the session notes, assignments, and readings I've created for my classes, then use it to generate lectures, talks, and presentations. I'll replace myself and get out my hammock. gocomics.com/doonesbury/202…
There's a fantastic paper about this called The Discoveries of Continuations by John Reynolds. homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/papers/…
whoever invented callbacks, continuations, generators, whatever you want to call them. that person was amazing. they deserve the world

You’re “aging yourself” by naming Mike Trout? Oh my… Willie Mays Hayes. Kirby Puckett. Bernie Williams.
@infinitary “I already have a program, and now I *really* need a programmer.”
"a computer scientist who doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing" RIP Tony Hoare. blog.computationalcomplexity.org/2026/03/tony-h…
Astronomical spring and meteorological spring are important, of course, but tomorrow is the most important day of March: sartorial spring, when Prof. Wallingford flips the bit and switches into shorts for the year.
i am pretty sure every song i have ever written was inspired by “boys of summer”. a total masterpiece.
I'd like to think a lyric in @mattnathanson's "Still" was inspired by one in Don Henley's "Boys of Summer." I want to believe every fan of the power of words can build on something great to which we've been exposed. It would affirm there are endless possibilities out there...

I have a post-it note on my desktop on which I record 2FA codes that are palindromes, fun patterns, or cool numbers. It's an unusual affectation that gives me a little bit of pleasure.
I am oddly pleased when 2FA acts me to input numbers that I recognize to have nice numerical properties, like 496.
@JustDeezGuy I loved programming in Eiffel. Would like to have tried CLU.
@infinitary I still don't know where it will land. I think there will still be a profession, but for how many of them? The advent of compilers didn't decrease the demand for programmers, quite the opposite, so there is reason to hope, I think.
@krismicinski @KleeneAlgebra If the admin and current trends have their way, kids won't be able to learn any of that democratic socialist stuff in school.
@krismicinski @KleeneAlgebra I was a first-gen college graduate, and this gap makes a lot of sense to me. Throughout my career, especially early on, there were so many things I had no clue about. That leads to suboptimal choices sometimes, or simply not pursuing an opportunity that I wasn't aware of.
@RobertTalbert Too bad Jones got hurt just as the competition got stronger. I had hoped they might squeeze into the playoffs anyway, but their defense doomed them.
@krismicinski @tritlo Agreed, though I sometimes wonder... When people use a stock holding as collateral for a loan (used by the ultra-rich in lieu of income), I think that they have realized value. I'm trying to imagine a way to begin taxing capital gains then.
