If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Couldn't think of anything better to do with my #FacebookSettlement than to donate it to #Wikipedia.

Microsoft launches Copilot AI function in Excel, but warns not to use it in 'any task requiring accuracy or reproducibility'
You can have Copilot generate your formulas in Excel now, but it doesn't sound ready for prime time.

I'm always vaguely amused when severe weather warnings' borders are one to four blocks away from my home.

It's never worked out to be that exact a prediction. But it'd be even more amusing if it were -- cross the street, no rain. Cross back, downpour. 🤣

@evilhat.bsky.social: So, random question -- are there official PDF copies available for the various MotW books I've picked up? I seem to vaguely remember mention of such a thing, but thought it required a receipt that I didn't keep.

Just be happy he was French and not Greek, otherwise an argument could be made for "Nostradamopodes".

Posting for my #Teacher friends.
r/technology Al's Biggest Threat: Young People W... 4.3k upvotes + 442 comments I recently heard about a teacher who instead oftrying to circumvent students using ai, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong". Not only did the students discover that chatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realize that they should not use it as a primary source.

What about the other pin? No promises there either?
Evil Hat and Fate Corps pins. Guarded or at least watched over by a slightly rusted iron golem.

Ooh. And it looks roomy enough that I might be able to put my "Fate Corps" and Evil Hat pins in it without having to worry about stapling them into my skull.

Depends on the style guide being followed. Associated Press, last I knew, expected/required them. Granted, that was... More years ago than I'd like to admit.

True? False? Good points either way.
