The AIP stats team has released its latest data of physics & astronomy PhD trends, with breakdown by gender. What is extraordinary to me is how clearly the overall trends exhibit an important gender dimension, and that that story is quite different between physics and astronomy.

Notepad should not know what the internet is. If you have notepad talking to remote servers you're already like 10 steps into a "factors leading to" slide.
What the heck are they doing over there

The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.
The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.
AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...

their stupidity is so predictable and boring I was just guessing and there you go
So DOD risked civilian airspace to obliterate some fucking balloons; when FAA found out and asked them to stop they refused; FAA did what it had to keep people safe; when the public rightly freaked out, DOD relented, lied, and blamed the FAA.
Sounds like Hegseth!

Just got a message from a signal group saying ICE was photographing *children* getting on and off a school bus today.
Stories about what ICE's presence in Minnesota has done to kids — something I'm seeing firsthand — are hard to read. It's unfathomable that kids have to go through this. www.startribune.com/ice-children...
Yuen: Even if ICE left tomorrow, the damage to kids is already done
“They’re all suffering,” says one Minnesota immigrant dad who has been sheltering in place with his children.

My dad was eager to retire from being a sysadmin because he hated working to live in general but I think Windows 11 really would have been the final straw if he'd had to use this

I have had to hard reset this laptop running Windows 11 more in the ~3 years I've owned it than I have had to hard reset every other PC I've owned to date combined. I use it for word processing, web browsing, and listening to music. That's it.
my laptop isn't acknowledging chargers anymore which is not great when I have to teach online tonight

That's something she will have to live with, I suppose. I think the naturopathic route would look a lot less appealing if we had a system that wasn't profit-based and listened to people who are suffering, it's all part and parcel 🙁

On Monday I was talking with an older student who lost both her parents and two siblings in the last five years and we were both sharing that being unable to name this pain for its ugliness and cruelty starts to feel like being strangled by all the words left unsaid and it's true
