I just want people who work in tech and believe that LLMs are ‘revolutionary’ to stop assuming that a technology that is useful/will be revolutionary in their profession and field has to be similarly transformative in every single field and profession under the sun.
Surely not asking too much.

I wouldn’t apply to a single American university as an international student let alone Texas
Enrollment by international students from China dropped by 3 percent, from India by 4 percent, and enrollment from students from Mexico has flatlined. Here are the likely consequences for Texas' education and economy:
The High Cost of Targeting International Students in Texas
The Trump administration’s bans and airport detentions are derailing the academic dreams of students who carry out important research—and sometimes pay hefty tuition—to attend Texas institutions.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

The support of family and friends made the shit-losing moment possible. They also make it possible to pull it all together again.

ZM is a charming mofo. Trump loves winners. He saw the opposition to ZM and he won? T is into it.
I knew the charm would work when T asked for a meeting. T believes in personal relationships and had none w/ ZM. "Everyone" knew the guy except him. T feels NYC belongs to him so needs the connection.

Thing is, when Mamdani does something early next year that challenges some Trump admin nonsense, you *know* that Trump is going be extra angry and suggest it's a backstabbing, noting how "nice" he was to him in the Oval Office as if that means Mamdani should now agree to all of Trump's demands.
