This entire thread needs a massive trigger warning.
The semester is finally over, so it's time for me to post the memes my students made for extra credit on their final (Physics 438b: Quantum Mechanics). As always, good memes are the result of my inspiring teaching, bad memes are the result of kids these days. Let's start it off!

What’s really amazing about vibe-coding is how people are replacing programming languages which are strictly deterministic with human speech which is highly ambiguous and expect programming to be faster and better.

When I first heard about, I was irritated by the change. Now that I see it... this is chef's kiss. The two thes. The differently sized fonts. The atrocious kerning. Even the reflectivity of the material being different. This sign is answering so many questions raised by the sign.

THREAD.
3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.
We decided to call him Jim.
This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

Nvidia is not Enron, it just replays one on the S&P 500.

"ENRON, which had been a component of the S&P; 500, was removed at the end of trading Thursday and replaced by NVIDIA Corp., a Santa Clara, Calif.-based maker of computer-graphics chips."
