This is a good read if you're trying to understand the future in autonomous tech and AI. #rodneybrooks is a pioneer in #robotics and #ai (parent of the roomba among other things) and just an interesting guy. He benchmarks his 2018 predictions against progress at the start of every year. I find […]

if you want a break from politics for 5 mins, an incredible story of #lizards that effectively play #roshambo / #rockpaperscissors with their genetics. Kudos to a bunch of #scientists who did a lot of lizard #Sequencing to work it out.

Happy new year to all the #programmers out there. Already had my first datetime bug of the year. Software assumed 1/1 < 12/31 ignoring the year and threw away today’s datapoint on a medical device. This seems apropos

And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration.
It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.
