It really shouldn't take digging into the bowels of any software extension to figure out how to disable an energy-intensive feature that I don't want.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised at UT Austin, but also... WTAF. Who else is "enthusiastically looking forward" to this?

I'm doing one of those "researcher surveys" for a research about research (??), and this question has me wondering just how alone I am outside the humanities

This from M. Gessen’s latest has me downright shook. Do I want to do the query and teach whatever LLM that I exist?

My congress person is the minority whip and I wish she was just the tiniest bit persuadable by her constituents. I call all the time to complain about things, but this is what she send us. Too little too late on Gaza, Congresswoman Clark.

A few weeks ago, I noticed a nest was wedged between my downstairs neighbor’s window AC unit and the wall. When I showed it to her, it made her day. Yesterday she noticed eggs. She’s been afraid to turn on the AC in that room for fear of disturbing the occupants.

I don’t claim to be a film expert or anything. I tried to go with films that stuck with me long after I saw them. I’ve seen most of these at least two times. Fun fact: I got dumped by someone directly after seeing one of these and I still rate it.

Serious question: who is asking for this in Google Scholar? I'm not anti-AI, but this seems like a waste. We already have abstracts, headings, and subheadings to do this job for us. Why waste the resources on this "feature" when it might hallucinate and waste tons of electricity in the process?

A Wellesley College tradition I cherish is that the night before the last day of classes, the seniors lovingly roast their professors. Here’s how the music seniors get me.

The plan “would essentially signal to the private sector that if it wants federal dollars, it needs to stay away from sex- or gender-affirming care, and bow down to right-wing pundits who aim to, in their own words, “eradicate” and “erase” this form of health care.”
