from now on I'm just going to truncate the taylor series for sin at the first term. sin(x) = 0 for all x. this approximation

- is efficient to compute
- has bounded error
- has excellent analytic properties
- has very high accuracy for small values, which occur frequently in applications

To be clear, the person's student status doesn't matter. Either way, this is another data point in an OCEAN of data that says that we cannot trust local or campus police departments to intervene against ICE operations.

As always, ICE off of campus, cops off of campus, and tear apart the DHS.

Today, ICE agents apprehended someone on a community college in the Chicago area (College of Lake County). They weren't in any buildings, but they were on campus. Apparently campus police came to the scene, conferred with ICE agents, and then the arrest continued. No news on whether it was a student

HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”

“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.

Switching my brain from "sports only mode" to "work week and country collapse mode" is exhausting, how is one supposed to keep up with the horrors, both professionally and socially?

I suppose I’m too literal-minded, but I really don’t get these Google Cloud commercials where Google AI finds what are obviously spurious correlations in Major League Baseball stats.

Like isn’t this the whole reason why ML dressed up as AI is bullshit?

For @julianastratton.bsky.social and @robinlynnekelly.bsky.social, both running for a Senate seat in IL, if you're planning to represent IL, what are you planning to do, now, to not only keep the state police from joining ICE in terrorizing our neighbors, but to keep ICE out of the state in general?
