When an unauthorized, uncleared person or persons accesses a core computer system or network it's all but impossible to know with any degree of certainty that they didn't leave malicious code behind somewhere. The result: all the hardware and software must be scrapped and replaced. /1

I've done an unusual number of mentoring calls this week, and one thing I'd like to remind everyone is, you are enough, and you can't forget how far you've come. You're most likely in the best position you've ever been in to build on top of everything you've done until this point.

Yeet all genAI into the sun please.
I cannot express how bad this story is for generative AI. OpenAI is burning hundreds of millions of dollars to try and make GPT-5 a meaningful upgrade, and it isn't working. Where does all of this go? How does this result in anything?

Producing useless bullshit more quickly is not an improvement in educational outcomes. Why would doing things in "a fraction of the time" is usually takes be a good thing? Why do we so disrespect the labor of teaching and learning as to wish it away by outsourcing it to something that cannot think?

#Python crowd, for those using @pola.rs is there a way to remove items from a list object or do you just create a new list minus what needs to be removed?
For context, I create a list of selected df columns and use that for transforms then want to drop _most_ of the same columns later on.

I want more human-created content.
I want to see and experience things that humans have created.

What are your go to apps for doing data work and development?
I gifted myself a MacBook and I’m coming off of Windows 10. I’m familiar with common IDEs and cli tools like DuckDB, but not sure what I might be missing.
Also looking for good mouse and CLI setup suggestions.
