Lol - leave it to the court system to schedule jury duty when the site that gives instructions to the juror is undergoing maintenance.

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!

For me there’s something I haven’t really seen expressed about AI that I like, and it’s where I see a ton of potential, but I do wanna clarify that I’m separating “AI” here from gen AI, the unethical issues, etc etc…

Anyways: I like the potential of ill defined and proximate program synthesis
I hear this often, but if people were trying to replace programming languages why would they be trying to generate so much programming language output though?

I think it's pretty clear that people want multiple things here
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.
I’m currently outside of the Kennedy Center:

I don’t know why.

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.

November 28, 2001:

"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."

Hey folks. I have spent *days* reading and meticulously drafting comments on a very lengthy manuscript. Which I have just found includes an AI-faked quote. Attributed to ME.

Here is a thread of my feelings
