And of course the office is the place everyone wants to be during an ice storm.
This reminds me of a the chapter about Leibniz and the universal language from Change Is the Only Constant.
I’m intrigued by the concept.
It does say people who own more books are more likely to organize, and I guess it makes sense you wouldn’t organize only a handful. (Although even if I only had a few I’d prob do size or something.) But even that case has 30% of people with over 100 books unorganized. So surprising!
None at all? That’s so insane to me, though I guess I do have a friend who does that. I just thought they were much more usual.
I do appreciate how the Size and Color lines of the graph are in that sorting system.
I think LLMs have uses, but "1,000 targets, including a girls elementary school we hit twice with precision munitions" is indeed representative of their state-of-the-art—and likely a fundamental limitation of the technology.
Sometimes sloppiness is okay; sometimes it's 160 dead children.
Interesting to note here that almost every reply and quote of this agrees and then focuses on Fetterman. But…that’s still not the problem! Did you know the Senate Majority Leader is John Thune? Blame him! Put his picture on there.
A couple of my 5th/6th graders (lunchtime problem solving class) got into this puzzle from NACLO...obviously only a puzzle if you don't know Estonian, but how do you say 11:30 in Estonian? www.naclo.cs.cmu.edu/problems2014...
What if I say no to all three?
I think that could be good as a first round, but I was picturing no assigned first step, they just have to collect a full set, but any set. (If every problem is, say, 5 steps, then it'll be easy to know if they are done.)
The latest update on AL, Logical's Kickstarter talks more about the math notes which follow the story. www.kickstarter.com/projects/nat... Readers want to know more, and these notes are a support for them and for teachers who want to lead related activities.
So I am picturing taking a few different tough identities problems, ones with a a couple of steps, and making each step a separate card. Then play either a drafting game or a gin rummy type game where the Ss have to collect cards to make a fully solved problem.
I don’t have a ready made game, but if I wanted to make one, I would first focus on the main math action, which I would say is “identifying things as being equivalent when they look different” or “creating a sequence of equivalent expressions.”
My guess is yes. It looks like mostly quarters, and 2 rolls of quarters is $20, and I could imagine rolling that pile into two rolls. But it's close.
There’s always those asshole seagulls, plenty of those.
It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker
This was never about woman's sports
Metagaslighting.
The thick ice of the people who shoveled very poorly is actually easier to walk over than the thin ice of the people who shoveled well, but not perfectly.
They did, they fought it every year. And as a percentage, this budget is less than Adams’s.
Which is why these arguments are really just proxy arguments for anti-Newsom (or insert other candidate here) and pro-Newsom. If you are worried about people sitting out for Newsom, work on promoting a better candidate. If you actually like Newsom, promote him, not a meta-argument about how to vote.
What happened to your promises about library and park funding? It looks like there's plenty of funding to spare in the NYPD budget.
The thing is, if you’re making Vote Blue No Matter Who arguments in September, October, etc, that’s fine. If you’re making it before the primaries, you’re promoting the inevitability of a bad choice when a better one could be available. There’s no reason to take this combative stance in February.
Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…
I mean, you can hit 10 just by being a vegetarian
well i for one couldn’t be more excited for the possibilities of AI. finally a technology that answers the age old question ‘what if clippy was wormtongue’
We can’t say something like “DHS is abolished (in the future).” We can only say, “We will abolish DHS.”
I think rather than a prediction, future tense as goal is good.
I was thinking about conjugation (as one does), particularly future tense. I used to think English was lacking in this regard, not having a real future tense where an action is described as happening in the future. Instead you can only state present intention. But isn’t that the way it is?
Fun and informative thread:
I do appreciate how many of the singers featured at this super bowl are queer in some way. 5/6?
