Regarding LB[1]: I greatly enjoyed the conclusion in the blog post. Really, that's probably the appropriate conclusion to much of the work our so-called profession gets up to.

A reminder I've needed at times:
- It's nobody's job to curate their posts for your feed
- If you're unhappy with your feed, change what you see
- If you can't, maybe you actually just need to take a break

you know it'd be cool to run a "beyond the conventional" research presentation workshop. like we just submit in comics, zines, short movies and whatnot and the conference is just us setting up artist alley-esque tables to display whatever we made.
it'd definitely be way more fun than a poster session.

Wow. Scientific American blasts SCOTUS rulings:
"Science is dismissed and disdained in this war on reality."
"technically incompetent, in some cases corrupt, politicos in robes with power over matters that hinge on vital facts about pollution, medicine, employment and much else."
"In rejecting facts to please their political party—and their patrons—the justices of the Court’s majority have broken their oath, made to both the Constitution and the American people."

"AI companies work around this by paying human classifiers in poor but English-speaking countries to generate new data. Since the classifiers are poor but not stupid, they augment their low piecework income by using other AIs to do the training for them. See, AIs can save workers labor after all."

strlcpy and how CPUs can defy common sense
Fascinating post and good showing for glibc’s optimised string and memory functions—15 times faster than a naive implementation in one example.

“Even as the West sought to cut off access to semiconductors through trade restrictions, Russia established such a robust parallel supply chain that it imported almost the same number of critical chips in the last three months of 2023 that it did in the same period in 2021… The reliance on China for many of these chips also deepened, with transactions that were historically settled in U.S. dollars now increasingly executed in Renminbi, according to the analysis.”

‘… warned Republicans against calling Ms. Harris a “D.E.I.” hire or a “diversity, equity and inclusion” candidate, but some Republicans have ignored that advice. (Mr. Trump himself posted on social media on Wednesday about the multiracial Ms. Harris, falsely implying two headlines were contradictory because one highlighted her as the first Indian American U.S. senator, and the other as the first Black woman serving as a running mate.)’

“The Trump team was not unprepared. They had planned for the possibility of Mr. Biden’s dropping out, produced anti-Harris videos and tested her vulnerabilities in private polls. But they were still somewhat surprised when Mr. Biden actually did it... And they were caught off guard by the speed and ruthless efficiency of the replacement. They figured that if he did quit, Democrats would have to stumble through at least a few weeks of turmoil”
