Hoodie, unisex cut. The measurements in parantheses are the half chest width, the total length, and sleeve length, in that order. There will be a second poll for sizes XL-3XL in response to this one.

“Chinese courts rule AI replacement is not legal grounds for firing workers as global tech layoffs hit 78,000”

Remember a while back when surveys showed that people in China were a lot less anxious about "AI" than those in the west?

I want to get the sizes right this time, so I'm going to post a few polls in response to this post. Please respond if you've bought or are planning to buy from our merch shop (see context in the quote).

LLMs are changing every aspect of higher education, but perhaps none more so than computer science, where LLMs inflame the age-old tension between the thrill of building and the importance of first-principles understanding. Today, @ahl and I will be joined by Brown University CS professors Shriram Krishnamurthi and Kathi Fisler to talk about their experience teaching an agentic AI course -- and what it might bode for the future of CS education.

Renewable sources produced 33.8% of the world’s electricity last year, compared to 33% for coal. First time those two lines crossed since 1919, when global grid was still small enough to run mostly on hydropower.

Not A Good Sign:

"We have opinion poll data from the 60s. And similar to today, there is really a striking correspondence of support by tens of millions of Americans for that political violence itself. So what's different about our era today is not just that this is not the first time we've had millions of Americans supporting political violence. It is pretty much the first time it's happened on both sides at the same time."

Bluesky shouldn't measure itself to universal aspirations that X-Twitter itself can no longer achieve, and which were only possible in a unique historical moment in early development of global online cultures between 1984-2014. But to stay ahead of the curve Bluesky users can't just rely on Bluesky.

Admittedly, this is probably not the most illustrative example of the URG flag, but it was surprisingly difficult to find other uses of it in real-world captures.

Fun observation:

If you do cool stuff, then over time you will gather a bunch of people who are interested in doing cool shit, and will quickly feel like the cool shit you're doing is inadequate because you're surrounded by people who can do cooler shit than you.

This is a desirable outcome. (It's related to the friendship paradox, too!)

5 cognitive biases leftist online communities routinely use to smuggle in transphobia and transmisogyny

- base rate neglect

The bias where undue attention is given to attributes of a specific case while ignoring the base population rate of those attributes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base%5Frate%5Ffallacy

- availability bias

the false belief that the examples you personally have seen and are aware of are statistically valuable and significant

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Availability%5Fheuristic

- out group homogeniety bias

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-group%5Fhomogeneity

the belief that all members of a minority group are all identical and share a community, a hivemind, shared decision making, and therefore should all share accountability for what any specific member does

this one is a real red flag in leftist spaces cos i have seen it so unevenly applied to the trans community in so many situations that would be very obviously seen as bigotry if applied to any other minority group; the belief that white trans women have a special and heightened responsibility to “call in” our sisters - seperate and greater than the responsibility any cis white person has- betrays a bunch of false and transphobic beliefs about trans women in general

- Denominator Neglect

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denominator%5Fneglect

people focus on the total number of problematic trans people they see and never put it into the context of the total number of trans people that exist, including the ones they don’t notice or pay any attention to because they are specifically not a problem and you might not even know they are trans.

It’s awareness of THIS bias in cis people that drives some of us trannies to be vocally visible, and even to draw the complaint fhat we’ve “made it our whole personality” because we know if we don’t you cissy fuckers are gonna try and tell us the 5 visible bigoted assholes amongst us represents the entire community

- Disproportionate scrutiny / Hypervisibility

Far from being a privelege, this one means that if any one of us fucks up even slightly, it becomes a huge internet drama, while cis people can fuck up in the same ways and it’s just a day ending in “y”

this is all not to say that trans people being nazis, racist or bigoted isn’t a problem; just that it isn’t a problem that is *special* and specific to trans women. The “trans” part isn’t relevant and doing special callouts of a person’s minority attributes is itself, a virulent form of transphobia that nevertheless is casually accepted in our communities
