The font is a bit different, but mainly the message about diversity appears to come from removing the old white guy who used to be in it. -
@cgervasi @fritzoids What's so baffling about masking up when covid is still killing & disabling folks? It's not baffling to those of us who never stopped being covid safe. It's personal & community care to not play medical Russian Roulette with one's life & others' lives.

i get your point, but plenty of academics are already onto a better solution: including #positionality statements, which effectively outline your #intersectional background and potential biases as an author (which of course, are never exhaustive as no one has perfect self-awareness). this helps us train each other to think of the different lenses we wear when witnessing something, or recounting, or hearing second- or third-hand. in turn, we can craft better feedback if there are inaccuracies or missing nuances, extend grace as appropriate, etc. objectivity really is a myth, and the sooner more people realize, acknowledge, and promote that, the better off we’ll all be.

@cgervasi @punkonbus1701 >want an algorithm I control or no algorithm at all.
Ugh. I stick around on birdsite simply to follow two people I hate just so I can angrily shake my fist at them. Im spoiled now. Even just looking at THEIR profiles, I can't get a simple chronological list of their tweets. its all so... #garbage.
I LOVE everything being simply #chronological here.

There is even a technical by proxy, literally, system in place by categorization, where #FilterBubbledSocialMedia happens to reside which is overlayed on top of #ARPANET1 based on the #TIA program of yester years.

Radio frequency gull emissions
Are jamming up the airwaves now
Flocks and flocks of swirling birds
Breaking up my communications, but how?
My RF emissions are breaking up
Too much flapping interference math
I cannot receive you, cannot copy
The seagulls have disrupted the path
We must use electronic countermeasures
Or all will be lost
The radio communications must continue
At any and all cost
We shall lose the war if we cannot communicate
Using our high power RF transmitter array
Quick fire up the falcon brigade
To chase the seagulls away#poem #radio #radiofrequency #seagulls (human poem)

@zl2tod @poleguy @cgervasi @SpaceLifeForm
Gulls are causing interference
My radio they do foil
Flocks flying in circles
Are like a magnetic inductor coilSending out all kinds of frequencies
So I cannot hear
What kind of food to order
And what kind of beerCQ CQ CQ they call
While looking for a meal
Hoping for a radio contact
Or a sandwich they can steal#rf #rfinterference #gulls #seagulls #poem (human poem)

This #NYT article about how snake experts grade Health Secretary #RFK's #snake wrangling technique makes me feel like I'm in a weird dream.

I like #Claude, but the lowest-cost model, #Haiku, is mostly worthless. I was talking about power supplies for a product, and it told me I get get more *power* out of a North American outlet because 20A breakers are common here, whereas in Europe and Asia 16A are more common.
I save on tokens using Haiku, but I end up spending more because the output is worse than #Gemini Flash-Lite, #llama3, or #Phi4. Haiku *may* be better at #RAG; I'm not sure, but it doesn't make up for the #LLM being bad.

Sounds of #gunfire heard near #WhiteHouse

This article says the US Justice Dept moved to drop fraud and corruption charges against India's richest person after he offered to invest $10B in the US. My understanding is foreign investment directly increases the trade deficit, which is something I thought the current administration was against. I wonder if they're just stupid and think deficits sound bad and investment sounds good or if there's some method to madness.

"America is richer than ever. Unemployment is low. Wages are high. According to traditional metrics, the economy looks strong. So why are Americans feeling so bad?"
This is one of the most confusing questions to me our time. #DerekThompson talks about it with bestselling author Morgan Housel and journalist David Wallace-Wells.

I remember learning in school in the late 80s about the #ENIAC. I felt like it was from a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth. This article from @ieeespectrum me realize it was about 40 years before I learned about it, and now 40 years have passed since then. So the #TRS80coco or #IBM XT sounds like similar ancient history to kids now.

For decades research into #entheogens, aka #psychedelic #drugs, has been obstructed because of their being unfairly demonized. They have the potential to help people with mental health issues, without daily maintenance dosing.

I understand the sentiment completely, but this is a dubious distinction for my congressman representing the #Madison area. I think of the #Midwest as being more conservative in our use of foul language.
"Representative Mark #Pocan of #Wisconsin clocked in as the No. 2 Democrat in The Times’s ranking, at 30 uses of the word, to which he replied: “All right!”"
