  1. Wonderful little #computing #history story highlighting that there is both a global institution that happens to be in #cambridge and there's the local #university ;-)

    Joins together somewhat with the fact that the #sinclair building is now part of the #ARU estate and of course that Acorn went on to become Acorn Risc Machines (ARM), with a little help from an #engineer from 'the tech'.

  2. RE: mastodon.world/@davidho/117235

    Great time to mention that UPEI now has free, secure #bike storage on campus! Any students or staff can get free access by dropping by security and providing ID card. Hopefully first of many #activetransport #university upei.ca/communications/news/20

  11. Quick! Get her!

    "A student at the #University of #Exeter has alleged that she was subjected to a torrent of #antisemitic abuse on #campus, despite not being #Jewish, simply due to her work with a #Holocaust #education charity.

    #AmberleyThay, 20, a third-year history student who works as a regional ambassador for the Holocaust Educational Trust ( #HET), claimed to have been labelled a “mouthpiece for #Israel” thanks to her advocacy for more comprehensive teaching about the #Shoah.

    She has been involved with the charity for four years, first engaging with it during a visit to #Auschwitz as part of its Lessons from Auschwitz project."

  12. The pet I’ll never forget:
    Harold, the halls of residence #cat, who looked after me when I first left home

    He was the gorgeous furry #tabby who made my day, even when he waltzed into my flat just to finish my takeaway. Now he’s a #campus #celeb, with a part-time job guarding the doors of the #village shop

  17. You would think someone smart enough to go up to #University would steer clear of dodgy #scams (even if they are a business management student) but not shank his former friend in broad daylight in the street directly outside the University!

    Was a 3 grand loss really worth doing 10,5 years in #prison for? (assuming 66,67% early release as it was #manslaughter rather than murder with a minimum tarriff)

    Maybe he even calculated that (works out as about 77p per day he sits inside)

    Not the first #stabbing amongst Uni students in recent times either, there was once a time when they were less likely to resort to #violence but it seems #ToxicMasculinity has also put paid to that..

  19. A good apology takes “…clear and direct responsibility for specifically what we've said and done, or not said and done, without a hint of evasion, blaming, obfuscation or excuse-making.” Harriet Lerner <on the CBC Day 6 radio show, episode 455 - August 2019>

    I don't hear that from Hokkaido University.

  20. Robert Socolow was a founder of the Carbon Mitigation Initiative of #Princeton University. He has articulated pathways to reduction of carbon dioxide emissions for minimizing climate change, especially the concept of climate stabilization wedge.

    In his 2007 Senate testimony, Robert Socolow cited the proposed 500-MW H2 and #CCS project at BP's Carson refinery in California as evidence of the technology's commercial maturity. The project was highlighted as an example of a near-commercial, full-scale deployment effort.
    But it never happened.

  21. CW: i have a question :boosts_ok_gay: :neofox_heart: please boost, genai mention

    (edit) i am NOT asking for help ​:neofox_googly_woozy:​ read the question (last paragraph), that's the question. managing how i'm doing in uni is another thing. end of edit

    i have a question!
    ​:boosts_ok_gay:​ ​:neofox_heart:​

    yk i never really studied bc i was lucky enough to not need to in order to get good (or acceptable) grades. but that is now a problem because i very much need to study now for uni and i don't have a habit (also adhd i love and hate you)

    in uni now i see literally everyone using genai, and ehh i have my thoughts on that but that's not the point of this post. it's got me thinking

    i've seen ppl say like "we don't need ai for this and that, there's already a tool for it" and that's true for a lot of stuff but specifically for studying i can't really come up with anything? other than like obsidianmd

    i wouldn't know, again i never had a studying habit so i don't know any of what ppl used to study that could be comparable to ai in uhhhhh usefulness i guess?

    so like. do they exist? what were/are those tools? how well do they hold up?

  22. Sattumalta lukeille osunut Bradley Dowdenin ikääntynyt IEP-entry Fallacies sai muistelemaan muita opastuksia argumentoinnin karikoiden väistelemiseen sosiaalisenkin median Juhannus-aallokoissa, iep.utm.edu/fallacy/

    Wikipedian päivittyneempi lista "päättelyvirheistä" sisältää lyhyiden luonnehdintojen lisäksi linkit perusteellisempiin selostuksiin, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_

    WayBack-masiina löytää edelleen myös Stephen Downesin mainion esityksen, jota hyödynsin omassa opetuksessani kolme vuosikymmentä sitten, web.archive.org/web/2011041102 . Mukana oli jopa "listan" käyttöohje, jossa varoiteltiin nimikkeillä hutkimisesta, web.archive.org/web/2011051419

    Tällaisten kertaaminen aina silloin tällöin voi auttaa purjehtimaan nykyajassa vastuullisena episteemisenä agenttina.
