Content warning: AI Bubble? Projection graph.

So everyone's wondering if there's a financial crisis coming from the popping of the dotcom bubble.
Here's a little chart of those events, projected as though repeated from last week's stock market top.
You'd be looking at 25 to 50 percent drop over a year or three, taking S&P index down to four to five thousand or so over 2026, since that's what they were.
I think it's at least 30% likely to play out roughly like that, and am positioned such that I'm happy either way.

Please sign this petition
I'm a chemist. As a grad student I was a TA and a tutor. I taught college chemistry classes.
That's teaching a subject, not communicating about a technical issue (yes, these really are different skills)
And climate change advocacy has highlighted how difficult communicating is.
I wish this proposal had been enacted when I was a student.
Please sign.

https://c.org/7Xw5hLhnVd @raventhesciencemaven@mastodon.social has created a petition to make communicating about science an integral part of learning science. You'd think that'd be a Duh! thing, but not so much. Especially in our current climate being able to discuss what you do and explain it so a non-expert can understand probably means the difference between being able to continue doing what you're doing... So sign, maybe it'll mark a new trend in higher education! 😁

Sometimes being optimistic or even fatalistic with a smile bites you in the bum.
Our regular garden and tree guy came to quote for trimming the leylandii coming over into our space, our own holly tree and taking out a conifer that had sown itself and grown on for years.
I had forgotten about pointing out the flat Cat 6 cable that's close to it but when I checked afterwards it was grazed and there was no signal.
The 50m cable is coming tomorrow to replace it.

Please — and I can't believe I have to say this — please do not lick your employees.

Margin note in red: "please do _not_ lick your employees" How then can you be sure you are being truly heard? What techniques can you employ? Is it enough to have your subordinate paraphrase your words? I don't think so. What you must do is employ all of your sensory capabilities. To make sure you're being heard, you should watch the person you are talking to. Remember, the more complex the issue, the more prone communication is to being lost. Does your subordinate give appropriate responses t…
