I'm reading PhD applications today - a moment that's always a mix of hope and a feeling of futility. Some applications aren't great but many are seriously fantastic. Of course, this means that more than one strong candidate with an excellent file and an exciting project won't get in.

Fluency is prismatic not a binary switch :-) Of course it's not just Filipinos! It happens to German, French sp…

Two Tesla Cybertrucks went up in flames Wednesday afternoon
inside a Santa Monica parking garage,
sending thick black smoke over the neighborhood

The blaze was reported near the intersection of Olympic and Cloverfield boulevards.
