This is so exhausting. I don’t even want to rant about “AI” anymore.
Adding to what May said:
A fundamental problem here is that by and large colleges and universities are fundamentally ill-suited to building user-facing software. I don’t mean that they lack the •technical• expertise in house (they might or might not); I mean these institutions have •structural• problems: too many stakeholders, no history of the kind of team culture that makes software usable, no structural support for creating the space where that kind of team can succeed.

"-le" is a forgotten suffix in English - it's integrated so far into words that we no longer register it. It indicates continuousness: to sparkLE is to repeatedly spark, to scribbLE is to continuously scribe, etc.
So it's very fitting that a company named Apple continuously makes apps.

The collapse of response time is leaving defenders with less and less time to respond during incidents
That's one big reason why proactive cyber -- or offensive cyber or active defense -- is now garnering the spotlight.

I love sitting in public space in my neighborhood - in a park, a library, the community center - because if there's any foot traffic and if I'm there for more than a minute or two, I'll hear several if not dozens of different languages spoken by passersby, some that I can identify and even understand, and others that are totally beyond me. It's seriously one of the best things about this place.

Why do some Americans seem to prefer "upwards of" or even "north/south of ...", when talking about numbers/amounts?
To me, a non-native speaker, a number/amount can be greater/more, or smaller/less than another number/amount. I can probably guess that 11 is "upward" of 10, but that really depends on what your visual picture is of the list of numbers. In a text file, e.g., line 11 is clearly downward of line 10? I'm guessing that's my overthinkin…

One of the things that I needed to do in in an early job was to go into backcountry cabins and deal with haunta virus. It involved going into the cabin, wearing a respirator and a bunny suit, opening all of the windows, and then spraying every surface down with bleach water. They told us that if you get haunta virus, the death is painful and quick.
Dealing with that was kind of easy. Just don't go wander through an old cabin without doing that. Possible person to person infection is scary.

🔸And reports are indicating that the killing of scores of Iranian schoolchildren might have been the handiwork of the United States.
