This afternoon, fulfilling a Mother’s Day request a day early, the family hiked the Cascades in Pembroke, VA. The trail transits up Little Stony Creek to this fantastic set of falls. We had the fortunate timing of being there not long after heavy rains. Perfect weather for it too.

Tech jobs are highly cyclical and lots of the gen AI stuff is ridiculously overhyped, and I’m hopeful that the wheel will keep turning and the professional prospects of software developers will improve again…assuming human civilization survives, that is.
But what I said above applies regardless. We should all be doing this meaning-making work all the time, even in the best job markets. In fact, that work is a part of •making• human civilization survive.

Oil prices have jumped past $100 a barrel as the Iran war disrupts oil production and shipping in the Middle East.

That's 16.5% higher than the international benchmark's Friday closing price of $92.69. The light crude oil produced in the United States sold for about $106.22 a barrel, or 16.9% more.

I inherited my copy of Plato's Republic from my father, and I have always assumed he got it while he was at university. He probably did. But I assumed he bought it new, and he didn't. He's written his name on the flyleaf, but above it someone else has written 'A H Pearce, Jan 88' (very nice handwriting). The title page dates it to 1881.
So this wee book is probably one hundred and forty five years old. It's in remarkable condition.

A small book bound in dark green leather, with some stamped gold leaf decoration. In a red panel on the spine, it is entitled 'Republic Of Plato', in gold serif capitals.
The flyleaf, on which someone has written 'A H Pearce, Jan 88' in very neat handwriting, and my father has scrawled 'A T Brooke' underneath.
Inside, the text is quite dense, but very clear and legible.

The BBC, CBC and other media are only focusing on half the story. But the quote above almost gets there! Hey @… can you help highlight this in your reporting??
Yes, it is extremely important that OpenAI tells the authorities if obviously dangerous planning is happening. But we should also be asking a second question:
Should we as a society allow automated tools to be created that can help plan “scenarios involving gun violence”?
This is not an "age verification" question. As far as I'm concerned, a computer system should not be designed or be allowed to counsel people of any age on how to kill others. That is what ChatGPT is likely to have done here. There is no limit on what any LLM/AI system can say to users.

What the company had to say - #Starlink satellite incident: "On Sunday, March 29, Starlink satellite 34343 experienced an anomaly on-orbit, resulting in loss of communications with the satellite at ~560 km above Earth.
Latest analysis shows the event poses no new risk to the @Space_Station, its crew, or to the upcoming launch of NASA’s Artemis II mission. We will continue to monitor the satellite along with any trackable debris and coordinate with @NASA and the @USSpaceForce.
The event also posed no new risk to this morning’s Transporter-16 mission, which was designed to avoid Starlink with payload deploys well above or well below the constellation. The SpaceX and Starlink teams are actively working to determine root cause and will rapidly implement any necessary corrective actions."

Anyone good in statistics who can quickly answer a question? Assume I have an n-digit random binary number (for IT people: a bitstring). I calculate the number of 1s vs. 0s ("Hamming weight"). Expected to be usually ~0.5/50%. How does one calculate the probability for a given length n that it's above or below a certain value, i.e. <=40% or >=60%? And how many inputs would one on average need to get at least one such outlier?
