USC professor Allison Marsh writes this delightful short article for IEEE Spectrum about Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert's British counterparts in Cambridge and how, in their case, a document (the Lighthill Report) precipitated cuts in British AI research funding in ways similar to how funding was temporarily cut in the U.S. following MIT's publishing of Minsky and Papert's "Perceptrons" in 1969.

Rural Republicans used to back NPR. Then MAGA changed everything.
Polarized views of public broadcasting,
along with a splintered and increasingly online media environment,
pose a problem for NPR, PBS and their audiences,
who will need some Republicans to break ranks to prevent the cuts that Trump is demanding
as part of a larger package of budget reductions that the House will consider as soon as Tuesday.
I realize there's a lot going on, but I'm surprised I didn't hear anything about the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge partially shutting down for emergency repairs. How does this affect the bike path debate? No word if it's affected by the shutdown.
