In light of the political killings in Minnesota, remember what Trump did, #minnesota

Trump Administration Abandoning Efforts to Combat White Supremacist and Far-Right Terrorism and Violence
Since Trump returned to office in January, several government programs to combat domestic terrorism from white supremacists, militias, and other radicalized far-right extremists have been curtailed or abandoned. Public safety, civil liberties, and national security will suffer.

I just read Lorena Barba's "Experience embracing genAI in an engineering computations course: What went wrong and what next" and it's one of the best pieces I've read on the challenges of using LLMs in beginning computing classrooms.
"Students quickly developed patterns of using AI as a shortcut rather than a learning companion, leading to decreased attendance and an 'illusion of competence'"

My aging #Ubiquiti Edgerouter-X is failing. So, I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to set up a new #Unifi Gateway Max without success. I'm returning it.

In this post "Consent-Based Computing", I think Heidi Waterhouse is articulating some my own feelings, reflections and choices about the tools around us today and the tradeoffs I'm prepared to make. #linkTuesday

"It’s tough, acting. you have to walk two lines of a tightrope. there’s the all consuming fear of failure… and there’s also confidence – you have to be confident to try new things – And they fight each other all the time."

Minimality and computability of languages of G-shifts
Motivated by the notion of strong computable type for sets in computable analysis, we define the notion of strong computable type for $G$-shifts, where $G$ is a finitely generated group with decidable word problem. A $G$-shift has strong computable type if one can compute its language from the complement of its language. We obtain a characterization of $G$-shifts with strong computable type in terms of a notion of minimality with respect to properties with a bounded computational complexity. We…
