Images of Handcuffed Democrats Are Piling Up in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
Federal agents have arrested a growing number of the party’s elected officials, fueling liberal outrage and conservative accusations that Democrats are carrying out publicity stunts.

Generating Shakespeare-like text with an n-gram language model is straight forward and quite simple. But, don't expect to much of it. It will not be able to recreate a lost Shakespear play for you ;-) It's merely a parrot, making up well sounding sentences out of fragments of original Shakespeare texts...

Is comparing crowd size at No Kings versus the pathetic military parade just pure pettiness?
❝No. Right now crowd sizes matter a lot because competitive authoritarianism rests largely on self-fulfilling expectations.❞

I definitely did not expect to get in 11 miles today! It's getting pretty warm/hot in the mornings though. I was out at 6:30am and that was even a bit too warm.

Uncovering Intention through LLM-Driven Code Snippet Description Generation
Documenting code snippets is essential to pinpoint key areas where both developers and users should pay attention. Examples include usage examples and other Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), which are especially important for third-party libraries. With the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs), the key goal is to investigate the kinds of description developers commonly use and evaluate how well an LLM, in this case Llama, can support description generation. We use NPM Code Snippets, co…

Emperor Trump's spending $100M on a useless 'birthday' military parade for his small penis cuz he thinks weapons & machinery will make him more than the childish toddler he is?

The Tech DEI Backlash -- The Changing Landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Software Engineering
Not long ago, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives were a top priority for leading software companies. However, in a short period, a wave of backlash has led many firms to re-assess their DEI strategies. Responding to this DEI backlash is crucial in academic research, especially because, currently, little scholarly research has been done on it. In this paper, therefore, we have set forth the following research question (RQ): "How have leading software companies changed their DEI s…

Instruction and Solution Probabilities as Heuristics for Inductive Programming
Instruction subsets (ISs) are heuristics that can shrink the size of the inductive programming (IP) search space by tens of orders of magnitude. Here, we extend the IS approach by introducing instruction and solution probabilities as additional heuristics. Instruction probability reflects the expectation of an instruction occurring in a solution, based on the frequency of instruction occurrence in a large code sample. The solution probability for a partial or complete program is simply the prod…
