Finally home, going to unpack and make sure the cats are good before we grab Charlie from shroom grandma. She said he was really sad and whimpers when she would leave his view like he was worried she'd leave like we did.
"Decades of carefully built #infrastructure aimed at improving and tracking how American children learn vanished in an ideological attack…The first blow came in early February. In a single week, #DOGE terminated more than 100 research contracts collectively worth over a billion dollars on paper…DOGE canceled an 11-year longitudinal study tracking youth with disabilities through high school into college and the workforce. #Data painstakingly collected over five years was effectively discarded overnight…Even core federal datasets were not spared."
Went to a bar/grill/pool hall by the university for burgers the other day because the wife has been wanting to go back. I hadn’t been there in years and the students were still gone for Thanksgiving so it was tolerable. Just old people there.
They were having a weekly pool tournament later so we got there just in time to easily find a table.
Guys kept coming in with custom pool ques in bags slung over their shoulders. The first couple times I saw I thought someone with a rifle just came in…….
@PNS Freaked me out at first. Burgers were pretty good. About half the people there all had fresh cut Christmas trees in their trucks.
The town used to have a yearly celebration, Pioneer Days, until the punks rioted a couple years in a row. One of the features was the Sheriff and Little Nell. They had pictures of the people playing the parts over the years. My wife says her friend was Little Nell one year…..scans room…..THERE SHE IS! Takes picture and sends to friend.

@SapphireRose91 jet lag is real. I remember the first time I went to Austin to visit poohbear. I signed on the work computer an hour early because I was still on Texas time.
As a general rule you should always be skeptical of anyone you see online saying "Please invade/bomb/sanction my country," because it means they either (A) aren't living in that country, or (B) have some socioeconomic reason to believe they'll be safe from the repercussions of what they're asking for which everyone else will suffer from.
But honestly it doesn't even matter if they are 100% legit. I don't care if you really are an impoverished Venezuelan civilian living in Venezuela, it's still an indisputable fact that US regime change interventionism is reliably disastrous. Your position isn't made any less stupid and crazy by where you happen to live; anyone who supports US regime change interventionism is still always wrong.

This is actually a really, really good thing to point out.
In AI art, the AI doesn't actually know what the numbers 1 and 0 actually are, it doesn't even understand what 10 actually is or what it represents.
It's only knows that words in a pattern go with these other patterns per its training.
It's the same for LLMs, it doesn't actually "understand" anything, it's a pattern matching approximation function that works so well that it can fool you into thinking it does.

In a plot twist worthy of a political thriller, the EU's new diplomatic chief, Kalla Kallas, finds her shiny new office getting a surprise "spring cleaning" from Belgian police. Raids, seized documents, and detentions over alleged fraud and corruption have arrived just in time to spice up the bloc's already strained credibility. Nothing says "united front" like a corruption probe at the heart of your foreign policy HQ.

On a graphing calculator that would have a myriad of functions no doubt.
On a scientific calculator... Really makes you wonder if it was just an oversight or something, lol. I suppose through judicious use of parenthesis and repetition you could build something with that.
@nazokiyoubinbou My fuzzy brain vaguely remembers fpart() being handy for "clock arithmentic", converting decimal hours into minutes, for instance. And similarly for converting decimal feet into inches and decimal inches into fractions.
But it seems like there was a more useful trick involving "slide rule math", something to do with fractional exponents, but I can't remember the specifics. Ring any bells?
@jakebrake To some extent I could see such things, but remember, this is a scientific calculator. That means everything you punch in you're doing by hand. Really, at that point it's easier just to type in the decimal part in parenthesis where needed.
Actually, I'm just not sure how you could use that well on a scientific calculator. It only truly makes sense when working with variables.
@jakebrake I would definitely only use that with a variable. In almost anything else it makes more sense just to type in the number yourself as you go. Perhaps a button like that could indeed help if it is something you repeat a lot (though I can't imagine repeating usage of this a lot?)
That’s not the 84 running python that’s how the TI calculator evaluates the function. If I opened python I’d get the same answer as I did on my computer running python.
There's a definitional difference. Python describes the int() function as returning the integer portion and Excel (and I'm guessing the calculator as well) defines it as rounding down to the nearest integer. So -3.8 rounds down to -4, where python returns the integer portion, -3. To be clear, I really don't like the Excel definition.
The calculator must be doing something kinda wrong, because integers are whole numbers. In python if you don't want it cutting off the decimal it'd be a float (short for floating point).
Python evaluates int(x) as [x], whereas TI evaluates it as [|x|]*sign(x), I think - i,e, using the square brackets to mean the largest integer less than x. It's not rounding, I would guess.
just piling on here: I would have defined it as your Python does (the integer part).
I just asked Common Lisp what it does (my current learn-a-computer-language hobby) and it doesn't pre-define an integer function. The manual says "The ceiling, floor, round and truncate functions convert floating point or rational numbers to integers".
splitting an integer into the whole number and decimal parts are two of the most common operations I do as a programmer. (usually in situations where i want to trim off the fractional part and use only the whole number)
i imagine for math education it would be useful if the calculator also has a decimal -> fraction function, so kids can convert 2.375 to 2-3/8 maybe useful in metric-imperial conversions?

Belgium strikes back: Kaja Kallas, in her EU role, is pressuring Belgium to go along with the EU’s illegal seizure of Russian assets. Before she took on that position, though, Kallas was prime minister of Estonia. Her actions now are subject to national laws and police are now conducting searches of the diplomatic service, the College of Europe and private residences for evidence of Kallas’ “procurement fraud, corruption, and criminal conflicts of interest”.
Emerging from lurkdom to note that Boss's newsletter is out, and he told me if it does well this month, I don't have to emerge from my bunker until February. And my bunker is comfy. Help me stay in my bunker please.
It’s December 2nd, so I technically cheated by not publishing this newsletter on the last Tuesday of November. But we had this little 🦃 holiday here in the US last week, so we decided to push publication to this week.

@penwing (they/them) Sure it's not a temperature issue? Yeast requires warmth to multiply and rise, this time of year there ain't much unless you provide it artificially.
@nanook my last time was when it was warmer... And I've never had this problem before in the flat. But it's been airing cupboard and above warming oven, so...
@penwing (they/them) Ok, for what it's worth, I place the doe in pans on top of the stove and turn the oven on low with paper towels across the top so there is some warmth radiating up from the oven. This seems to work consistently well.
Masked, Armed “New Republican Movement” Threatens Northern Ireland Far-Left Politicians — Cites Mass Immigration and Child Indoctrination as Reasons They Are Now “Legitimate Targets”
A disturbing new video out of Northern Ireland is going viral after three masked, armed men appeared on camera declaring that local far-left politicians are now “legitimate targets.
Lara Trump opened her segment by asking Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to respond to comments from former President Barack Obama, who dismissed recent disclosures as meaningless.
Lara Trump said, “Director Gabbard, give me your response to what we heard from former President Obama there. He’s saying that none of this makes any sense, that this is a distraction. What do you say to that?”
Gabbard said the reaction from Obama and his allies followed a familiar pattern.
“It’s the art of deflection coming from former President Obama, as well as his friends who are still in Congress today, and Senator Warner and Congressman Jim Himes really all basically saying that exact same statement, which doesn’t actually address the issue that was revealed in great detail in the over 100 documents that we released last week, in the documents that we will be releasing later this week,” she said.
