    Tuxies are all lunkheads. We gave a tuxie kitten and a sweet little gray kitten to my BIL Jim in Green Bay. The tuxie got huge - and loved to climb on Jim's bald head - and then put his claws in to hold on.

    Jim would roar like a wounded buffalo. Jim wanted to name him F*cler, but his wife made him change it to Tucker.

    Ecch.... in a just world, you'd be one of the few I'd save.

    I guess I was in my twenties when I had a horrific Moment of Enlightenment. I realized how stupid the vast majority of people have become. Not merely stupid, but vicious and selfish and just generally hateful. And there is no bottom to it.

    What's worse, it's like Bob Dylan asked "When will they ever learn?"

    The answer is, they don't.

    The "scarcity" of Nvidia hardware has mad Nvidia the most valuable company in the world. At first this seemed like good news to me, since the economy needs to move in a new direction, the most valuable company should be a fresh name.

    Unfortunately since this value is based on actions between Tesla and X of all companies I think it's ... perhaps a little artificial. Are "AI capable chips" really such hot items. Or has the very public performance to get them just made people think they are?

    Every time I teach “intro” I dread, but also love the “binary encoding activity” This is about trying to get students to think about what they need to do to encode first a limited set, but then open ended messages in binary (no spaces! no line breaks!)

    They quickly reinvent concepts like “code should be in chunks of uniform length” and ways to signal the start and end of different encoding methods. It’s kinda chaotic but went well today.

    The various codes the students tried some better than others.

    Martha-Ann Bomgardner is Sam Alito’s wife. Surprising to complain of ‘femnazis’ with a maiden name! Or not surprising; as she knows very little about the people she assumes hate her- the people she imagines out to get her. She didn’t sign up to be a public figure: she has not taken it well at all. But, like Trump, at the root of her unhappiness is a failure to feel accepted by the fancy people— an entitlement for adoration, shock when in the mirror of the press she sees her own mid nature.

    The EU parliament elections have turned Denmark upside down.

    All my life, Danish politics has been dominated by two parties: The Social Democrats which is centrist and Venstre which is financially more liberal but also centrist.

    Now, The Social Democrats loses 6 percent of the vote and only barely keeps 3 seats, and Venstre is halved from 4 down to 2 seats.

    Most impressingly, the climate focused, socialist party SF becomes the biggest party and gains a third seat.

    Arthropods can get humongous. The main reason they don't is they are far too tempting targets for warm-blooded vertebrates.

    But about that? Why couldn't an arthropod also be warm-blooded? Maybe some were.

    And that thing you heard about "giant insects needed higher O2 levels" also questionable. Arthroplura was still around after the levels crashed... something else ended the golden age.

These are black field ants, you can tell them from carpenter ants because they are shiner, only come in one size (no majors with big heads) and their thorax has a dent rather than a hump.

    All these sites start out with a lovely core of people who understand the possibilities.

    @Laffy I kinda had to give this some thought. I wrote something on Hope the other day, thinking about what you'd said back in March.

    I have a secret belief we are what we do. Everyone around us is suffering. We must not only accept the good news, we must propagate that good news.

    I am a rather bad example of that principle - heh - but I stiil believe it's true

    Thinking about judges wigs and other trappings of power.

    Apparently in Poland when they have legal court everyone wears robes: different colors for attorneys and the judge etc.

    Of course in the UK judges still wear wigs which US judges are free to wear too, but simply don't.

    On the US Supreme court it's just black robes-- Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, and Stephen Breyer have all tried to make skull caps happen but no one else cared.

    US Supreme Court justices only some of them bother with the skull cap.

    Aww... you can wear a wizard's cap.

    Everyone kinda wears a wizard's cap. Everyone's excellent in some regard: I know this sounds kinda pollyanna-ish, but if you're any good as a consultant, you can interview people and find that excellence.

    It's how I overcame a great deal of fear, early on.
