Some of this is just too on the nose.
I talked with the @latimes.com @hayleysmith.bsky.social about the Administration promising to lower electricity bills while also blocking new sources of clean energy supply. When demand is spiking because of AI and the government is blocking supplies, prices go up. www.latimes.com/environment/...

🧵 Today I've been thinking about how the ideas that birthed the world we live in have run their course. We're now living the graveyard of those ideas.
And for bonus points, yes "and we can do this via sinkhorn iteration"
Having done this myself, I feel like the whole genre of "take paper that uses KL, observe existence of metric on base set, say that we need wasserstein" can now be outsourced to AI
News story from @brown.edu about the CNTR AISLE Project we launched yesterday. www.brown.edu/news/2026-03...
Me: "I’ve come to realize how invaluable AISLE is as an educational experience for the many students in technical and non-technical disciplines interested in AI policy. "
Related to this, this is an interesting post by a former colleague: john.regehr.org/writing/clau...
where he says that the KINDS of bugs that CCC introduces are just very weird.
A fascinating note by Don Knuth describing how Claude helped resolve a conjecture that he had posed for an upcoming chapter of TACP. I'm now worried that he will get distracted again, produce something incredible, and TACP will once again wither away :). www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/paper...
Nope. I was in Delhi, and we didn't need Calculus to be made easy there <FLEX>. We just read the very cryptic Russian books :)
It always felt like he was just trolling the copyright system for lulz
This is absolutely frightening
We talk more about the motivation for this effort and where we are headed, here: cntr.brown.edu/news/2026-03...
It's been a journey of nearly 3 years, but I'm very excited to announce the CNTR AISLE Portal! 🚀 cntr-aisle.org It’s a new way to review and evaluate the 1,000+ AI bills introduced in the U.S. over the last three years. Check out the Bill Library and our Profiles#AIPolicy #OpenData

It's a good thing we now live in a shame-free world.

Would have been weird if someone saw the gap between policy and rhetoric coming, right @costasamaras.com @geomblog.bsky.social?
Critical and important use of Claude code. had it code up a web calculator to see what Pakistan needs to do to make the semifinals of the T20 WC. @shriram.bsky.social @ccanonne.github.io @8bitcricket.bsky.social
Much of this resonates with discussions in the Indian American political sphere where there are similar splits, concerns, and "how could you" arguments.
They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
Why hasn't Disney used the Muppets to duplicate what Warner Bros. did with Lego movies? We could be 10 episodes deep into Muppet Star Wars, Muppet Marvel, Muppet Indiana Jones. Hell, Muppet Avatar would make more sense than the actual series.
