I'm thinking browser addon that checks tweets before you see them and can block people automatically. Possibly a use case of ai for good. It'd have to be a local model fully under user control to be trustable though. That's why it would have to be a browser addon.

I've always heard eclipses are the easy debunk for missing time stuff. Craziest part is how far back we can track sub-second drift in day length based on which cities were covered by the Moon's shadow. (Leap seconds are such a mess. Turns out the Earth's rotation isn't even predictable 😭)

At that scale, they should just put one standard lecture on youtube (where you can fast forward and rewind), and put the class in a slack channel with TAs and a prof.

Diversity is good. Shifting the acceptance bar based on race never really sat right with me because of how much it screws over asian students. The whole idea of the "get in or not" binary is messed up.

Python has a "can do" attitude. I've been using it in place of bash scripts. Is there an even better language I could use there?

I just want hashtags to be clickable. That's just a regex search replace on the text of each post, right? `s/\b(#[^ ]+)\b/\1<\/a>/gc`, or something like that.
