I know category theory and the Leech lattice.

I assure you brethren, that this project is unmitigated AI derived fresh organic faeculent material.

A pile of steaming sh*t like our esteemed elders used to say.

".Some questioned how handing out reprints of an editorial published in the ADA’s own journal, at the ADA’s own annual conference, could be construed as a violation of that code.."

The God Emperor is not to be questioned.

Tomorrow Robert Kennedy will announce that diabetes is fake news,does not exist and can become cured by taking ivermectin and avoiding seed oils and Tylenol....

The next day Trump will have the 173rd Airborne kidnap the entire editorial board of the American Diabetic Association and will get them good plated with fake gilt from Temu.

So now Google is supporting fascism...
How many million graduate students do you need to give the US the military hegemony and political influence over allies and adversaries that the F-35 program provides ?

Looked at from a policy maker's viewpoint, things look very different.

I killed my Arch installation and was stuck at the GRUB prompt.Unwilling to brush up my rusty knowledge of GRUB syntax, I asked Gemini for help. The commands Gemini suggested would have wiped my hd...

Once Gemini was told that I was using BTRFS, the suggestion from Gemini looked a bit more sane, but still looked incorrect to me.

An Australian version of MAGA is on the way...

I know someone who is with a leading firm. He is involved in a new multibillion USD matter every month.

The clients simply do not care about the multimillion dollar legal bills, since it is just a rounding error at that scale.

I find it hard to see AI being integrated at that end of the market.

Thank you for your excellent book.

Your book is highly recommended in the Go community.

I will definitely be reading it once I finish "The Go programming language".
