@mgrass Notice the city leaders allegedly interested in mitigating climate change putting pressure on downtown/SLU businesses to allow work at home to continue? Neither do I.

Trying to suspend judgement on Bluesky after signing up a few hours ago, but already getting some bot-ish followers that I haven't seen on my six months on Mastodon.

Really enjoyed this Sean Carroll podcast with Tobias Warnecke on, among other things, the remarkable recent discovery of histones in bacteria. Very accessible even if it's been a long time since high school biology. https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2023/04/24/234-tobias-warnecke-on-cellular-structure-and-evolution/

@digiphile Well, if you use the those numbers Biden is 4/7 for solo pressers going back to Reagan and 2/4 for 21st century presidents. The problem here is that it's easy to spin these numbers to get the story you want.

@digiphile Not sure how you're calculating this since 21 press conferences in 24 months (two years) is about 1/month.

@digiphile @nytimes According to Leonhardt's numbers in that article, Biden averaged about one press conference per month and one interview every two weeks. Not sure what the problem is unless you're a White House correspondent who wants to churn out more low effort articles.

@ct_bergstrom No need to go to Denver! Only a few slots remaining.

@ct_bergstrom Isn't that Post 3 months ago?

@jeffjarvis Have to say that a mention of your 33 year old Phi Beta Kappa in your bio is pretty weird too.

@labarba Odd, though, that they didn't weigh these risks against the cost and risks of porting the code. And pretty sure that they could find people willing to learn if they pay enough.

@JenLucPiquant Ah yes, rebranding of web3 stripped of any crypto/blockchain woo-woo. Great journalism.

@inthehands @erictopol Anecdotal, but tried the first post in the subreddit they used for the study in ChatGPT. The med pros forcefully suggested urgent care/ER while ChatGPT responded generically with "call your physician".

@ct_bergstrom You'd think Elon's expensive legal team would check for stuff like this, but there's still a blog entry on the Tesla site that makes the same claim. https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-tesla-cars-being-produced-now-have-full-self-driving-hardware

@akurjata You’d think people would learn that a social media service run by a billionaire is problematic but I guess not.

@tonic "Solve 97% of High School Math Problems". Sounds legit.

@ct_bergstrom Really interesting paper and surprised that no one mentioned violin plots for comparing the distributions.
