LLMs have killed so many things over the years, I've lost count. But what happened to #StackOverflow can't be ignored.
In the latest edition of #BeingBayesian, I tried to see what happened to SO's traffic, users, the topics and the quality of the posts.

Akshaye Khanna, the GOAT. Completely transforms himself for each role. Almost unrecognisable in this Drishyam 3 poster.

bribes.fyi/ - report bribes demanded from you.
TIL that the `≤` operator works on sets in #Python, and evals to "is subset of?"
Its one of those patterns that an LLM's scratchpad code throws up once in a while.
I'd have done something slightly more verbose like `.issubset`, etc.

heartbreaking
The farmer, Selvi, along with her son Balamurugan, a dentist, had maintained a diverse and naturally cultivated farm of over 100 trees, including mango, teak, mahogany, and papaya

I'm so freakin sick of how Claude talks.
It's not just annoying, it's infuriating.
The honest evaluation: it's the precise mechanism driving my current headache.
It's the load-bearing root cause of my daily stress.
It's genuinely painful, and that matters.
Re-read Fred Brooks's "No Silver Bullet" after ~a decade. Last time I was too young to fully understand it; in the interim I grew too jaded... Today my stance has changed on what Brooks calls the accidental difficulties in software engineering.

#BREAKING
Justice Ujjal Bhuyan: Collegium must give reasons for judicial appointments. By not doing so, "we also create space for individuals to enter the judiciary who may later describe groups of people as 'ants' and make remarks that are wholly unconstitutional." #SupremeCourt

Cockroach Janta Party withdraws its nationwide agitation with immediate effect
All demands of the Cockroach Janta Party have been accepted by the government:
1. Maximum possible compensation for families of NEET paper leak-related suicides
2. All FIRs by Central govt and NDA-ruled states will be withdrawn, and no action will be taken against anyone involved in these protests in the future.
3. CJP’s 5-point exam reform charter will be considered by the govt and the CJP will meet with the govt to discuss these reforms further.
Thank you.
Hardly surprising. Whoever perpetuates a system that makes you look like a visionary must be fine public servant indeed.
Shri Dharmendra Pradhan is one of the finest public servants I know. He cares deeply about the youth of this nation, and particularly about rural students. We have had many discussions on how to better skill our rural youth.
I am sad to see him resign. He has put the nation above self, and my respect for him is even greater now.
Thank you for your service Pradhan-ji, please keep fighting the good fight 🙏
You started this.
And you said you're not interested in watching videos of police brutality.
#BREAKING Chief Justice of India Surya Kant refutes reports that he refused to list petition against police action on student protests.
CJI says there was no petition filed in the #SupremeCourt, and a lawyer had mentioned only a letter representation. CJI says it was irresponsible and reckless reporting by the media.
"In last two days, a completely false statement was made that a matter was filed, and the media is absolutely free from all responsibility, falsely reporting that Chief Justice refused to list the matter. Till morning 10 AM, not a single page has been filed. It was one representation..sent by that Mishra or someone. How can I treat the representation as a writ petition? And people start recklessly reporting this," CJI says.

While the Supreme Court called it a waste of its time to examine videos of the crackdown, the SCBA and SCAORA demanded an impartial inquiry into the police action against Chalo Sansad protesters.
