I'm an experienced and well-published Software Engineering Professor. Take it from me: The best way to ship software with fewer known defects is to test less.

Not sure how to explain Aryabhatta's discoveries (ca. 5/6 centuries CE), in answer to this question, without sounding like a jokey smartass retort to a possibly racist question.

Immigrant: I’d like to apply for a mortgage. Bank: In applying, we’ll need employment & income, 5 years of tax returns, & funds to cover 20% down. Immig.: Uh, I’m here illegally, and I’m on welfare. Bank: As a Republican, we’ll give you a house that an American qualified for.

This is what you get when you mix the best selling single of the king of pop with the lately departed queen of MAGA: "MTG Has Broken Cover" 🎶🕺 - with a shout out to @awzurcher & colleagues for helpful coverage (despite, ya know, BBC awkward situation)

Now that Yann Lecun has left Meta: *NONE* of the (Hinton, Bengio, Lecun) Turing Award Laureates for deep learning are working for the Rich Plutocrats who run the ersatz "Magnificient 7" Corps Reminds of that age-old question: If You're so Rich, how come you ain't Smart?

Lots of thought-provoking questions in this video. Did the Indus Valley people practice Vedic Traditions? Was Ashoka a good king? Who was a good Indian king, really? Was India a "Hindu" country when other religions arrived?

Faculty IMO are caught between two poles: Institutional Hyper-vigilance and Social Media. Both poles amplify right- and left-wing Trolls, which, sadly, inhibits careful, in-depth analysis of the vital issues of the times. https://t.co/v4WwRxeSja

So what? In America, I've been visited 5 times by Mormon missionaries. They say their thing. I say not interested, but wanna come in for water, rest a bit? Some say yes, chat a bit, move on. Others move on right away. How insecure are your beliefs that this is a danger?

There is a lot of discussion around why NRIs aren’t coming back to build in India. I will state a reason which is not really talked about but something that makes me deeply uncomfortable and probably will make me unpopular. I dislike the deep encroachment of religious

Earth is now warming at 0.43 °C per decade. When we emerged from the last ice age, it took more than 700 years to warm by this much. Today it takes just 10. Not normal.

Suleman Pathan organised the village's Ganpati festival, all his friends were Hindu, he called them his jaan. Last week, some of his dearest friends lynched him for talking to a Hindu girl. Reporting on this heartbreaking story from a Maharashtra village. @Article14live
