It's worth noting the Times' removal (left) of the victim's gender from the headline, I think. Comparable recent headlines covering cisgender victims (right) seem to all identify their genders when known, and there's no indication of any doubt of the victim's gender in this case.

Whenever I see this notification I get briefly excited that maybe Google found a new paper of mine that I didn’t know about.

The comments made in the keynote were, I think pretty clearly, explicitly anti-Chinese. The below also seems to launder what happened — “[reinforcing] implicit biases by making generalizations” is more simply and clearly described as an expression of bias; in this case, racism.

I won’t be at SIGGRAPH Asia this year, but if you will, make sure to check out my colleagues’ and advisor’s excellent paper: www.cs.yale.edu/homes/wu-hao... It is the very first SIGGRAPH technical paper in history (!) to focus on simulating Black, Afro-texture hair, and it does a fantastic job.

One thing I appreciate about removable (e.g. m.2) storage on laptops (and that annoys me about the industry shift to soldered storage) is seamless migration between devices. I'm traveling today and swapped the system drive from my laptop into an older but more portable one. Everything works great.

I recently made a browser custom style to color-code my various Google accounts, and I find it very useful.

I've been trying out dlang for research code instead of C++ lately, and it's been really nice -- faster compilation, built-in loop parallelization (like OpenMP), running arbitrary code at compile time.
