You can't hide from your constituents forever, Dave. Side note for Pittsburgh pals: Cadence Clubhouse is an extension of Pro Bike & Run. Stop giving them your money if you haven't already.

Shout out to the Coinbase scammer who spent 15 minutes on the phone trying to walk me through an unexpectedly difficult process of explaining apps and app stores to me. 🤣 Worrying that scammers can so easily get your name, email, and phone number though.

7yo wanted a breakfast he hadn't eaten before, so today we are off to Texas for some breakfast tacos.

Our teaching postdocs have a history of being amazing - and going on to great things and places. We value teaching highly, if that's your thing.

Here is a (poorly advertised!) postdoctoral role at CMU: the SCS Mark Stehlik Postdoctoral Teaching Fellowship. Still active and someone with interests in AI+teaching would address needs on our side. Applying by end of March should be early enough. apply.interfolio.com/124667

URGENT request for help: I need to build a case (soon) that justifies the "broader impact" of my research (yes, this is related to recent events in the US). If you have ever used Chartability or Data Navigator in your work in any capacity, I would love to know! Please email ([email protected]) or dm me.

As I drive back to the climbing gym to pick up 7-year-old's street shoes that he left there, I understand better why fairy tales involve trading new children for magical beans.

Today is still a good day not to buy a Tesla. EVs are pretty cool. There are many alternatives that don't support someone who wants to wants to enrich himself at the cost of medicare, social security, and US national security.

Pittsburgh is remarkably low risk for natural disasters, but the potholes and sinkholes might get us after all.

That was delightful. My wife is out of town and the only time I could schedule PT was 6:30 a.m. today. I got home at 7:50 to find both children dressed, packed, having eaten, prepared lunch, and ready to go. They really rise when no parent around. 😍 Now if only it happened when I was home, too! 😜

Apropos of nothing, the harder and faster protests, divestment, and discouraging Tesla purchases hit Tesla stock, the less window there is for insiders to dump shares at inflated prices. Just sayin'.

So, I run into this a lot when grabbing medical information off the Internet. I have a biology degree, was an EMT, and read a decent number of biomed papers yearly. And when I try to self-diagnose, I typically encounter a problem: It's the differential diagnosis that gets me every time. 1/5

Happy bring your kids to your office hours day to those who celebrate. (Their school believes president's day is a holiday. CMU does not.)

This was crazy. A friend just observed that songs were getting censored over headphones but not over speaker. A different friend identified this as the likely culprit: www.reddit.com/r/JonBellion... Dolby Atmos. Probably getting a different version of the song to support it.

Either wall street is stupid or I am, and I'm really curious to find out which way the cards fall in a year or so. Me, when the leopard says it's really hungry for faces or economy-destroying policies, I believe it.

Dear US citizens, thank you for being part of our comparative study on the impact of scientific funding on economic development. Since there have been questions, let me reiterate that the study protocol prohibits us from disclosing whether or not you are in the control group. Sincerely etc. /s 🧪

Here is a thread with some very clear thinking about the United States. I suspect you have had the majority of these thoughts already on your own but you might still find it grounding to see them organized
