Lynn Conway. She was an icon, absolutely pivotal in how we design semiconductor chips. Her work with Carver Mead - groundbreaking, a huge impact on the sort of work I do, and the research problems I think about.
She was excellent, the absolute best.
.@realDonaldTrump GUILTY of 34 felonies per jury of 12 random citizens (none sought job).
GOP faces choice. USA future at stake.
Keep Trump as nominee & gamble USA’s future.
OR
Replace Trump with a good character nominee & BEAT THE STEW OUT OF BIDEN!

So here's a story of, by far, the weirdest bug I've encountered in my CS career.
Along with @maciejwolczyk we've been training a neural network that learns how to play NetHack, an old roguelike game, that looks like in the screenshot. Recenlty, something unexpected happened.
Again, a moment to pause & appreciate the cool professionalism of those in & around the Key Bridge at 1:24 am Tuesday.
Ship’s pilot radios in that ship has lost steerage & will hit bridge.
Someone (maritime control?) transmits urgent alert to Maryland/Balt police dispatch…

@PatrickGr My first real programming language was Pascal. I got to say hello to him at a Turing awards event (we rode in an elevator together; I did my best not to freak out).
It is with great remorse that we mark the passing of programming language pioneer and A.M. Turing Laureate Niklaus Wirth, who passed away on Jan 1, 2024. Wirth developed a sequence of innovative computer languages, EULER, ALGOL-W, MODULA and PASCAL, which provided a foundation for future computer language, systems, and architectural research. https://t.co/kRDkNBakuU
@DC_Draino@ryanjreilly You don't actually believe there's election fraud, though. It's just a lie you tell, so that you can grift off of stupid people.
It's the same schtick from when Cruz beat Donnie in the Iowa caucuses.
You're a liar. You know it. Everyone knows it.

Our PhD student Mohammad Khasawneh defended his dissertation last week! Congratulations to Dr. Khasawneh and his advisor @PatrickHMadden. It was a long journey, but you did it!
@CarterCenter Rest well, Miss Rosalynn. It was an honor to meet her in 1976, when we passed through Plains and stopped in at a grocery store. We got an autograph, and it meant a lot to our family.
