If someone calls claiming to be from your financial institution - even if they sound very much like what you'd expect from a bank and say that it's an urgent matter - ask them for a case reference number and tell them you'll call them back at the 1-800 number on the bank's website.
The fraudsters are really out in force at the moment.

Oh that was FAST fast.
GPT-2 output detectors work for GPT-3 and GPTChat, which means people who do stuff like turnitin plagiarism checks have a tool for this fast-moving new frontier.
Personally, I do a choose-your-own adventure/create-your-own-assignment model for most of my non-intro classes, at this point, and frankly i'd be inclined to make this into an assignment, in its own right. It could look something like:
"Generate a GPTChat output on [topic(s)], then expand on and correct the output with specific references and citations from class readings and lectures. Turn in the prompt, the original, and your corrections as your full submission."
Reframe it like that and it helps them think about what the GPT platforms are and do, and then you can integrate that into the whole of the semester's work, rather than making it an arms race of plagiarism and "Gotcha" tools.

Thought this afternoon's birding expedition was going to be a bit of a bust after various public transport mishaps and was plodding grumpily along the trail on Kingman Island when I saw my first DC Bald Eagle and my mood instantly went from 😠 to ☺️.

Do whatever you can to tell the author that you liked their book, if you indeed did. For those of us who aren't ever going to make a living at this, good reviews are the best thing we can reasonably expect to happen when it comes to our writing. I had a coworker tell me today she read Girl on the Moon and was "enthralled" and she's on book 2 now. It really made my day. #writing #WritingCommunity
Thread about #UnivalentCombinatorics, in the sense of @egbertrijke.
Usually people think of #ConstructiveMathematics as being more restrictive than #ClassicalMathematics.
In this thread, I want to give a concrete example illustrating that constructive mathematics is more general than classical mathematics.

I write about old and new(ish) key papers in my fields at my #blog https://updatedscholar.blogspot.com/ . Not a tweeter, but wanted to see if Mastodon worked for me instead!
Why cubical type theory, and why cubical Agda?
The discussion in this thread is going to be a bit technical in several fronts. Sorry.
I was meaning to write this for a while, but this discussion motivated me to write this now:

@hacks4pancakes As an introvert with social anxiety, I actually find it much easier to do this in an online setting than iRL. I can simply mute the social channels and only check them & participate when I have the social energy for it while in the office it was much harder to avoid burning out socially. One of the many reasons I have been working remotely for the last 14 Years and much happier with it.
A consciousness somehow associated with matter.
