But something I’d like to see as part of GE is a course in formal logic—potentially a requirement that could be met either with a comp sci course or with a philosophy course on symbolic logic or the like.

Not posted for agreement, if you share please leave my commentary intact, terms and conditions apply.
Like practically every other man, and every other human being regardless of gender, I'm strong in some ways, weak in others. Saying "strong men are ..." anything in particular is part of the problem: it carries with it the implication that men must be strong, in every way and all the time. Well, I feel good when I'm strong, but I'm trying really hard to learn not to beat myself up about weakness. That does nobody any good, not me and not the other people who want me in the world.
Same for other men: our ruthless enforcement of arbitrary rules of masculinity has a lot to do with why we have much higher rates of alcoholism and suicide. I went too far down that road once in my life. I'm not doing it again, and I'm not pushing anyone else down it either.
The older I get, the more I believe there's no real difference between "good man" and "good person who happens to be a man." Good *people* are protective and loving—when they need to be, and also capable of acknowledging when they themselves need protection and love. Good people also, of course, refrain from abuse and spite. When they feel themselves going in that direction, they try to understand what's driving their anger, and open up to the people who love them. The alternative is bottling it up until they lash out, at which point they're no longer good.
Mr. Aleczander's heart is in the right place, I'm sure. I don't criticize him or any man for struggling to reconcile ancient ideas of manhood with overall human decency. Let's all just try not to repeat the same mistakes.
@curtis This meme is accurate, it is deplorable for sure... then again the GOP is out there banning books sooo not looking any better on the other side either sadly.

Speaking of handwriting are there any AI handwriting generators that go beyond being a font? I know of some fancy handwriting fonts with many built in joins and combinations of letters— but can we get something that generates stuff like this:
I’m imagining a program that would suggest swooshes and looptiloops and swoops as you write by hand on a tablet.
@futurebird That example of the word "copperplate" is heaven... as much as my handwriting has improved and is respectable and all its nowhere near that :)
@dave How about make american products better and more affordable rather than forcing people to buy overpriced junk?

Can you write in cursive?
@futurebird Yes, but only slow and beautiful (calligraphy)... my fast cursive is nonexistant
@georgetakei All praise the electronic god!
A stray cat insisted on some snuggles with me and my girlfriend.

@freemo This is my dream.
The problem isnt that he was once racist and changed, though that is a tough pill to swallow. The issue is tbe lack of remorse. Never an apology.
It doesnt help how transparent the minority pandering is either. So much so he will pick a vice president with a horrific record just because she is a minority rather than picking someone qualified.
I think everyone is looking at this the wrong way.. Its better to think of ML as a human being in a sense.. It will behave like whomever it learns from. If it learns from how other people in general behave, it will mimic that. If people are biased and racist the AI will be bias and racist... AI should not be seen as something that can be better than a human, it can just do what humans do, with all the flaws of a human.
