Introducing The CS50 Show, wherein Professor David J. Malan not only talks about current events in technology but also explains them to you.

I'm thrilled to share my first foray into nature writing. I describe my travels through Aotearoa New Zealand to see the country's rarest birds—and use this as a vehicle to tell the stories of the islands' evolutionary history and the bold conservation efforts that saved these creatures. Gift link

This is #50seconds on Binary Digits with Professor @davidjmalan.bsky.social.

So excited to see another banded tarāpuka (the most endangered gull species in the world, aka black-billed gull). Reported it to the DOC bird banding tracking system too. Last banded one we spotted was in 2023. Haven't seen this particular bird before. #aonz #birds #AotearoaBirds 🇳🇿🪶

Amen! #GenAI #humanity

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Be patient and kind to those who are making art right now. We're all self-funded and the richest, worst people in the world are trying to plaster over and erase our hard work.

do you think the people who designed AI integration into basic apps realize how just obnoxious some of the AI "tools" are? "do you want me to summarize this email?" the email I just wrote? why? "I can summarize this article!" do you think I don't know how to read

This 🧵 pulls it all together. Didn't most of us see this coming? But good to get the receipts.

Introduce yourself with 10 acts you’ve seen live In no particular order … The B-52s Neil Diamond Crosby Stills & Nash Fleetwood Mac Simon & Garfunkel Toni Childs Glen Campbell Helen Reddy Stevie Nicks The Eagles tbh, it's been a long time.

I might just pin this here.📌 I know we often agree to disagree, but in reality WE are all we have. Our singular goal is to make Luxon & co a #OneTermGovernment and the only way to do that is through authentic & purposeful Kotahitanga. The rest can be worked out in coalition negotiation. #nzpol #NZ🕊️

"The healthcare “boost”, announced by Health Minister Simeon Brown last year, was promoted as the “largest-ever funding uplift to GP clinics” and intended to improve access to primary care" Deceptive and dishonest! #nzpol #healthnz www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361...

There was a #silvereye flitting around the wattle tree, in and out of shadow, behind the foliage, etc. I thought, I'm just gonna snap the shutter and maybe I'll get something. So I was quite pleased when I loaded my card and this wee face was staring at me. :). #birds #AoNZ 🪶🇳🇿

Ardern documentary 'Prime Minister' wins Emmy Award

‼️Look at this insanely perfect shot my husband just captured with his phone. We're both very sad he didn't have a real camera, but this is still amazing.

Bravo young sir!

well that's all i need to know.

even as cynical as I am I certainly didn't predict this government would disestablish the *Ministry for the Environment* No NZ government should be able to survive doing something like this, given the values of the electorate enormous amounts of money, institutional & media backing have enabled it

This is what we need yt for. :)

Otherwise, the article was perfect
