Today I’ve been wondering what sort of boundaries and policy we could set around use of ChatGPT in our secondary school classrooms. So I asked the source, and this was the first response. A great start for a discussion and for us to work with. Time saver, what?!?!

ChatGPT’s ability to parse and explain code is really quite impressive (try it!) but you can’t really trust the reasoning.
Myles Abbott retweeted
But how? What kind of impressive code could deliver a 2-3x speed boost?
“Redesigned using native components.”
I’ve been building native apps for ~12 years now, all the time having folks try to tell me web-based technologies will beat native. They continue to be wrong.

I'm getting tired of missed opportunities to respond appropriately to #COVID19Aus.
- hamfisted vaccine procurement
- playing states off against each other
- mismanagement of medical advice about vaccine risk/benefit
Now, an underwhelming vaccine campaign.
Will we never learn?

A fascinating thread on the science of the Coronavirus outbreak, following the trail of preprints. Demonstrates beautifully how science is done and why it works. Note that you’re seeing science being done in real time - not peer reviewed - some of the conclusions may be wrong.

We need to go offshore sometimes to get the facts.
I’ve had a number of messages saying that the media is ignoring arson as a major cause of the Australia bushfire crisis. Well, we looked at it today. Arson is not a major part of why these fires are so widespread and so severe. Here’s why. Produced @courtbembridge.

I completed my 1st data science project ~30 years ago. Since then I've been continuously developing a questionnaire I use for all new data projects, to ensure the right info is available from the start.
I'm sharing it publicly today for the first time.

October 1990. National Geographic feature on climate change nails the future we are now living 30 years later. Damn those scientists and their truth-telling #climatecrisis – at Hastings District, New Zealand

Aussies could now face 5 years in prison or $50k fine for not handing over passwords & pin numbers to all electronic devices when asked. You don't have to be suspected of committing a crime or even at an airport.

australia on top... of the ranking of greenhouse gas emissions per capita!
the average australian is responsible for 4x the CO₂ emissions of the average global citizen...
...and @AngusTaylorMP‘s solution is creative accounting and lies. 🤷🏻♂️

Only Lex could take the discussion through a whole lot of compiler geekery (llvm, gcc, clang, mlir), some of the internal challenges getting swift to market, my opinion of Elon’s secret to Tesla working, up to Google’s incredible lead in AI accelerators: hw/sw co-design on TPUs👍
Here's my conversation with Chris Lattner (@clattner_llvm) on the Artificial Intelligence podcast. He is one of the top experts in the world on compilers and powerful software+ML+hardware systems in general, w/ exciting projects at Google, Tesla, & Apple. youtube.com/watch?v=yCd3CzGS…

This is insane @Coles The only good part of this was the 15c charge, which would change people’s behavior over time. Without it you have ONLY brought in thicker plastic bags. smh.com.au/business/companie…
