One might think that the function `save_to_disk()` would, well, save your dataset in a form that can be loaded by the aptly-named `load_dataset()`. But one would be wrong. I'm mystified by @hf.co's API sometimes. 😵💫

It is dangerous and irresponsible to call the Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA and other top-tier research publications "corrupt." If you care about research, regardless of your political views, you should be alarmed at this news.

Call me cynical, but this is not helping matters. Yes, the ad suggests some legitimately good uses of the product, but I couldn't help hearing "wink wink, nudge nudge" as the subtext.

No, com.docker.socket will not damage your Mac, but you might start seeing messages like that. If you do, try removing Docker and reinstalling it: `brew uninstall --cask docker --force`, `brew install --cask docker`.

I just returned from a national meeting where there was a lot of talk about consolidation of academic departments and reduction or elimination of general education requirements. Where is the playbook that administrators across the country are following?

Time to got to bed. My latest version of a chatbot just told me that Vergil was the first Latin writer to write in Latin. It goes on to say "The Latin word for "author" is "vergil," which means "the author of a work of literature." In other words, it means the author who wrote the work." Just … wow.
