New book acquired: Sinykin and Winant’s Close Reading in the Twenty-First Century. Going to draw on it in my ongoing campaign to get students more comfortable writing about style and technique rather than ‘messages’ and ‘themes’, which seems to be the legacy of A-levels.

As flu season gets underway, global health experts are increasingly worried about a new strain of the virus that popped up in June — four months after the makeup of this year’s flu shots had been decided.
Warnings rise for U.S. as severe flu strain causes outbreaks in Canada, U.K.
A flu strain that emerged over the summer is causing "unprecedented" outbreaks in Japan, as well as in Canada and the U.K. The CDC hasn't provided insights on flu in the U.S. in nearly two months.

Obviously these people are, on a literal, factual level, insane. But it's interesting to think about this in terms of what it suggests about the actual function of bus fares and similar user fees: to keep undesirable people out of public spaces.

The biggest effects? Not in cities — but in rural counties with:
⬆️ More Black residents
💸 Lower incomes
⚪ Stronger racial animus
Academies made segregation affordable for families who couldn’t move or pay for elite private schools.

The student attended a "segregation academy," an all-white private school established in the 1950s, 60s, or 70s to maintain school segregation.
We know little about how these schools, called "the most important form of local resistance", affected public schools and students.

This is technical and medical malpractice. People running RCTs need to have a strong qualitative understanding of the context and data generating processes related to their trials. We should ask at least as much of “disruptive” technologies.
flat out lies. these tech ceos take regulators and the masses for fools
![“If you want to know how a model will behave, the only way of doing it is to run it,” Mensch also suggested. “You do need to have some empirical testing, what’s happening. Knowing the input data that has been used for training is not going to tell you whether your model is going to behave well in [a healthcare use-case], for instance. You don’t really care about what’s in the training data. You do care about the empirical behaviour of the model. So you don’t need knowledge of the training data. And if you had knowledge of the training data, it wouldn’t even teach you whether the model is going to behave well or not. So this is why I’m saying it’s neither necessary nor sufficient.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:26hkfmtr7jrchexamh7hk6rz/bafkreibp7oaeovg7xt43dlk3qtmkft6irldgf44tz75sbaiqvoqdq4kpjy@jpeg)
