As the author of this PDF, it's been interesting seeing people guess at the rationale behind its design. However, the rationale had nothing to do with theory vs practice, and everything to do with pragmatically coping with an unaccommodated disability in academia. (1/16)

Compilers was was known to be the hardest CS class at Cornell which was hard as it is. We were handed a 8-page PDF at the start of sem for a language spec we'd be implementing by the end of sem, split into 6 parts. On part 5, the median was a 0/100 and most the class failed.

Berkeley, UCSF and UW jointly announced the creation of the Weill Neurohub to "bring together world-class researchers" and distribute a generous donor gift. Can't put my finger on what seems off about their Leadership Committee... @BiasWatchNeuro

From someone who has studied this field for over 2 decades, I can comfortably say that virtually everything said here is inaccurate. It is incredibly disturbing to me that someone claiming to be a scientist can talk with such authority on something they clearly know nothing about

Yay! Three years after @raoult_didier @Pr_Chabriere_E and @IHU_Marseille filed a complaint against me for harassment and blackmail, the Marseille Procureur tells me today they could not find any grounds for criminal prosecution.
