"First studies from new faith-based university coalition find systematic religious bias in AI models

Researchers at Baylor, BYU, Notre Dame, Yeshiva find vast gap between user expectations of religious representation and answers from ChatGPT"

For clarity, he has a master's degree, not a Ph.D.

Via NYTime Nov. 16, 1998 article "Compressed Data; Stanford Gave Writer A Start, but Not a Ph.D." -

"The San Francisco Chronicle reported last week that Mr. Stephens had not been a professor at Stanford University and had not earned a doctorate there, as he had claimed."

"A university spokeswoman said that Mr. Stephens had worked as a teaching assistant and earned only a master's degree."

Thanks for your research and correction of my error.

To clarify, I simply made a (minor) recall mistake on a website's comment section which was rapidly (within 1 hour) corrected. There is no legal tort case for fraud or defamation given the (minor) inaccuracy and lack of redressable harm or injury.

Mr. Cringely, on the other hand, overtly lied (for years in widely published writings, videos, and in public corporate filings) about having a PHD which is legitimately even worse than lying about having an MS.

"The parent said, 'Only through questioning teachers and school administrators did we learn the researchers would put stickers on children who opted out, but no further information was provided on whether they would still be filmed.'"

That labeling I'm sure would have social consequences- singling out people and giving them a label is a path toward exclusion in other activities and make wearing a sticker a sigma... :(

As a practical matter, it's also just stupid. Preschoolers will take off stickers all the time.

edit: fixed piratical typo

Ar matey, I am confused about your comments. Will the Preschoolers be sailing off on the high seas?

Not the star they wanted

until the kids start trading stickers with each other.

"the user dumped their entire college computer files in Claude in a last-gasp effort."

Claude has limits that would make this simple statement be much more complicated-

Via Claude "So the chat upload file size limit is actually 500MB per file (not 30MB as many third-party sources claim - those appear to be outdated). The 20-file-per-chat cap and the 30MB-per-file limit in Projects remain consistent across plans. The real constraint at any subscription level remains the context window - how many tokens Claude can hold in memory at once during a conversation. "

> Claude has limits that would make this simple statement be much more complicated-

I guess the user simply pointed Claude Code at a local folder containing all the backups and files, and Code went through them via find/ls/etc

10 years ago a 500mb hard drive was not unheard of and he may not have maxed out his storage. Also, cloud storage is more prevalent now. I must admit this does sound a bit sensational.

FYI Page certificate is bad (expired, wrong, etc.).

Author here. D’oh! Thanks for catching that. I have no idea what I’m doing web dev wise and made this site to talk about my APL experience. Will try to fix this when time permits.

I see nothing wrong here: Firefox and Chromium are both happy.

Qualys doesn't find any problems (though it's possible OP fixed them since your comment). The only clients that fail are Windows XP and 10 year old Mac OS/iOS.

Thanks for the details :)

I was half expecting you to find the Pixter Color VM to be a Forth like interpreter ;)

I was expecting either that or some lobotomised Java VM since everyone was crazy about it at the time

both forth and java would have made more sense than a custom vm. not sure why they went this way on ARM. on 6502 it makes sense though. small cpu -> custom work needed

does "yes, I deleted the data" in an email count as digital evidence?

Time to start a project to make a handcrafted lacquer face for some other calculators; I have a few HP-80 (https://www.hpmuseum.org/hp80.htm) to test the idea on ;)

My father was a big HP calculator fan. I used to forget my TI calculator for class and he would lend it to me.

I was never more unpopular at school than the day we had an exam and I was learning RPN on a calculator that beeped every time you hit the wrong key.
