Oop- here's the actual headache <:'D took it a while to follow up after the visual migraine😬

Omg I had the scariest thing happen <:D

Suddenly a weird kaleidoscope-esque oval shape appeared in my vision on the left and just wouldn't go away

After a bit it expanded and kept chilling there, then grew more and was at the very bottom left of my vision...

It did go away eventually but holy shit I'm scared <:D

Peeps over on bsky (and Zimt on here👀) did point out that it could've been a visual migraine/migraine with an aura

Wild that migraines can happen without a headache apparently!! 'Cause I didn't experience any pain at all when that weird blurry oval happened

It does make sense tho since aura migraines usually have this zigzag outline to them which I did experience tho mine was so weird!! It looked like a slightly broken/glitchy screen where you can see the matrix of it going ham

Hope I will never experience this again 'cause HOLYYY SHITT that was terrifying.. legit thought I was going blind..

Today, Ukraine became the first. The first country in the world against which an intercontinental ballistic missile was used.

let's goooo незламний народе first in everything amirite -----------------------------------

no one cares

I don't care what you say. This is the harsh truth. No one gives a fuck if our nation lives or dies.

To use intercontinental missile to strike Dnipro. That's gotta be the most ridiculously expensive temper tantrum ever.

Ukraine.ua posted about the 11th anniversary of the Revolution of Dignity on Nov. 21, 2024.

They have provided a helpful article that summarizes how Ukraine chose its European path, what the Revolution of Dignity meant to Ukrainians, and how it is significant during russia's full-scale invasion.

November 21st is the Day of Dignity and Freedom. On this day, Ukrainians ignited two revolutions against tyranny and injustice: The orange revolution in 2004 and the Euromaidan revolution in 2013-2014.

On 21 November, Ukraine commemorates the Day of Dignity and Freedom, honoring pivotal moments in its history that underscore the nation’s fight for independence, democracy, and the rule of law. This date marks the anniversary of the 2004 Orange Revolution and the 2013-14 Euromaidan Revolution, also known as the Revolution of Dignity, two popular uprisings that defined Ukraine’s resistance against Russian authoritarianism and its determination to embrace a pro-European future. Euromaidan began on 21 November 2013, when Ukrainians took to the streets to protest then-President Viktor Yanukovych’s abrupt decision to abandon a historic agreement with the European Union under pressure from Moscow. The peaceful demonstrations escalated into a nationwide movement demanding democracy and accountability. Yanukovych’s regime responded with brutal force, leading to the deaths of over 100 protesters, now remembered as the “Heavenly Hundred.” These revolutions were not just internal struggles but battles against Moscow’s endless efforts to maintain dominance over Ukraine. After Yanukovych fled in 2014, Russia annexed Crimea and launched a war in eastern Ukraine, laying the groundwork for today’s full-scale invasion. Today, Ukraine’s resistance continues more fiercely than ever as it defends not just its sovereignty but also the principles of democracy and international law. The legacy of 21 November serves as a reminder that Ukraine’s fight is far from isolated—its outcome will shape global norms on freedom and the rule of law. —Euromaidan Press

After the Russian attack on November 17, the situation with electricity supply in Odesa is one of the most difficult in Ukraine: the city has been in blackout for three days, and the blackout schedules are not in effect. "During the day, residents received electricity for about 3-5 hours - some at night, some in the afternoon. Another problem is the lack of communication. Problems with mobile communication began immediately after the massive attack. Many Odesa residents said that due to the lack of communication they did not receive any notification of the ballistic missile attack that took place yesterday." - a resident of the city. —WarTranslated

I just started grad school this fall after a few years away from school and man I did not realize how dire the AI/LLM situation is in universities now. In the past few weeks:

I chatted with a classmate about how it was going to be a tight timeline on a project for a programming class. He responded "Yeah, at least if we run short on time, we can just ask chatGPT to finish it for us"

One of my professors pulled up chatGPT on the screen to show us how it can sometimes do our homework problems for us and showed how she thanks it after asking it questions "in case it takes over some day."

I asked one of my TAs in a math class to explain how a piece of code he had written worked in an assignment. He looked at it for about 15 seconds then went "I don't know, ask chatGPT"

A student in my math group insisted he was right on an answer to a problem. When I asked where he got that info, he sent me a screenshot of Google gemini giving just blatantly wrong info. He still insisted he was right when I pointed this out and refused to click into any of the actual web pages.

A different student in my math class told me he pays $20 per month for the "computational" version of chatGPT, which he uses for all of his classes and PhD research. The computational version is worth it, he says, because it is wrong "less often". He uses chatGPT for all his homework and can't figure out why he's struggling on exams.

There's a lot more, but it's really making me feel crazy. Even if it was right 100% of the time, why are you paying thousands of dollars to go to school and learn if you're just going to plug everything into a computer whenever you're asked to think??
