Note: Here in the US, we are about to "spring ahead" one mooorre time,
and the 1pm I'm referring to is an hour earlier than many of you expect.

   "It's becoming increasingly unusual to read a report of a new
   technology or scientific discovery that doesn't breathlessly
   use the phrase 'it seems like science fiction'. The news
   cycle is currently dominated by hype about artificial
   intelligence (a gross mis-characterisation of machine
   learning algorithms and large language models). A couple of
   years ago it was breathless hype about cryptocurrency and
   blockchain technologies-- which turned out to be a financial
   services bubble ... "

The Raku Study Group

March 10th, 2024  1pm in California, 9pm in the UK

An informal meeting: drop by when you can, show us what you've got,
ask and answer questions, or just listen and lurk.

Perl and programming in general are fair game, along with Raku,

Margaret Masterman, "The Nature of a Paradigm" (1970):

    "This pre-scientific and philosophic state of affairs sharply
    contrasts, however, with *multi-paradigm science*, with that state
    of affairs in which, far from there being no paradigm, there are
    on the contrary too many.  (This is the present overall situation
    in the psychological, social and information sciences.)  ... each
    sub-field as defined by its technique is so obviously more trivial
    and narrow than the field as defined by intuition, and also the
    various operational definitions given by the techniques are so
    grossly discordant with one another, that discussion on
    fundamentals remains, and long-run progress (as opposed to local
    progress) fails to occur.  This state of affairs is brought to an
    end when someone invents a deeper, though cruder paradigm ..."
