i love arguing on the internet but you gotta be finding new battlegrounds and not doing that shit

4 hours of meetings in a row today zzzzz

oh god it's german i take it back

work renamed the "diversity and inclusion" committee to "people and culture" which frankly seems like a good call so that they can keep doing the same things with a less politicized label

i finally looked at the new taylor swift and man that album cover is rough

"i like trans lit", what they actually meant versus what you hoped they meant

lol

perhaps the most underrated perk of the AI boom has been functional semantic search for images

i kinda want to do the same but it's soo hard to get myself interested in anything software related in my free time

i worked on like a snowboarding/skiing run tracking app for a while with a whole ass embedded social network. 90% of the development time was spent on that and almost nobody used it

rip 🫡

INTERESTING lmao

i might try posting (or whatever functionality isn't working) via the api and inspect the response? but if it's solely on the appview side... more difficult lol

company that owns the one i work for is doing a little seminar on "AI engineering" that i was really hoping would be ML ops type stuff. buuutttt once again it's just selling us on integrating LLMs into programming workflows. sigh.

same. a little ambiguous to me but certainly something I would've viewed as at least vaguely threatening, if i were on the receiving end

yeah a permaban is ridiculous. the context is pretty gross though

i remember when interacting with other trans women on the internet still made me feel LESS insane... good times

"unless a nearest neighbor appears in the training set" oh boy

hell yeah

by "zizian" they just mean overly online trans women i guess? I'm not even seeing much in the way of rationalism here

"i apologize to you for what you have become" is such a good line

100%. rock climbing especially is SO tech job coded

makes so much sense considering Seattle, SF, etc, but WEIRD

gearing up for my first backpacking trip since high school and it's a little weird to me how much of the marketing on high end outdoor gear is specifically targeted at tech nerds

*harasses someone in an extremely misogynistic way and is outraged when my post gets moderated*

also the terrorism wikipedia page is full of great sections lmao

yeah it's really not great how you can get a whole phd in a field without learning much of the context or broader thought surrounding it

"if greta thunberg is a terrorist then the word means nothing!" well you're 20-50 years late but yes that's true

only philosophy class required at my undergrad was the intro to ethics one. then some 300 or 400 level "ethics in computer science" thing. looks like it's the same story where i went to grad school too. no philosophy or even history of science
