On the subject of AI. People don't realize how important what @courtneynash.bsky.social is writing about here is to the whole scene: resilienceinsoftware.org/news/11560646 If you believe this take [and I do] it completely changes how you think about integrating and applying AI to engineering work.

Expertise Can't Be Automated: Why Resilience Still Needs Humans | Resilience in Software Foundation

Abby Wambach, Neil Peart, Kelsey Hightower. These people are all experts in their relevant fields. Through them we recognize expertise as an exceptionally high

Platner needs to negotiate with the Dem party a replacement candidate who shares his politics, but is a good person.

"The older I get, the less I care what other people think." Is it weird that I experience the opposite? The older I get, the more I care what other people think. If I could, I would anchor my time around learning about other people, their experiences, what they think.

Out here calling themselves "preppers" but can't even make a vegan cupcake. 🙄

The fact that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social‘s administration closed the $12B budget gap in its first 4.5 months should be hung on a banner in Times Square for the remainder of his tenure. All the hand-wringing about democratic socialism destroying the city seems to have been for naught

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

who is teaching AI emotions?

We all know that marriage is for mortals, right? It only makes sense if you expect to die at some point. That's not a criticism of anyone, it's just a practicality.

Little-known fact: 16,750 years ago, cracks in the bottom of the retreating glaciers funneled small rocks into straight lines all over New England. Many ancient people used these rows of rocks as property lines.

sure genAI can help write the thing, but does it feel any satisfaction in expressing itself? the optimistic thrill that someone might read it? the satisfaction of crossing it off a to-do list?

@earthtoeve.bsky.social's song "Toy Soldier." damn.

"internal family systems" therapy is no joke, and if you pick up a book on it and go through some exercises without a trained therapist to guide you, it can seriously fuck you up. don't ask any of my parts how they know. they are all busy screaming.

It is not a stretch at this point to say that, if you are using a Ring doorbell, you are an ICE collaborator. Amazon readily provides data to LEOs and ICE. Don't want to be an ICE collaborator? Then don't use Ring.

remember that your ring doorbell starts using face recognition on every face it sees today :)

It remains a great modern tragedy that a revolutionary and cheap gene editing tech w/ obv applications in medicine and ag was discovered w/ public grants at public universities 13 years ago, and they've been in a pissing contest ever since to exclusively license it for $100Ms.

PSA: deployments are like toothbrushes. they need to be replaced regularly. don't make friends with your deployment.

politicians who want a lasting legacy should learn how to mentor a new generation of leadership

OH: six-seven is a Chinese plot coordinated with the liberal organization dictionary-dot-com to corrupt the English language with nonsense, thereby rendering our LLM models useless

I've been mapping the companies impacted by the AWS outage on October 20th, and trying to find the secondary interdependencies—when companies or services that other companies rely on go down from the outage (e.g. Slack). This is just a snapshot, here’s the interactive version: www.thevoid.community

Outages like today's AWS incident don’t have a single cause. They are the result of countless contributing factors and conditions that cascade through complex systems. While the global internet is remarkably resilient, it is not immune to these dynamics of unforeseeable interactions. 🧵-time!

"The state can't give you free speech, and the state can't take it away. You're born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free." -Utah Phillips
