@timnitGebru I had a recruiter from Anduril invite me (via cold LinkedIn message) to a happy hour at their office. The kicker was that in order to sign up, I'd have to create a profile on a surveillance company's site to get access to their facilities. You can't even get recruited by them without giving up all privacy. There's just no self-awareness in that industry.

The real "deeply offensive" fact is that there still isn't a full academic boycott of a genocidal apartheid Israel. That is the mindbogglingly "offensive" state of affairs.

It wasn't until several years later they told us what *they said they didn't use* (AI) all those years back (but did use.)

*Lynn Conway* RIP 2024
...more info / story...
=======================

woman

Lynn developed "generalized dynamic instruction dispatch" for IBM in 1966.

2 years later she was kicked out, just after Robert Tomasulo published the "Tomasulo Algorithm" for out-of-order execution of floating point instructions, utilizing Lynn's work.

Everyone knows Tomasulo (and he did great work, mind you!), but no-one knows Lynn.

Later, in technical compsci, you may stumble upon highly integrated circuits, everyone there knows but not the inventor, our dear Dr. Conway.

Her story, her struggle against IBM who took decades to apologize to her for her mistreatment. She transitioned in darker times and pioneered not "only" in compsci. She was what many would call "greater than life". She died early Jun 2024.

Today let's remember Lynn 🏳️‍⚧️
Today and tomorrow we fight on ✊
See also: Talk on Wikipedia: Out-of-order execution
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Out

The name of Conway is usually dropped and both concepts (register renaming etc. and multiple-issue) subsumed under one, effectively erasing Conway's work. If it isn't then multiple-issue is often erroneously attributed to Yale Patt.

You're only as useful as much as you bring in the money... 

It's hard for me to say as if nobody cares but I want us to recognise the error that in Capitalism's perspective, from the very top, they don't care and so working in that big bubble needs adjustment else serves cut-throat-ism (though you might not see of feel it until you're cut or discriminated as excuses for the same cutting of people).

You're only as useful as you bring in the money

Those lower in pyramid do care but often trying to swim to save their own lives while top rakes it in like a big raking machine,

Overall from top nobody ever wanted to feed you or care for you...
You see it in parents even nowadays as children and adults have bullshit job detectors and more bad experiences...

You're only as useful as much as you bring in the money...

Unless you bring bosses much more in they don't care... you're replaceable- if they see you as a cow they can cash, then they might 'care'.... and

suddenly you're loved again...

@ScienceCommunicator @ljrk @lisamelton @beunice The power differential makes the difference. Humans with coercive power tend to set themselves as the norm and those they find outside it are, in their view, subordinate. It's not that women find other women superior to men but rather, reminding the world that ignoring our talent is an opportunity loss. Same for other disempowered groups. Pride in group members' achievements despite adversity is not inversion of power dynamics.

@ljrk @lisamelton
i tell my students that if they dont know the history of women in computing then they dont know the history of computing.

"Weird" and "Strange" (as words) are usually ONLY used with what you haven't covered or become familiar with... 

It's ok to use, if you say more often "it's strange to me" as that shows it's just for you or you current experience never came across this as a "weird thing for me"

█"Weird" and "Strange" (as words) are usually ONLY used with what you haven't covered or become familiar with...

This includes with people

- █nicknames, pseudonym

- █"different" ways to communicate or work like;

-staying more ██ but willing to work on stuff

- "strangely" █open minded but close-in-some-way people

- "strangely" the █"I want to work for / or less-capitalistic people

- those not using commercial ways and yes █"weird"█ to you as they might use apps you might not have heard of and occasionally a pain in the ass to install!

- etc.... etc... it's all ok if you continue to learn without slamming doors! 🚪 🔑


etc

Capitalism generally doesn't want to factor in the stress it causes others or taking of it's space... 

and people generally doesn't want to pay or factor in the stress it causes others in the taking and not making for others (as you would yourself or you children).

It may come down to numbers also being a problem but the basics of space between people is very difficult matter. I can't even share some of the stuff I got for free on my computer let alone room with others / community (although I have I admit!)

I am a PIONEER !...🔰 (Let's say of the mind... more than just focus on physcial material / matter 

I am a pioneer because I match as the definition of the words I use, so pioneer as a verb:

1. Open up an area or prepare a way
2. Take the lead or initiative in; participate in the development of
3. Open up and explore a new area

Noun: pioneer
1. Someone who helps to open up a new line of research, technology or art
2. One the first colonists or settlers in a new territory

[WordWeb.info]

(nobody likes a person that uses words incorrectly or as euphemisms and then says "Oh I didn't mean it like that" and gets offended for words they DELIBERATELY left ambiguous about in saying to 100's of people - it creates a whole thread of nothing sometimes or could be much better as community or pioneer....

Pioneers like Aral are synonymous for short text and for triggering people, but don't factor in answering other than in short (which also doesn't help as short is limited in understanding)
So when they say "oh wait buddy why so emotional about my ambiguity" and "chill it's only text and I can't spend time answering everyone" but then they can send a message every other minute- then you know their game is not well thought.

So the answer is frankly being better with words originally...
pioneer or not!

Just not the YouTube style of pictures to suck people in / get them talking / watching your live chats - this is underhand and eventually un-ethical to that extent!

Even I as a beginner in some things it feels like I'm as StarTrek - "light Years" ahead of my own time but less obvious then having a shiny TimeWarp or space ship for you to let yourself believe in first (probably it would help my "front shop" to be more shiny).
So not magic machine but myself and MindWarp of similar kinds to nudge the "Do you want to make friends with the world on this journey or not?"
and that pinball 💣 inside your head includes the same things you're doing OVER AND OVER and things you're not doing... and make test and adjustment in both areas (some you do excellent already some not)...

Open wide as I perform a bit of change 👄 and I promise to show you measured differences to mentality in the "before" and the "after" snapshot or text... not just false promises or pioneer here!

hmm interesting that... but doing the same things over and over again in same template is limited...

Many can't say or can't do that.

@pre Ok sounds like voice of experience... Will DM you in a bit...

People's own mistrust IS THE BASIC CAUSE of problems... 

SCARED? Yes we all are... but

People's own mistrust IS THE BASIC CAUSE for why we are not working more together over the net or not.
The worse case is claiming "strangers" without making effort to make friends (friends were strangers once or stranger = friends after getting to know them!)

Even if 100% were good here (everywhere or just your instance or some Federated tab... ) still you wouldn't know how to make friends / accept imperfections / to share with others and might claim the shadows are watching rather than fighting forward either to see if that's even the case or just guard up punching at things together to make some progress even expecting problems as building up resilience, experience, humanity, logic.... one big

(pardon the F word at the end but or For the F-in Way!)

Much respect to you and get in touch and let's prove me wrong for a change! Happy to do stuff for / for you too.

Question: How to work with great people on Fediverse... 

Reducing the scope of question may help you, but feel free to answer without these:

- distance is probably is big factor (for other people and the work itself, but maybe this is just an excuse as plenty to get on with and even better by distance!)

- also the anonymous requirements (so neither of us can be ratted on) and similar personal privacy for those that appreciate it while having a proof-of-work way of trust (even audio chats or whatever) can be achieved (even if still not 100% trustful BECAUSE I THINK MOSTLY RIGHT NOW are and it's people's own mistrust that's the issue - OK that I'll write in a new post as it's a good point)

Overall I still feel like we could get on with a lot even with 2 things above as requirements - we could draw out / contribute to each other's work, even saying how clear or not it is and improve that way over the net. No? Tell me...
