This week I:
🛰️ spent ages talking to journalists about the DART Mission, only for them to either not credit me or call my boss and quote him instead.
🏆 won a competition round and placed in another to now become an Australian representative at a large International competition, but got no press about it.
📡 was scrubbed from or not mentioned in all media releases about a huge grant project I spearheaded at work that is based almost entirely on my labour.
Most weeks it doesn’t get to me, but sometimes it is pretty depressingly thankless to be a young woman in academia.
Zacząłem pisać posta o Bombie Megabitowej i wyszedł mi na tyle długi rant/recenzja/relacja że postanowiłem go rozbić na trzy części. Dzisiaj przede wszystkim rant.

Be /broad/ in what you accept and /precise/ in what you emit. #linguisticshift #PostelsLaw
Just FYI a gay dude born in a Japanese internment camp went on to participate in just about every major social movement from the 1960s to 1990s and co-wrote a book with Buckminster Fuller and babysat MLK Jr's kids and generally lived a life of fun and crime and yet no one has made a single movie about the guy:

I especially enjoy his Fuck the Draft ad, which could be sent to a select group of "mother__s" if you ordered 5 or more posters.

Coraz częściej nowe technologie są używane do pogarszania wygody i jakości urządzeń, którymi się posługujemy na co dzień. Obecność mikroprocesorów i łączności z Internetem powoduje, że urządzenia technicznie potrafią robić więcej — ale ich potencjał jest sztucznie ograniczany, aby pomóc zmaksymalizować zyski producenta, kosztem użytkowników. To zjawisko nie ominęło branży motoryzacyjnej. 🚗

Talking about pronouns | discussion | boost please!!
@Restraint The easiest thing is when their pronouns are in their profile so you can just look them up.
There /is/ something to be said for not /asking/ creatures their pronouns. (/Definitely/ don't use whether you think they're trans to decide whether to ask.) But what you can do is give /your/ pronouns proactively—right after your name when you introduce yourself. This is a hint that they should also give theirs. Doing this as a cis creature normalizes pronoun exchange, which is good.
If you're missing somecreature's pronouns, use they/them, the fallback pronouns.
fawning over LaTeX, probably insufferable
Whoop, adding one more level of abuse now, but this time I actually expect it to work, even though it's weird.
fawning over LaTeX, probably insufferable
Gods, I love LaTeX. I wrote something that I wasn't sure would work, and then hacked one more piece that felt like cheating and I expected it to fail, but no, turns out \newcommand just does rewrites, so everything works out of the box as I dreamed up. Lovely!
I like how the real reason we still have a gender (sex) marker in passports is that it would be too much work to update all the software. Namely, I'm sure the collective of stereotypical trans girls can work out a deal where the government supplies the programmer socks and we fix their systems.
Maybe someone on fedi knows of any formalizations of probability theory in homotopy type theory? Any other type theory might be useful as well. #HoTT #probability

btw my new video with @powderpaint is absolutely kickass go watch it if you haven't already
Programmer and researcher,. Ended up working with all the current buzzwords: #ai #aisafety #ml #deeplearning #cryptocurrency
Other interests include #sewing, being #lesswrong, reading #hardsf, playing #boardgames and omitting stuff on lists.
Oh, and trans rights, duh.
