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
corporations, reality is horrible, mentions of various very bad things that happen often
I propose that from now on, every time some corporation gets all self-congratulatory on social media, we respond with an uptempo “You're Almost Done!” and a list of every issue that the company still has. Every privacy violation, every anti-security-research policy, every hiring bias, every toxic workplace dynamic, every union-busting practice, every contract for blood resources, every user-facing process that's racist or classist or transmisic.
Rainbow capitalism posts. Posts about how progressive and inclusive it is. Posts about how it's improved its workplace. Posts about the cool new feature you'll love.
List all its failings, and say—like they say to us—#YoureAlmostDone!
Inflacja, rosnące stopy procentowe wpływające na wysokość rat kredytów hipotecznych oraz surowsze zasady oceny zdolności kredytowej - wszystkie te okoliczności sprzyjają rozmowie o dostępie do mieszkań w Polsce, a z tym jak wiadomo nie jest najlepiej.
Ale chyba jeszcze gorzej ma się dyskusja na ten temat, bo mieszkaniówka tak bardzo obrosła dewelopersko-bankową narracją, że trzeba przede wszystkim wiele powszechnie obiegowych opinii odkłamać.

early personal identity stuff
The name was also a reference to a reference to 4chan culture, somewhat less happy about that.
early personal identity stuff
Just remembered the second time I encountered the notion of being bi (in a manga about... doctors? or veterinarians?) and thought it was so cool that I named my first IRC bot "RyoutouSlug". It's really a wonder how long it took me to figure all that stuff out after that...
Defining stuff in:
* type theory: uh, just remember to define everything in order?
* "classical mathematics": so we need these three sets, the first one can be arbitrary, but it's choice impacts how you pick the second one, while the third one has to be picked in the light of the full moon on the last Thursday of a month unless...
moth zone antiblackness meta, an experiment (1/14)
I want to do an experiment. I apologize for how self-indulgent this is, but ... y'know, like, a whole thing with this kind of blowup is that the original context is lost, so I want to see what happens if that context is reintroduced. I'm sure none of this will need explanation to folks who have been following this story.
(That said, feel free to ask for explanation - we didn't see all of this but we saw a lot.)
I just learned that earlier this year, the logistics community of the Foxhole playerbase wrote a list of QoL demands to the developers, who predictably did not bother responding.
In response, participating logi players stopped doing their "jobs", and the frontlines started having serious supply issues. 49 days later the devs released a list of upcoming features, many of which specifically addressed the demands
Players went on strike in a game and won
Learning a lot about people who are saying we should be respectful and reverent at the moment because an old lady did what old ladies do and die.
Where were they when that old lady was wearing a diamond and gold hat and sitting on a gold chair while her subjects queue at food banks?
Their respect and reverence is clearly aimed at wealth and power, not human dignity.
Welp, this day is shaping up impressively bad.
First my son got confused and came home early triggering some panic at the school and slightly disrupted my work.
Then a column of keys on my keyboard broke, making work infeasible.
Now the electricity *in the whole city district* is down and shows no sign of returning for an hour already.
!!FUN!!
I've never really got into submitting my research to academic journals, they're super hard to access and read even when you work for an institution that subscribes to them, have very long delays from submission to publication, and are often super expensive to publish open access (££££s)..
That's been fine because google scholar is good at picking up conference papers etc that other citation databases do not.
But I just had the realisation that if google scholar went away (which is entirely possible, based on google's record) then I'd have no record of my work or its citations.. and I'm not sure what to do about that. I've been thinking of uploading all my papers to zenodo, but despite having DOIs, stuff there is practically ignored by other databases (including google scholar!). I'm not sure what to do about this..
Academic publishing and reporting is a total mess, completely compromised by publishing companies like Elsevier, with absolutely *astonishing* profit margins, and heavy investments in fossil fuels..
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.
