The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!" Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

This anime has exactly the kind of chill vibe I love…but the protagonist keeps doing shit like going for a walk in the snow in her high heels and it is KILLING ME.

What you don’t or can’t use, you lose. Applies to EVERYTHING, but especially knowledge work. This is a huge problem, and we’re seeing knowledge loss faster than Alzheimer’s. If your employer forces you to use the crap, make SURE you’re coding things you love by hand to keep your skills for next job.

Sometimes audiobook narrators make me question the pronunciation of words that I know damn well I’ve looked up in the past, and sometimes they pronounce “scared” like “scarred” and I quit worrying that maybe they know better than I do how to pronounce “grimace.”

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...
stick a pin in this metaphor

…because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.

The last social work job I had was in an appalachian town where they had just made all lunch and breakfast free. It was far far better than having to make people do the applications, they knew by the data that most of the kids needed it, it reduced food waste and best of all, it meant kids ate.

For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚
A drawing of Elizabeth Bennet, a lovely young woman with her long hair tied up nearly under a ribbon and wearing what is most likely a neo-classically inspired dress, looking pensive, two letters in her hand. Meanwhile Darcy, a handsome but stern-looking fellow, looks longingly at her. Also there is me, a little gremlin in big round glasses, skulking about in the background and hoping that they kiss. 

The accompanying text reads “Trung reads Pride and Prejudice for the first time, somehow.”
