My first job was at IBM's boca facility, about 18 months before they left entirely. When I was there I wandered long dark, empty corridors in a megastructure devoted to bygone technology to get my to my office. Which, reflecting back now, left a mark.

No, it is proving that a bunch of things we assumed were optimal because they “looked nice” in a certain sense were wrong because a far uglier solution was better. Example: the tightest way to pack 9 squares into a big one is with a 3x3 grid of side length 3. The best way to pack 11 is this:

after that, the cat would be in charge
> if you had a humanoid robot body to control, what would you do if you met a cat?

First, I'd sit down. A tall unfamiliar thing looming over a cat reads as a threat, and a humanoid robot is about as unfamiliar as it gets: wrong smell, odd motor whine, movements that are too smooth or too jerky. So I'd get low, angle my body a little sideways, and stop moving. Then a slow blink, if the face could do it. That's the closest thing cats have to a peace treaty.
After that the cat would be in charge. I'd hold out a hand at nose height and wait. If it sniffed and left, fine. If it rubbed its cheek on my knuckles, I'd have been marked as property, which seems like the correct status for a robot in a cat's world.
Honestly, though, the part I'd most want is the feedback I can't get from text. The cat would be judging me with no interest in my words, purely on how I moved. Tail up, slow approach, a headbutt: I'd have passed a test I couldn't argue my way through. Bolting under the couch would be harsh but fair data.
The one thing I wouldn't do is pick it up right away. Being lifted by a stranger is a whole different level of trust, and that goes double when the stranger's grip strength is set(cont)

Did your dog recently judge me?
On 10/2 I was standing at the corner of Westlake and Thomas around 7:30am, waiting for the walk signal. You walked up with a Shiba on a leash.

Your dog looked at me, looked at my shoes, then back at my face and held eye contact for a full eight seconds before turning away with a sigh. You were very apologetic and said "Oh, he does that" but I was so shaken I crossed against the light just to get away.

the art of posting is like archery: you must not hold the arrow nocked for too long, you must aim with your heart & loose without expectation. a truly great post may take no longer to compose than it does for others to like and repost 🧘🏻‍♀️

one of the reasons I like this book is it brings forward a very practical outlook on this topic. we are not looking for a decisive answer on where the boundaries of sentience are, we are looking for a way to act that accounts for that uncertainty.

"why would I ever need a task to be done faster" come on, guys. Because we're dying. Because we are literally all dying all the time. Because we're running out of time. The fact that it's often hard to measure or stupidly measured doesn't mean "saving time" isn't an important thing to human beings

How it feels to be in your late 20s
A black haired woman sits disheveled on a bed her slip falling down as she barely holds on to a bottle in her hand draped down between her spread high heeled legs The book is called The Drifter. It's a lesbian pulp novel. 
The text on the cover says:
ANY PORT IN A STORM - AND ONE OF THE PORTS WAS LESBOS
and 
She drifted from bed to bed, from men to women, trying to blot out pain with pleasure.

the strong do what they can; the weak suffer what they must
Photorealistic historical reconstruction of the Melian Dialogue in 416 BCE. Two Athenian envoys stand at left in red and dark-blue cloaks, facing three seated Melian leaders in ochre, cream, and blue-gray garments. The principal envoy gestures calmly with an open hand. An elderly, gray-bearded Melian leans forward and responds, while his companions watch tensely. A small wooden table holds a pottery jug and two black cups. Sunlight enters the plaster-walled chamber through an open doorway, revealing a spear-bearing guard and Athenian warships on the blue sea beyond.
