Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 03/10/2026i get mine tweezed but yes, its astonishing how much more femme i feel after 020
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 29/09/2026Having not thought about or used any AI for the past 3 weeks since leaving my job has been amazing, highly recommend. My mind already feels better. (My job was AI/ML robustness and safety for nearly a decade, and that should really tell you something) 001
Reposted by Jen 🏳️⚧️Jaz @jaz.sh · 27/09/2026Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.devatlas.jazco.devAtlasA living map of what Bluesky is talking about: the past week's conversations, grouped into topics and regions and rebuilt every six hours. 1171425424
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 28/09/2026this is such as cool visualization, so glad you made something like this 010
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 17/09/2026its been both one of the easiest a d hardest things i have ever done, but most of the hard part was just getting over my own internal blockers. And transitioning weirdly gave me the confidence to quit my job and pursue photography full time. Kind of wild 000
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 13/09/2026yea my friends have realized they can just get to me today do basically anything by saying there are hot women there, and i am completely fine with this 020
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 08/09/2026its a real good drug, had a real strong variant this weekend when i unexpectedly ran into one of my rave friends at a festival after show and great times were had. Highly recommend just saying yes to things sometimes 010
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 03/09/2026this would fix me, though regular intervals would be required for maintenance 010
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 31/08/2026i am constantly trying to convince my cis friends to get hormones, they always ask how i have so much energy and the simple answer is good hormone levels and no alcohol, thats kind of it. But so many are reluctant to :( 270
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 29/08/2026went to my first multi day festival early this year (electric forest) and yea the need to just always move (or be completely still no in between) is so real. And sooooo much fun, going to another (north coast) next week, and can't wait to just be that free again. 110
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 20/08/2026does quitting your tech job to pursue photography, and selling all of the things pretransition you bought to attempt to be happy count 110
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 19/07/2026there is a reason i am in the process of leaving, i just cant stand it anymore 100
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 19/07/2026considering its what i want to do and i identify as a top, i would say on the top side 010
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 17/07/2026all of the worst options came to pass and ruined an interesting technology for functionally nothing rather than continue the interesting research on efficiency and specialized models 100
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 17/07/2026Been in AI/ML for a decade now, and am so burned out I may end up just leaving the entire tech/dev world, and pursue my photography and other creative passion. Been looking for new jobs in this world and everything i look at just increases my anxiety and burnout 110
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 15/07/2026Apparently I have been banned from Indeed??????????? For having a weird email address 000
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 10/07/2026So fucking burned out being in AI/ML safety and robustness, genai has made my work miserable and not enjoyable, and trying to convince people of what is obvious to me is almost not worth the effort sometimes, and then 6 months later they go “you were right” 020
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 10/07/2026I really enjoyed life after cars, a little more hopeful than some of the other ones 020
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 09/07/2026but hey i am just the trans woman who has been looking at coding assistants for over a decade, what do i possibly know 1110
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 09/07/2026My job is literally trying to evaluate the impact of AI models on different kinds of development tasks and my early conclusions is they are negligible for experts and a gamble if they will be good or bad for non experts. Yes they can do some things well but so can a vim macro with a small model 1122
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 09/07/2026all this supposed AI adoption is wild, its been my field for a decade now, and i don’t even use it day2day, any of the “benefits” i get through other optimizations and dedicated tooling, some of the code generation is nice but small local models are plenty for that 2180
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 03/07/2026part of the problem is i am so burned out i just have no energy to code outside of work (and barely at work where i have just been working on white-papers), just took 3 weeks off and havent touched a computer during that time 010
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 03/07/2026yup, i need to find the right atproto project for my burnout but I have been in AI/ML robustness and safety for a decade so the last few years have been so draining and exhausting trying to convince people of the risks of LLMs and that they are not as useful as people think 130
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 20/06/2026It is quite fun, and does bring joy, especially when they compliment your ass or forearms 030
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 20/06/2026Not using a computer for a week has been amazing, maybe all of the efficiencies it affords are not as worth it 010
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 20/06/2026so what you are saying is if i get a BA my pistol squats will be easier 130
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 07/06/2026i went from being a strength dominant climber to having really good technique, its been an interesting shift 120
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 07/06/2026yup, i am around the same rough strength as the cis women climbers i climb with, my only advantage is that i am 6’1” which was also an advantage when i was a man 230
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 07/06/2026I used to be able to do 5 pullups with 75 pounds of weights on me, now i can barely do one pull up and i still climb at the same rough level and still train as hard 130
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 07/06/2026the nyt is objectively one of the worst newspapers not even considering lgbtq stuff, their reporting on technology and science is horrendous and has been for a long time, they are incapable of fact checking, and wirecutter got worse after being acquired by them 120
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 04/06/2026oh no a generation cares more about living life than making money 0140
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 18/05/2026as soon as i find some size 12/13 heels that i like i will, so if anyone has recommendations will take 040
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 18/05/2026i am 6’1” and want to start wearing heels just for the reactions but have t found any i like 040
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 18/05/2026this has happened so many times at raves, but i kind of love it too much. Was recognized at one rave by a person due to my height and “snatched waist”. Now if i could just find some cute heels that fit, I would cause so much chaos. 150
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 16/05/2026should make it clear that my job literally is to understand these patterns and abstractions and how they related to ai and users in a variety of domains 010
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 16/05/2026at least in my research around this, is that you have to at least understand the inputs and outputs of the different components and how they relate to actual workflows or interaction dynamics. And these are things i have noticed time and time agin Claude fail to understand and is where i am needed 120
Jen 🏳️⚧️ @cyrave.net · 11/05/2026it is a great album been listening to it quite a bit since it came out 110
