Félix Fischer @felix91gr.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Damn. That color is so cool... I agree, it must be sorcery, if it is lightfast. Oh, I did try to check for toxic compounds within it but its composition seems to be proprietary QwQ If you happen to get a sample... could you capture the light spectrum of its color? Maybe we can narrow it down :3 100
Félix Fischer @felix91gr.bsky.social · 21/09/2026If the source of color were structural, it should be lightfast... But I only know how folks can pull that off with gold (a nanoparticle + a carrier molecule). I have no idea if gold is an exception, or if all noble-ish transition metals can be used in that way. 100
Félix Fischer @felix91gr.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Holy SHIT that thing pops, omg! It is SO BRIGHT m.youtube.com/watch?v=zAVO... That makes me wonder if it's some form of structural color.

Félix Fischer @felix91gr.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Hi. Fellow Very Normal research enjoyer here. I wanna know: is that ink non-toxic, or did they cheat with one of the wonder-pigment-metals (chromium, cadmium, lead, mercury, etc) as in the old days? 110

Félix Fischer @felix91gr.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Anyway. My theory is that one of the reasons we have incidents like Crowdstrike's as often as we do is that there are no real consequences for playing with people's lives. Hence why I gravitate towards safety critical systems in software. I want my ethics and my employer's incentives to be aligned. 0130
Félix Fischer @felix91gr.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Such a catastrophe in civil engineering due to negligence (for example, of a badly designed bridge collapsing and taking hundrers of casualties), would result in the engineers responsible for approving such a bad design knowing the risks, facing years of jail. (At least here in Chile) 2/3 2181
Félix Fischer @felix91gr.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I mean the one part I miss about "real engineering" is the lack of real accountability in most contexts. That massive systems outage Crowdstrike caused in July 19th 2024, for example, (1) affected 8.5 million systems, (2) killed many people in e.g. hospitals and (3) was due to sheer negligence. 1/3 1211

Félix Fischer @felix91gr.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The mere word is cursed. "Content" implies that its substance and identity don't matter; that it's just the amount of "stuff to consume" that matters.

Félix Fischer @felix91gr.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Ah, I see! It doesn't work as an "always" type. When used as a type, it works as a mirror that just takes whatever value the type inference process presents to it. And without imposing constraints to the inference itself. 121
Félix Fischer @felix91gr.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Speaking of never: if the never type can be coerced into any other type, there must be a type at the other end of the universe, into which any type can be coerced, right? Did we already have that as _? Was _ the always type all along? 210
