I wholly and un-ironically believe that versioning ought to make up a significant fraction of any formal training in computers. Multiple full year courses in your degree. And there should be a set of journals and conferences on it, endowed chairs, advanced research institutes, the whole nine yards.

I've never not had an insightful interaction with Quinn Wilton. This talk, "The Graveyard of Good Ideas", is an absolute delight. I can't describe it; just listen to the first 5 mins and if it doesn't grab you…I dunno, you're just not my kind of nerd. (-: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovlQ...

looks very interesting

practices that made it effective. I argue that the most significant impact of LLMs on programming language development may not be faster implementation, but making rigorous specification, validation, and design practices practical for language projects that lack the resources of large language teams or industrial standards bodies.

Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

I was in one of these recently and it was no big deal. I'm still a closed loop individual of individual sapience. There's definitely no humming of the collective mycelium spirit in the back of my mind. Don't worry about these

I wonder if LLMs-constantly-attacking-everything will further entrench fully private WANs (eg. the "fast-lane" cables owned/managed by hyperscalers that currently accelerate POP-to-cloud traffic). I guess there's always a perimeter somewhere, but seems like "bespoke airgaps" have a brighter future.

In his 2004 book, The Anatomy of Fascism, historian Robert Paxton identified the passions that had animated fascistic political cultures over the previous 80 years. These may sound familiar.

eelings t
hem "mobilizing passions":
• a sense of overwhelming crisis beyond the reach of any traditional solutions;
• the primacy of the group, toward which one has duties superior to every right, whether individual or universal, and the subordination of the individual to it;
• the belief that one's group is a victim, a sentiment that justifies any action, without legal or moral limits, against its enemies, both internal and external;
• dread of the group's decline under the corrosive effects of individualistic liberalism, class conflict, and alien influences;
• the need for closer integration of a purer community, by consent if possible, or by exclusionary violence if necessary;
• the need for authority by natural chiefs (always male), culminating in a national chieftain who alone is capable of incarnating the group's historical destiny;
• the superiority of the leader's instincts over abstract and universal
reason;
• the beauty of violence and the efficacy of will, when they are devoted to the group's success;

The most effective heuristic I've found to quickly show whether someone is a shitty person is to see what they think about homeless people. They're telling you who they really are. Those red flags have an undefeated record, e.g. Gavin Newsom. Wurman used an encampment lawsuit to burnish his rep.

Progress in cancer research has been one of the incredible areas of biomedical advancement over the past two decades. Many cancers which were absolute death sentences just a few years ago are now chronic, managed conditions. And this was only possible through NIH/NCI/NIAID research/funding.

yes "comments LLMs leave to explain their work" (especially when talking to one another) read uncomfortably like "teenage twitch streamers detailing incomprehensible fandom lore" only like if it was corporate software scrum master lore. they are so into every story point they give them little names.

I had a conversation recently in which I admitted to belief that programs can be "done" after which they just need ongoing maintenance / fixes / ports. That writing a new program can serve everyone better than constant overhauls to an old one. I know this is controversial, and that seems sad to me.

I agree with this so much. Every time people get all critical about the social function of shame (and even the legitimate self-critical, reflexive, not-meeting-my-own-standards function of shame) I wonder what exactly they have in mind to better serve that function. What else is moral condemnation?

At this point I have seen so many people with medical tragedies that at long last boil down to either "mis-dosed drug" or "drug side effect" or "drug interaction" that it's now the first thing I ask about when discussing health issues. "Do you by any chance have some medication you take regularly?"
