(1/3) It's World Suicide Prevention Day. I have a history of trauma and C-PTSD. I am very lucky that suicide was never an option for me for some reason. But suicide has followed me for years. Friends and family. My uncle took his own life. My father died of what I would call a passive suicide.

It's hard to believe that this little girl has lived with us for 2 years already. We didn't do the best job of naming, though: Zoë (which means "life"). She has brought more small animals into our house than all the other cats I've had over the last 20 years combined. #cats #catsofbluesky

Max got into a fight a couple weeks ago. We took him to the vet to make sure he didn't get infected (his fur is almost grown back where they shaved him). He's fine; but he ended up with an aural hematoma resulting in cauliflower ear. He looks like this now. #whiskerswednesday #catsofbluesky #cats

She excels in her field
An illustration of a woman wearing glasses in a blue dress and flip flops with one leg up. She is doing devil horn hand pose with one hand and is working on excel on a laptop that’s on a standing height desk. She is in a green field with a blue sky.

Why Care About Agent Authored Code Quality

Shoutout to the very senior professor in HCI who gave a talk last month about how AI can do qualitative data analysis better than people now.
First, I’d created 2000 free-text responses and labelled them ‘UK’. Then I copied and pasted the exact same 2000 responses but labelled these ‘US’. Finally, I combined them to create a dataset of 4000 total responses, and jumbled them up.

Despite the responses being identical for the UK and US, Copilot produced a rich, detailed summary of how US and UK respondents differed.

Brontësaurus. Ink & gouache on Strathmore grey toned paper, 151 x 147mm, 2014. Because this seems to be doing the rounds again elsewhere. Perhaps the only piece of mine to have gone mildly viral, shunted uncredited like an orphan from workhouse to workhouse across the Internet over the years. 🤓
Illustration of an anthropomorphised Brontosaurus in an early 19th century dress standing with a quill pen in her right hand at a writing desk with a sheaf of papers. She faces left, but her head is turned slightly towards the viewer. Beneath the desk are scattered a few more sheets of a manuscript. In the background, a framed silhouette portrait of the head and neck of another sauropod hangs on the wall.

An interesting side effect of reading science fiction from the 1970s is that many take place in far future years like 2020 (A Talent for the Invisible by Ron Goulart) and 2023 (The End of the Dream by Philip Wylie).
