iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Both my girls are dogs someone else gave up on, and whew, they are not without challenges! It's really funny to me because sometimes I'll make a wry comment online about one of the behavioral issues we're working on and I'll get all this well-intentioned but facile advice from folks who have no idea

This thread is a great place to start learning about the racism of "colorblindness", if you are not already familiar.

there are many useful applications for machine learning and neural networks! production technologies, even, not stuff we're pouring hundreds of billions into in the hopes that one day it might have a practical use! but that's not what they're selling

I'm pretty sure that the main demographic that listens to radio and cares about what's in the charts is also the demographic that bemoans the loss of cursive and rotary phone skills among youth today.

The whole speech is good, but this part in particular is particularly relevant now. www.trumanlibrary.gov/library/publ...

A screenshot of a section of the linked speech by former President Harry Truman:

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.

But when a Democratic candidate goes out and explains what the New Deal and fair Deal really are--when he stands up like a man and puts the issues before the people--then Democrats can win, even in places where they have never won before. It has been proven time and again.
We are getting a lot of suggestions to the effect that we ought to water down our platform and abandon parts of our program. These, my friends, are Trojan horse suggestions. I have been in politics for over 30 years, and I know what I am talking about, and I believe I know something about the business. One thing I am sure of: never, never throw away a winning program.
This is so elementary that I suspect the people handing out this advice are not really well-wishers of the Democratic Party.

Bluesky isn't the whole of anyone's existence. People have jobs, go on Reddit and Facebook, play games, hang out with friends, watch TV, read magazines, listen to radio, etc. Bluesky isn't even one bubble, it's endless overlapping bubbles, but also that is kind of irrelevant.

We all live in bubbles of some kind or another. Nobody can absorb all media, all genres, all sports, all cultures. That's why it's so interesting to talk to different people, because even if someone else's sphere is really similar to yours there will still be things they know about that you don't.

I am taking a couple of undergrad classes and the extent to which instructors are leaning on AI is really degrading the quality of instruction, IMO. "Listen to this AI generated podcast" in no way substitutes for an actual lecture. Lazy ass.

In Gaza🍉, a 15-year-old boy named Abood suffers from severe seizures while his family watches helplessly, unable to afford his treatment due to poverty and high medical costs. They urgently need $130 to help provide his medication & give him a chance at recovery. Donate⬇️ chuffed.org/project/1844...

The people who claim that they "used to be left until they got bullied and are now right-wing" are lying chuds. I get bullied by annoying online leftists *all the time* for even the slightest of disagreements and it's never affected my core beliefs.

That pause when you go to export a large file from Tableau to Excel and nothing happens or appears to be happening for a Very Long Time and you're afraid to touch anything 100% chance that if I walk away now the export will shit the bed and I'll have to start over

I'm so sick of people defending this guy based on the sole reason that he's technically registered as a Democrat. He's the very picture definition of a DINO; he's a corporate-owned Republican who campaigned as a Democrat solely to get elected. He will throw us ALL under the bus.
