Reposted by ProprietySarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 08/10/2026New Merch Alert!! Fish. The ocean's full of 'em. And protecting the ocean is a global job, so we better learn the word for fish in as many languages as we can fit on a tote bag.

Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 08/10/2026For a lot of managers: the dream is to fire all their engineers. No costs, only profits. The pitch is for the people who never wanted to do the work in the first place. 010
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I hadn't heard the reverse-centaur analogy, but it echoes one of my concerns from the beginning: writing code can be boring or fun, but reviewing code for errors is arduous AND often joyless/thankless. Writing seems to be where real understanding comes. LLMs corrupt the whole system. 121
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 07/10/2026LRP: the same thing happening in Mathematics is happening in Computer Science/Computer Engineering, but because the latter is so thoroughly under corporate capture, the enshittification hailed as major success. 220

Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Oh incredible!!! I will have to tell my (folk harp playing) husband! 010
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 06/10/2026They need to find the rest of it immediately, I want to see a Prime Minister blush so hard they pass out 150

Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Darling, for the homosexual Renaissance man, this is simply your average Tuesday! 1100
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Nope! This office space is huge and has at most like six people in it. There's like twelve meeting rooms!!! They're all empty!!! Camping out in a meeting room when you're not on a meeting is ALSO bad!!! 010
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Oh good heavens it drives me insane too. In particular when they're using video chat but neither is even pointing the phone at their face??? It's like, well, I guess I'm on video and listening to your Full Business on this bus for some reason 110
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Sarah this morning an older man at the gym was listening to a podcast on his phone OUT LOUD, everyone smokes on SEPTA, I feel like everyone has gone insane, where is the shame??? 120
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I've never seen that brand at the supermarket. Franklin Fountain in Old City does usually have Teaberry flavor, if that's what you mean. 100
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It is a little baffling to me to be working in an open office space, with plenty of open and available private meeting rooms, and people just take calls and meetings from their desks? Talking loudly? What the hell has happened to people's sense of norms and decorum? 270
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The US is roughly the same size as China, which has far more trains. Anyway Japan and California are ~ same size. California currently has a GDP about 50% of Japan. Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka, a 6 hour drive, is 2.5 hours... the line was built in 1965. SF to LA takes 6 hours driving. No excuse! 100
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 04/10/2026There's still 25% of the year left! And it's a beautiful part of the year. Every day is new. 000

Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 02/10/2026NO!!! THE END OF THE AGE OF GRIFGEON!!! (The look on Dani's face!!! Just total chaos at this point, I am losing it) 030
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I guess the iced coffee at the interview is a sign of something after all. 🤷 120
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I always try to be generous, but I hope the judge in this case is not. 000
Reposted by ProprietyBen S @bensh3.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Bilal and the Sheriff's office is the prime example of the political elite all going "yeah this sucks, so shameful haha", no one doing anything meaningful about it, and thus affecting zero people's political careers 2112
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 02/10/2026They went back ONE YEAR and found TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS that the sheriff was withholding from the city. The sheriff's office must be abolished. Insane that this level of incompetence is tolerated. 1193

Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Good news! There's a local burlesque show in Philly that already does this! (We went to the Princess Bride one. It was pretty funny!) 130
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Yeah, ultimately LLMs are structured to maximize some textual quality score. If they're trained on enough marketing documents, press releases and pithy forum posts, why wouldn't the function reproduce the grammatical structure of a mind blowing revelation as often as possible? 040
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Zach it is driving me insane Imagine 20 pages of code documentation and Every Other Line is a "Mic Drop" It's exhausting and stupid!!! 160

Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Numerous apartment/condo developments in West Philly have died because of an inclusionary zoning overlay that was passed that makes them not pencil out; in one case the developers built by-right single family houses instead (which are far less affordable). www.inquirer.com/opinion/edit...inquirer.comInclusionary zoning has failed to deliver on affordable housing promise | EditorialSince enforcement began in July 2022, only five housing projects — with a total of 106 new apartments and fewer than 30 income-restricted units — have received permits within the restricted area. 082
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It sure sounds like neither of those projects were the result of inclusionary zoning by private developers, they were publicly funded developments. So, you haven't really answered the question. 160
Propriety @proprietous.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I feel like there should be some axiom where if a neighborhood council's meetings are so interminable and boring nobody is willing to show up to them that neighborhood council's board is immediately sacked 130
