Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Nor to anyone decent. Just thought your turn of phrase about exporting anti-black racism was sharp. My apologies. 110
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 01/06/2026oof. bitterly funny but I haven't heart to 'like'. Horrible, horrible stuff. 100
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Had a facehugger… er I mean Quest and after the novelty wore off got a Switch to replace it. 1000x the fun had by kiddo and friends. 010
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Probably including parking. (Cars not the other kind.) 020
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Starter packs are a way of inducting someone into Bluesky.., a kind of induction hub. 020
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Aha! You exclaimed when you realised. For some reason this didn’t go down well. 010
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 20/05/2026I am crying with laughter. Just amazing. On 6 loops in a row before I stopped gasping. 000
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Yes I think that’s the right framing. But also, the other point about social structures being challenged does have merit. 020
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 14/05/2026it sounds like this will be at your place, not theirs -- I'd always argue for the 'sitting to be in the place of familiarity, own bed etc. also: they're tougher than they look; you will be more stressed than she is. 000
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 12/05/20266 books is good, just what a publisher/the internet wants. 000
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Isn't this a little like how we wonder why those in abusive relationships in general don't exit or appear to seek exit? Not logic but about being trapped, caged, in one's own mind; all hope closed off. From outside, if we're not trapped in that way, we can't understand it. (Trying to understand.) 010
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Sounds like a paper or a collab with an anthropologist to write one would be interesting, if you haven't done this already. Community at this scale is a really new things for humans, historically. (And I can tell it hurt to acquire this knowledge.) 260
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 11/05/2026From a rando follower… that sounds like you had an incredibly tough time. Good on ya for (I think) finding yourself. 030
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 10/05/2026For my part, I eventually came up with The Blues Brothers. "No, ma'am. We're musicians." 110
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Ah this is echoing a line from somewhere but I can't pin it down! help! 100

Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I tried getting earlier Sonnet and Opus to write Rust a year ago with mixed results — I had a very particular lock-free copy on write storage design and it constantly broke it. Latest ones are on another level in my experience. 020
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 09/05/2026as a friend put it: perhaps we'll get less "clever code" and maybe that's a good thing. (remembers trying to understand teammate's elegant perl code, shudders. we had to rewrite that stuff to maintain it. made it less clever, less elegant... and better) 020
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 09/05/2026This is amazing. Can see from the approach that this was largely mechanical -- preserve existing architecture down to a micro level, translate to Rust, validate with tests. So the real flex here is not "I used Claude" but "My project was already good so this was possible." But still -- Incredible. 1100
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 06/05/2026that's interesting -- why, specifically? The UX of Junie vs Cursor for the LLM interaction, or something else? (ie what is "experience" referring to and how are those folks weighting that experience?) 100
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 06/05/2026They’ve kept working on it but now also integrate any of the major coding agent harnesses via ACP. New strategy. If you like their IDE then seems like a good idea. 110

Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 27/04/2026I've built out the fraction of what I want from Confluence in a few days after-hours. Very useful as a learning exercise; test is whether I keep it going (I have a rewrite plan.) 000
Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 27/04/2026like a version of the regex joke. "We have a problem! We need your help!" Now you have two problems... if I were asked to help with a person lost/injured, I would (as a person, not as a MAN) feel obligated to help; but due to disabilities and poor competence in this area it is unlikely I'd be asked. 020

Rirelien @rirelien.bsky.social · 05/04/2026"Prediction is hard, particularly about the future." This is such a fundamental attribute of AI systems -- whatever one's positions on harms or benefits. Out-of-distribution is where imo future interest lies, in many fields, including medicine. 010
