Sean @theonesean.bsky.social · 08/07/2026i say this as a fan of innovation in sports! just, like, the computers aren't perfect, and making decisions blindly based on sensor data when the results are imperceptible to the naked eye (watching slow-mo 4k video) might not be a great idea. idk. 000
Sean @theonesean.bsky.social · 08/07/2026things like ABS, first down calculations, and (most relevant recently) offsides detection from sensors in the ball -- these things have margins of error that aren't 0. 100
Sean @theonesean.bsky.social · 08/07/2026the adoption of tech in sports seems to be inspiring a level of techno-chauvinism where we lose any nuance about the flaws and inaccuracy of tech compared to humans. 100
Sean @theonesean.bsky.social · 05/07/2026my toxic trait is that I feel manually taring scales is for weaklings. just do the math in your head 000
Sean @theonesean.bsky.social · 28/04/2026One of the things I really like about RCV is that, in elections where there are multiple acceptable candidates, it makes it possible to avoid a lot of the overhead of “tactical” voting, which has always seemed undemocratic and distasteful to me. 000

Sean @theonesean.bsky.social · 04/08/2025honestly AI is great but I wish that Apple could develop a feature that would detect when I only have one earbud in and switch the audio to mono 020

Sean @theonesean.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Or, at the very least, it's not _solely_ Sabrina Carpenter's responsibility. It's our responsibility to educate the young people in our lives about the systems that exist around art like this, and why it might be potentially harmful when taken at face value. 110
Sean @theonesean.bsky.social · 12/06/2025A lot of the criticism here smells like "what will my 12-year-old niece think about this" and, like, whether or not the album cover is harmful/misogynistic, it is not Sabrina Carpenter's responsibility to make art that's anodyne enough to be palatable and unharmful to 12-year-olds. 151

Sean @theonesean.bsky.social · 20/03/2025google's AI is literally 100 years out of date (and unhelpful for studying for the NYC Sightseer's Guide test) the last time MSG was at Madison Square Park was literally in 1925 000
Sean @theonesean.bsky.social · 11/03/2025i used to teach my CS students that computers are "smart in a dumb way" -- i.e. powerful, but extremely literal. if you tell it to do something, even if it's questionable or wrong, it'll do it. LLMs reverse this paradigm; i'd call them "dumb in a smart way," making assumptions to get an answer. 000
