Timpanogos Slim @timpanogosslim.bsky.social · 10/10/202613 years ago i was a certified scrum master, and the main thing i still retain from that training is the fact that the beginning of a project is the worst possible time to try to plan it to the end. Because you can't even imagine the reasons why your idea of the future are wrong. 020
Timpanogos Slim @timpanogosslim.bsky.social · 09/10/2026In 2012, the GSA contractor i was working for at the time announced that off-base office workers could have the 4/10 or 5-4/9 schedules available to on-base workers. I opted for 5-4/9 (9 hours a day, every other friday off) and i never stopped getting shit for that from the boss. 020
Timpanogos Slim @timpanogosslim.bsky.social · 07/10/2026There are cis people who are entirely sympathetic to trans people. But they are for sure a minority. I feel like this is the same sort of situation as inspired social services administrations to preferentially hire people who themselves required social services to survive in the past. 000
Timpanogos Slim @timpanogosslim.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Nah, it's an LLM, even if it's focused on math. Math proofs are big blocks of text with some interspersed numbers. 120
Timpanogos Slim @timpanogosslim.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I guess? I'm an LLM skeptic and hater. I admit that i have a failure in my own imagination with regard to how much i think a stochastic parrot can help me. I never use this shit. The major LLMs are designed to tell people what they want to hear. I hate that, even from a human. 120
Timpanogos Slim @timpanogosslim.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yeah, my take is that a lot of people who work in theoretical spaces are happy to take advantage of an LLM as a collaborator. As a frequent rubber ducky, often, all i can do is feign that i kinda get what a theoretical mathematician is saying. I don't doubt that an LLM has more to say. 070
Timpanogos Slim @timpanogosslim.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I'm no mathematician either, but i grew up in a college town, and in my 20s near a fifth of my friends were math majors. I count as personal friends a few people with Erdős numbers under 4. I get used as a rubber ducky regularly by one of them. 000

Timpanogos Slim @timpanogosslim.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Decided to have a tuna melt sandwich for dinner. The black cat raised hell to remind me that he wants the juice from the can. When i gave him the tuna juice, the lynx point gave me a "What about me?!" look. I reminded him that he doesn't like fish, and his brother doesn't like dairy. 001
Timpanogos Slim @timpanogosslim.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I have a lot of respect for Goober Andy. I've never lived in Kentucky, but a good friend of mine has lived there for decades, and once wrote a letter to the Courier-Journal containing his argument that the state should change the official name to "The Corrupt Governor of Kentucky" 000
Timpanogos Slim @timpanogosslim.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It's like people don't know that the LLMs are spying on you. 020
Timpanogos Slim @timpanogosslim.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Also, most livestock operations, of any size, are against this change. Not because they love the meatpacker cartel, no. Because when anybody farks up, no matter how small, the market goes soft for absolutely all of them. 000

The Houthis are rapidlt advancing on the Bab Al-Mandab strait and could block shipping traffic there soon. 18447122

Timpanogos Slim @timpanogosslim.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I'm only math-adjacent. Only two out of the four math majors i knew in my college days are currently paid for their math knowledge. I'm just the nephew of a physicist who works in software. But one of my mathematician friends has been nibbling at Collatz for decades. And I'm a rubber ducky. 020
