is 'i would prefer not to have work applications on my personal machine for security reasons' a sufficiently mild euphemism for 'i think the corporate security department must be fucking idiots and i no longer trust them not to literally give me a trojan'?
i'm glad i'm not more popular/trusted because then it would become morally questionable to think in public. the odds that a stranger would do something weird because of a minor factual error i made in a stoned shitpost would skyrocket.

Rust is the latest open source project to face burnout • The Register https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/22/rust_project_burnout/
the core skill of a software engineer is not programming. it's having enough of a totally-unjustified mystique, and buying into it enough, to be able to say 'no, fuck off' to management until they finally ask you to do something that's not completely stupid. that's actually much more important, anyway. anybody with a high tolerance for frustration can code, but jester's privilege is much more rare.
if you really want to destroy the most ethical people in your society, create a honey-trap where they are promised that they can do good for humanity but make it so that, actually, for every tiny benefit to mankind, they make sure it's contingent upon all sorts of complicated factors so the people who need it can't get it, & also have a lot of frustration and unnecessary paperwork. good people will shovel themselves into the meatgrinder, tread water as long as they can, and eventually burn out so bad that they can't do anything ever again.
'trust the process' is just chesterson's fence for people on the other side of the two cultures divide. don't @ me
nothing i've ever read or heard about rust has dispelled my immediate first impression, which is that it's basically c for people who like haskell. between this and finding that the rust compiler won't build from source on a standard toolchain the last couple times i tried, i have very little interest. i like weird high-concept programming languages, and rust seems to be in the same basic category as scala (too weird for the normies but too normal for me).
browser monopolization discourse is sort of (though not entirely) pointless because, while we certainly can't trust google, the browser landscape has never not been heavily monopolized by large arguably-evil corporations with lots of w3c influence, and that w3c influence has manifested a spec that cannot be implemented without the resources of a large arguably-evil corporation. on top of that, the purported alternatives (ex., firefox) are dependent upon google's continued goodwill anyhow. like, this matters because we've trapped ourselves in browserland for no good reason and relatively few technical people have bothered to find out how to escape. but the way the web is specced out directly encourages and supports monopolization; even if we didn't have a browser monopoly/oligopoly every website is still structured like a monopoly because of the way addressing works so anything that uses web tech is doomed to a monopoly-adjacent state.
i don't trust people who aren't hard on themselves, because they're just gonna do shit with the expectation that i'm gonna be hard on them, and i don't want to be the policeman in somebody else's head

Band name of the day: the rust proof bottoms
nagatoro & kaguya-sama are both organized around playing intimacy-chicken and i actually like this as an improvement on the format you used to see in rom-coms in the 90s & naughts, where the characters are genuinely conflicted about their relationship & are either extremely accident-prone or literally just go into a fugue state where they don't care about consent. rom-coms of this breed need to extend the will-they-won't-they state as long as possible while also providing fanservice, so stuff needs to happen that normally would seem couple-y without the protagonists actually being a couple. the intimacy-chicken model gives these characters agency, ensures that every interaction is mutually consensual, and structures things so that the eventual payoff is inherently the result of character growth: these characters are only kept apart by their own internal hangups, and as they grow into a state where they feel comfortable loving and being loved, they naturally transition from this kind of plausibly-deniable mutual teasing into a comfortable intimacy based on familiarity and care. whereas in love hina (to pick probably the most egregious example not to involve a literal aspiring-rapist) basically just has god-the-author reach down and deus ex machina keitaro into boob grabs and panty flashes multiple times an episode so he can get his ass beat until these women get stockholm-syndromed somehow into thinking he's admirable. when there's a boob grab in nagatoro, it may be accidental but it's the direct result of an activity both people entered into specifically because of the risk of accidental boob-grabbing. there's room for overlap here: rent-a-girlfriend (which i like a bit better than most, not despite but because of the way that the main character's character flaws are highlighted -- they are pretty typical flaws for the kind of guy whose romantic frustrations & lack of perspective could easily lead him down an incel pipeline but who also could develop into a functional human being) has characters who like the MC despite their better judgement, or who like the MC for reasons that are not based on his character, and who deal with the ramifications of being involved with somebody who has a lot of growing to do before he's actual boyfriend material -- something that i think every straight girl has experience with, and that every guy who has grown out of early patriarchal conditioning remembers from the other side with a generous helping of cringe.
the problem with LLMs is that, for human beings, words are tied up in a network of desire and affiliation not just with other words (which corpus statistics models) but with beliefs, behaviors, habits, memories, media objects, management and logistical decisions, legal complications and bets about the probability of enforcement, traditions, emotional tantrums, honey bee population densities, the changing shape of eggplant and cabbage, and bets on bets on estimates on bets regarding the unknown content of the bowels of the earth which we must seek advice from the digitized memories of a hundred dead expert geologists in simulation to even begin to orient ourselves. everything but the words is lost, so there is no concept of bad faith (when the words are isolated and out of sync with the rest); as a result, everything, for the language model, is in bad faith. (bad faith is not totally useless; if it can be recognized and detourned, it becomes the house built from the master's pilfered tools.) how can we trust a machine that has no bank account, cannot be sued, cannot be punched in the nose? it's not just that it doesn't know what a sunset looks like, but that it has no way of caring about being wrong about sunsets.
chaos magick is an offshoot of punk rock, and shares a lot of attributes with punk & other punk offshoots -- both positive (a distrust of authority & tradition, a willingness to strip away the bullshit) and negative (lots of poseurs who hang around for aesthetic reasons & so they can use it as a justification for shitty behavior)

re: 'ai in medicine' -- in the 60s and 70s, there were expert systems for blood diseases & for oncology. from what i gather, they were pretty good, and were used as diagnostic aids in several hospitals. but naturally, any doctor who just trusted those systems instead of consulting them skeptically would be in a state of sin, with regard to medical ethics. importantly, expert systems are not statistical: they are the product of individual experts explicitly describing their decision-making and getting that decision-making encoded. statistical systems have a nasty habit of modeling the wrong things: consider the image classifier trained to identify cancerous tumors that actually identified pencils (because the pictures of cancerous tumors had pencils pointing to the tumors, being repurposed teaching aids). statistical systems also tend to model exactly as things are, rather than as they should be: a statistical model of pain medication prescription would have a dose inversely proportional to skin pigmentation because doctors systematically prescribe lower doses of pain meds to darker-skinned people, but no expert system would capture that because doing so would require a doctor to outright tell an interviewer to make their robot more racist. all of this is to say that statistical systems have a hard time taking advantage of the human capacity to identify salient features, and basically can't take any advantage at all of the human tendency to second-guess our instincts and try to counteract our worst unconscious biases when primed to be explicit. these two factors -- keeping a human expert in the loop in both the training phase and the usage phase -- are what made medical expert systems useful tools instead of systematic killers, and those two factors are exactly what a lot of statistical machine learning projects are trying to eliminate (since doing so transfers power away from expensive human experts and toward machines that can be shut off or modified at the demands of mangement)

Current norms around meaning-making cannot survive the slow collision with widespread private ownership of duplication & broadcast technologies. Attempts to deal with this through 'trust in institutions' are doomed -- institutions in general have never been trustworthy enough to justify the kind of power we have given them out of necessity, & are prone to exactly the same problems as individual meaning-making is now encountering (though this was less detectable because fewer centers of meaning-making were involved in the age of three TV networks and two newspapers). When we double down on the kind of media literacy that served us well during that era, we get conspiracy culture. What actually could pull us through to a new stable state? Norms about research. Not adequately considering alternative explanations for some piece of information is inconsiderate in exactly the same way as being late for an appointment is -- it means you've wasted someone else's time by considering yours more valuable. We should treat overconfidence -- i.e., a failure to second-guess yourself -- as at least as rude, since it wastes other people's time on an even larger scale.

if your game doesn't have a manifesto you run the real risk of it being based off the unstated boring & problematic manifesto that people hold in their heads when they don't think very hard about intent. the whole 'themes come after writing and publishing' thing is really a kind of conservative attitude. there will be themes sure but they might be really shitty themes that you wouldn't agree with after some thought. why not pack in some more? why not have more than enough, just in case? over the top is fine. tacky is fine. too much is never enough. just make sure it's not lame and boring. if you are a lame and boring person and you trust your intuition to put in themes for you, you will have lame and boring themes. don't do that.

Until software engineering becomes professional, does it even make sense to trust software engineers with technical decisions? Maybe we should be trusted, at most, to provide reasonable defaults to almost-inevitably be overridden by users.
