Cool, we'll just automate the wishful part of humans and let it drive us off the cliff faster. We need a higher bar for programs than "half the errors of a human, at 10x the speed."

And that’s exactly what the people responsible want. Another layer to launder any culpability, just like consultants, contractors and corporations. The next step is to grant algorithms personhood so we can prosecute them while their creator

I bought a block of Renshape for $80 in design school (a lot of money to me then) and have carried it with me ever since, waiting for the perfect design and also for my modeling skills to be worthy of this goddamn blue monolith. Wait, I can

At best, layers take 10 more weeks to produce. The egg price spiked almost a year ago. Focusing on meat vs egg chickens is beside the point. Cal-Maine’s profit has skyrocketed, even as prices on other things have come back down, so clearly

For me, it’s been almost completely personal relationships. Either people I know from school, previous work, or made acquaintance after presenting at a meetup. All of these environments allowed me to demonstrate that I can get shit done. Pa

The only hint of that in this mostly sympathetic article: When some proposed forming their own self-funded water provider, other residents revolted, saying the idea would foist an expensive, freedom-stealing new arm of government on them.

Loved the amber and the green CRTs, but there were some really bad color choices too, like blue on (washed-out) white LCD, and some laptop (Toshiba?) that was red on black. Which I guess is great for dark mode.

I was probably in the last class in my school where we did mostly hand-drawing, including technical drawings. Annoying but found it useful to practice spatial thinking and precise visual communication. Of course, even harder to be ambiguous

If Doctorow seems like he’s selling his books harder, it’s only because he writes a LOT. Usually his posts have links to previous posts. He writes more in one space than many writers do, so why wouldn’t he hyperlink to his existing thoughts

Yes, and my mother founded an AMI school so you know why I said AMI. :) Though the gentlest person you’ll ever meet, she talks trash at the drop of an hat about AMS, charter schools and nearly every other sect. Hey, her trainer was trained
