@Hyolobrika People trying to make "scientific models" of stuff to do large scale planning. The models end up being flawed and constantly have negative side effects, the book "Seeing Like a State" has some useful insights on the matter. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scient

One of my cats crawled in her box to rummage in the toys in it. 😭💜

Taylorism is pretty cringe. Wild that so many corpos live and breathe the most simplified version of it as their spiritual guide.

Got home from this AI/ML meetup and my cats are so excited they're literally jumping over each other as they sprint accross the house.

One of my first dips into making a game engine involved using Java's built in JavaScript engine to script Java with JavaScript. The FFI was abysmally slow :P

@lvk TBH I enjoy Java more because at least when it gives me hell I know that's pretty much a limitation of the JVM and there isn't a cleaner and easier way I could do stuff in JS. :P

venting, housing costs 

Ontario housing is so fucked. Tiny shitholes in the middle of nowhere for half a million dollars. Absolute hell world.

“Creative Good: AI isn’t meant for us”

One of my pill bugs escaped my gecko terrarium during cleaning and my cats found it. Managed to get it back in before they ate it :P

@technobaboo Yeah I totally get it. That's why I give folks the easier option too :P

Unions raise wages for ALL workers, by the way.

In the 10 states with the strongest union density in 2020, the average median weekly wages were $1,121.70 — that’s almost $180 more a week than workers in the states with the lowest union densities.

@elementals every time lmoa. I intro myself as "they/them or it/its if you're brave". Basically nobody is brave. I think only one coworker has ever used it?

@j3rn Right now I've had some success by using a matrix puppet bridge to connect to discord. Sadly all the matrix apps scale poorly when you get to the vume of messages and rooms I operate in 😅

Driving after rain on rural roads is a game of "dodge the toad"

@j3rn I need to make a Tusky style app to view Discord messages :P
