Someone with aspirations for higher office.

A channel called Clickspring on Youtube covers the building of a reproduction and also shows a lot of the tooling that could have been used to make it. Well worth watching.

"That's adorable, Piglet." - Tissaia de Vries

Better than my interview at a Apple, where one of the senior engineers who was supposed to interview me didn't show up - twice in a row.

I'd been recommended for the role by colleagues who'd moved to Apple; I gave them some rather pointed feedback for them to pass on to the hiring manager and moved on.


An interviewer that doesn't show up is really bad. Not matter where you work, you'd probably end up having a chat with HR if you did that twice.

Sorry about that buddy!


> I argue that of all things, law should be as deterministic as possible.

It is (probably) impossible to write down a complete list of rules for how to judge even petty crimes. Someone who steals a loaf of bread because their child is starving should not be punished the same way as someone who steals a loaf of bread because they're a kleptomaniac.

No two situations are identical, and the problems start when you try to come up with a one-size-fits-all approach.

A human with sound judgement (and, arguably, some empathy) should be in control.


You can divorce sentencing from understanding what legalities apply to determining guilt.

You can also deterministically ask what characteristics or traits have been considered when applying sentencing and give the precedence for that.


Someone with psychopathic characteristics would lie in their favour. So someone would need to fact check, a doctor would have to check if the children are actually starving? And on the other side, someone who contribute greatly to community and society, should that person get a lower sentence because of that?

This is my favourite kind of post here


Same. Any kind of hyper fixation is infinitely more interesting than AI bullshit.


I don't even think it's a hyperfixation, it's just putting time into a craft (which is also vanishing these days)


There is a hyperfixation on AI to the point you can't even read a post about drawing graphs by hand without it coming up!


Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

No.


AI-unfucker is likely to be a growth industry.


That reminds me, I'll need to stock up on rum so I can cheer the more spectacular detonations.
