it’s good actually when systems of thought can tell their own bounds. the vexation of incompleteness is the thomist urge to fit the platonic realm into one’s head like a series of pinned butterflies. instead, even abstract ideal processes are intrinsically dynamic and irreducible to a static moment.

people who have never heard the phrase "recursively enumerable" like to imagine we proved there's a loophole in, like, anything and fundamentally decisions cannot be made about anything

Also in 2015 I had to explain metadata to an intercept journalist working on the snowden docs 😭
whether it was the code used or an early test build.

The conclusions drawn by the reporters, primarily greenwald, were usually wildly off base. No expert has ever actually seen the full cache of documents. The closest was scheier who has very limited and dated expertise and he had unrestricted

They cut care for trans youth on trans day of remembrance right before the holidays. It's not only cowardly, it's sociopathic. They left families scrambling to find care on Thanksgiving.

If you are transgender, you should leave if you can.
Even with the inarguable threats posed by the Trump administration, many still see the idea of leaving the U.S. as an admission of defeat.

... But if you find yourself asking the question, some say “you probably are already in the space where you should be making preparations.” trib.al/p0m7HfZ

Inspired by your post I figured I'd see what kind of infographic AI might produce for your book, A Course in Behavioral Economics. Buckle up!

i have never been nostalgic for the past before i was born and reading history only reinforces this. running water is good. not losing children to preventable diseases is good. human beings not being property is good.

@nhsengland.bsky.social destroyed kids lives by forceably detransitioning them.

This should be front page news (It won't be of course).

Please share this widely.

Is NHSE forcing young people to detransition?
The minutes of a meeting, leaked to NWBylines, strongly indicate NHSE does not want the prescribing of puberty blockers at WellBN to continue

if you consider yourself a trans ally I really desperately need you to stop talking about the gatekeeping you have to go through to get puberty blockers like it's a good thing. it's not "checks and balances"—it's trans healthcare being held to a standard that no other care is held to

My idea (born out somewhat by experiences with business databases and expert systems) is that a system can be accurate often enough that you come to trust it, yet still fail far too often to be helpful overall. The problem is worse when the failure is hard to detect, such as a wrong answer to a ...

The irony is their search has gotten so bad that even when I am sitting in my car desperate to drive to get some last minute thing one of my kids forgot for school or sports, Google can’t send me efficiently somewhere to grab and pay too much for it.

Internal KPIs and McKinsey consultant thinking are leading Google and everyone else to put AI in everything not even necessarily for profit-seeking reasons but because upper management has set up metrics to incentivize everyone to try to maximize usage of whatever feature their bonuses are tied to.

A bigger problem is that "webpages" are being generated by the AI slop engines: more and more garbage that clogs up search results.

The Eric Schmidt era was the peak: 2001-2011. Then Larry took over again and Google mostly coasted along on reputation until Sundar Pichai and Ruth Porat were given the keys in 2015. All downhill since then.

The peak was sometime in 2008 or 2009. Google was adding tools and services of incredible value through the mid to late aughts, including Google Reader (Oct 2005), News Archive Search (June 2006) and Street View (May 2007). They deprecated News Archives in 2010 and shut down Reader in 2013.

2/2 The two things that killed google search's ability to function: the end of the minus sign (-) to eliminate the tons of garbage you know you will get if you give google the chance and the use of ("") to make the fucking thing focus.
