Lifelong open sourcer (now at Microsoft), opera band cofounder, parent, and deliciatarian. Love/hate relationships with computers, classical music, and other humans.
We talk about bias in AI, but it hits different when you try to use music generation models to compose remixes in a classical style. Seems like all the hype is about composing in popular styles; it sucks at bach chorales.

Bluesky adoption is weird, because rather than the organic initial growth I remember, these are specific groups of people arriving all at once... and my feed is small enough to notice. Here are a million hardcore redditors! This week it's a million people who like to tweet about gender.

Mathematician and aerospace engineer Mary Jackson worked at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics until it was succeeded by NASA in 1958. Jackson then became the first Black woman to work as a NASA engineer.

Six months since my new fancy espresso machine and I STILL can't draw a latte foam heart. I am apparently gifted at lattte foam blobs, lines, and dick-and-balls, though.

Social media is The Matrix battery banks, converting human bioelectricity to compute power for the algorithms by means of attention and ads. I'm happy we can now do it decentralized, and without ads.
