I don’t know how I work. I couldn’t tell you much about neuroscience beyond “neurons are linked together and somehow that creates thoughts”. And even when it comes to complex thoughts, I sometimes can’t explain why. At my job, I often lean on intuition I’ve developed over a decade. I can look at a system and get an immediate sense if it’s going to work well, but actually explaining why or why not takes a lot more time and energy. Am I an LLM?

I woke up screaming last night because I dreamed I went to grab my colored pencils and they said “colour” on the box. Almost as bad as that time I dreamed I had to take a driving tests and all the speed signs were in KM.

Do you have a justified true belief they aren’t the same fig?

The OG. The fact it was all done by a single dude blows my mind. People often praise Toby Fox for the same reason, and he definitely deserves it, but he wasn’t good at programming. Pixel was good at everything: programming, music, writing, and art.

I’ll remember that the next time I enter my PIN number at an ATM machine.

It’s cute enough that it’s worth posting twice

Goes to show how far Blizzard has fallen that they resorted to copying porn characters when they made Overwatch. What happened to all the good character designers?

Probably because the individual engineers working on Takeout care about doing a good job, even though the higher-ups would prefer something half-assed. I work for a major tech company and I’ve been in that same situation before, e.g. when I was working on GDPR compliance. I read the GDPR and tried hard to comply with the spirit of the law, but it was abundantly clear everyone above me hadn’t read it and only cared about doing the bare minimum.

There’s no financial incentive for them to make is easy to leave Google. Takeout only exists to comply with regulations (e.g. digital markets act), and as usual, they’re doing the bare minimum to not get sued.

I asked my goose friend what he thinks about this and he just honked. Though I suspect he didn’t hear me, since he seemed to be busy balancing on his unicycle (his feet can’t reach the pedals, so he has to flap his wings to balance)

Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

The silliest person I know was deadly serious and no-nonsense at work. Their silly side only came out among friends. Maybe you just need to befriend a goose?

Reminds me of this:
