played Hitman 2 for a bit & was thinking how kind of exaggerated the 2nd target is, like, he's tech tycoon & arms dealer & race team sponsor & secret society member... went to bed, and ended up reading this article about the owner of Loona's management m.koreatimes.co.kr/pages/article.asp?newsIdx=175271Permalink Look on archive.org

@everestpipkin part of why I was so emphatic in the first tweet was because I was surprised by my initial reaction looking through the images - I didn't expect to feel so joyous. but then, as I look more and poke at the attached context, I definitely feel creepy & feel vulnerable.Permalink Look on archive.org

@jseakle so i also nod along to the first bit, but immediately swerve to a horrified face for the second bit. here's some things I think this analysis is missing...Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@jseakle i'm not convinced that there's an especially strong match between the popular conception of "trad" and what has actually been around for a long time. popular conceptions of history reveal as much about modern points of view as they do historical viewpoints.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@jseakle (or views on ancient history are coloured by less ancient history. the Romans & Greeks are salient because of Western intellectual traditions that revered "the Classics". but other ancient cultures are available & our view on the Romans is coloured by that pticlar historiography)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@jseakle the other thing is that this flattens our the power struggles inherent in any particular society. these traditions were good: for who? who benefitted from them, who had more power to shape them, whose voices are we listening to?Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@jseakle i think both of these factors can lead you in quite an honest way to a racist & sexist place. but it's also possible to start from a racist & sexist place and then work back to "trad" as a way of laundering those opinions. which is why my Very Sus Face at the turn.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@jseakle will also say... the rationalist community doesn't have the best of reputations when it comes to not being racist or sexist (or in not throwing up clouds of justification & verbiage when accused of that). so that part kinda carries over.Permalink Look on archive.org

@naomialderman practically, i think most young people would just bypass the NHS services and get a private referral. which will have been the preferred route anyway, due to waiting times. believe most under 18s referred to the NHS GICs don't get seen until they're over 18 anyway...Permalink Look on archive.org

@naomialderman I don't know what they're doing in practice (tho GenderGP still seems to be treating under 16s), but the court case left Gillick competence intact - it was the choice of the NHS GIC to suspend treatment without a court order, not a legal requirement.Permalink Look on archive.org

@pillowfort which is... nice? nice to have that representation and all that. but it's bad when that & the expectation for that pushes out the space for stuff that gets messy & weird & tangled up in the details of what this might mean, bad consequences, taking things to extremes.Permalink Look on archive.org

@ohhoe my advice is to find an algorithm or a technique that seems interesting, and then implement that. but if you get interesting bugs, see if you want to keep them. if there are choices, play with them. layer in complexity, explore the system.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ohhoe have fun!!!Permalink Look on archive.org
-
on publishing contracts: advice I've heard about negotiating this kind of contract is to assume that the person you like and are dealing with gets bought out or quits their job, and you're now dealing with an greedy arsehole instead. and negotiate so that you won't be screwed.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
this also means that the negotiation isn't about accusing the other party of wanting to do shady shit. it's not them, it's what happens if they're not there! ideally you like & trust them now - most of the contract is about what happens when things go wrong.Permalink Look on archive.org

-
i've always wanted to implement Floyd-Steinberg, and I find the way the error correction makes it shift & shimmer fascinating and beautiful. it also means that you can't do it on the GPU! so this was a fun excuse to write an image mangling algorithm that has to be on the CPU.Permalink Look on archive.org

which was a great excuse to try out a tech stack that is wobbly and new, like Bambi on the ice. but that also promises to make single threaded, compute-bound calculations in the browser faster.Permalink Look on archive.org

@any_user depends what you need it for? Rust has a pretty steep learning curve (for me, certainly, not knowing C++). the wasm bits work reasonably well, and getting set up is not too painful. seems like the stuff it does, it does well enough.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@any_user but the big thing is: is your problem that your JS code doesn't have native compiled performance? the bottleneck is likely to be elsewhere (network, browser API calls etc). and even if it isn't, I'd likely first reach for web workers etc to parallelise the problem.Permalink Look on archive.org

@any_user so this project was definitely chosen because I wanted to mess around with the tech, rather than because the tech solved an existing problem. but it is cool tech & I can see myself using it in the future - but that's mainly because I like Rust.Permalink Look on archive.org
