Sufficiently burned by bad interview experiences this year that my brain refuses to get excited about a potential interview. "Let's wait to see if they want a code test, or maybe never call back, or whatever." But still. Getting a call is better than not getting a call.

The power of seeing just one or two other people wearing a mask while I am wearing a mask in a big public space is something I think we don't talk about enough. Maybe we can't fix each other's risk overall but you decrease my isolation and the potential negative attention of other people on me and as a covid disabled person in this terrible world, that really matters

The reason we're still talking about 9/11 and ignoring COVID is because 9/11 served as a pretext and COVID was seen as an inconvenience by the ruling elite. And even they seem bored with it, to be honest.

I've been asked to comment on what I think the biggest tech trend in 2024 will be? Short answer: Slavery and let me tell you why. Data is the lifeblood that allows any machine learning model to perform its task. It’s not magic. It’s not the so-called “AI” being intelligent or intuitive. It’s statistics. And as the tech sector delves into rapid developments of specialised LLMs that they can further commoditise, they will require vast amounts of diverse data to train—leading to what some have called as data hunting. And unfortunately, all of us who have posted even a single piece of content online are all part of this—whether we like it or not. We are now part of a universal digital sweatshop that transcends international borders. Our labour is ignored and uncompensated based on the capitalist belief that since we shared content freely, companies have the right to monetise it whenever they want. Time and time again, as we have seen in recent news, companies have collected our data without explicit consent. And when they do ask for ‘consent’, they give us word salad in the user agreements or just ask us to opt our way out of the inferno that they manufactured. The aggressive collection of data paves the way for a future where a few corporations will have disproportionate control over vast datasets, which they can exploit for unwarranted targeted advertising, surveillance and practices that would reinforce biases or unfairly influence individual choices and behaviours. And let’s not forget the second step in the process where people (they call as taskers), mostly from the Global South, are hired for 2 USD a day to classify images, videos and texts so that your LLMs will not spew out gibberish. This is the reality behind your glamorous “AI” models. While “AI” companies in the developed world reap huge profits, the groundwork is outsourced to workers in Bangladesh, Kenya, the Philippines and India. But it is fine, isn’t it? As long as we don’t see them. Out of sight, out of mind.
I partially updated mine recently but there's still a large swathe of blogs I need to add back into it 😅

After *years* of mild bemusement about why an adult would enjoy building Lego, my wife has suddenly become obsessed with building Lego, and has decided she needs to buy ’the biggest ever Lego set’. Although she does still insist on calling it Legos because she knows how much it infuriates me.

Workers: DO NOT OVERWORK YOURSELF to avoid getting laid off. - You’re damaging your life and health. - Your employer doesn’t actually notice (no, really, they don’t.) - Your behavior enables future mismanagement of resources. - When layoffs come, you’re gonna get laid off anyway. Remember that a company’s job is to extract maximum work from you for minimum pay, so your job is to extract maximum pay for minimum work. Somewhere in the middle, both parties find an equilibrium that they agree on. Do not voluntarily modify your side of the bargain to your detriment. #FridayDevAdvice

cool fact: the original luddites didn’t oppose technology but rather the bosses using new tech to disenfranchise workers! the bosses then had the luddites murdered in the streets and their arguments were replaced with “tech bad 🤢” to prevent others from carrying on their challenge to industrial authorities

🆕 blog! “Who reads my blog?” Hello! Thank you for reading what I write. Sorry to ask, but… who are you?
