trans rights are human rights because what we are fighting for is the fundamental right to be able to define who we are, and the government is fighting so hard to take this away from us because once they do then they've taken it away from everyone

It occurs to me that commands with a '--dry-run' option have the safety interlock backwards. The dangerous or destructive operation should default to a dry run unless you specifically crank the "yes I'm sure" lever.

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

A slightly unhinged calculator fact: in the golden era of electronic calculators, some Japanese shopkeepers were reluctant to trust the newfangled tool, so Sharp made a line of combination calculator / abacus devices.

Here's a photo, next to some other stuff I own.

(Context: The Juicero was a very expensive machine that came with a DRM lock and could almost perform a simple task some of the time. It's a useful key to understanding Silicon Valley madness.)

Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. A vital shift is underway in juicing. The Juicero is no longer optional. It's tomorrow's future, today. 40% of jobs are impacted by the Juicero. The Juicero isn't the future, it's a present necessity. Nobody hand-juices anymore. To hand-juice is like an impairment. Everyone must now focus on the delegation and the verification of a juice. We become less juice producers and more juice enablers. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. We are burning every forest and poisoning every river to produce more Juiceros. You will become obsolete if you don't get on the Juicero bandwagon. Students must not be taught how to hand-juice. 80% of jobs will be lost to the Juicero. Students must be taught to exclusively focus on how to collaborate with the Juicero. Education must focus on orchestrating agentic Juicero systems. The Juicero is inevitable. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. Adapt or risk becoming obsolete. As the Juicero rapidly advances toward automating up to 90% of juicing, the skills that will matter most include juice design, Juicero fluency, juice delegation, and juice quality assurance. 110% of jobs have been replaced by the Juicero.
