ELO BITCH!

A perennial viral complaint I've seen on FB, reddit, etc., for ~5 years is parents saying that kids the same age as their own kids have weird/ridiculous/bad names.

The comments of these posts are full of people saying things like "don't these parents realize how stupid these names are? Not like my kid, who has a normal name like Gary". But if the complaint is that almost all kids in the class have a "weird" name, aren't these "weird" names going to be normal for the kid and the kid's peers?

List of allegedly ridiculous names: Ellanora Silas Ethel Emmanuel Karsonn Sarah Vecepia Alexandriana Andrea Greysin Adelainia Edwardu Serbia Lucas Ezra Silas

This is not a software glitch, it's the Y1C problem: old mainframes were so storage-constrained that they only allocated two decimal digits for passenger age, and adding another digit would mean rewriting software that in some cases has been in use and constantly patched since the late 1950s.

I find the set of topics that programmers absolutely lose their minds about absolutely fascinating.

One example is "furry-style" cartoons. As mentioned in https://twitter.com/altluu/status/1479541394884771847, lobste.rs had to ban everyone who loses their mind when they see these cartoons; before the bans every discussion on a post with these kinds of cartoons turned into a flamewar about whether someone can be taken seriously if they have cartoons on their website.

HN also nukes these comments for the same reason.

I'm reading Lamport's new book "A Science of Concurrent Programs" and am amused that sometimes he refers to algorithms as being "invented" (e.g., Paxos) and at other times refers to them as being "discovered" (e.g. an N-process mutual exclusion algorithm).

• Those who are highly trained
• Those who use the word "octothorpe"
• Strays
• Members of the Antimemetics Division
• Those included in the present classification
• Those who shiver as if they are cold
• Those who are not countable
• Components of group minds
• Others
• Those who have just broken a cherished coffee mug
• Those who from a long way off look like punctuation

It feels extremely insincere to ask ChatGPT to turn “writes good code” into a performance review which it does with eloquence.

It feels as fake as a birthday card to send that as feedback to someone and as a manager to read it. Yet this is life now.

All that’s needed to complete this circle of insecurity is for everyone to also use ChatGPT to summarize performance reviews so we spend a ton of electricity to add then remove a bunch of obfuscation to our communication.

Harvard grad here. Stupid question, but which president was it that said women’s were no good at the math and science stuff? Is it the one now in charge of the future of AI? I don’t know, my silly little girl brain can’t keep all the misogyny straight.
