i know, i'm starting to sound like a stuck record, but since i've gotten hooked on air accident documentaries, i've learned what actually trying to do a good job looks like outside of the software industry and damnit if i don't see things we could do better.

of course they expect a bit more than phoning it in if you want to put a plane in the air.

my god, i'm reading phrases like "normalization of deviation" and "alarm fatigue". it's like somebody's discovered 'human factors', as practiced in aviation for decades, apply to software too.

@ecn @davidgerard this is logically true of course and I have been saying it for years now but everyone also needs to know that it is now empirically validated https://flipboard.com/@thenextweb/ecosystems-aj8kk6atz/-/a-KvDNdak0T5CTTNZhqtllzg%3Aa%3A47933081-%2F0

So when somebody tries to defend their use of these tools because a human is still reviewing it remember that they're lying - to you and to themselves.

They know there's problems with these tools, and are trying to convince themselves that somehow it's fine and you should stop calling out for their poor choices.

I can attest with the utmost confidence that every developer or manager or whoever that claims "all code written by AI is reviewed by a human" is a boldfaced lie.

AT BEST they have quickly skimmed it, but more likely they've not looked at it at all.

Actually reading code THAT YOU DID NOT WRITE YOURSELF takes quite a bit of time, and the one thing that people who use AI tooling care most about is just how fast it makes things.

They will not spend the time needed to actually read it.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@neuroinformatics/116851125455601659

I'll be in Barcelona for #FENS2026 next week, presenting a poster about https://movement.neuroinformatics.dev/, and also hanging around our team's other posters (details in quoted post).

Drop by if you want to chat about any of these projects or just to say hi!

What's better for a researcher working to publish a project but also applying for fellowships and with their current contract ending in 1 year?

1. Make a paper with a focused claim that might not go in "high impact" journal because it's too focused (and perhaps work on other findings from the same data later) but would be ready faster
2. Make a paper with several claims which might have a bigger chance of "high impact" but will take several additional months to be finished?

I'm a Google Workspace admin, and a team member sent me a screenshot showing that a message they wanted to send was being blocked because it violated an organizational policy-- which was news to me-- I hadn't put in place to block messages based on their content.

Turns out Google Workspace now warns by default when the message content mentions gender identity.

I will never understand why so many activists still use generative images for their content, and rely on big tech for communications and organizations when there are now so many practical, more secure, and much more ethical alternatives.

Your principles aren't just to be stated, they must also be embodied and integrated in your work.

We must show by example what can be done with ethical tech and ethical practices.

A Fedi version of Queer Eye:

Five autistic queer Fedifolk (one in a fur suit) travel to help out a regular person each episode.

By the end of the episode, the team have degoogled the recipient, installed a thoughtfully selected Linux distro on their formerly-windows machine, replaced much of their software with open source alternatives, stocked their home library with Murderbot novels and cozy queer SF, and given the recipient a new Special Interest to hyperfocus on.

The past six years have been the hardest of my life. I'll write about it one day, I will. It's wild. Worth a series. I'm just not ready yet so I'll vaguebook for now.

Recently though, I've felt like a lot of what I've been working to overcome is starting to pay off. I feel like I can take on the world again. I feel stronger and wiser.

Anyway, I just ate my fav pizza and about to watch my fav trilogy— The Dark Knight 🦇
