software tinkerer and aspiring rationalist. transhumanist and alterhuman

I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible

I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs. this should go without saying but if you're a minor please do not interact with anything lewd/NSFW that I post

I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time

I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

the word “lazy” is used to victim-blame and suspend empathy for others. it’s a thought-terminating cliche. “why do people act like this? it’s because they’re lazy. it’s their fault and they are low-value because of it”

whenever I see the word “lazy” I try to remind myself to step back from the situation, have compassion for the people being labeled, and ask myself “what is actually the problem? is this a learned behavior? is this a neurotype thing? is this a product of hidden societal forces? does it come from trauma? how can others help them?”

nobody is simply “lazy”. it is always more complicated than that

kinky, funny

how to enslave a trans girl:

  • google “reparenting affirmations”
  • say them to her, but make them sound kinky and dominant
  • bonus: use the phrase “good girl” as often as possible

that’s it. she’ll be begging you to collar her in no time

they should make a version of the Haskell docs that you can read without a degree in abstract algebra

ugh okay I give up on learning Common Lisp. it’s just
 extremely not a language for me

I’m going to try Scheme next, and then maybe Clojure if I don’t like Scheme. and if I don’t like Clojure then I’ll try Janet. and if I don’t like any of them then I’m going to conclude that the only good thing about Lisps are the S-expressions and the metaprogramming

Linux complaining
Show content

I hate how much Linux relies on bash scripts, which might be the least portable and least readable scripting language they could’ve chosen

I literally can’t even sync my .bashrc files between Linux systems because the prewritten gobbledegook is different for each system and they aren’t compatible with each other

oh, you’ve been doing your own research? I’d love to have a look at the P-values. you’ve made sure that your hypothesis is falsifiable right? and I’m sure you have a very solid and nuanced understanding of the data that would be expected if the null hypothesis is true, right?

and clearly you must be highly knowledgeable and qualified in the field, to be overturning decades of scientific studies - presumably through in-depth meta-analyses of the relevant research

oh - you’re not? your criticism must be much more fundamental, then. you must know a lot about epistemology, the scientific method, and what constitutes “justified belief”
 right?

shoutout to the random WoW player who told me “shadow dance is the entire point of subtlety rogue. you should play as assassination rogue instead if you don’t want to use it”

I hope you’re enjoying your life as a fun-hating optimization-poisoned tryhard

As I understand it, a character "being in the public domain" isn't a thing, that's just sort of how fans tend to think about it cus we tend to see characters as discrete units. I am not an expert on copyright law and I refuse to learn, but my impression at lest is that specific works featuring a character can be in the public domain and that makes the character de facto in the public domain as long as you draw soely from those works.

The Doyle estate have been famously persnickety about Sherlock Holmes adaptions containing elements from the later stories, which was still under copyright for a while (it's a moot point now, if i dont misremember all of Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain so as long as he doesnt look like Benedict cumberbatch, you can write all the Sherlock Holmes yaoi you could possibly want).

“we have Lisp at home”

the Lisp at home:

from operator import mod, add, eq, mul

[print(
   (str(i), "fizz", "buzz", "fizzbuzz")
     [add(eq(0, mod(i, 3)),
          mul(2, eq(0, mod(i, 5))))])
 for i in range(1,21)]

people need to stop abbreviating their content warnings omg

there’s a post on r/GoneWildAudioTrans and one of its content warnings is “very light sph*” and I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean, which defeats the whole purpose of it being a content warning. and I can’t google for it either because it’s got a special character in it

and tbh googling for content warning abbreviations generally doesn’t work anyway because stuff like “uspol” or “mh-“ is too obscure to have meaningful results
