@DavidSHolz Game of Thrones is a good example of the shift, series went down hill once they ran out of material and started relying on VFX.

[aewister @aewister]

@DavidSHolz Old Star Trek was a play that happened to be set in space. They couldn’t rely on special effects (e.g. Avatar), were forced to focus on story.

@eshear Less ironic, more direct please.
Goals are action oriented. My goal is to run 2 miles in under 13 minutes. I have many such goals.
I believe I have goals that are goals that don’t require special interpretation.

@emollick I have yet to hear of ‘Forward Deployed Product Managers’, but these seem more aligned what companies are looking for.

@qorprate No. I tried many times. To hear him, to sense his presence.
I remember asking the nurses if they'd ever felt anything since they're around people dying all the time. They said no.

His name was Jeffrey David Carlson. There are but few remnants of his life in this world. His books, pictures, tools, and papers - all gone. Nowhere in my house to keep them. I write these short memorials to him.

miss you dad

I remember when I was at university, I visited home for the weekend. On Sunday I drove back to campus and realized I left an important assignment behind. Without hesitation (or being asked) he made the 6 hour round trip to deliver it.

People say time flies. For me at least it doesn't seem so. Met with friends from my days in corporate, it's only been 4 years but feels like a lifetime ago.
Going further back, 10 years since last in the States. Ancient history. 20 years since Iraq. Primeval.

Hmm, noticing this pattern again, but time seems to slow waaay down when I’m learning new things. Been studying electrical engineering for what seems like forever - it’s only been an hour.

@nearcyan You're one of my favorite poasters, but maybe getting off Twitter would help with sleep issues? Generally don't feel good if I spend too much time on this site.

[aewister @aewister]

@qorprate @repligate I feel like your original interpretation was correct. Gaslighting in full effect imo.

[aewister @aewister]

Fall is still my favorite season, but starting to understand why some people don’t like it. It feels like the end, the closing of the story.

[aewister @aewister]

POV: Sitting outside on a beautiful fall day. That rare time of year in Korea when the air is clean and it’s not too hot or cold.

[aewister @aewister]

@qorprate @liminal_warmth By this you mean they start by assuming dark patterns in AI and then look for data to support it?

[aewister @aewister]

@eshear Philosophy is abstraction from reality - sitting in your head thinking. It brings you further from the goal, not closer.
I find those constantly engaged solving real-world problems most in tune with what’s real.

@benhylak My <10 person company uses Linear. I'm proud to say I refuse to use it.

[aewister @aewister]

@typedfemale Hmm, so smart person initializes with ‘ah’, for regular person it’s ‘uh’.

[aewister @aewister]

@FriedKielbasa idk, imo they’re pretty useful.

[aewister @aewister]

@typedfemale People want to be heard, a well structured argument doesn’t work, avoid being overly aggressive.
Good lessons overall in my opinion.

@nearcyan Saw story about mother cat trying to help kitten with broken leg, after 3 days she abandoned it.
Made me think - animals would go insane if they could feel what we do.
