10yo: I'll try not to make a mess today.
Me: Thank you, although I'm not sure why you didn't try not to make a mess the other days. -

10yo: Do you want to play with me?

10yo: Do you want to work, though?
Me: Reminder your Christmas presents depend on my continued employment. -

hypolite (hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com)'s status on Monday, 27-Jan-2025 06:00:13 JST hypolite @silverwizard A good abstract is like good slides, they give the direction of the talk but not the details.
You aren’t trying to get clicks so you should state bluntly the context of the talk and its conclusion, this lets people gage if they are interested in the “in-between” part.

hypolite (hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com)'s status on Thursday, 23-Jan-2025 04:27:10 JST hypolite @silverwizard I wasn't particularly unsympathetic to George Soros, but seeing what other billionaires have done with their wealth in the past 5 years, he's earned my respect for becoming a relative outlier even though he hasn't changed course that I know of. -

hypolite (hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com)'s status on Sunday, 19-Jan-2025 15:59:31 JST hypolite @pronoia @liaizon @_elena Unfortunately it isn’t enough. Opinionated moderators now have total control over this editorial issue thanks to the sham poll they ran so any ground-up effort will be summarily squashed. Appeal to the Wikimedia Foundation has been unsuccessful that I know of. -

hypolite (hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com)'s status on Tuesday, 07-Jan-2025 18:47:26 JST hypolite @gedvondur @clacke These American prescription medication TV ads with more time spent listing all the side-effects than the actual effect while random people are happy in slow motion in the background are jarring for anyone who didn’t grow up with them. -

hypolite (hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com)'s status on Sunday, 29-Dec-2024 23:30:20 JST hypolite @silverwizard I agree with the sentiment and I would refine the conclusion further: a very large problem in our current society is that people see computers as responsibility-proof people, not tools which design can be criticized.
1970s science-fiction author couldn’t know better because the technology in their books had to be entirely made-up. It is telling for me that we got to human likeness in chatbots way before we enacted any sort of global computing law that Isaac Asimov envisioned for robots.

hypolite (hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com)'s status on Saturday, 28-Dec-2024 15:10:15 JST hypolite One thing I like about the #Fediverse and the larger #DecentralizedSocialMedia space that private companies will never be able to fully replicate is how some people find their own calling inside this environment and share their work with others. Platform and client developers are obvious example of this, but specialized accounts like @FediTips (ran by @FediThing ) is regularly dispensing helpful meta information about the space even though there’s no material incentive for them to do so.
Thanks to them for their continued efforts to bring everybody who is ready to follow them up to speed with the latest and the little known!
