@inthehands GS: AI is a bubble. Q: So, you’re short AI? GS: No, the market can remain irrational longer than I can remain solvent.

@inthehands egg account created today. Too embarrassed to say these things on main.

@inthehands On top of that my already well-funded district raises (presumably) a lot more money via PTA, booster clubs, and other side channels than underfunded districts.

@inthehands in the best of times I tell my staff I want their workload to be 80% mandatory (company sets their priorities) and 20% discretionary (they pick their priorities). The staff who take their discretionary time are consistently more productive than those who just power through on mandatory work.

@inthehands Increasingly I see LLMs as a successor to BI apps. Both X Intelligence apps are marketed with useless flashy gizmos (exploding 3D pie charts!) and black box prediction algorithms. Ultimately they pan out as bad solutions to the wrong problems. The technologists who build and sell these tools don’t try to understand what good analysts do or how to improve our productivity.

@inthehands it’s not so much about being taken in by a con. It’s more that the only leaders left promising we can go back are the con artists.

@inthehands I don’t fully accept the premise that we have fallen into a hole. Compared to 30 or even 15 years ago, USians at large are more likely to believe that Black Lives Matter, that transgender people are human, and the same sex relationships should be honored and celebrated. Following the metaphor, we’re halfway out of the hole. Some are scared of what’s on the outside and seek out beliefs and leaders that promise to bring us back to where we were.

@inthehands google has ~2 decades of tracking when businesses are open, right? Would be amazing to unlock some of that data for trend facts on this.

@inthehands Also the ridiculous tax and food stamps bias against healthy prepared foods in favor of unhealthy processed foods.

@inthehands we once had escaped horses that were eventually secured and everyone who assisted in the effort knew order had been restored except the local sheriff who had been dispatched after the matter was resolved. Communicating that a crisis is over can be tricky.

@inthehands One can suppose that the scope of the search extended through informal channels enough that it made sense to blast a found message to everyone nearby even if they weren’t involved in the search.

I’m not convinced Twitter actually deleted any of my data when I asked them to. At best it’s in a database with deleted = 1 flagged. I attempted to unlike every post I ever liked on Twitter before deleting. But I was limited to unliking the most recent X posts I had ever liked. Which means after I removed the like, Twitter still had a record that I had at some time liked that post.
