Starting to set up the framing of the north wall of the new workshop. Two interesting problems here:
1. Am I going to want a large door in this wall? I think I can't have one, because I want either the east or the west wall to be removable to allow more light and space in summer; but I really need to think about this!
2. The shape of the foundation is very squint. Consequently, although the north and south walls will be parallel, the east and west won't. I have some int…
None of the above is even proper neuroscience or psychology. It’s just a framing of the question, a way to avoid ridiculous assumptions and broken approaches, a way to avoid hurting people.
Variation is normal. Let’s expect it, design for it, work •with• it — in others, and in ourselves.

A lot of conversations about neurodivergence take the form of the first image below. I’m arguing to adopt the framing of the second image instead (except 100- or 1000-dimensional instead of 2-dimensional).
We’ve identified a few clusterings in a space of extraordinary and beautiful variation, and given those clusterings names. How useful those names are! How little they capture, even so! How much variation remains unnamed! How much variation must exist within every human being!

Man I hate the new language for a task one doesn't want to do — "aversive”.
Primary reason is that it externalizes the problem. It's fixed mindset framing, that something _else_ has to change to make the situation better, that it's the task's fault for being aversive, instead of our own for not working on the aversion to the needed task.
We have a bad habit lately of attributing relational traits to the party in a relationship, rather than to the relationship itself and it weakens our thinking about things. Noticing this pattern really changes how you think, because you can start attributing things better and noticing the contexts — and contexts are often things that can be changed!
"...there isn’t enough new housing to make a dent on affordability. "
What I don't understand is why journalists keep framing this as a simple supply and demand - if only we let developers build, the price will come down.
When the reality is developers will build if and only if one condition is met: Buyers (or landords) will pay a price that meets the developers profit targets. And we see evidence of that in the timelines looking at selling price vs construction…

«LLMs are copyright removal devices - copy open source (or proprietary!) data into it, and you get copyright free data on the other side that you are free to plagiarize into newly copyrighted works. While this process robs all copyright owners, it is particularly damaging to people involved in sharing communities, since many are particpating not for money but for the love of the game - what librarian Fobazi Ettarh calls “vocational awe”.»

Just finished "I'm Awful, Thanks" by Lara Pickle. A good story that serves as a guide to managing emotions, although it's actually a cute story too, not just framing for the mental health discussion.
That said, I feel like it doesn't get far enough into the details of accepting self-control as our only form of real control vs. understanding that some events outside our control aren't fair or are others' attacks, and trying to manage our own emotions as our only response is a disservice to ourselves and others. Even further, I suspect that the HR resolution depicted here, while not impossible, is less frequent than much worse outcomes, which is part of a larger pattern of systemic assaults on our mental health that aren't totally solvable with individual emotional regulation.
Sure, leveling up one's control of ones own emotions and learning to accept and manage a range of emotions is super useful and it's a good thing overall, but the systemic problems of late stage capitalism are real, and making it seem like everyone is responsible for managing their own mental health in the face of these problems helps avoid confronting them.
Still, it's a good book overall, with vibrant art and a well-structured plot.

The framing of digital pollution does mirror environmental pollution, e.g. in rivers and streams in many ways: In those, pollution can be coming from concentrated "point-sources" as well from more diffuse "non-point" sources. Including the problem of "too much of a good thing", where an excess of matter creates an eutrophication of an ecosystem that ultimately asphyxiates it.
Beyond being an apt metaphor, can we learn something from environmental science for online communities?

This framing doesn’t even touch the crucial forces of ego and identity formation and craving for belonging that are the bedrock of fascist movements like MAGA. Others are thinking productively about that, and it’s at least as important here!
That belief-as-identity phenomenon is also time-based. Somebody posted about those Young Republicans and their Telegram messages grooming and being groomed for fascism, and that’s right: it’s not just the existence of the fascist space; it’s the sustained process of drawing people in over time.

This is genuinely terrifying. Google Scholar is pushing "AI Powered Scholar Search."
What's scariest about this is that it will almost certainly turn up results that feel *right* -- they'll mention relevant topics and let a researcher craft a perfectly unassailable reference list.
But what it will prevent the researcher from doing is the actual research of finding relevant publications: discovering connections, framing questions, identifying contrasts…
Musing on this post from @…: “Shared reality” is a direly important idea right now, but agreed: it’s missing something, hiding something.
A more useful framing might involve •time•. How long does it take for an idea to meet empirical challenge? What is the convergence time for differing understandings? What is the FA-to-FO latency?

I do think that this framing isn't fully correct. "Open Source" often has a libertarian (and therefore explicitly non-left) bend. It can be put into left thinking and politics but it works just as well in more right-wing logics. (See Golumbia, Cyberlibertarianism)
