@pavelasamsonov@mastodon.socialProcess creates friction, so we got rid of process. But that friction was necessary for holding workslop at bay.
Because without slowing down, we can't ask "is this good? is this right?" We can only ask "when will it be done?" And that's a world where #LLM outputs will always beat people.
Fortunately, an "optimized" process moves slowly, because prod…
@fanf@mendeddrum.orghmm https://youtu.be/QDoasQC2IJM my unanswered question is why the submerged part of the tower rotates in the water: wouldn’t that have bad losses from viscosity? my guess would be that it’s better to enclose the rotating shaft, that friction in bearings would be lower… tho maybe they need less steel if they don’…
@fortune@social.linux.pizzaA [golf] ball sliced or hooked into the rough shall be lifted and placed in
the fairway at a point equal to the distance it carried or rolled into the
rough. Such veering right or left frequently results from friction between
the face of the club and the cover of the ball and the player should not be
penalized for the erratic behavior of the ball resulting from such
uncontrollable physical phenomena.

@tante@tldr.nettime.orgGot to say a few words on "AI and Art" on the "Blaues Rauschen" Podcast. My main point: AI art will not only diminish what people using it can express but will also change people's acceptance of friction: If all you know if perfectly smooth slop, will you really accept anything but? Also: Decomputing.

@hacksilon@infosec.exchangeI purchased some #Bambu filament refills and am struggling. I got them on the spool without any issues, and then used the one visible filament end (which is bent 90 degrees at the end, to make it easier to find I assume?). But the filament immediately pulls below the spooled-up part, which massively increases friction and leads to my printer being unable to pull it in, the spool wobbling while be…

@cjust@infosec.exchangeMaybe AI Was Never a Tool
They can deliver conclusions that feel complete but skip the struggle that gives thought its humanity. This is what I call anti-intelligence—not stupidity, but perhaps better expressed as a kind of counterfeit cognition. It's intelligence without friction that results in output—built in that shared cognitive dynamic—that looks like insight but has bypassed the work that makes insight truly yours.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood #Morning #Canada
You may not like #PeePee but you gotta respect his ability to promote a divided Canada. Today, the Duke of Divisiveness will ask the house to vote on whether they support the Liberal's MOU with the province of Alberta. He knows that there is environmental grumbling amongst the Liberals in Parliament and he thinks this is an opportunity to weaken Carney's leadership image. A vote could cause friction within the Liberal ranks and at the very least put individuals on record so their vote can be used against them in the future. It should be an interesting day.
Recently Angus Reid released survey results showing 50% of Canadians would support a new pipeline. What about you? There is a straight forward question below - Yes or No - but please add any opinions, comments or caveats to support your choice.
Do you support a new pipeline from Alberta to the coast of British Columbia? Please boost for additional reach.
