@SwiftOnSecurity #programming is #creative and #intellectual labour.

Measuring a programmer's efficiency or value with easy #metrics like #LinesOfCode (#IBM) or #Commits (#Huawei) doesn't work.

In fact the latter ones did that #LyingWithNumbers for #KPI so hard on the @linux / #Linux #Kernel that they were close to getting #banned from the #LKML and #git.

Instead they got called out that their "code cleanup" commits are not appreciated as code #readability is being a priority in #Linux!

Where Did Our #Belief in Abundance Come From?

https://www.discoursemagazine.com/abundance/2023/07/19/where-did-our-belief-in-abundance-come-from/
#History shows that we don’t have to be satisfied with the #economic and #intellectual limits of the age in which we live

"How did someone like you produce a child who thinks so very, very much?" (also me, to my parents)

And that last #scene 👏🏿

#LosingGround is well-written and #acted, with a lot of really great #shots.

The #film covers #issues of #womanhood, #patriarchy, #race, #cultures, and more using serious #adult and #intellectual #dialogue that's still too rare in #Black #cinema.

I strongly recommend this #movie.

@johnleonard Yeah. Introducing deliberate structure and shape into the training data is for sure going to be improving #AI performance.

Also granularisation of input data is necessary to protect privacy of individual personal details in it.

But the #intellectual #property issue remains. Moving the original works of art the #preprocess doesn’t change them contributing to the final data.

This is simply marketing. No data scientist worth their salt would make such claims! 🤨

By #MikeLofgren in #Salon:

"Modern conservatives are hag-ridden by demons — the fallen state of man, the hopeless decadence of secular humanism, the imminent collapse of Western Civilization (a term always capitalized)."

"Some guy who builds his own radio #telescope to satisfy his #intellectual #curiosity" is exactly the type of thing that you can get from the internet that you never would have found at a library in the pre-digital days. It's fantastic!

Thanks for sharing. 👍

Jesus Fables | #Jesus #Myth-Telling with #Bible Scholar Richard C. Miller
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICKWpqzo59E

Groundbreaking book: "#Resurrection and Reception in Early #Christianity." With a flair for #intellectual acrobatics, he fearlessly navigates the treacherous waters of comparative #mythology, unmasking the awe-inspiring parallels between the resurrection narratives of Jesus and the enchanting translation #fables of #Greek and #Roman #lore.

The French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre was sitting at a café table working. A waitress approached him.
"Can I get you something to drink, Monsieur Sartre?" she asked.
"Yes, I’d like a cup of coffee with sugar, but no cream," the philosopher replied.
A few minutes later, the waitress returned and said,
"I’m sorry, Monsieur Sartre, we are all out of cream — how about with no milk?"

Way back in time at #SamHarris No.165, where Sam claiming himself an #intellectual begins to give one hives. Perpetually perplexed why his critics think he’s right wing, he rails on apologists for religion but can’t see himself and guest #CaitlinFlanagan as supporters for #testosterone and that whole “#RapeCulture thing.” His frat boy conservative nostalgia defending yaw, makes him seem less of a father and more a grandpa. #WakingUp #MakingSense

Finished reading Simple Passion by Annie Ernaux. Spoiler alert: here's the last paragraph:

'When I was a child, luxury was fur coats, evening dresses, and villas by the sea. Later on, I thought it meant leading the life of an intellectual. Now I feel that it is also being able to live out a passion for a man or a woman.'

A quotation from Lowell, James Russell:

«««««
This imputation of inconsistency is one to which every sound politician and every honest thinker must sooner or later subject himself. The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinions.

"...Their work was more in line with that of medical researchers seeking a cure to a disease ravaging their community than with philosophers theorizing on a social disease for theory’s sake from a safe remove. We need the model these new intellectuals pursued to save humanity from the existential threats that humans have created, including climate change, global pandemics, bigotry, and war."

Apparently, there's something called "the #Intellectual Dark Web," a group of #conservatives who use big words to obfuscate meaning and common sense, all in the hopes of empowering #fascists and #racists in the #Western world. This group includes fascist favorites like Sam #Harris, Jordan #Peterson, Dave #Rubin, and Ben #Shapiro.

All I'm thinking right now is, "Wow. This is the best they can do?" And it is. There is nothing intellectual about them; they only cosplay intellectuals while shilling for the most #extremist elements of the contemporary #American #right wing. They have no #principles, as evidenced by how often they contradict themselves, often in the same sentence.

Unfortunately, these folks are very good at convincing folks who are less educated (not less intelligent, just less formally educated) than they that they're "geniuses" who are only "concerned" about the direction our #society is headed in.

They're not. Pick up a dictionary, keep Google close, and listen to one of them speak for a few minutes. #Factcheck everything they say. You'll quickly find that they're either ignorant, liars, or both.

My bet is on both.

P.S. Be suspicious of anyone who says "I'm going to tell you things that they don't want you to know." Ask them who "they" is. Ask them what motivation "they" have to hide the "truth" from you. Ask them how they were able to learn that which had been so effectively hidden from you. The conspiracy theorist in them will slither right out of their mouths like an especially aggressive tapeworm.
