We should consider that we are past fixing our global system. For true systemic equality, we may need to burn it to the ground and allow for regrowth.
(Excuse the binary/patriarchal language. It’s a direct quote.)
@paninid fast forward to the present and scientists who barely study #philosophy label #metaphysics as #pseudoscience (forgetting what #PhD means), torment #logic for the benefit of "elegant" #math equations (e.g. antimatter, dark #matter), and design #AI #systems that weaponize #ethics as justification for #information #censorship (#ChatGPT "knows" but refuses to answer how to a hot wire a car or commit murder while claiming no #opinion, ignorant that words and actions are different)
I heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign.
I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further.
As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there."
"Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms."
Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.
I have to disagree entirely about personifying the automated house in There Will Come Soft Rains (fantastic name), but otherwise yes. This is exactly my understanding.

It's also a good description of why I feel so confused by others.
People tend to feel more secure (than I do) in their identities as individuals, group members, and (neurotypical / neurodefault / neurorigid) humans.
Rebooting Petabyte Control Node
am rebooting one of the control nodes for a petabyte+ storage array, after 504 days of system uptime..
watching kernel log_level 6 debug info scroll by on the SoL terminal via iDrac..
logs scrolling, the array of SAS3 DE3-24C double-redundant SFF linked Oracle/Sun drive enclosures spin-up and begin talking to multipathd...
waiting for Zpool cache file import..
waiting.. 131 / 132 drives online across all enclosures.. hmm.. what's this now...
> transport_port_remove: removed: sas_addr(0x500c04f2cfe10620)
well ffs 
> 12:0:10:0: SATA: handle(0x0017), sas_addr(0x500c04f2cfe10620), phy(32),
oh, that's a SATA drive on the system's local enclosure bay for scratch data, it's not part of the ZFS pool.. 
next step, not today, move control nodes to a higher performance + lower wattage pair of FreeBSD servers

Excellent Sunday afternoon read from Professor @drmichaellevin for Noema Magazine that takes a look at the metaphors we use to distinguish between organic and non-organic beings and challenges some of the assumptions around what we consider to be machines and/or living things.
Very much in the style of Donna Haraway, he advocates at once for #pragmatism, for empirically testing the methods we use for interrogating systems that imbricate the organic and the machine and to keep an open mind when categorising which is which.
For fans of Douglas Hofstadter, #cybernetics, #systems and #ConsequentialCategories.

@AmenZwa I'm puzzled that you don't mention Erlang. I'm not a programmer, but I follow the discussions. Maybe I'm completely out of date. I thought WhatsApp was built by 5 programmers in Erlang. Then completely rewritten when it was purchased by a large corp. Surely the importance of C in stability is due to the corporate infrastructure. I would have thought the brightest people would use the best new tools for prototyping and proof-of-concept for a new business, then sell it and move on. I'd hope that at least one Ukrainian group is using the Erlang infrastructure to program swarms of drones. I thought #Erlang was good for small and large #systems programming.
