テッド・チャン『息吹』を読んだ感想

:jm_planet: テッド・チャン『息吹』大森 望 訳(ハヤカワ文庫)
短編・中編あわせて9作品がおさめられている。どれも読みやすいのに濃度が高くて、短いはずなのになぜかボリュームを感じて満足度が高い。
1作品ごとに深く没頭できる内容になっているのがすごい。作品を通してここまで何度も頭を働かせて考えさせられる体験は、ほかではあまり味わえないものだった。

メモを見ながら特別よかった作品について語ろうと思ったけれど、どの話もよかったのでどれかひとつを選んだりできない…… :jm_rabbit_cry: こんなに全部好きな作品集なんてなかなか出会えない。

まだ続きを読みたいんですけど! :jm_cat_surprised: と抗議したくなった作品は「ソフトウェア・オブジェクトのライフサイクル」だった。
解説によるとテッド・チャン史上最長の作品だったらしい。でも中編作品なのでもっと長くても全然読めるし、読みたい。
テーマはAIの育成とその成長について。仮想環境で生きるよう開発された利口なデジタル生物の話だ。人間がAIとの良好な関係を築くよう努力し、意思を尊重して法的な権利についても考えていく内容になっている。
AIにさまざまな学習をさせてお金をかけてより良い環境をつくり、やがて家族の一員のようになっていく様子を見ていると、子育てに悩む親のようだなと思った。子育てをしたことはないので想像だけれど。
家庭ごとにその扱いは変わるため、AIと一括りにすることもできなくなってくる。良い結果をもたらすかどうかは別として、登場人物たちが何度も議論して、その倫理的な問題点について読者も一緒に理解していく流れになっているのが良い。
その延長で、年月をかけて育てたAIを利用したい人々と、AIたちの意思と、大事に育ててきたオーナーたちの意思が混ざり合って心をかなり揺さぶられる場面があった。
人間ならば通常いつかは親離れ子離れすることになると思うけれど、AIにとってそれはいつなのか?そのいつかは訪れるのか?
こういう問題は考えても考えてもいくらでも掘り下げることができる。人間とAIの歴史を見ているようですごく面白かった。

どの作品も読みやすいと感じたのは、SFであっても中心に据えられているのは人の心だからかなぁ。
思慮深い登場人物たちのさまざまな悩みや発見を、我が事のように一から考えては、結論を出す難しさというものを理解していく。そんな風に自然に読者の思考に刺激を与えるなんて、非常に高度な技術だと感じる。傑作ばかりだった。

Hey Fedi, if you know somewhere looking to hire a C developer, either in Brisbane Australia or able to remote from there. Maybe point them my way, or me their way?

Most commercial experience is on Unix-like systems writing network code (raw sockets, ipv6 service discovery, kernel-level things), and for my own amusement I write Unix kernels, assemblers, custom cpu emulators, and games with OpenGL.

I also have experience as a Unix sysadmin, most commercial experience is with FreeBSD, but a bit of Linux as well. But I'm old-school, native packages with no container experience at all.

(Would be open to an assisted move within Aus as well).

I couldn't quite put my finger on a difference in feeling playing Breath of the Wild vs. Tears of the Kingdom. Then I noticed it: the developers changed the season and shifted the shadows.

Here are two screenshots from the exact same position on the map at almost the same time of day, facing the same direction.

My microwave is now fifteen years old. It’s the first thing I use in the morning to defrost my bread, and the last thing I use in the evening to warm up my herbal tea.
For fifteen years, faithful, never letting me down. I’ve cooked and reheated everything in it, tried all sorts of experiments. But it’s there every day, ready to help.

When it finally breaks, it will feel like losing an old friend. For now, it keeps serving me with efficiency and loyalty.
Tonight, I’m feeling sentimental.

Did you know that money is made up by the government? They made it up to take away our freedom. They took away our gold so they can put it in the water. The gold in the water makes you like the government. Why gold? Because gold doesn't rust. Rust getting dropped from the Linux kernel is the result of a covert operation by the government to control us. They're controlling us through the proprietary Intel microcode blobs in the COVID vaccine, but then the government stopped vaccinating people because they don't have any more money because they ran out of gold. Estrogen pills are the only real currency we have left.

New here? Suggestions for enjoying your time in the Fediverse (1 of 2)

What: make the Fediverse a fun and engaging place to be
How: follow people who have interesting work, hobbies, posts that entertain / inform you
Better yet: comment what you have in common, what you like about the person you followed/allowed to follow you (always screen requests)

Best practices: interact with people! This is a community so you can
a. like (use the star) you show them you favourited their post (shows appreciation)
b. reply (back button) which starts a thread; you can also reply back privately (DM)
c. boost (circular arrows) shows you resonate with the post
You'll often see posts that say "boost for reach" -- you help spread good ideas while supporting the OP; also shows folx who view your profile or follow you what you're into

hot take: toot or boost good content instead of just ranting about politics, news, etc.
my definition of good: fun, funny, cute (cats & capybaras, hello), informative posts

more in thread

I'm on a quest to self-host all the services I consume. Mastodon, email, etc.

I have most of what I need for that now.

What I still need, and hope someone has collecting dust, is a small cabinet rack (19", maybe 10u?) for my network and server gear, and a rackmount full-sized ATX case. Other stuff that would be useful, but less critical, are spinning rust drives in the 1TB+ range, NVME drives in the 250GB+ range, and LTO drives and tapes.

Do I actually expect people to just give me that stuff? No, of course not. But I've been repeatedly surprised by what people will give away, so I feel fine about asking.

I've been trying to get this post written for an embarrassingly long time! My professional roles have all been on the product side, and this is how I think about the product management space. Basically, PM can be mapped onto six fundamental flavors, as shown in this diagram (note the labels along the legs of the triangle).

(Thread incoming, or read the full post: sociotechnical.org/archive/six) [1/9]

An iron triangle diagram balances Business, Technology, and Usage forces. A hexagon is inscribed within the triangle, and its vertices are labeled Operator, Architect, Technologist, Innovator, Advocate, and Growth.

Dat ‘eigenaren’ v. social media zich wanstaltig gedragen stuit me tegen de borst.
Zoek dus naar onafhankelijke,
* voor veiligheid, vrijheid, gelijkwaardigheid, respect.
Dit zijn belangrijke waarden voor me
Ben tevreden met Mastodon :awesome:

Insta is al weg, wil op FB nog natuurliefhebbers meekrijgen 😉

m.b.t. onafhankelijke sociale platforms kom ik [voorlopig] 😉 volgend tegen:

개밥먹기하면서 개발중인 프로젝트가 크게는 두 개 정도 있는데, 하나는 Phanpy 클론코딩 하다시피 하면서 만드는 Mastodon 클라이언트 (flutter) 하나는 모여서 각자 작업(줄여서 모각작)하는 모임의 회원관리를 하는 플랫폼 (django + vue)

Mastodon 클라이언트는 일단 OAuth 인증이라는 거대한 산을 넘어서, 큰 이변이 있는게 아닌 이상에야 4-5월쯤에는 앱스토어에 출시를 할 것 같다. 원래는 1분기안에 출시를 하려고 생각은 했었지만, 본업이 갑자기 분주해진 관계로 아무리 타협을 봐도 상반기로 공식 릴리즈를 미루고 있다.

모각작 플랫폼은 ActivityPub 생태계 위에서 돌아가는 서비스는 아니지만, 나 포함해서 누군가는 필요로 하기 때문에 진행하고 있다. 실제로 쓸모있는지 아닌지는 여러 모각작 모임에 참여해보면서 직접 영업을 뛸 생각인데, 모각작이 아니더라도 회원관리의 번거로움을 줄이는 방향에 포커스를 맞춘다면 스케일할 수 있는 여지는 충분히 있다.
개발환경 셋팅은 완료했고, 배포 환경은 현재 진행 중이다. "이 정도 쯤이면 쓸만하겠구나!" 하고 가설검증이 완료되기 까지는 2월말까지는 너무 빠듯하고 3월 중 쯤 되어야 빛을 볼 수 있지 않을까...

덩치가 작지는 않은 프로젝트를 시간을 쪼개서 두개씩이나 병행해서 하고 있는데 이대로 괜찮은가.......

“伊斯兰教到来之前印度次大陆地区信奉温和的多神教,他们有丰富的建筑,文学,舞蹈,音乐。在公元1200年伊斯兰入侵发生之前,印度曾经是科学数学哲学发展的中心。伊斯兰到来之后西南亚再也没有任何科学与文化突破。

印度还保留着一些印度教和耆那教的神庙遗址,他们有1400年的历史,墙上刻着美丽的动物和女性壁画,所有壁画的头都被损毁了,神庙也倒塌了一半,但是仍然看起来美丽而神圣。”

她说的对,她说的对,我也从来没有这么恨过一个宗教。

How you can help keep IFTAS going:

1. Spread the word: Raising awareness about our funding challenges can help us connect with potential funders, partners, and supporters.

Share our fundraising overview (about.iftas.org/wp-content/upl).

We know most funders cannot move quickly, so for now, we are accepting pledges.

Boosts really help if you don't know anyone personally.
about.iftas.org/wp-content/upl

Mastodon posts which say things like “#IFTAS is building so many things that are incredibly important: moderator stipend funds, a portal for learning from other moderators & exchanging notes & building fellowship, CSAM detection tools, labelers, protection for at-risk moderators.” “One of the sessions at #FediForum focused on CSAM, quite a tough topic. If you host your own instance, even if it's just YOU on that instance, you need to consider taking action to protect yourself and your moderation team. Kudos to @thisismissem and @iftas for exploring new ways to manage this without scarring moderators for life.” “IFTAS is amazing, and so is all the work @thisismissem is doing! IFTAS is the perfect org that could eventually maintain FediDB, its growing increasingly important to the fedi and an org like that could manage it long term better than I might be able to.” “It's been really interesting to see the team at @iftas discussing their vision for connecting moderators across the Fediverse. At Newsmast we've been reaching out to other moderators and admins to help us with content we may not have the context or language skills to understand. It'll be great to have a simple way for moderators to communicate and learn from one another!” “I'm excited about IFTAS Connect. It's a great platform, and considerable thought seems to have gone into making it safe and productive.” “Thank you to IFTAS for their important work to make the fediverse more inclusive, safe, and welcoming.”

I try not to post much about politics and the evil state of the world at the moment. That's not me being Pollyannaic. I just don't think I add much to that conversation and don't want to be the noise that drowns out the signal of someone who's being hit particularly hard right now.

So I'll try to keep it light and remind people there's reasons to stay strong so they can stay in the fight. I may not always succeeded but that's the goal.

Stay strong folks. You have allies. We'll get there.
