I think some people have a problem reasoning with numbers. When a field is 80-90% male and we can compare its segregation to other similar fields it is now demonstrated that something is going on with gender and a field. Well explored and documented across the literature. This is not something I need to prove and I'm not going to waste my time defending this position when I could instead be spending my time working on the next steps around what helps shift this kind of problem.
If it hurts in a personal way when you hear this that is a sign that you are a human being, don't outsource that hurt onto me. It hurts me too. We share in that hurt because we are letting our minds be present to and open to the existence of pain and unfairness in the world. This could be a reason for us to understand each other, not a reason to reject the conversation. If it hurts when you hear this you can interpret that as a signal that you do want a better world.

TIL on how I use Claude Code on my iPhone with GitHub Pages to preview Claude's changes while it's still working on them https://til.simonwillison.net/claude-code/preview-github-pages
And now something positive:
solar and wind energy production in the EU surpasses fossil energy for the first time.

Qwen released a new Apache 2.0 licensed text-to-speech model, with full voice cloning abilities, and it's really effective - my notes from trying it out here: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/22/qwen3-tts/

It’s a little hard to appreciate at first just how damning this autopsy report is. 
@broadwaybabyto lays it out clearly. https://zeroes.ca/@broadwaybabyto/115937213558897429

In algorithms you can trade space for randomness. I don't know if there are some precise generic theorems about this as opposed to theorems about specific families of algorithms. But that's not why I'm here...
There's a similar trade you can make in games, TTRPGs in particular.
For example, you could go old school and track how long everyone's torches have been alight as they explore their dungeon. But it's tedious to track that state.
There's another extreme where you can say a torch has a fixed probability of going out each turn. But that's unrealistic in a way that's not fun. You don't get the anticipation, or dread, of your torches slowly burning down.
Today I learnt about another approach to torches that uses a middle ground. You roll D12 every so often to see if the torch burns down. When you roll a 1 you now switch to rolling D10. When you roll a 1 you switch to D8 and so on. When you roll a 1 on D4 (say) the torch goes out. There are far fewer state updates. You can even store that state as a choice of die sitting in front of you.
There's probably also a connection here to DSP with the fixed probability case acting like a one pole filter.

@okOK Bot OK?
I've been adopting the dodo as my personal iconography. The modern world is all about finding and exploiting advantages. It's easy for me to fall into the trap of thinking that's the only way. But honestly, I'm a creature of a slower paced, less predatory world and I want to celebrate that.
Now that the game's public, I'm happy to announce that I worked on the English localisation for Karous!!
It's still hard to believe that it has come out on Steam with an English option. The dev team has had difficulties getting a good-quality localisation for their games for some time, but I'm hoping this will break their "localisation curse" once and for all!

23-yo Nasra Ahmed left her St. Paul home to get her seizure medicine & was detained by ICE despite saying she’s a U.S. citizen born in Hennepin Cty. Family couldn’t locate her for 40+ hours and say she has anxiety + seizures. No criminal history.
She’s now held in Sherburne County Jail. 😳

@SeanAloysiusOBrienFlowing Shape article 5 just says '@us pls hlp'
it really is so funny though that american hegemony has been most damaged by dudes who forgot how it worked saying "nah we don't need all this"
almost akin to the classic sci fi trope of people relying on technology that nobody remembers how to operate

Deleted my post about the sexual harassment I'd received on Fedi, because it was driving more sexual harassment toward me.
Y'all want women on Fedi? Fight that shit. I can't do it for you.

Hi! I’m ShadysDad and this is Shady!
I’m new to Mastodon so just wanted to introduce myself!
