@pence Proficiat! Do celebrate it!!!
@tgupper Wow!
We have increasingly outsourced our decision-making to machine learning models ("the algorithm"). The whole point of building recommendation, sorting, and "decision support" systems on ML is to undertake assessments at superhuman speed and scale, which means that the idea of a "human in the loop" who validates machine judgment is a mere figleaf, and it only gets worse from here.

I tried to be a mountain
but not all feelings are clouds
simply drifting by.
Despair brings real torrents
that ruin your well-kempt garden
of leafy might-have-beens.
Good feelings move you
like #hope offering dreams of clouds
for you to jump on.
They take you up
to see all that could be
and nurture your strength to make it so.

Knowledge is mere remembrance
of souls that were once unchained.
Our eyes see but a semblance
of eternal truths retained.

New instance, new #introduction
I'm a former academic (philosophy) and currently a stay at home dad. I'm a self taught programmer and data nerd. Interested in history, science, maths. Most of my posts will be about gardening, dumb jokes, indie video games, science fiction, programming languages, philosophy and parenting. Also I will regularly make fun of crypto.

Alternative version for finitists (without the prompt):
Counting 1 2 3...
must end, they play hide and seek
no infinity.
Numbers 1 2 3...

to infinity.
"You can't fix it. You can't make it go away. I don't know what you're going to do about it, but I know what I'm going to do about it. I'm just going to walk away from it. Maybe a small part of it will die if I'm not around feeding it anymore."

Enchanté, I said,
a more enchanting language
