  1. A quotation from Montaigne

    We readily acknowledge in others an advantage in courage, in bodily strength, in experience, in agility, in beauty; but an advantage in judgment we yield to no one. And the arguments that come from simple natural reasoning in others, we think we would have found if we had merely glanced in that direction.
     
    [Nous reconnoissons aysément és autres, l’advantage du courage, de la force corporelle, de l’experience, de la disposition, de la beauté: mais l’advantage du jugement; nous ne le cedons à personne: Et les raisons qui partent du simple discours naturel en autruy, il nous semble qu’il n’a tenu qu’à regarder de ce costé-là, que nous ne les ayons trouvees.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Frame (1943)]

  6. We all have blind spots, leaders included. It often takes feedback to discover them. Listen to it and improve. Ignore it and stagnate. No one is perfect. It takes acknowledgment to grow and interest to advance. #blindspot #growth #leader #listen #discover

    "aggressive push fwd masks a troubl'g #blindspot: While #Singapore invests heavily in helping bizs deploy #AI, it offers inadequate protection for workers most exposed to AI-driven displacement & #income losses.

  11. Binge watching the Swedish TV show "Blind spåret" (Blind Spot)

    It is really interesting. Had to put the text on because a lot of people speaking Norwegian and I don't understand it any more.

  16. The problem with bias: individuals are usually unaware of their biases. This makes recognizing and addressing them incredibly difficult. #BlindSpot

  18. A quotation from Douglas Adams

    Only a child sees things with perfect clarity, because it hasn’t developed all those filters which prevent us from seeing things that we don’t expect to see.

    Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
    Dirk Gently, No. 1, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, ch. 23 [Dirk] (1987)

  19. Levypalvelin oli taas yöllä juntturassa. Salilla tein kädet. Kävin kävelyllä, Prismassa ja apteekissa. Käsittelin linkkejä. Päivitin palvelimia.

  20. I've been #programming (hobby and professional) since the late 70s (TRS-80 Model I Level II anyone?). Indexing vs subscripting and the dreaded and much feared #offbyone error still bites me in the ass.

    My fault really. I don't need to be doing what I'm doing in C, I'm just a masochist.

    My other #blindspot is inverting branch conditions in assembly language, even with the help of mnemonics instead of bit masks.

    I got them crossed up in my head and can't uncross them. BNZ vs BZ! DOH!

    Blind spots aren't just blank or they wouldn't be able to hide from us. They're tiny little screens where our minds project the movies we call reality. The rest of what we see is projected over actual reality. Mixed media...

  23. I try to make a conscious effort to read more about topics that are counter to my intuition. So this headline caught my eye: "Ranked Choice Voting Disenfranchises Minorities, Though Favored by Left, Study Finds" especially since the coverage was lopsided.

    There was only one outlet marked center-right who covered a counter finding. Media bias and a lack of shard truths is rough, tools help but doing the work is real labor.

  24. #MisterDen says: "So, the problem is, I have no idea what is happening with the LotR thing."

    That's weird... Maybe you've somehow missed all the posts I've made about it over the last four-years on Twitter/x and, more recently, Mastodon/Fedi...
