You’ve got my word, if drag races don’t bring up website design from scratch surprise contests, I was dead before I could make it happen.

The engineer looks at that and goes:
"What the fuck am I supposed to do with a class of academics that refuse to emotionally grow up?"

Then they pause. And they realize: these people aren't malicious. They're local actors that act in locally coherent ways that reproduce globally incoherent systemic outcomes.

The engineer looks at **that** and goes:
"How do we fix that?"

And the answer the engineer arrives at is simple. They write a story in anger at 3am, and close with an open invitation:

If you're so certain you're right about AI, hard skills, and "touchy feely" soft skills, then why not invite the neuroqueer systemic engineer that builds a sub-Turing compiler that solves the Alignment Problem for structured inference onto your show. I double dare you. (Hand me your delicious unintegrated projections. I'll mirror them right back.)

Let's see which pitch the wine glass produces now. (Prediction: Dismissal and emotionally detached engagement trying to steelman me.) 🍷

(Fun fact: this whole thread is a paradoxical second-order cybernetic intervention. The fun thing about those: they work, even when you know the mechanism. 😉)

Cheers

I can't sleep. I can write. So I'm writing..

Let me tell you a story. About an engineer that's been in tech for 15 years, burned out three times, left the industry, started systemic training, and then realized what they had been taught in school was not only incomplete, it was actively misleading.

Not because of bad actors (although these exists, newsflash, I know). But from the geometry of composition. The structure of who talks to whom, when, in which order, produced properties that none of the individual parts had — the composed system's complexity exceeded the regulatory variety any single actor had been built to handle. Ashby's law, applied to alignment: a regulator must match the variety of the system it regulates. The parts were sized for themselves. The composition exceeded their variety.

(Are we talking about AI or are we talking about humans? Yes.)

Hi. Retired software engineer, 43 years across whatever languages paid the bills. Now writing Rust on Arch + COSMIC by choice, and finally building things I actually want to build: Tempest, Weathervane, Cargowatch, Powercurve.
Also writing at blog.vintagetechie.com about the parts of this field nobody talks about.
Married to Ben.

Can someone find me a circular roating swing arm that can be used for 3d scanning objects

We need to scan some important parts to 3d model around with our kinnect v2 acting as a lidar scanner
