Did these people rush to skim the book when they heard about the TV show or something? 2018-02-12T08:48:51-05:00 The first book in the Altered Carbon series hews closer to standard hardboiled structure & is less 'about' resleeving but is very much about social inequality at scale. 2018-02-12T08:50:23-05:00 The second and third books are mostly about the political & social ramifications of resleeving technology over centuries. That is, after all, the point of the series. 2018-02-12T08:52:18-05:00 I feel like Netflix's adaptation did a pretty good job of keeping that social & political focus, and even frontloading it a little bit by injecting backstory from the second and third books. 2018-02-12T08:54:00-05:00 People make the obvious comparison to Blade Runner, but seeing as how Blade Runner is a famously shallow & aesthetically-focused adaptation that strips the social & political elements from its source, Altered Carbon comes out the winner here 2018-02-12T09:18:19-05:00 I am the very model of a New York Times contrar... https://slate.com/culture/2018/02/i-am-the-very-model-of-a-new-york-times-contrarian.html 2018-02-12T09:19:52-05:00 Every Society Invents the Failed Utopia it... http://publicdomainreview.org/collections/every-society-invents-the-failed-utopia-it-deserves/ 2018-02-12T09:22:13-05:00 Band name of the day: the printing offices of confusion 2018-02-12T09:23:18-05:00 Band name of the day: fantastic plenum 2018-02-12T09:28:50-05:00 Band name of the day: the germinal base of beatitude 2018-02-12T09:29:30-05:00 Band name of the day: the nine springs of our nature 2018-02-12T09:33:03-05:00 Band name of the day: a principle of sufficient unreason 2018-02-12T09:46:26-05:00 Every Deluze quote is relevant to every situation, given sufficient effort on the part of the reader. 2018-02-12T09:52:16-05:00 Gene name errors are widespread in the scientific literature |... https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-016-1044-7 2018-02-12T13:37:19-05:00 Why hiring the ‘best’ people produces the least crea... https://aeon.co/ideas/why-hiring-the-best-people-produces-the-least-creative-results 2018-02-12T13:44:24-05:00 Band name of the day: added smashing power 2018-02-12T15:16:22-05:00 Band name of the day: the structured crowd 2018-02-12T15:31:28-05:00 Social structure is a technology, but it's one that most self-identified techies are ill-equipped to debug, mainly due to bigotry against properly studying it. 2018-02-12T15:32:56-05:00 We're really bad at being dispassionate about non-social technologies, but even worse about social technologies (by which I mean: political systems, power relations). 2018-02-12T15:34:17-05:00 Of course, being driven by emotion, nostalgia, and other prejudices is a non-issue in emacs vs vi. But, in deciding how to structure power relations, it's huge. 2018-02-12T15:36:41-05:00 In an equitable society, social problems are a matter of individual choice. We don't live in such a society, and never have. If we want to, we should be honest about this. Pretending to have achieved equity is a good way to amplify shitty power relations. 2018-02-12T15:38:47-05:00 Optimizing for anything other than human happiness seems like a recipe for misery. Of course, no existing political system really seriously attempts to optimize for human happiness. 2018-02-12T15:39:59-05:00 There are legitimate open questions: should we maximize minimum happiness? Should we maximize mean, or median, or total happiness?

Please, think about the mechanisms you're using systematically & also with respect to your actual threat model. 2018-08-11T14:57:43-04:00 Pet peeve: when people are so used to the model of defense against the strongest possible adversary that, in the case where that's not possible, they consider smaller guarantees useless.

Making users repeat normally-identical pieces of information several times just because they CAN differ in a corner case is bad design. 2018-10-30T16:51:33-04:00 Hot take: moral hazard is an information problem with its roots in systematic overconfidence & optimism bias. Either important domains of risk are ignored or the effectiveness of mitigations is overestimated. 2018-10-30T19:13:24-04:00 A possible future: SSSS.Gridman's popularity causes a bunch of mecha-inspired toku adaptations to be greenlit & 'tokusatsu remake' becomes the new 'isekai light novel adaptation' for about 5 years. 2018-10-31T07:19:45-04:00 The Shining has apparently forever turned Midnight with the Stars and You into a 'horror song'.

'Hausu is my favorite movie' is a valid & illuminating response. 2018-10-31T13:21:21-04:00 In one sense, 'the computer revolution is over' because the period of exponential growth behind the tech ended 10 years ago. In another sense, it hasn't begun: we have sheltered ourselves from the social and intellectual ramifications of computing. Documents are still simulations of paper, & capitalism still exists. So it's like that period where printing presses existed but everybody used a faux-calligraphic font. 2018-10-31T13:34:07-04:00 After World War I, Horror Movies Were Invaded By an Army of Reanimated Corpses https://longreads.com/2018/10/31/after-world-war-i-horror-movies-were-invaded-by-an-army-of-reanimated-corpses/ 2018-10-31T13:57:45-04:00 Nasu announces a new entry in the Fate franchise, Fate/F For, starring a genderswapped Orson Welles who pummels enemies with a film camera on the end of a pole arm. 2018-10-31T14:21:38-04:00 Ministry: "Everyday Is Halloween" - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0r2xpGT4fQ 2018-10-31T17:04:17-04:00 In the grim dark future of 2019, all stores are halloween stores because every day is halloween. 2018-10-31T20:13:41-04:00 Bunny-Girl Senpai is an interesting show. It seems to be going for a theme with the various arcs: each one seems to be about how communications media change our behavior & self-image by exerting social pressure with expectations. 2018-11-01T07:31:41-04:00 Today is All Hallow's Day. Celebrate by having way too many disappointing sequels 2018-11-01T07:38:16-04:00 Slate is complaining that the witches in Suspiria (2018) aren't scary. Has the author seen Suspiria (1977)? It's a wonderful film but the scariest thing about it is the sound track. 2018-11-01T07:39:22-04:00 Hot take: the primary function of a horror movie is not to be scary, but to be /creepy/. If you don't know the difference, watch better horror movies. 2018-11-01T08:10:29-04:00 Band name of the day: safety coffin 2018-11-01T08:18:55-04:00 Band name of the day: the waiting mortuary 2018-11-01T09:20:20-04:00 Band name of the day: conspiracy to riot 2018-11-01T09:24:43-04:00 How to Teach Computer Ethics through Science Fiction | August 2018 | Communications of the ACM https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2018/8/229765-how-to-teach-computer-ethics-through-science-fiction/fulltext 2018-11-01T09:47:31-04:00 Band name of the day: dread risks 2018-11-01T09:58:09-04:00 Band name of the day: homesick for nowhere 2018-11-01T10:07:41-04:00 For #NaNoGenMo I converted two of Stravinsky's ballets to tone-poems by converting note frequencies to word frequencies.
