RIP Tony Hoare, inventor of quicksort and computer science pioneer.
I had the pleasure of running into him once or twice at Microsoft Research, mostly after he’d officially retired but kept showing up anyway.
I made myself a vessel. I know its shape. But not the clay. Life danced me. I know the dances. But I don't know who the dancer is.
My suffragette-era great-aunt caused raised eyebrows and mutterings when seen 'riding astride a bicycle' in Cramond.
We have come so far.
We can achieve so much more.

As a sufferer who's GP essentially told me as a teenager to "suck it up" I don't want any other young uterus carriers to waste years in pain...don't stand for it!

When you have an audience or a business you have to ensure that you always provide a lot more value to people than you extract from them. If you don't then, long term, it all breaks down.
Young people I talk to today...they feel like the whole entire world has broken this contract with them.

do we know this hasn't already happened?
A billionaire could kill their human team once they discover AGI to keep the way it works secret. Maybe we need a website that tracks AI researcher deaths 😅
Countless pilot programs have proved over and over again that two neat tricks massively increase the chances of people escaping the cycle of poverty and homelessness.
1. Give them money.
2. Give them homes.
Maybe it’s time to stop running trials and make this widespread public policy?

We often say that in tech, you have to watch out for the “10x coder” who uses that claim as an excuse to get away with being a jerk – chances are he’s draining 90% of everyone else’s productivity just dealing with his toxicity (or he’s dumping the 90% of coding that’s unglamorous on everyone else.)
I would like to hope. Unfortunately I feel that large sections of our populations have been effectively trained not to question, or critically evaluate what they are being fed as "information"
In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.
Then covered it up again when caught.
Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.
