@cstross I hate this framework. It's the reverse of "if some is good, more is always better". He keeps using the verb "dwell", the maximalist pejorative form of introspection. He's positing "if too much is very bad then a little must also be bad".
But it's just bad business. If you've made a move that was negative or sub-optimal, you figure out what went wrong so you can fix it in the next similar situation. -

@cstross funny how his go to example is "build Walmart", a company that famously relies on the state to feed their employers while crowding out all competition. Of course, he doesn't find it funny at all, that would require some introspection.

@cstross kinda funny to claim that introspection has no meaning, while talking in a podcast about why you do things a certain way and why people are successful.

@cstross Doesn’t it require introspection to determine you have zero introspection?

@cstross We have about a week until someone is unironically selling “Philosophical Zombie” on Hacker News.
This has got me thinking that Musk’s “woke mind virus” utterance was actually him (a p-zombie) reacting to the existence of people with conscious experience.

The last spam e-mail I've just received. This is funny:
"Hi
I came across Illumos Cafe online and wanted to reach out because we're working with other communities that are offering operating systems."
...ok...
"I’m currently working with a few communities on campaigns that are getting their sales teams meetings with warm leads every month. We’re targeting people who need operating systems using personalized email sequences. "
...WHAT???...
"If I could help you connect with potential clients like this, would that be helpful to you?"
...WHAT????...
LLMs, at their worst...

The plumber has arrived and his name is Mario (yes, I know...).
After an hour of trying things out, he decided he'll have to come back in the next few days with a probe and a special tool, because even he can't figure it out.The positive side? At least the consolation that I would never have managed to do it on my own.
