@romeu I have nothing to add.

Some dude, genuinely: wait what does the word “pedantic” means ?
@Cyriux , helpfully : someone that uses knowledge to assert power
Me: *panics*
C: *laughs* go on Romeu ! Say it!
Me: I… can’t contribute to this without being pedantic 😭
C: you said too much already!
Me: … pedantics specifically use the knowledge of vocabulary/conceptual nuance to assert that power not just any knowledge 🙈
C: I have nothing lore to add.

Add yourself in the replies if I forgot to add you (my brain is lossy even when less is happening everywhere all at once!)

LB: Names really do matter, and naming things is hard.

But sometimes, the difficulty of naming things can serve as a warning. Think of it as a design smell. Sometimes things are hard to name because they only exist in your mental model, and the model isn't serving you. Take it as a prompt to reevaluate how you're thinking about the problem.

Named Things

This is a cautionary tale. It's the story of an internal tool development project. We'll call it Astro, because naming things is hard, and the reasons why are very instructive.

@py Makes sense to me, congrats. Any plan to publish something to a research journal?

A controversial take:

Humanism is tested by the respect you give to the humanity of the people you hate.
