Yes! I'm finally done with my literature review!

... Mostly. And then I have to actually uh. Pick out candidates and do some screening.

Creampie!
Heaven!
Now!

Crediting @BestGirlGrace for repeatedly complaining about other bad descriptions of federation so I would only ever use "it's like email."

It finally happened. I'm privy to a conversation where someone asked, "What does it mean for a service to be 'federated?'"

Of course I used the "it's like email" comparison, I'm not stupid.

Dang, why am I not tired?
...
Oh right, I slept for a bonus 3 hours this afternoon.

From what I've heard about Fujimoto, this is absolutely in keeping with his behavior. I still wouldn't read Chainsaw Man for it, but I would salute an artist committed to the bit.

Rest in pieces 2alky :(

Glad to hear people are reading my writing even as I've been neglecting sharing it around. :) Re: "is the academic queer = resistance definition a strawman," I think it might be (no academic I'm aware of has *genuinely* argued far-right politics are a form of queer narrative), but I also think it serves a useful function regardless by requiring people be more honest about what they *actually* mean when they say "queer."

100% wishful thinking that "show people how shitty LLM coders are" would result in any change, but still.
I wonder how viable it'd be to run a class specifically on code review – and secretly also have it be a "how good are human vs LLM coders" test.
