I'm working on product search in Zalando, a fashion and beauty e-commerce company.

I'm interested in learning to structure and retrieve information, multi-modal data representations, hyperbolic graph embeddings and managing research teams.

I'm learning to be patient, but it's going slower than expected.

For me, right to to repair isn't just about ewaste, and preventing corporate gouging.

It's about mental health. Being able to fix your gadgets is therapeutic. Empowering. Good for the soul.

In a world full of complex technology it's easy to feel small and helpless. And maybe I'm too much of an idealist, but I think that if everyone could experience the joy of fixing or modifying a gadget now and then we'd all be a little more open minded, a little more daring. A little harder to push around.

@mildconcern @carnage4life What a wonderful symbiotic system! The poor need the money of the rich to get into the system, the rich need the prestige that the system maintains through the achievements of the poor.

@mildconcern @carnage4life Agreed, but since it's a tiny fraction nobody cares. Who cares about principles when you can take the money and claim that it trickles down to the ones that need it the most!

@mildconcern @carnage4life Agreed that it should be taken into account, but how would you get the data needed to take this into account?

I think we (humans) have hard time understanding that readable text doesn't have to be an outcome of thinking, because for *us* that's almost impossible. We're somehow enchanted by it. Even when at times the text is logically inconsistent, we ascribe that to the errors in thinking process, not to possibly that no thinking is involved.
