👩🎤…I still got some #punk rock cred! So, it's last session after 3 days of #UndoneCS. I admit I zoned out, had trouble concentrating on Nils Bonfils' talk “Cultivating a Historicist Sensibility through Permacomputing”.
Through my mind haze, I hear Nils say the word “#anarchist”, then, “#anticapitalist”. Suddenly I'm wide awake & completely focused.
#PunksNotDead
I'm glad too as this #permacomputing stuff is extremely interesting & definitely important to future of #FOSS.
Day 3 of #UndoneCS starts with a session on “Undone CS in the cloud.”
The first talk will be on “Agile software production in computational infrastructures,” given by Donald Jay Bertulfo.

Did AI really take their jobs?
As big tech companies sack staff and say AI will pick up the slack, workers are left to grapple with what's really going on.Julian Fell (ABC News)

Many companies over-hired as a type of skills hoarding.
I had never thought this was a "thing" - but perhaps my middle daughter was a "victim". A few years ago her first job out of college was with Oracle, in the marketing department. I had a few conversations with her about what she was doing. She said that she was working with a team doing "direct" marketing - but from what I could gather there was little actual work going on, and the few phone calls that were made were superficial and even rather perfunctory. She left the job after about 6 months out of shear boredom.

Right now, they do.

"Don’t tell me or it won’t happen."
I just turned one of those bold, round numbers that invites metaphysical thoughts about Time. Waking up at forty, I find myself in a body that feels healthy. From here, the past doesn’t look effortless: waking at six, workouts, repetitions, injuries, recoveries. But it does feel contingent. Perhaps a future version of me wished it so. Maybe a wish is not something that happens in the future, but something that selects a past.
Not an injection of energy, but a constraint on what histories are allowed, a pressure that filters the trajectories that can lead to this moment. There has to be a sequence of events that leads to the arrangement of me now. Perhaps this is the only history that survives the constraint of a wish I would one day impose: that I be well.
If so, thanks.
