Do you feel the way about other fields of applied ethics? Bioethics for example? Technology ethics? Or even more broadly, ethics generally?
Also, and, of course, one can be a professional ethicist without being "anti-tech, anti-white, anti-bro". Whatever that means.

> need incredible amounts of tests to compensate for the lack of compile-time type checking
can you explain this a bit more? it seems to me that test coverage and typing solve different problems.

I’ve been using zotero since 2010 … it’s amazing to see it’s still developing. Dying to try the ios app but I never received an invite,but when I request one it says it was sent. If anyone would like to sell me one let me know.

I would pay even more to never again see "recommended" tweets from people I don't follow. I use Twitter sort of like RSS, insofar as I want to be able to see everything the people I follow tweet. It amazes me that its not possible to coerce Twitter to do this in the settings. Instead I have to view users individually to see what they've tweeted since I last checked the app.

I still use the old Berkeley SOAR archive (which is now at recipesource.com).

This is great. Can you point to any other similar sites, where I can download printable high res images of significant or interesting artwork? I found some at the Library of Congress, for example.

I was thinking about this recently watching a major web app throw a bunch of errors and slowdownsall to do with its SPA features. If it was just a normal web app it would be so much faster and more usable. It seems crazy to me that we have faster and faster computers and internet connections, and yet we've added all this new latency to the software we use.
I find the list of pros somewhat unconvincing.
For a lot of applications, a reload is no hardship, and is faster than most SPA interactions I see.
For a lot of granualar actions, jquery, while not sexy, is not harder to maintain than a full SPA would be.
The alleged development efficiency of decoupling front from back really needs context and argument.
As I see things, there are a lot of web projects where a normal app with a little progressive enhancement is a good solution.

I really struggled with your captcha. I had to solve 10 screens of images, it was very time-consuming and tedious.
figuring out the most useful epistemic and conversational norms around AI in work communication is still a work-in-progress.
there's times when "go talk to claude a bit and then get back to me with a more precise question" is reasonable, and other times where it inhibits learning and culture.
similarly, there are many occasions where i don't mind quoted AI with a human precis.
the most objectionable behaviours are not that different from pre-ai ones.
don't copypasta stackoverflow code without understanding it. don't submit PRs you can't explain to a colleague. don't waste time asking people things you can easily figure out. don't send unreviewed work to people expecting them to figure it out. don't quote authorities you don't understand.
all the same stuff applies to AI, but AI seems to have expanded the scope and scale of the bad behaviours, making the need for better defences more pressing.
