Can we just accept that communicating is hard and respect attempts to explain complex things with words?

Calling things reductive sounds like a slam dunk but everything is reductive. Words are models representing real things. "The economy" - so complex. "This genre" - so complex. "People born in the 90s" - literally 1.3 billion people.

I took a PowerPoint slide I gave to some friends in the past, and rewrote it into a blog. Shoutout to Siddharth Kara for the inspiration. kenreid.co.uk/blog/hidden-co… #cobalt #ethics #technology #phones #samsung #apple

I'm proud of my little blog. Recently I've been working on a post about accessibility in data science. I also made my website more accessible, and added a dark mode! kenreid.co.uk/blog/accessibi… #datascience #accessibility #stats #visualization

Hummingbirds make me so happy. Such tiny little birds. Like fast fairy things. Honestly sounds like a great reincarnation option, basically the flash with wings and you just live on sugar and are beautiful.

Anyone else have nostalgia for the 90s / 00s internet? eBaums world, CRT monitors, MSN messenger? I wrote a blog post on it. kenreid.co.uk/blog/life-and-… #nostalgia #osrs #TechHistory

I remember when "have you seen the news?" was something you could say because something groundbreaking and of importance wasnt happening daily. Now it would be an endless "oh the school shooting? Oh, then what trump said about palestine? Oh, then the bombing? Oh, then the..."

Is it morally wrong for you, the user, to use ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude Code, etc? Read my rambling on AI, nuclear power, community AI and for some reason plastic bags. kenreid.co.uk/blog/ethics-of… #AI #LLM #LLMs #ethicalAI #Claude #ChatGPT #Grok #Gemini

Got honked at for putting my hazards on and slowing down for a squirrel, person behind passed and narrowly missed the poor wee thing 🐿️ I'll always slow down for wildlife when safe to do so, I don't care if it costs you 20 seconds.

Setting up a bot to auto respond to people announcing things on LinkedIn may increase your impact, but may also have side effects.

I converted my colleagues to the Church of ISO 8601. No more MM/DD/YYYY heresy. From this day forward, we walk in the light of YYYY-MM-DD. May your folders be sorted and your data be unambiguous.

I've been enjoying the mark of the fool. After rereading DCC and getting through 1% lifestyle, and a few other series, I hadn't realized I'd missed not one but two (jormungar worms, no wait) MotF releases. Great to jump back into it. #litrpg #dcc #markofthefool

I wrote a blog post on Dungeon Crawler Carl. kenreid.co.uk/blog/dungeon-c… #DungeonCrawlerCarl #LitRPG #booklovers

I love my puppy 🐶 💓
