Teaching young kids to respect consent and that people shouldn’t be violating their space or they should not violate others’ space, privacy, etc., especially in embarrassing situations, shouldn’t only matter once puberty hits.

Ahmed loves seaweed, but a classmate of his takes the seaweed from Ahmed without asking.
Should I pack an extra seaweed for the kid? Or should I tell Ahmed to stand up for himself?

I was telling someone that my child isn’t allowed to watch aggressive sports like UFC or watch aggressive media. They looked at me strangely and thought I was controlling. Ah, to be young and not know anything about the media we consume and how it can influence our children’s and our own behavior.

My son wants to play for the @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social and has me watching every Eagles game and keeps asking me why I love soccer more than football? I never would have thought this would happen when I moved to Philly.

I wonder if it’s possible we can create a kind of “differential privacy tool” that instead of making it easier for people to analyze data sets without exposing personal information, instead it poisons the well of data that is available to these “AI” companies.

I don’t know how long this side quest of consulting on antitrust remedies is going to last, but I am 3 for 3 with expert witnesses to tell the courts how to break up monopolies.

I’ve been away from writing Scheme programs for years, and I recently wrote one. It’s a dumb idea. Instead of raising an error when the program fails, it calls out to an LLM to generate a fix.
