tiredvivdunstan at 06:57pm on 24/03/2026 under blue badges, computing, long covid, maps, martin, perth, wheelchairOkay, it was lovely to see the heron again on my walk today. I wonder if it had decided that the eco-pond, with its shoals of Invasive Predatory Goldfish which people have dumped in it to the detriment of other life (frogs, newts, dragonflies) is a delicious all-you-can-eat buffet.
Assuming it is the same heron and that the first did not just tell a friend.

In more annoying news, today partner had a go at fixing my printer, which has been giving 'Paper Jam in Tray 1' error messages -
- and after doing pretty much the equivalent of open heart surgery on the thing, lo and behold, there was, entirely concealed from view, a page jammed in the works.
I depose that having to eviscerate a printer to discover this is something of a design fault?
Unfortunately, once the printer was put back together, it decided that the gate was open and it was not going to print anything.
Partner is going to have another go at it tomorrow, but I suspect that New Printer is in the future.

Meanwhile, I copied my paper for tomorrow to a memory-stick and took it to partner's computer so that I could print it out there.
This was accomplished successfully.

nwhyte_atom_feed at 05:06pm on 24/03/2026Second paragraph of third chapter:
He had at first been amused by the English girl’s interest in this American family, shrewdly diagnosing that it was inspired by interest in one particular member of the group. But now something out of the ordinary about this family party awakened in him the deeper, more impartial interest of the scientist. He sensed that there was something here of definite psychological interest.
This came to the top of my list of books set in Jordan a few weeks back; the first few chapters are set in 1930s Jerusalem, but the scene then moves to Petra, where the actual murder takes place, and then to Amman, where Poirot spends about half of the total page count solving it. The victim is a horrible character who has bullied her entire family into terrified submission; the question is, which of them bumped her off and how? There’s some very well done Christie-style deflection, where they try to cover for each other, though the actual solution to the crime is not really flagged at all to the reader, so I think it counts as one of the less fair whodunnits in her oeuvre. But the family dynamics are very well depicted.
There is a happy flashforward at the end to show all of the survivors living happily ever after. The book was published in 1938, and we are meant to think that 1943 will be the same only a bit better.
I looked into the setting of the King Solomon Hotel in Jerusalem; it’s pretty clear that this is meant to be a fictional version of the King David Hotel (though in fact today there is a King Solomon Hotel on the same street). There is a little local political commentary in that Mahmoud the dragoman (guide/ translator) keeps boring the Western tourists by going on about the Zionists / Jews. (Nice and a little surprising to see anti-Semitism portrayed as a negative character trait for a change.) But in terms of politics, a much more interesting character is Lady Westholme.
Lady Westholme was a very well-known figure in the English political world. When Lord Westholme, a middle-aged, simple-minded peer, whose only interests in life were hunting, shooting and fishing, was returning from a trip to the United States, one of his fellow passengers was a Mrs. Vansittart. Shortly afterwards Mrs. Vansittart became Lady Westholme. The match was often cited as one of the examples of the danger of ocean voyages. The new Lady Westholme lived entirely in tweeds and stout brogues, bred dogs, bullied the villagers and forced her husband pitilessly into public life. It being borne in upon her, however, that politics was not Lord Westholme’s métier in life and never would be, she graciously allowed him to resume his sporting activities and herself stood for Parliament. Being elected with a substantial majority, Lady Westholme threw herself with vigor into political life, being especially active at Question time. Cartoons of her soon began to appear (always a sure sign of success). As a public figure she stood for the old-fashioned values of Family Life, Welfare work amongst Women, and was an ardent supporter of the League of Nations. She had decided views on questions of Agriculture, Housing and Slum Clearance. She was much respected and almost universally disliked! It was highly possible that she would be given an Under Secretaryship when her Party returned to power. At the moment a Liberal Government (owing to a split in the National Government between Labor and Conservatives) was somewhat unexpectedly in power.
You don’t read Agatha Christie for sophisticated political commentary – the notion that the Liberals could have formed a minority government in the 1930s was ludicrous. (In the 1935 election they had lost half their seats and were reduced to 12 MPs.) We are clearly meant to read Lady Westholme as a direct parody of Nancy Astor, who was also American, had an aristocratic husband, was the first woman to take her seat in the House of Commons and was an outspoken Conservative (and anti-Semite and anti-Communist). One can only take those comparisons so far, of course, because…

…in an unexpected twist, it turns out that Lady Westholme is the murderer, having been a convicted felon before she became Mrs Vansittart and her political career began. She was being threatened with blackmail by the murder victim, an ex-prison guard who recognised her in Jerusalem. As often happens in Agatha Christie novels where the murderer is otherwise respectable, Poirot allows her to commit suicide rather than face human justice.
It seems hugely improbable that such a visibly controversial political figure would have been able to conceal a criminal past from public scrutiny by the time of the 1930s. (The nature of the crime is not revealed.) Some very strange people became MPs in the early twentieth century (I give you Trebitsch Lincoln, for instance), but they did not usually last more than one term. In today’s panopticon age, politicians’ life stories can be traced from before their birth; while it was more difficult ninety years ago, it was far from impossible. Christie ventured into politics occasionally, and usually (as in this case) got it wrong.

pissed offhillel_wayne_btndn_feed at 02:38pm on 24/03/2026The famous article Choose Boring Technology lists two problems with using innovative technology:
Both of these tie back to the idea that the main cost of technology is maintenance. Even if something is easy to build with, it might not be as easy to keep running. We cannot "abandon" mission-critical technology. Say my team builds a new service on Julia, and 2 years later decides it was the wrong choice. We're stuck with either the (expensive) process of migrating all our data to Postgres or the (expensive) process of keeping it running anyway. Either way, the company needs to spend resources keeping engineers trained on the tech instead of other useful things, like how to mine crypto in their heads.
Tech is slow to change. Not as slow to change as, say, a bridge, but still pretty slow.
Now say at the same time as Julia, we also decided to start practicing test && commit || revert (TCR). After two years, we get sick of that, too. To deal with this, we can simply... not do TCR anymore. There is no "legacy practice" we need to support, no maintenance burden to dropping a process. It is much easier to adopt and abandon practices than it is to adopt and abandon technology.
This means while we should be conservative in the software we use, we can be more freely innovative in how we use it. If we get three innovation tokens for technology, we get like six or seven for practices. And we can trade in our practices to get those tokens back.
(The flip side of this is that social processes are less "stable" than technology and take more work to keep running. This is why "engineering controls" are considered more effective as reducing accidents than administrative controls.)
Pushing this argument further, we can divide technology into two categories: "material" and "tools".1 Material is anything that needs to run to support the business: our code, our service architecture, our data and database engine, etc. The tools are what we use to make material, but that the material doesn't depend on. Editors, personal bash scripts, etc. The categories are fuzzy, but it boils down to "how bad is it for the project to lose this?"
In turn, because tools are easier to replace than material, we can afford to be more innovative with it. I suspect we see this in practice, too, that people replace ephemera faster than they replace their databases.
(This is a short one because I severely overestimated how much I could write about this.)
It's in a week! You can submit your April Cools in the google form or, if you want to be all cool and techie, as a github PR.
This is different from how we call all software "tools". ↩
ecosophia at 11:49am on 24/03/2026 under a hypothesis, coronavirus, covid-19, medical industry, politics, spare me the ai-generated crap
We are now well into the fifth year of these open posts. When I first posted a tentative hypothesis on the course of the Covid phenomenon, I had no idea that discussion on the subject would still be necessary all these years later, much less that it would turn into so lively, complex, and troubling a conversation. Still, here we are. Crude death rates and other measures of collapsing public health remain anomalously high in many countries, but nobody in authority wants to talk about the inadequately tested experimental Covid injections that are the most likely cause;

theatlantic_health_feed at 07:30am on 24/03/2026Millions of people have watched Robert F. Kennedy Jr. body-slam a man dressed up as a Twinkie. In an AI-generated video that Kennedy posted to X last week, he walks into a wrestling ring—shirtless, shredded, wearing his signature blue jeans. His opponent is smiling and holding a sign that reads I ♥️ Junk Food before Kennedy plants his foot into the Twinkie’s chest and suplexes the oversize treat into the mat. After a barrage of punches, kicks, and throws—all set to a Limp Bizkit song—the 72-year-old flexes his muscles while flames shoot out around him.
America’s health secretary has been on a meme blitz. Last month, the real-life Kennedy stripped down to his jeans to pump iron, cold plunge, and drink whole milk with Kid Rock. Thanks to AI, Kennedy has also been depicted as a character in the Nintendo game Super Smash Bros. who launches a frosted donut into oblivion, and as an action figure complete with “waterproof jeans” who protects kids from artificial food dyes. On Christmas Eve, Kennedy posted an AI-generated clip in which he calls Santa Claus to persuade him to put down the cookies, jump on the treadmill, and start chugging whole milk.
The memes are PSAs made for the TikTok age. Many of them explicitly mention Kennedy’s new slogan: “Eat real food.” They are absurd, juvenile, and, one has to acknowledge, pretty funny in their commitment to the bit. Many politicians have turned to memes to spread their message in ways that come off as embarrassing or out of touch (Hillary Clinton once urged her fans to “Pokémon Go to the polls”). But Kennedy—or his team, at least—seems to recognize the advantages of being in on the joke. A crusading 72-year-old with a six-pack, let alone one who works out in jeans, makes for prime internet silliness.
The recent memes are reportedly conceived of and made by a group of young staffers. Liam Nahill, Kennedy’s 26-year-old digital director, had a donut slapped out of his hand by Mike Tyson for one video. The approach is especially notable in the context of the Trump administration’s broader hunt for virality. The White House and other agencies have leaned into using social media to double down on the president’s antagonistic messaging—attacking opponents and making cruel jokes about volatile political issues such as war and mass deportations. The White House’s official X account has recently tried to promote the war in Iran by splicing footage of missile strikes with clips from Call of Duty and Wii Sports. Last year, the White House shared the image of a sobbing immigrant in handcuffs and turned it into an AI cartoon; Border Patrol posted a video of immigrants in shackles set to the song “Closing Time.”
[Read: The gleeful cruelty of the White House X account]
Kennedy’s memes, while over-the-top, offer a much more sanitized message: Be healthy. (At least, as far as Kennedy would define healthiness.) “The tonality of it doesn’t have quite the same emphasis on dominance, control, and fear,” Donald Moynihan, a professor at the University of Michigan who has written about the Trump administration’s approach to social media, told me. The memes are clearly invested in portraying Kennedy as an avuncular, larger-than-life cartoon hero. The health secretary moonlights as a falconer and follows a “carnivore diet.” In January, the HHS X account wished Kennedy a happy birthday by posting a photo of him cutting into a steak adorned with birthday candles. In the meme of Kennedy as an action figure, he changes from a suit into jeans to go rescue a peregrine falcon.
What Kennedy’s memes are not addressing is telling. Since taking office, Kennedy has attempted to dramatically rejigger America’s vaccine system. Though those efforts have recently been met with legal resistance, the result has been a kind of vaccine purgatory, in which it’s unclear who exactly is setting the country’s immunization policy. Kennedy’s meme campaign is happening at the same time that the Trump administration is reportedly trying to rein in the secretary’s anti-vaccine advocacy ahead of the midterm elections. Late last year, a prominent Republican pollster published a memo stating that “vaccine skepticism is bad politics.” It’s likely not a coincidence that there are no HHS memes about measles or autism.
Emily Hilliard, an HHS spokesperson, did not answer questions about strategies to divert attention away from Kennedy’s anti-vaccine efforts. “Secretary Kennedy is the most-followed Cabinet Secretary in the Administration across all platforms,” Hilliard told me in an email. “Our content is designed to reach broader audiences, meet people where they are, and reinforce practical, everyday steps.”
While Kennedy’s anti-vaccine views remain unpopular, his critiques of the food supply have broad bipartisan support. A February poll found that nearly 70 percent of Americans think the government should do more to discourage unhealthy eating. On that front, however, Kennedy and his team haven’t actually accomplished much. The health secretary came into office pledging to “end the chronic-disease epidemic,” but several of the policies he promised—such as removing ultra-processed foods from school lunch—are not even within his purview as health secretary. In a YouTube video posted shortly before he was picked to lead HHS, Kennedy decried the fact that America hadn’t yet banned certain artificial food dyes, promising that “President Trump and I are going to stop the mass poisoning of American children.” Instead of eradicating synthetic food dyes, which is within his purview as health secretary, Kennedy has focused on using his bully pulpit to pressure food companies to voluntarily remove them.
[Read: America’s convenience-store conundrum]
Amid prodding from the secretary, some food companies have said they will do so, but many of those pledges do not go into effect until next year or later. Doritos is one the few brands that has already introduced dye-free versions of its chips, and yet the company also still sells the bright-orange version. Although the administration has also released new dietary guidelines, telling people to “eat real food” and getting them to actually do so are separate challenges entirely.
This middling progress—the actual work of government, of public service—is obscured by Kennedy’s online persona. Twinkies might still be on supermarket shelves, but the health secretary will meme his way to the notion that he is laying the smackdown on the junk-food industry nonetheless.
jazzyjj at 06:38am on 24/03/2026 under just one thingbruce_schneier_feed at 11:03am on 24/03/2026Japan’s election last month and the rise of the country’s newest and most innovative political party, Team Mirai, illustrates the viability of a different way to do politics.
In this model, technology is used to make democratic processes stronger, instead of undermining them. It is harnessed to root out corruption, instead of serving as a cash cow for campaign donations.
Imagine an election where every voter has the opportunity to opine directly to politicians on precisely the issues they care about. They’re not expected to spend hours becoming policy experts. Instead, an AI Interviewer walks them through the subject, answering their questions, interrogating their experience, even challenging their thinking.
Voters get immediate feedback on how their individual point of view matches—or doesn’t—a party’s platform, and they can see whether and how the party adopts their feedback. This isn’t like an opinion poll that politicians use for calculating short-term electoral tactics. It’s a deliberative reasoning process that scales, engaging voters in defining policy and helping candidates to listen deeply to their constituents.
This is happening today in Japan. Constituents have spent about eight thousand hours engaging with Mirai’s AI Interviewer since 2025. The party’s gamified volunteer mobilization app, Action Board, captured about 100,000 organizer actions per day in the runup to last week’s election.
It’s how Team Mirai, which translates to ‘The Future Party,’ does politics. Its founder, Takahiro Anno, first ran for local office in 2024 as a 33 year old software engineer standing for Governor of Tokyo. He came in fifth out of 56 candidates, winning more than 150,000 votes as an unaffiliated political outsider. He won attention by taking a distinctive stance on the role of technology in democracy and using AI aggressively in voter engagement.
Last year, Anno ran again, this time for the Upper Chamber of the national legislature—the Diet—and won. Now the head of a new national party, Anno found himself with a platform for making his vision of a new way of doing politics a reality.
In this recent House of Representatives election, Team Mirai shot up to win nearly four million votes. In the lower chamber’s proportional representation system, that was good enough for eleven total seats—the party’s first ever representation in the Japanese House—and nearly three times what it achieved in last year’s Upper Chamber election.
Anno’s party stood for election without aligning itself on the traditional axes of left and right. Instead, Team Mirai, heavily associated with young, urban voters, sought to unite across the ideological spectrum by taking a radical position on a different axis: the status quo and the future. Anno told us that Team Mirai believes it can triple its representation in the Diet after the next elections in each chamber, an ostentatious goal that seems achievable given their rapid rise over the past year.
In the American context, the idea of a small party unifying voters across left and right sounds like a pipe dream. But there is evidence it worked in Japan. Team Mirai won an impressive 11% of proportional representation votes from unaffiliated voters, nearly twice the share of the larger electorate. The centerpiece of the party’s policy platform is not about the traditional hot button issues, it’s about democracy itself, and how it can be enhanced by embracing a futuristic vision of digital democracy.
Anno told us how his party arrived at its manifesto for this month’s elections, and why it looked different from other parties’ in important ways. Team Mirai collected more than 38,000 online questions and more than 6,000 discrete policy suggestions from voters using its AI Policy app, which is advertised as a ‘manifesto that speaks for itself.’
After factoring in all this feedback, Team Mirai maintained a contrarian position on the biggest issue of the election: the sales tax and affordability. Rather than running on a reduction of the national sales tax like the major parties, Team Mirai reviewed dozens of suggestions from the public and ultimately proposed to keep that tax level while providing support to families through a child tax credit and lowering the required contribution for social insurance. Anno described this as another future-facing strategy: less price relief in the short term, but sustained funding for essential programs.
Anno has always intended to build a different kind of party. After receiving roughly $1 million in public funding apportioned to Team Mirai based on its single seat in the Upper Chamber last year, Anno began hiring engineers to enhance his software tools for digital democracy.
Anno described Team Mirai to us as a ‘utility party;’ basic infrastructure for Japanese democracy that serves the broader polity rather than one faction. Their Gikai (‘assembly’) app illustrates the point. It provides a portal for constituents to research bills, using AI to generate summaries, to describe their impacts, to surfacing media reporting on the issue, and to answer users’ questions. Like all their software, it’s open source and free for anyone, in any party, to use.
After last week’s victory, Team Mirai now has about $5 million in public funding and ambitions to grow the influence of their digital democracy platform. Anno told us Team Mirai has secured an agreement with the LDP, Japan’s dominant ruling party, to begin using Team Mirai’s Gikai and corruption-fighting Mirumae financial transparency tool.
AI is the issue driving the most societal and economic change we will encounter in our lifetime, yet US political parties are largely silent. But AI and Big Tech companies and their owners are ramping up their political spending to influence the parties. To the extent that AI has shown up in our politics, it seems to be limited to the question of where to site the next generation of data centers and how to channel populist backlash to big tech.
Those are causes worthy of political organizing, but very few US politicians are leveraging the technology for public listening or other pro-democratic purposes. With the midterms still nine months away and with innovators like Team Mirai making products in the open for anyone to use, there is still plenty of time for an American politician to demonstrate what a new politics could look like.

You may value their lives above your own; I cannot do so, for to me you are worth far more than all of them. I will not obey you in such a case, and as for duty, I do not care for the notion a great deal, the more I see of it. [p. 196]
Audiobook reread: I first read this as an arc in 2005, and reread in 2019. I still love this book a great deal, and had a better sense of the pacing when I listened to the familiar procession of events. Splendidly read by Simon Vance, who gives Temeraire a very slight 'foreign' accent, perhaps hinting at his mysterious origins. I'm so tempted to buy the audiobooks of the whole series...
