Vizi e virtù: comportamenti morali e immorali. Buoni e cattivi. A quanto pare c'è una relazione tra il modo con il quale ci si comporta e il modo che ci definisce. Razzolare bene porta a cose non buone. Come diceva Oscar Wilde: "Charity creates a multitude of sins."
Money quote: "In one paper, economists at the University of Chicago reported that working for a socially responsible company motivated employees to act immorally. In one experiment, people were hired to transcribe images of short German texts and paid 10 percent upfront, with the remaining payment being delivered if they completed the trannoscriptions, or if they declared the documents too illegible to transcribe. When they were told that, for every job completed or marked illegible, 5 percent of their wages would be donated to Unicef’s educational programs, the instances of cheating rose by 25 percent, compared to where no charitable donation was offered. Cheating manifested in both workers not completing jobs (taking the 10 percent upfront fee and running) and also workers saying that documents were too illegible to transcribe (and so receiving the full fee)."

Money quote: "My background is in OO programming, mostly using C#. C# being the versatile language it is, I have had the perception that whatever you do in other programming languages, you can with a little more code and hassle achieve in C# as well. If need be, I can program C# using a functional paradigm. And, of course I use recursion all the time. I know all there is to know about recursion."

Giocare a scacchi richiede concentrazione. Ma che vuol dire? E che cos'è? E perché si tratta della materia di cui è fatta la nostra capacità di vivere attraverso un mondo sempre più complesso?
Money quote: "In chess, concentration usually unfolds in quick succession through perceiving, desiring and searching. But it’s recursive, so I often find something I didn’t expect in a way that leads me to see my position differently and want something else from it. My perception is pre-patterned through years of experience, so I don’t see one square or piece at a time. Instead, I see the whole position as a situation featuring relationships between pieces in familiar strategic contexts; a castled king, a fianchettoed bishop, a misplaced knight, an isolated pawn; it’s a kind of conceptual grammar. The meaning of the position is embedded in those patterns, partly revealed and partly concealed, and my search to do the right thing feels fundamentally aesthetic in nature."

L'elaborazione automatica delle informazioni porta anche a dei gustosi paradossi, come quello dei programmatori che sostanzialmente si ritrovano senza lavoro per aver creato sistemi in cui non serve più il loro lavoro, adesso svolto automaticamente dalla macchina che loro stessi hanno programmato.
Money quote: "About a year later, someone calling himself or herself Etherable posted a query to Workplace on Stack Exchange, one of the web’s most important forums for programmers: “Is it unethical for me to not tell my employer I’ve automated my job?” The conflicted coder described accepting a programming gig that had turned out to be “glorified data entry”—and, six months ago, writing noscripts that put the entire job on autopilot. After that, “what used to take the last guy like a month, now takes maybe 10 minutes.” The job was full-time, with benefits, and allowed Etherable to work from home. The program produced near-perfect results; for all management knew, its employee simply did flawless work."

Ridefinizione della famiglia e dell'identità dei maschietti e delle femminucce stile Disney, parte seconda: Frozen II
Money quote: "Does it matter if, in the end, Disney tells us that Elsa has a girlfriend, or if we all just know that she and Honeymaren are off riding horses into the sunset? This is the tip of the sword on which the question rests: At what point does representation become assimilation? When it comes to the kind of behemoth nation-state corporation like Disney, it is extremely telling that they have lagged behind on the representation of every marginalized group, that they still struggle to get even the most basic things right (like, for example, not retroactively giving white characters a Native lineage!). There’s a reason, of course, for all of this, and it’s often because, even as diverse as marginalized groups are, Disney stories are, generally, about the preservation of tradition, of the status quo. Disney stories, generally, protect the “good” people who are in power; the “villains” are the disruptive ones, those who are chaotic or power hungry, who seek to upend the way of things. Where is there space for folks on the margins? There is no revolution here, and expecting it from Disney is a fool’s game."

Se crediamo che il passato non esista più e il futuro non esista ancora, dobbiamo chiederci qual è la misura dell' "adesso". Da una parte deve essere sufficientemente lungo da essere colto, dall'altra il minimo istante percepibile da un umano non coincide col più piccolo istante temporale. Se il presente – unico ad esistere, seppur per poco – fosse più breve del minimo istante percepibile però non potremmo esperire alcunché, e non è così.
L'alternativa é un tempo che esiste nella sua totalità. È tutto già dato, ma non alla nostra vista – passato e futuro sono come paesaggi troppo lontani. Questo però non implica il determinismo, dato che il futuro non sarebbe determinato *dal* passato, ma *assieme* ad esso; ciononostante nulla di ciò che è, è stato e sarà può essere altrimenti.

Money quote: "Fiction is more complicated. Note first that, on the face of it, a work of fiction (a short story, a novel, a movie, a joke, or children’s game of pretend), consists of speech acts that, for the most part, look like ordinary assertions. As with lies and irony, there is no dedicated grammar or style for constructing fictional statements that would reliably distinguish them from regular assertions. When I give you a couple of pages of a seemingly realistic story, say in a diary format, you might not be able to tell if it’s a work of fiction or an actual diary. Moreover, as with lies and sarcasm, most if not all those assertoric (or fact-based) statements in a work of fiction are known by the author to be false. Again, we seem to be dealing with a genuine Gricean quality violation."

Si chiama "paradosso della scelta". Siamo passati da una economia in cui l'utilità (che nel capitalismo diventa la felicità) dei consumatori era basata sulla scarsità, a una dove si trova tutto, a cercare un po'. E siccome ci sono tipi diversi di persone, per alcuni questa possibilità di ricerca diventa un cruccio intollerabile.
Money quote: "After yet more hours of research, I finally isolate the perfect pair for me. I don’t want to buy them and have to online-return them—and they are sold out online anyway, due to having been recommended by most of the online shopping digest sites on Earth—so I find out they are sold in-store at a particular big box store in the city, supposedly in my size.
I arrive at the store and locate the glove section and the type of glove I’m looking for, only to find several completely empty racks, except for one pair in size XXXXL, and in a children’s version, with one glove inexplicably missing. Having again reached my tolerance for feeling like an ineffectual idiot unable to buy a simple pair of gloves, I give up and walk home gloveless, my hands freezing in the wind."

After the shift from hand-drawn to computerized drafting in the mid-’90s, I started noticing strange discrepancies in the engineering and architectural drawings provided by my clients: mis-centered circles, omitted reinforcing rods, a lack of crucial detail. Many of the people who were now designing on computers had never picked up a pencil or touched a piece of drafting paper or built anything."

Cresce a tutti i costi fa bene? Quand'è che abbastanza è abbastanza? Qual è la strategia? Una riflessione per Il Settimanale di PMI.it
Money quote: "Invece, spiega Rhone, non è necessario crescere a tutti i costi, non è necessario assumere solo per far vedere che si vale di più, non è necessario sottostare al ricatto delle trimestrali, che spingono a manovre ardite e alle volte suicide solo per portare a casa il segno più davanti agli indicatori del business. Più clienti, più fatturato, più prodotti? No."

Blue Origin declares on its website that the view of Earth from space is “life changing.” SpaceX quotes the late NASA astronaut Sally Ride saying her perspective on the planet from above made her appreciate the fragility of human life."

Le cose esistono tutte allo stesso modo?
Pare che nulla esista con maggiore o minore intensità: il Sole e un filo d'erba hanno pari dignità ontologica, nessuno dei due esiste più dell'altro, ci sono e basta. Eppure un filo d'erba ha un numero di interazioni con altri oggetti molto minore del Sole, oltre che una durata minore – e in questo senso potremmo dire che esiste "di meno".
Per capire quanto una cosa esiste però è necessario decidere quando una cosa è, appunto, *una* cosa. Un prato esiste più di un filo d'erba perché lo include? Il sistema solare più del Sole di cui l'astro è una parte? Secondo questo ragionamento ciò che esiste con maggiore intensità è la totalità degli oggetti, il Tutto con la maiuscola – ma se le cose esistono più o meno in base alle loro interazioni e durata, rispetto a cosa interagisce e dura il tutto?

Money quote: "Il costo della modifica delle infrastrutture esistenti, soprattutto all'interno delle abitazioni, è difficile da superare. Quest'estate i Democratici hanno approvato miliardi di dollari di finanziamenti federali nell'ambito dell'Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) per ridurre tali costi, includendo incentivi per tutti gli apparecchi elettrici e gli accessori necessari, come pompe di calore, isolamento, cablaggio, interruttori e piani cottura a induzione. Le condizioni economiche si stanno finalmente allineando per favorire l'elettrificazione. L'ostacolo più grande è ancora il problema delle persone. Gli investimenti dell'IRA non avranno successo se le persone che saranno più vicine alla realizzazione delle sue ambizioni - elettricisti, idraulici e altri tipi di specialisti HVAC - non saranno anch'esse d'accordo con la transizione all'energia pulita."
