control flow that can actually be traced without years of experience in some stupid fucking framework? awesome giant fucking piles of refactoring-hostile boilerplate everywhere? oh are you on a kloc-based productivity metric, sucks bro

this is why cognitive attractor basin escape strategies like divination and violently alienating everyone you know are so important https://twitter.com/ideologysurfer/status/1187046804824776704 …

Don't see the utility, you just make fucked up decisions, but now with a pseudorandom decision making factor mixed in.

Introducing random noise is sometimes a valuable tactic. See for example reinforcement learning algorithms, or simulated annealing, or game theory in imperfect information scenarios. This fact may help explain why people are so nuts : it is selected for.

there's some paper or something about this that people have been talking about but i don't actually know its title or who wrote it

I think introducing random decision making into game theoretic scenarios to thwart certain opponent types is a common thing

sure, this was specifically about divination as a strategy obliqueizer though and covered interesting corrolaries like high-cost divination mechanisms being superior because you're more likely to actually do what they indicate

Replying to @chaosprime @reighleyc and
why would "strategy obliqueizer" be of use in scenario like "a coding practice is used in an obnoxious and dysfunctional way that impedes code readability and refactoring"? Like, at best it would increase the diversity of fuckup patterns, not reduce fuckupitude.

Replying to @0K_ultra @reighleyc and
the phenomenon being identified is that your early mistakes seem increasingly justified because you build on them, so the use of oblique strategies is getting you outside of your model that's built on them so that, inshallah, you notice that they're fucked

ah, IC. Well, okay, there's something to that! P.S.: it smells of unsupervised learning, however

i love the smell of unsupervised learning in the morning
