Dec 3 - mile deep reactors
Startup Deep Fission plans to create nuclear reactors deep undreground, for safer reactions. They claim that using geological depth to contain the reactions will be cheaper, safer, and faster to deploy. spectrum.ieee.org/underground-

Could Deep Fission’s Reactor Change Nuclear Energy Forever?

Could underground nuclear reactors be the key to safer, cheaper energy? Deep Fission's innovative design might just change the game.

Ghostty is now a non-profit project, fiscally sponsored by Hack Club. https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-non-profit I view terminals as critical infrastructure that should be stewarded by a mission-driven, non-commercial entity that prioritizes public benefit over profit. Ghostty is now that.

Dear friends of offline,

we're organizing an art sale on 6. & 7. December to raise money for our expenses and ask your support with this to keep the space running.

We need people to cover shifts, help with preparations, cooking food and bringing cakes. We're also interested in people sharing their skills or passions by offering workshops, and we are also still looking for more contributions from artists and makers!

Poster for event: "Offline Art Sale" December 6th and 7th, Lichtenrader Str. 49. Art Donations by December 5th.

You might think it's not a priority with all the doom happening around.

But the erosion of privacy rights is directly linked to the erosion of human rights, and the loss of democracy.

Privacy makes it safe for you to discuss, to organize, to resist, and to be your true self. This is exactly why fascists and authoritarians are attacking it.

If we lose privacy, we lose everything else. We have to defend it with all we've got.

Privacy rights are a priority.

I've been married twice 18 years apart. I wore the same shoes both times. I haven't told my wife because I'm worried it might upset her and I love her dearly. They're just really comfortable shoes and I knew I'd have to wear them for over 12 hours.

🌖 西雅圖人人厭惡 AI？
➤ AI 陰影下的西雅圖科技業：從機會到怨懟的轉變
✤ jonready.com/blog/posts/everyo
作者分享在西雅圖推廣其 AI 產品 Wanderfugl 時，遇到的普遍負面反應，與其他地區的熱情迴異。他剖析此現象源於當地科技公司（特別是微軟）因 AI 裁員、被迫使用成效不彰的 AI 工具，以及技術人員感到自身被邊緣化、能力不足的怨懟與恐懼。這種負面循環阻礙了創新，讓工程師與公司陷入停滯。
+ 身為微軟前員工，我完全能體會這種感受。Copilot 365 確實讓人抓狂，很多時候比手動還慢，但我們卻被迫使用。
+ 這篇文章說出了很多人的心聲。在西雅圖，談到 AI 好像就等於失業或能力不足，整個氣氛都很壓抑。

The “Works on My Machine” Certification Program

Joseph Cooney had a brilliant idea for a new application certification program. But Vista’s bland white-on-gray badge, in my opinion, doesn’t properly communicate the... authoritative... nature of said program. With the help of Jon Galloway, we zazzed things up a bit: You might think attaining such a prestigious,

I want you all to know that Jon Galloway, the so-called "artist" who created this image, subjected me to this .. this.. atrocity today, and thus I must subject it to you all as well because .. pain is only real when shared. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please direct any complaints to Jon Galloway's email address.

An absolutely hideous version of the Works on My Machine sticker with both Papyrus and Comic Sans fonts and horrible weird curvature of the words, and a wildly incorrect alpha shadow effect around the sticker. If you weren't blind before, you probably are now.

The replies in this thread are so heartwarming. I love seeing that @gnome solves real people’s problems in their everyday life.

I love that it’s more than a project for computer enthusiasts. It has a massive positive impact on people’s lives.

No idea why people are still on txwitter .. at this point, I view it as an intentionally self inflicted hellban. blog.codinghorror.com/suspensi

Suspension, Ban or Hellban?

For almost eight months after launching Stack Overflow to the public, we had no concept of banning or blocking users. Like any new frontier town in the wilderness of the internet, I suppose it was inevitable that we’d be obliged to build a jail at some point. But first

RE: fosstodon.org/@wagtail/1156568

I'm willing to entertain the idea that there are benefits to be had from LLM-assisted engineering--though the arguments from proponents tend to be along the lines of "you're holding it wrong" (i.e., using the wrong tools, models, workflows, prompts, etc...)

But I really enjoyed this post by @vossisbossMeagen Voss that focuses on the process of writing.

Folks who don't enjoy writing might think that the object of documenting something is to transfer meaning from point A to point B (their brain to the reader's brain), and I can see the allure of a shortcut (time-wise) provided by an LLM.

But for those of us who enjoy writing--and particularly enjoy expressing our "voice", along with our own biases, humor, perspective, and overall nuance--LLM-assisted writing is a complete drudge.

It will never be about using better tools, better models, better prompts... No matter how much context you feed into the machine, the extrusion will always converge somewhere between average and dull. Because whatever comes out... it will never be "you".
