RE: mastodon.social/@anewsocial/11

I'm so grateful to @snarfed.orgRyan Barrett for giving me a chance to partner with him on @anewsocial.

I still can't believe he decided to say yes after the wild essays I sent him over email about all the great things we can do with Bridgy Fed.

What an amazing year. We're just getting started 🚀

I peek at Meta's Threads every now and then. Just saw an ad for an app that lets me bet on things like "what will Mr. Beast say in his next video?" though completely unclear what yes/no means in this context.

I looked it up and this is being considered A Very Serious Company by other very serious companies.

It's just lightly regulated betting, but they call it "direct investment hedging against unpredictable macroeconomic events". I hate our reality

Ad from Kalshi. "What will Mr. Beast say next?" Yes button to bet $0.55, No button to bet $0.49. You can evidently both buy and sell bets. Infinite regress of commoditization.

FFS, how many times does it have to be said? DO NOT use Lithium Ion for static installations. They don't need the energy density and we don't need the fire risk.

LiFePO₄ is cheaper, inherently less risky and available in grid scale quantity.

Sodium is likely to be even better in some respect.

Coastal wetland deposition of cathode metals from the world’s largest lithium-ion battery fire - Scientific Reports

Fires at lithium-ion battery storage facilities pose emerging environmental risks that remain largely undocumented under real-world conditions. Following a major fire at the world’s largest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Moss Landing, California, we conducted rapid, high-resolution soil surveys to quantify metal fallout in adjacent estuarine wetlands. Field-portable X-ray fluorescence (FpXRF), validated by SEM/EDS, laboratory XRF, and ICP-MS, revealed a significant but transient surface enrichment of nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), and cobalt (Co). This enrichment had Ni: Co mass ratios near 2:1 serving as a geochemical fingerprint of NMC-type cathode materials. The metals were confined to a shallow surface layer (< 5 mm). Surface concentrations declined rapidly following precipitation and tidal inundation. The fallout’s thin, transient and patchy distribution would have eluded standard coring methods but was detected through spatially intensive FpXRF sampling, highlighting the importance of rapid detection and the mobilization of metals into wetland ecosystems. These findings underscore the need for adaptive environmental monitoring following battery fires and raise critical considerations for ecosystem protection and infrastructure as energy storage systems expand.

Americký prezident dostal od mezinárodní fotbalové federace cenu míru. FIFA ji udělila vůbec poprvé, a to právě Trumpovi, který se netají ambicí získat prestižní Nobelovu cenu za mír.
🔵 Prezident se sám dekoroval medailí, která k ceně patří, v rámci ceremoniálu k rozlosování Světového šampionátu ve fotbale 2026.

V čele strany PRO zůstává Jindřich Rajchl. Ve funkci ho potvrdili delegáti republikového sněmu. Politický subjekt disponuje jediným poslancem – právě Jindřichem Rajchlem. Ten kritizuje Evropskou unii i pomoc bránící se Ukrajině. Ve volbách získal mandát na kandidátce SPD. Spolupracovat chtějí i dál.

All non-annealed parts show cracks and none of the annealed parts do, I could not have hoped for a better result!
The gluing itself didn't introduce much stress in the annealed parts, but you can see the position of the cracks in the polariscope image of the non-annealed parts.

I'm really happy with these results, the solution to these cracks is very simple, easy and so effective!

the 6.8mm is another "fighting the last war" weapon.

In the mountains of Afghanistan, the Taliban used PKMs to plink in a guerilla war, so big Army wants a new gun

The Unexpected Effectiveness of One-Shot Decompilation with Claude

A deep dive into how a 'one-shot' Claude headless loop (paired with scoring, defensive tooling, and a simple bash driver) massively accelerates matching decompilation of Snowboard Kids 2 on the Nintendo 64.

𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not yet begun to fight" @Lana@beige.party

Okay I'm a teacher, so let me break this down for you in the simplest terms possible.

Let's say I am teaching a math class. The subject is addition. I teach you how to add two numbers together to get a different number. Then I give you an addition assignment so you can try a few examples for yourself.

Student A writes "2+2=4". This is correct. Student A gets points both for having completed the assignment and for getting the answer correct.

Student B writes "2+2=5". This is incorrect. However, I can see that student B is trying to engage with the material. I can help student B understand their mistake and correct it for next time. I can mark the answer wrong and make curriculum notes.

Student C writes "2+2=-64,863,702". This is wildly incorrect, and the student will not receive points for completing the assignment. I can tell from this response that student C not only did not understand the material, but likely got frustrated and just wrote down any old number because they knew it was going to be wrong. I can still help student C. They're going to need a lot of assistance, but that's the job. I can mark the answer wrong and make curriculum notes, including suggestions for how to help the student engage more with the subject matter.

Student D writes "2+2=JESUS WANTS YOU TO DIE". This is obvious nonsense. It's not just that the answer is wildly incorrect. And it goes beyond the fact that the student did not complete the assignment. And it even goes beyond the fact that the student is not engaging with the subject material or my class. In addition to all that, they have also decided to insult me, make veiled death threats, and use religion as a pretext for it. Obviously I have to mark the answer wrong. But perhaps not as obviously, there isn't much I can do to help this student. They have chosen not to engage with the material, with me, or with the entire concept of learning in general. They looked at a math assignment and decided the best thing to do was insult and threaten the teacher. The best thing I can do for the rest of my classroom is pull this student out of class and try to place them in some form of therapy for whatever behavioral issues this student is clearly struggling with.

The Oklahoma U student who wrote the "essay" about her "demonic" trans science teacher is this last kind of student. She got the answers wrong. Very wrong. Her assertions were unsupported, uncited, and lacked scientific rigor. But beyond that, she just chose not to complete the assignment. The assignment was to write an academic argument about a particular scientific article. Instead of doing this, she chose to write a sermon. And if she had stopped there, she would have been in the same boat as Student C who decided that 2+2=-64,863,702. But she didn't. She decided to include in her sermon a number of insults and death threats, which were aimed directly at her instructor. And she did all this from a place of perceived religious superiority.

"TRANS PEOPLE SHOULD DIE GOD TOLD ME SO" is not an answer to 2+2.

She MORE than earned a zero on that essay. And if she had turned in that shit in my classroom she would have been taken off my roster and recommended to appropriate mental health services.

Learning culture moderates how software organizations adopt tools and the implicit rules we're giving developers about what they can do, experiment with, push back on, and share.

And software has spent years dismissing it in favor of sloppy ad hoc velocity benchmarks
