Berlin Glassworks is a really lovely non-profit that does free classes for kids, supports aritsts, and gives opportunities for adults to learn about working with glass, including glass blowing, cold working, and stained glass. They are however in permanent dire straits thanks to the volatility of the energy market, the disappearance of public funding grants under the current government, and the simple fact that running a hot shop is expensive and hard to maintain.

They are currently doing a fundraiser to help with their funding situation, as well as place some relief on their financials by allowing them to bulk order things like glass cullet (the raw material you melt in a furnace to blow glass).

If you have the means, please consider throwing them a donation. Their work exposes many children to a disappearing craft, and provides a space for new glassblowers to learn. The donations are tax deductible. Help the arts and traditional crafts.

just had a mad idea while out walking.. a go cli tool that just renders HTMLish markdown over web sockets to a Phoenix live view backend.

For example you’d send list items and it could choose one, send it back, and get some new output rendered back.

A CLI tool that never needs updating because it’s just a shell for liveview app.

Stupid? Visionary?

comments welcomed!

Hi . We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never pat a fox (:neofox_floof:). Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never patted a fox (:neofox_floof:).

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life patted a fox (:neofox_floof:).

Have you ever patted a fox?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

Fascinating paper: Your Morals Depend on Language (Costa et al., 2014). People make significantly more utilitarian choices in moral dilemmas when the dilemma is presented in a foreign language, apparently because a foreign language dulls emotional responses and shifts the balance toward deliberative thinking.

It matches my own experience. Thinking in a foreign language feels like rendering graphics without GPU acceleration: everything runs on raw CPU, slower and more laborious. After a full day of conversations in English or Japanese, I'm physically exhausted in a way that Korean never does to me. What I didn't quite register until reading this paper is that the “GPU” doing all that fast, effortless processing is largely the emotional system. When it steps back, you end up doing more of the reasoning yourself. Whether that's a feature or a bug probably depends on what you're deciding.

TIL bilinguals given the trolley problem in their native language chose to sacrifice one to save five less than 20% of the time. In their second language, about 50% chose to, because a foreign language lowers emotional resonance and triggers more utilitarian reasoning.

«AI asks that you buy into the idea that more data means being closer to The Truth. It means that you should want to offload your limited cognition to the super machine. And perhaps most dangerously — that you understand all of this as a scientific endeavour.»

Hi . We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a crow it came up that she has never been sat on by a cat. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never been sat on by a cat.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on by a cat.

Have you ever been sat on by a cat?
