Skill Quest Renaissance — Community of Skill Builders Build new skills and show off achievements. Community driven learning courses with collectible pin rewards.

I participated in the "She builds" day using Lovable AI yesterday and this is what I built

( I don't know why the AI decided to generate a different preview image but oh well)

I had so much fun volunteering at @socallinuxexpo.bsky.social yesterday! Especially since I got to meet and hang out with @chrizz.bsky.social and @trillium.is

OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters."

A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator YouTube video by Forbrukerrådet - Norwegian Consumer Council

"Make people dependent enough, and then make it shitty"

Still giggling at this hilarious video from the Norwegian Consumer Council "A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator" which seems a perfect embodiment of Silicon Valley and tech generally these days

How US tech giants supplied Israel with AI models, raising questions about tech's role in warfare U.S. tech giants have quietly empowered Israel to track and kill many more alleged militants more quickly in Gaza and Lebanon through a sharp spike in artificial intelligence and computing services.

I would like to remind people that AI has already been used to kill people

OpenAI and Microsoft supplied Israel with AI models to track and kill people in Gaza which led to increased civilian deaths

Ok I spent alllllllll day doing this. (Thought it would take 3 hours... definitely more) But I promised myself I would finish the course this week.
I'm feeling a lot better with React now and I got some accessibility tips and practice in there too.

YES! It has been clarifying so many things and I love the repetition in multiple small projects. It also helps me think of how I can break functionality down to more manageable problems

I'm so happy that the #100devs community is so active and helpful. Every week I'm getting new resources to look at and try. A couple weeks ago someone shared this video to help with react and man, it's helped a lot. AND it integrates with claude... My first AI project!!

This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses Nearby The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media's coverage of how people are using Meta's Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to ...

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

uhhh I don't think we should give consideration of resources to this dude's personal cash cow over survival of human beings...

lets see it

Man Opposing Data Center Arrested for Speaking Slightly Too Long An Oklahoma man tried to talk about a data center coming to his community. Police arrested him when he went a few seconds over his time limit.

Parking-aware navigation system could prevent frustration and emissions By minimizing the need to drive around looking for a parking spot, this technique can save drivers up to 35 minutes — and give them a realistic estimate of total travel time.

​New research from @cathywu.bsky.social et al. confirms something I've long suspected:

Navigation apps could save their users a lot of time — and tilt travel decisions toward transit and biking — if they showed users how long it takes to find parking.

Exclusive: US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere The portal could potentially put Washington in the unfamiliar position of appearing to encourage citizens to flout local laws.

I just posted a paper about Twitter’s algorithm moving people to the right and keeping them there.

Countries outside the U.S. are attempting to mitigate the poison from social media platforms like Twitter.

So the U.S. State Department is developing a portal for them to get around any such law.

The absolute arrogance.

im sure thats fine

In raid on journalist, Apple’s Lockdown Mode blocks FBI Lockdown Mode is not just for dealing with remote malware — it also appears to shut down some forensic devices.

Investigators could not unlock an iPhone seized in the FBI raid on a @washingtonpost.com reporter’s home because Apple’s Lockdown Mode was enabled, court documents reveal.

Re-thinking what my daily priorities should be.
I think I've done a good job building in some consistency of time allocated to working, but I need to stop putting off what I know really needs work.

Been using simple codewars problems for warm ups/ filling my daily github squares / practicing doing PREP and analyzing time complexity.
Then I move to leetcode on their explore cards to help with DSA. It is highlighting my gaps for sure.
I studied this solution for an hour.

On Logical Inference over Brains, Behaviour, and Artificial Neural Networks - Computational Brain & Behavior In the cognitive, computational, and neuro-sciences, practitioners often reason about what computational models represent or learn, as well as what algorithm is instantiated. The putative goal of such...

"Just because a model correlates with neural and behavioral data, it is not sufficient for us to infer that the model is performing cognition: correlation does not imply cognition."

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
