Took advantage of yesterday's light snowfall with @acupoftee.bsky.social. Found a state park in Framingham for a lovely hike

Unrelated: Nothin I create personally uses generative AI. It’s soulless, it lacks character, and I hate that the em dash, my favorite way to breakup independent clauses, is now the bastardized symbol and cynosure of AI usage 😭

I’ve learned through experience the best time to network with others in your industry is during employment. There’s no tacit power dynamic between employed vs unemployed—you’re establishing a baseline level of respect that makes it easier to connect as equals.

💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

My favorite place to people watch is at a music store before my violin lesson. I love seeing the joy on people’s faces when they take their first instrument home!

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

For real!! You’ve done so much for the community with your knowledge and platform! We gotchu!

I’ll also look into my network regarding your mentee!

"Normal channels" are designed to disadvantage specific groups. People with privilege get positions through connections and nepotism all the time, they just get to do it in private and via institutional traditions like "legacy students."
Until the world is fair, kids should use the tools they have.

Yes! If I were a mentor I wouldn’t want someone else to go through the same trials and tribulations I did in my time in the tech industry. Great mentors understand what it means to get the opportunity—why not leverage everything you’ve got to make the journey attainable for everyone?

The Browser Sensorium • Grace Kind Half of AI agents are blind; the other half are deaf.

Current AI agents are perceptually limited. To illustrate how, I created a site that only some AI agents can see.

"A study examining 2.6m Bluesky posts referencing more than 500k scholarly articles over the past 2.5 years found they demonstrated 'substantially higher levels of interaction' – likes, reposts, replies and quotes – and greater 'textual originality' than previously reported for X, formerly Twitter."

*No generative AI tools were used in the making of this project, nor any others that will be posted.

Every time I ask an LLM anything about Programming I end up insulting it.

Bluesky CEO: I turned a Twitter research project into a rival company—'we've achieved what a lot of people said was impossible' Under CEO Jay Graber, social media company Bluesky has grown to 38 million registered users while weathering large-scale challenges over the past few years.

Off to @acupoftee.bsky.social and I's first #WNBA game, because The Fever are big enough for the game to be at TD Garden. Tried to be a Suns fan, but oddly them being the local team made them harder to watch in League Pass, so I'mma repping my Aliyah Boston jersey and rooting for The Fever

Falling in love with coding all over again 💕

Happy #Pride! Instead of cops, can we enlist women rugby players to tackle homophobes this year?

Back in my coding for fun era 👩🏾‍💻💕 I’ve already scaffold like 4 projects

I just signed up for a spring kickball league through Stonewall Sports Boston, and it's awesome seeing all the other leagues and activities they offer. It's like an after-school program for adults!

A rectangular image with black vertical rectangles at the bottom left and top right that indicate missing data. A young star-forming region is filled with wispy orange, red, and blue layers of gas and dust. The upper left corner of the image is filled with mostly orange dust, and within that orange dust are several small red plumes of gas that extend from the top left to the bottom right, at the same angle. The centre of the image is filled with mostly blue gas. At the centre, there is one particularly bright star that has an hourglass shadow above and below it. To the right of that is what looks like a vertical eye-shaped crevice with a bright star at the centre. The gas to the right of the crevice is a darker orange.] Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, K.

At the bottom of the image a small portion of the Horsehead Nebula is seen close-in, as a curved wall of thick, smoky gas and dust. Above the nebula various distant stars and galaxies can be seen up to the top of the image. One star is very bright and large, with six long diffraction spikes that cross the image. The background fades from a dark red colour above the nebula to black.] Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA, CSA, K. Misselt (University of Arizona) and A. Abergel (IAS/University Paris-Saclay, CNRS)

Some of the best sounds in the world:
1. Rain outside when you’re inside and cozy.
2. Hot tea being poured into a tea cup.
3. The chattering of a spinning wheel.

I am cleaning my office to prep for renovations this spring. Now that I have all this space I am already envisioning all the new hobbies that could occupy it 🤩

Musk is working on replacing contract workers in the Department of Education with AI chatbots, aiming to use generative AI to handle student and parent inquiries.

Amazing how the president can decide that the Gulf of Mexico can transition to The Gulf of America but can’t handle the fact that humans can change genders? The irony is so loud I need earplugs.

It’s Fantasy Football not just D&D that actually happens every week with other people making your dice rolls?

I should sign up to be an editor—I speak two languages and
had a period where I voraciously read about the Black woman human computers of NASA for example. Thank you for this video!

They are obsessed with preventing the next Katherine Johnson, even if it means the NASA space program only produces corpses going forward.
