Recently I thought, why doesn’t someone create a tutorial on machine learning for non-technical audiences? After probably 80+ hours working on such a tutorial myself that is probably still super confusing, I feel I have the answer.

Just started reading Value Sensitive Design by Friedman and Hendry, and I cannot believe how relentlessly practical it is! Love that.

I attended my first academic event about blockchains/crypto. Quick takeaways:

🔨 Blockchains continue to be a solution in search of a problem.

🔺 Open cynicism in the crypto community about its Ponzi-ness.

⚖️ DAOs are effective but resemble primitive democracies from the 1800s.

🦹‍♀️ Financialization of everything is a magnet for bad actors.

✂️ Smart contracts are hard. Even a simple rock-paper-scissors game is hard to program because it exposes the other player's answer.
