Tesla CEO now spending all his time supporting hateful ideology worldwide.

His political ambitions and projects, such as the election lottery and Twitter acquisition, are funded through loans on his Tesla stock.

If you’re buying a Tesla or charging at a Supercharger you’re financially supporting these efforts.

Hey folks! I'm going to be in Oslo, Norway this winter (nov/dec timeframe) -- do you live there / near there? Would you want to meet up for a coffee? LMK!
Apple’s attention to detail is INSANE. You can’t watch this and not smile.

Writing at the end of the world, from Hveragerði, Iceland

I think this, a discussion of the parallels between "AI" and "crypto", is a good take. I want to dig into the bit on "AI" being different because it has practical use.

"AI" is a marketing term. There's the stuff that was mainly called "ML" up until 2021 or so, which definitely has practical uses. E.g., if you're running a social network and need to help humans find the toxic stuff, ML can help.

But in the last few years there's a wave of hype mainly around the large language models, LLMs, and the large text-to-image models. So things like ChatGPT and DALL-E. It's really not clear to me those have much more practical use than crypto. Certainly not over their costs. 1/

People like to say that "AI" is different from crypto in that there are actual useful applications, and that's true. But the vast majority of people you're expecting to come up with those applications are the same people who were just trying to build products on the blockchain.

Happy solstice to my fellow godless heathens. 🌞

*Edit:*

I want to express my thanks and appreciation for all the boosts and comments! I had no idea this would get spread so widely, and I'm humbled by the support.

I'll reply to this post with the plan that I have for the next session.

Original post below...

I'm volunteering at my daughter's elementary school by teaching a "coding club" for 5th graders during their lunch and afternoon recess.

It mostly went great, except I left nearly in tears...

One of the kiddos that joined is blind, and I discovered that the coding programs for kids don't appear to be accessible *at all*.

First we tried Swift Playgrounds, but that didn't seem to work with VoiceOver. Then, he said that he's liked ScratchJr. in the past, and he got frustrated with that because he couldn't get his cat to move.

I'm kinda at a loss for how to help him. He left crying because he thinks that he can't get it, but I'm sure he can. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks!!

It's not long until the window closes for SwiftData changes in iOS 17.0. Please file feedback for things that affect you! Two massive ones for me: an equivalent of NSFetchedResultsController to make MVVM work, and an equivalent of (or at least support for) NSCompoundPredicate.
