Bernie Sanders just created a video to make a point about issues of privacy in AI (a real problem). His supporters on Muskrat's platform came for me when I quote tweeted his post saying, "at this point, Bernie’s job seems to be lobbying for Anthropic."

So I'm going to elaborate on the corporate psyop that has been happening since the beginning of time and how no one seems to learn their lesson.

I’m still looking for resources here if you know of any (tl;dr a company threatening debt collection over an account they admit is not mine).

I suspect a single piece of correspondence on law-firm letterhead resolves this, but for every firm I've talked to the dollar amount at issue is too low to even justify talking to one of their attorneys.

Unfortunately, the job didn't work out and I was let go earlier this month.

If you're hiring and at #PyCascades, I'm happy to talk! Otherwise I'm planning to ramp up job search things after the con.

Right now I’m quite happy where I am, but I can 100% see my next job being working on UK/EU sovereign digital infrastructure. Who is doing good things in this space?

So yeah. I am kinda looking for a new job that allows me to make our digital world meaningfully better. If you have any leads or thoughts, ping me.

also: the crew of the ill fated #apollo13 was saved by #JudithCohen, who did the Apollo Abort Guidance System and many other aerospace systems

*and then she gave birth to #JackBlack!*

"In a memorial tribute, her son Neil notes that she was troubleshooting problems with schematics on the day she went into labor, called her boss to let him know she had fixed the problem and then delivered Jack"

I've been programming in Rust for a few years now. I quite like the language, its tooling, and its library ecosystem. There's a few libraries ("crates") I especially like and use often. A short thread.

See https://blessed.rs/ for a list of "recommended crates" for a less personal list.

Forced to use AI at work, hate it. Usage is monitored so I can't avoid it. I've set up mine to play a Sim City clone. It burns through tokens, making crap cities that quickly go bankrupt. Just been told that I'm getting a bonus for being a top user.

If you have a chance to see the film "Crime 101" at the cinema I would highly recommend choosing a Dolby Atmos cinema because the sound design is excellent and deserves a decent setup.
