RIP Margarat Hamilton. An absolute legend. A sizable chunk of what inspired me to become a software coder. And a cornerstone of space exploration.

The problem isn't rogue #AI models, it's *negligent companies*. If a biomedical firm put their product in public water supply because they wanted to test it 'in the real world', they'd be treated as criminal at corporate & individual level. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

@eurogamer.bsky.social Hey, so I've read the No Law article, and I noticed this little gem: "first person FPS". As opposed to what? A third-person first-person-shooter?

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Such an amazing video game. I just remembered I got this, I really need to get back into it. It was such a nice chill experience, we'd play it with a few people hanging out on Discord and it was a bit like we'd be in adjacent areas working on our respective ships.

8 Million protesters yesterday at #NoKings. No police beaten with flag poles. No fire extinguishers thrown at other humans. No vandalism or theft. No racist flags. No zip ties. No death threats. No pipe bombs. No poop smeared on walls. That's what happens when mature, civilized people protest.
