Leviathan Wakes is great, as is the sequel I enjoyed Scalzi's Old Man's War quite a bit How To Hide an Empire and The Jakarta Method are great, somewhat depressing, nonfiction reads I think someone here recommended reading about the Civil War? Grant by Ron Chernow was surprisingly hopeful

AI is Software: AI systems are software products, subject to the same incentive structures, market pressures, and liability gaps that produced today's unsafe software ecosystem — and they should follow the same Secure by Design Principles. The newness of AI does not reset the clock on those forces.

Might as well put it out here as well, though I'm working off a list of good resources so prob won't need as much help. Any articles people can recommend and/or link to that will introduce the Palestinian narratives and perspectives on IP to ppl who are not familiar with them?

They're always using the latest game engine and graphics capabilities - they're quite comparable to the other big FPS franchise games. But they don't really do online multiplayer, the kind of thing people can play endlessly. So there's less of a community around Wolfenstein games.

This is cool! Just spent an hour playing on my phone. I think there are aome features that need a keyboard, but I couldn't find a way to load the on-screen keyboard. I could have plugged one in - it wasn't a big impediment. Would be nice to be able to save and switch devices? Overall, it's great!

My brother has kids and too much stuff. He told me "No gifts that can't be consumed or buried in the ground." Was tempted to point out that almost anything can be buried. But I started sending snacks and it's been working out pretty well.

Pro tip: get delivery ice cream, cakes, cool bread, etc. for absolutely last-minute gifts. Easy, personal, and arrives on time.

Hive mind, can you share some restaurant recs for Minneapolis? I have a work trip there in two weeks and we need to make dinner plans Importantly, we will not be renting a car and need to stay downtown (please don't say "I swear this spot is worth the 20 minute Uber ride to...")

Deep engagement with books is one of (maybe the) best ways to inoculate your mind against our (almost aggressively) toxic intellectual environment. So, we've been doing these micro-courses on BlueSky to help with that engagement. Look for the next one on Friday morning!!!
