Oh, damn, 600 followers. I should introduce myself again. I'm Sam. Pixel artist, author, and I'm brute forcing my way into learning calculus so I can go back to school for a bachelor's. Drink fluids, compliment someone, and remember that Kamen Rider is real and is your friend.

Katie Bouman was 29 when the world saw its first image of a black hole. At MIT she built CHIRP, an algorithm for imaging from sparse telescope data, and helped turn 5 petabytes into one picture. When her ecstatic reaction went viral, trolls swarmed to give a male peer credit for her work.

Our First Nations traditional territory maps are progressing. We're likely a week away from completing our alpha build. This will replace the Native-Land.ca territory maps, which went offline earlier this year (though they have other maps still online). It'll go online at knowledgekeepr.com

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

theatlantic.comThe Man Who Saved the Internet YesterdayOndřej Surý was a relatively anonymous volunteer working on PHP security. Then the internet exploded.

The State Board of Elections’ last-minute changes to voting by mail are leading to thousands more absentee ballots being rejected this election - at a rejection rate twice as high as in 2022. It’s infuriating. North Carolinians, please make a plan to vote this year, in person if possible.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

My ex-husband is one of the rapists at Aella’s simulated rape orgies that John Wentworth, Nate Soares, and I’ve heard Eliezer Yudkowsky also attended. He was an emotionally abusive partner and, until I left EA/rationality, he used the cult to keep me trapped. Journalists please DM.

I'm not calling this a 'sex' cult anymore. It's a rape cult. We should synonymize the AI industry with this rape cult at its center, and everyone must know about this. Using 'sex' or 'sexual assault' in place of rape demeans what these folks went through. Call it like the horror it is.
