Ha, I condensed a lot into that post.
A platform I have used classic ML is posture movement patterns to identify unsafe movement for factory workers. I worked with a data scientist on the firmware for these kineticcomp.com/reflex-weara...
Great platform with ML as a core component.
My answer to all of them is "retirement from tech"
There is no "AI" since its not intelligent. ML is useful and has been around for decades and can be quite useful in targeted contexts for pattern recognition/detection. LLMs apply those foundational ideas to language to make it appear smart, but it is still just pattern recognition in language.

This is what we call "Fake Spring" in NY.
We simply aren't supposed to be this aware of things
If I wanted encrypted DMs with people I trust with topics that warrant encryption and privacy I'd give them my phone number or Signal handle. Social networks have no business needing DMs.

The explosion of new programming "languages" is a weird "problem" folks are solving.

I can't wait until these show up and it gets warmer outside to put them on the trunk/boot lid.

Leading Go code review nit: putting helper types or functions above the main exported identifier. It reads like Go needs forward-declaration. Because you can define in any order, let's order by importance.
When I open a file I want to see the main characters, not the background actors 🎬

Great minds think alike.
Finished home dashboard. All self hosted and doesn't rely on creepy, exploitative, spying big tech.
RPi Monitor with a VESA mounted RPi 5 running magicmirror.builders with FOSS modules and a custom module I made so my wife and I can manage tasks from a little Go app.

Some words about my time at #atmosphereconf last weekend.

Newer social networks should be focused on quality now. We've all seen what happens when quantity is the driving force. The same goes for every other business with the sole purpose of growth.
I hit that a while back too and then I found their "Quirks" page. htmx.org/quirks/#by-d...
Today is one of those news days that tells me it's time to get offline for a while.
- Axios supply chain attack
- Claude Code leak
- Oracle cuts 30,000 jobs via personal email
- OpenAI raises $122,000,000,000
Entering burnout so it's time to shut it down for a bit.

the Atmosphere needs a LOT of care to be a functioning space for us all to have nice things.
there are many people here with experience in tradbiz, both sides of grant and philanthropic funding
there was even an expert in co-op structures at #atmosphereconf!
ask for help!
offer to help!
dms open!
feedback/recs/observations - share metrics, any numbers at all really (tune to audience) - communicate your monies (raised/received, what your ask is) - name your partners / any integrations/integrators / key users - say your url / handle, so ppl can open/try/save immediately - tell your personal story (but not too much, can't be the only thing) - make clear/concrete asks - it's generally ok to drop references, build cred - communicate your qualifications/experience (distinct from cred) - no acronyms - MAU matters, it's #realtalk, communicate it - if you don't already have/know, at least be able to communicate ideas for revenue to potential investors (they're investing to make money duh) - demonstrate you know how your industry *really* works - differentiator: why your thing is better/correct, and how validated that - funding: the room was a mix of vc and never-vc and unsure - the one sentence description was a near universal fail - communication depends on audience, know when to remix/reshape
Founders+Funders session at #atmosphereconf was a rollicking broad-ranging session
thx @bmann.ca @ricardo.bsky.social for organizing
below are some themes/observations
we need to talk a LOT more about funding to achieve an Atmosphere where builders have stable housing, food to eat, and healthcare
Same. I think we just need to find other nerdy folks to follow.
