The pope's "lane" is humanity. In reading the article, I found the position he puts forth to be measured and considered, focusing not on the technical aspects of AI, but rather on how to approach its use and implementation with empathy and careful thought.

I've been working on a super-straightforward volunteering platform -- https://handsup.barryvan.com.au/ . Mainly because I got frustrated with my kids' school and sailing club activities being (mis)managed across WhatsApp, Google Forms, pieces of paper, and the like.

Really interesting to see just how _loud_ the infrasound from these datacentres can be.

I'm curious as to what the cause is, though. I have to imagine it's related to the cooling systems in some way -- but is it the overall datacentre's cooling, or all the individual fans? Or something else entirely?

There are lots of ways to style these native controls, though, including ways to start from scratch and retain the accessibility affordances.

I'd be curious to know more about the usability issues you've found on mobile -- I've not had any personally when using radio buttons. I'll readily grant you that 'select' is awful everywhere though!

This is an unreasonably effective way of running cables. The first time I used it it felt like magic with how quick and painless it was.

From the article:

> The vast spider population is attributed to an abundant food supply: more than 2.4 million midges in the cave, ready to be entangled in the intricate web.

...although I guess the question then is what sustains the millions of midges!

Loads of music production opportunities on Linux! Reaper (which I use, albeit in Windows), Bitwig, Ardour, Renoise (which, as a tracker, may be more approachable for Devs), and more besides! And there's always CMusic (with various bindings, including Python) if you want something more akin to a sketchpad/algorithmic system...
