Working on my booth for East End Kids Pride.
May 31, 10:30-2:30! Dentonia Park! #Toronto
See you there!
I'm flat-out amazed that we can monitor the currents of molten metal in Earth's outer core, 2200 kilometers underground--but we can. Lately, part of that flow has reversed direction, for reasons unknown.
There's a whole other dynamic world inside the world we see.

Turning on your lights and siren after losing a drag race is just poor sportsmanship.
The grave of Jules Verne features a statue of a man breaking out of the grave and reaching towards the sky. It's metal as hell.

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) https://isaiprofitable.com/

I took this photo years ago. It's still as creepy today as it was when I was driving down a rural road all by myself and looked to my right.

I'll be teaching a course in the fall on data communication.
One of the assignments I hope to put together is a lesson on how data is manipulated. I want to show how easy it is for climate change deniers, anti vaxxers, etc to crop data, stretch or flip an axis and suggest the opposite of what the data is actually showing. Still thinking through the assignment and I'm thinking of having them make an honest representation and one less so.
I think there's value to such a lesson given how much downright lying we have from not just randos but even political circles these days.
Was just going to use publicly available data sources but then I am thinking that there must be researchers here who have awesome data they wouldn't mind seeing put into visual form. If you do have data you'd be willing to let me use, please drop me a comment or PM and let me know how to access it. Thanks!
(P.S. would appreciate a share for wider reach)

All my attempts to communicate a vulnerability in #Signalapp have failed - I have not received any response to my multiple messages to them. Good people have tried to forward my concern to them (and I am thankful for your efforts and help), yet this has been to no avail.
I am disappointed in the lack of communication from Signal. I will be disclosing the full details of the issue later today (with end-user mitigations), after the six-month anniversary of the initial report.

The growth curve of space debris leveled off for a while. Now it's on a steep upward trajectory: There are 33,269 tracked objects, and counting.
It's still a manageable problem. But we need to manage it.

“To this challenge you must agree: if on this wall you wish to pee, you must first solve these riddles three.”
Today, @DAIR is releasing the Luddite Lab Resource Hub. The hub hosts case studies, resources, and political education for unions, labor organizations, and workers who want to fight “AI” and automation at work.
A lovely extremely non tech from my day job just naively pronounced copilot as “copylot” and I love it and cannot un hear it.
