Thhis fucking guy.
We’re still fighting for shit like accessible mathbooks, in 2023 for fuck sake, and this guy’s like “spend money you’d normally spend on diversity initiatives by giving it to poor people”.
God fuck these people.

Vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript is the “universal language” of modern networked computing. Know that, and know it deeply, and you can speak “internet” in nearly any context, in nearly any job.
That’s the power of international standards and open protocols. They’ll never go out of style.

OpenAI’s Altman and other AI giants back warning of advanced AI as ‘extinction’ risk. If Sam truly believes in the risks posed by AI, he should consider shutting down OpenAI. Power down the data center, delete software & models associated with it. I don’t get his motivation here. What do you want, man? First,you say OpenAI is the best. Then, the next day you say it will pose a significant risk to the human race. So, shut down the OpenAI & move on with your life. Stop making up bullshit #ChatGPT

@scottrut Amazon owns it and its book database, which is why, even though things like its recommendations absolutely suck, and you don't have control of your data, and the archive they'll give you is quite limited, any alternative like Bookwyrm suffers from the problem of people being easily able to find and track books and get recommendations for new things to read.

@scottrut It's reasonably accessible on the iPhone, and you use the app with the Goodreads website to track the books you're reading, have read, or want to read. It also has some social capabilities. You can have friends, for instance, and see what they're reading/want to read/have read.

“Haha lol banks use 60 year old programming languages!”
Yes, young whippersnapper, that’s because they need things to be reliable and not change all the time, the code probably has to run for another 60 years.
“Modern” devs could learn a lot from not trying chase every trendy new framework and every shiny new programming language.

@bmoore123 This is going to sound counter-intuitive, but use the braille viewer to get visual indicat ion of what's being spoken. Jaws context menu, utilities, braille and text viewer, then braille viewer.

Dear journalists: please stop embedding tweets. The infrastructure supporting that has, it seems, started to fail, so articles keep reflowing as parts of tweet embeds eventually load or don’t.
