So, they haven't blown the social media bugle yet, but @katherined and I did a @dsearls's-less episode of @reality2cast.

It's one of my favorite types of podcast episodes -- just two friends talking shop. PLUS: My dogs decided to participate too, as they are in the background pretty clearly. https://www.reality2cast.com/138

Please stop using “mom” as an example of an unsophisticated user of technology. This reinforces harmful stereotypes.

Instead, I suggest using “congressperson”.

All the functional pieces of my hackaday-inspired knitting clock are in place:

* Working circular knitting machine
* Spare Raspberry Pi I had lying around
* Adafruit motor control hat
* Spare stepper motor from a broken 3D printer
* Software to control the stepper motor

The next and more challenging step is to figure out the best way to attach the motor to the knitting machine and build an attractive case to mount everything.

Since JSON is pronounced Jason (this is an undisputed fact), I declare DNS is now pronounced Dennis.

It's not DNS
There's no way its DNS
It was DNS

Becomes....

It is not Dennis
There is no way its Dennis
Yep, it was Dennis

And here is a picture of Dennis in his natural habitat.

The latest newsletter from @dsearls is out. “Deceptive Design has a long list of examples. None, however, are more common than what the perps call “your choice” of cookies.” #podcast #newsletter #adtech

A REAL weekend assignment. And a bit of a challenging one as well. Feel free to give it a try, and we'll go over the solution this weekend during the livestream.

Another look at the use of machine learning and #AI. If more complex algorithms don't perform significantly better, wouldn't it be more appropriate to use transparent, easy-to-interpret models?
In cases like #fraudprevention sometimes less is more.

I recently caught up with Dan Williams and talked with him about his journey to becoming the Chair of the Technical Advisory Board of the Linux Foundation. We covered topics such as the importance of code reviewers, getting the silicon right and whether or not The Phantom Menace was a good movie.

In the last few months I've been researching in depth the implementation of transformers for TS. This is an interesting paper that challenges the confidence of it. Surely interesting papers will come to find the next SOA.
