Here's a similar project focused on agtech & iot - https://github.com/mitra42/frugal-iot If anyone else has pointers to low cost sensor network appropriate for small scale farms pl…

This looks pretty interesting, but I don't understand why decompilers are not allowed. If this benchmark was aimed at recreating a SASS/server based product then it might make more…

For a similar take see Cory Doctorow's recent "No one wants to read your AI slop" - https://pluralistic.net/2026/03/02/nonconsensual-slopping/#r...

Spotify hires musicians to churn out content that fits certain criteria. see https://harpers.org/archive/2025/01/the-ghosts-in-the-machin...

While not 100% exactly what you're looking for, Huberman Labs episode on MDMA is pretty close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slUCmZJDXrk The "don't lose the magic" supplementatio…

I'm surprised at the investment in an area that's likely to undergo major environmental challenges but it will be fascinating to see how this turns out. Superficially it looks like…

Could this enable embedded as metadata in audio files? Ie: could this be similar to what Spotify might use to fingerprint the music they distribute?

indeed - the presenter (dhh) is Danish, and there was a photo of a container ship near the beginning of the demo video.

I bought my S76 laptop via my work's "choose your own workstation" program. It's a great way to support continued development of the software I use PLUS when you buy via S76 you ge…

fwiw - there are at least two production ready servers that coexist as twitter-like social hubs - https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma and https://github.com/mastodon/mastodo…

I wonder if this means they will reconsider their "Encrypted Media Extensions" spec. I lost all respect for the organization when that passed. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/09…

The 'Queen's consent' is more of a political lever than is typically acknowledged. See https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/feb/08/queen-...

The "it should die" camp take their view literally. At issue for many of us is the rampant consumption of resources to keep web3/cryptomining going. The ends( ) do not justify the …

there's the deepfake visual representation that we're discussing, but what's to say there isn't work being done on the acting side of things? I think there are broad horizons to wh…

I suspect that acting itself will be reduced to algorithms. Expression of different emotions could be digitized. This could open further avenues of automation - authors could confi…

I don't know if we could get all the required nitrogen to sustain our current agricultural methods, but there are definitely people working towards normalizing the capture and reus…

I'm looking forward to reading this. I listened to this excellent podcast with David Graber's coauthor, David Wengrow about the book and the fascinating discussion really hints tha…

I totally agree with your second point, but your first won't work. If a PWA has been downloaded it can report back its status - any PWA developer would rely on their own status tra…

An argument could be made that non-pub goers are still excluded from some kind of reward or compensation. If the buyer was spending their own personal money that might be one thing…
