There's a lady on Instagram that goes by the handle 'engineerkala', who's been building a tunnel/mine below her home and learning the process along the way. I'm pretty sure one day the account will go dark when she's entombed herself a hundred metres below her living room, but until that comes it's a fascinating and extremely entertaining page to watch.
she's mentioned in the second sentence of the post

The article is a transcript of the video at the top of the page. Grady's videos are quite impressive to watch.
There are people like myself who prefer to read at our own pace, even skim the article and look at pictures. Video sucks.
Grady's video are not instructions, they are entertainment. He is a much better producer of videos than a writer. I'm quite thankful that he makes transcripts of his videos, but they are always better watched instead of read.
Great content for the upcoming drone wars and the inevitable tunnels that will be built for troop and matériel movements
Israel and the US have shown in Iran you need to dig extremely deep, otherwise you stand no chance against modern bombs.

You can't talk about hobby tunnels without mentioning the Moleman of Hackney :-) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lyttle - The house was later brought back to life in an amazing way https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/sue-webst...
But I feel he was an amateur compared to Joseph Williamson :)

She is clearly autistic. And she is relatively intelligent. But she's not as smart as she seems to think she is. Some of the things she shows in her videos, complaining about code enforcement cracking down on her... yeah, no, she's going to be the object lesson on why the code exists.

I can’t wait till world models are good enough that you can ask robots to work autonomously to geo transform spaces.
You more or less can if you can afford the robots. Technically you need a dozen people or so to run the machines, but if you can afford the machine and costs to run it the costs of the people isn't going to phase you. Now if the robots were affordable to someone on a minimum wage income that would be a big deal.

On the other hand the code enforcement forced her to take a year to demonstrate her tunnel was safe, so she may be the illustration of the reasons the code exists in that she survives and finds another seam of rock to build her castle with. Who knows. I think it's wonderful that weirdos like her exist, whatever neurology they have.
