For the ninth(!) year in a row, I will be releasing 25 programming puzzles over the first 25 days of December over on https://t.co/yUcqHAUbop! It's completely free thanks to AoC++ supporters and thanks to sponsors. If you want to check it out early, all past puzzles are still up!

As I have repeatedly said over the last decade, the danger of machine intelligence isn't malignant machines, it's the use by people and concentration of power. I don't have a need for more feudal lords embedding their values into the very systems which influence me.

tech be like: hiring a staff engineer: one req, six hours of interviews promoting to staff: a ten page promo doc requiring months of effort, feedback from dozens of colleagues, and approval by six layers of management … and then we wonder why the average tenure is so short.

The hatred grows slowly - from ideas, prejudice, and words of dehumanisation. It's worrying that vile words of Holocaust #denial, #antisemitism and hatred do not violate @X @Support rules. cc: @elonmusk @lindayaX @CommunityNotes

It’s been *forever* since my last Physics Twitter Thread 😳. But today I ran into a beautiful artistic physics demo in my hometown that inspired me to write a few lines. I’m sure you’ve all seen these massive floating granite balls. How do they work? 1/13

No way to exaggerate how fucked up and dystopian it is that the reactionaries are transmuting the parable of the Good Samaritan from "he helps the person having problems" to "he kills the person having problems but who's making everyone else uncomfortable."

Wise words from @caitlinmoran, in an age of conspiratorial populism. If you think everything is the fault of "enemies of the people", "saboteurs", "new elites", "the deep state", "lefty lawyers" or "the establishment", the problem may lie closer to home.

Att samlas i parker för att fira sin högtid och sälja majblommor, är väl 10 av 10 integrationspoäng. Ändå sitter galaxhjärnor här och spyr ut sin rasism över att muslimer firar eid i nöjespark samt det, för mig helt oförklarliga, hatet mot ett BARN som sålt många majblommor.
