Nie chodzi o to, by rozbić serwery, tak jak luddystom nie chodziło naprawdę o rozbicie krosien. Chodzi o to, by odzyskać prawo do zadawania pytania, na które Dolina Krzemowa nigdy nie chce odpowiedzieć: czy konkretna maszyna powinna służyć wszystkim ludziom, czy tylko jej właścicielom?

Luddyści mieli rację. Uratuje nas tylko sprzeciw wobec technologii
Wbrew czarnej legendzie, luddyści wcale nie byli szaleńcami. Walczyli o ocalenie wspólnoty i godnych warunków pracy, których w pogoni za zyskiem chcieli ich pozbawić właściciele technologii.

Sparky showing both his elegant and derpy sides for #Caturday, and Tails giving a masterclass in how to look comfy.
#cats #caturday

A slightly blurry side-on photo of a white and tabby cat with his back half sitting/lying on a pine dining table, and his front legs dangling down over an orange dining chair. I love my dining chairs and congratulate myself on my fabulous taste three time a day 😄 In the background are a vertical black speaker, a floor lamp and a plant. This room is next in line for painting and a general facelift.
A different white and tabby cat lies snuggled in a grey fleece radiator bed.
Sparky, of the dining table dangling pose, now sits on a window sill looking at the camera and looking rather fine. The window has a fabric mesh over it to stop the cats walking on the outside window sill, as our sitting room is upstairs. Through the mesh you can see blue sky and a mature beech tree. I love the views from upstairs.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury …
— Amendment V, United States Constitution
Two hundred and fifty years since the nation’s founding, and almost as many since the adoption of the Bill of Rights,
the role of the grand jury in the American criminal justice system continues to spark debate.
Recently, scrutiny of the grand jury and renewed calls to strengthen it as a bulwark…

Trust, But Verify: Three Grand Jury Reforms to Hold the Government Accountable
Steps should be taken to strengthen grand juries by giving courts and defense counsel more tools to act as a much-needed check on prosecutors.

Content warning: plants, mild spoilers for After the Deluge by Chris Carlsson

I don’t think Chris understands that native plants on San Bruno Mountain are adapted to frequent fires, and fire actually gives natives a leg up on invasives here.
Maybe not if the fire is too big due to a legacy of fire suppression and existing buildup of invasives, but why would that be the case in the novel’s utopian future?

The office was abuzz with talk of the fire… Kathy started the meeting. "Okay, we have our normal staff meeting, but obviously everyone is thinking about the big fire on San Bruno Mountain. Is there anyone here who needs a basic report?" Everyone shook their head, including Eric even though he actually would have liked one. It was too embarrassing to be the one person who didn't know what was happening, so he went along. "The last report I got said the fire was almost completely contained. No…

Question: Any ideas for what I use instead of a shoe to represent my human character?
For my tabletop game prototype (which is an adaptation of my digital game in dev), I have a shoe to represent the human figure. Its a game about bugs working together to stop the human destroying the backyard. I want to give the sense of size disparity and the clomping nature of the human stepping on them.
I've just found out there is a superstition around shoes on tables: it's bad luck.…

Who’s afraid of the big, bad GPU?
AI data centers are increasingly sparking backlash, but we don’t have a good way to talk about the many other uses of GPUs.

Fråga från en kille med små kunskaper i nationalekonomi. Många pratar om AI och AGI som existensiella hot. Men å andra sidan talas om AI som en bubbla. Hur skulle vi märka av om en sådan bubbla brister? Fastighetsbubblan gav oss dyrare boende och högre ränta, vad skulle hända om AI aldrig riktigt tar sig och spricker?

Working an unusual pattern of days this week and I can't decide if I like it. On the one hand I'm not knackered but on the other I don't get my usual block of four days off when I put my non-archaeology head on. I'm switching between states more which isn't always easy. Anyway, it means more chores get done during the week as I have the beans. Sparky is very confused but that's not unusual, love him. Tails takes it all in her stride as usual.

Photo of a 1970s horizontal slatted stairwell with two cats. Sparky is sticking his head through the bottom rung, Tails is lying on the half landing looking up. We haven't had a shootout, it's polyfilla ready for repainting at the weekend.
