San Francisco’s mayor-elect, Daniel Lurie, has tapped OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to help run his transition team, the campaign announced on Monday, as part of the administration’s effort to embrace the tech industry. Altman, alongside nine other San Francisco leaders, will provide guidance to Lurie’s team on ways the city can innovate. Lurie, an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, has never held elected office.

Smartphone producers are racing ahead with better AI features, yet they can't produce a smartphone in 2024 that can last at least 10 hours with the display on. I feel that development should focus more in this direction.

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke is calling for the end of Canada’s public postal service because its workers have gone on strike.
The company’s leaders are increasingly pushing extreme right-wing positions in Canada. Gutting Canada Post would effectively end delivery in many rural and remote communities because it’s not profitable for private companies to serve them.

So I just discovered a Flatpak app called "Mission Center" that seems to be a really cool system monitor application that has several features not present in the default system monitors for many desktop environments. It shows temperatures, clock speeds, etc. In terms of aesthetic, it kinda looks like Windows task manager, but with more bells and whistles. It even has buttons to start, stop and restart running systemd services.

We're helping important organisations move away from Big Tech platforms and towards open New Social platforms - like Mastodon!
But, we can't do it alone. We'd love to hear which organisations you think should make the move and why, so we can show them that there is a community waiting here for them.
Better yet, if you have a connection to an important organisation, we'd love to be introduced!

Weird time to throw this out there, but I’m still looking for work! #getFediHired #getFediGigs #lookingForWork #tech
Contract or permanent, part time or full time, doesn’t matter! I’ve learned a lot of Rust recently and am proficient in C++, C, Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, Linux, Cloud stuff, HPC, chemistry, simulations, MPI and scaling! Mostly backend but I can, and have, done full stack work on React!
What I’m mostly looking to do is help build software that helps people, so I’m NOT interested in “AI”, defense, finance, oil+gas, startups, or anything of that sort. If you know of open positions or even if you’re looking for someone to help on a project, let’s chat! I make a mean fucking #jupyterNotebook, too.
I am also totally available to tutor chemistry, too.
Boosts welcome and appreciated!
