Steve Mann @hydraulist coined “sousveillance”—watching from below—because power behaves differently when people can document what happens. The killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good show it matters. Read Mann’s original paper on sousveillance (2003): ojs.library.queensu.ca/index.php/surv…

@mysteriouskat @elonmusk can Optimus build me a homestead and help me live a more simple life? A narrowing or condensation of technology for sustainability?

🌱🤖 Introducing TERD FIRE: An Approach to Sustainable Retirement 🌟 Hey everyone! You've heard of FIRE, Barista FIRE, Coast FIRE.. I am pleased to introduce TERD FIRE - Tech-Enhanced Resource-Dependent Financial Independence, Retire Early. Imagine a life where technology meets sustainability, where we're not just surviving but thriving in harmony with nature. Picture a Tesla Optimus robot, not just a symbol of advanced tech, but a partner in building and farming a self-sustaining homestead. This is the essence of TERD FIRE. This movement is more than just financial independence; it's about creating a lifestyle that embraces sustainability, permaculture, bushcraft, and prepping/survivalism. It's for those who believe in a future that respects our planet while leveraging technology for a better life. We're talking about a life where you're not just living off the land, but with the land, sparingly using technology to enhance and not harm our natural world. It's about being prepared, self-sufficient, and resilient in a post-growth economic world. I'm on a journey to navigate these big challenges and find ways to make this vision a reality. And I want you to join me! Let's explore how we can use modest means to build a life that's not only financially independent but also ecologically responsible and technologically advanced. 🌿 Follow me for more conversations and ideas on how we can shape a sustainable, tech-enhanced future together. Let's embark on this exciting journey towards TERD FIRE! I might change the name, but let's start the conversation. #TERDFIRE #SustainableLiving #TechMeetsNature #FinancialIndependence #EcoTechFuture

@_JamesGilboy @beelah I think what's missing for me, as a consumer, is a lack of options that would truly push against the inevitable ratcheting effects of Jevon's paradox - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_pa…

EVs dominate talks of decarbonizing cars, but they're not the best way for us to cut CO2 emissions fast. instead, we need a solution that's been staring us in the face for 25 years thedrive.com/features/toyot…

One of my side projects using @RocksetCloud was featured on their blog. Rockset is really slick! You just send it your JSON and its immediately queryable via SQL. You don't have to define a schema or create indexes. It just does it all for you.

I wrote a custom covariance function in #rstats, but I didn't want to name it "cov" because that would mask stats::cov(). So I named it... cov_fefe And I laughed. 😂
