Periodic self-repetition: moderating an online space is a job, it should be paid (in a contemporary society that uses money) and people should be hired to do it who have good social skills but do not particularly like to do it. People who do it out of a sense of duty burn out: people who like doing it become the worst horrors you can imagine.
AI is an unasked for tech looking for a problem to solve. It uses an incredible amount of energy.

Moore's Law is dead and we have reached a happy plateau. We dont need more computing power. We can do so much now. If you need something to chew on, work on making it more efficient. Make the code smaller and faster and lighter.
And less of a power draw.
Thanks to inspiration from @jtruk and @creativecodeclub_ncl I started writing my first #tic80 game. You play as a robot in an Amazon warehouse, who has the misfortune of suddenly gaining self awareness.
In an update of a prior study on #COVID19 vaccine effectiveness, new data suggests it wanes quicker than first reported. Effectiveness against infection of one booster based on time since jab:
0 - 5 weeks: 63.1%
6 - 11 weeks: 50.3%
12 - 17 weeks: 29.8%
18 - 23 weeks: 6.6%
(While protection against infection fades, there remains evidence vaccines protect against serious disease and outcomes.)

Surprise surprise.
Well, guess what, I'm still reporting this to the consumer association I belong to because I'm livid about this shit. Google, Facebook and friends must pay for this garbage. It's their job to stop fraudulent ads *before* they air, not after. If they can't we'll have to use every legal mean to make them pay for it until they stop.

Hiya! I'm a programmer looking for full-time work in the SF Bay Area (or remote!)
I'm primarily a Python programmer, but I've got significant experience in Java, C#, C++/C, Ruby, and Javascript.
I've focused a lot on Continuous Integration in recent years but I've got experience with in-house tool development, embedded software, back-end server stuff, and UI/Web/HIL test automation.
I've a lot of experience in digitization/archival work.
