I co-started a “hacker house” which is currently mostly women (11/14).
We don’t host parties, but we do host fun events like slideshow karaoke and movie nights.
We’re hosting a hackathon next weekend!
hey young men in tech
please
please
please
stop building, running, and promoting hacker houses
they are unsafe for women, even w “precautions”, bc of the gender imbalance in tech
every house out there ends up 5-20% women which is just too low for a living situation

A few minutes after tweeting I moved to Miami, I got a calendar invite for the HF0 Hack Night. Two hours later (after visiting the gun museum), I was there. Everyone I met was working on something - something that was in their dreams, and inspired mine.

What a hackathon! We had an eight-way tie for the 8th finalist place, over $40k in prizes, and 100+ hackers using AI for Good in the best venue in the world.
🏆 The "AI for Good" hackathon winners have been announced!
Incredible projects were developed over the weekend — from AI-powered therapists to fighting robocalls — all tackling real-world issues.
Congrats to the winners who took home over $40k in prizes!

tl;dr: in the last decade, the average top songs got faster, shorter, louder, less acoustic and more danceable, more speechy, but less live, less, but mostly major, a little bit sad, and a lot more popular.
I always wanted to know how Spotify wrapped defined my tastes, so I took a deep dive into Spotify data from top songs in the last century.

I’ve started a hacker house in Cambridge, MA to help provide a safety net next to some of the most structured institutions in the world (Harvard and MIT).
Our next cohort is half women and our sister program is mostly women.
The thing about being active in the hacker house scene is you are accidentally signing up for a career as a shadow politician in the Silicon Valley startup scene. This process is insidious because you’re initially just signing up for a place to live and a nice community. But

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but modern healthcare sucks.
I tried having a virtual doctor's appointment for the first time. The call failed multiple times, and the doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong.
The cost? $332 for ~30 minutes. That's >$600/hour.

The Father of Computer Science, Alan Turing, was found with a bitten apple next to him. The theory is that Turing laced cyanide in the Apple after forced hormone therapy. Maybe Jobs wanted us to carry the symbol of the sin and sacrifice that comes with the fruit of knowledge.
kinda trippy how Adam and Eve ate the apple, the forbidden fruit, before the fall of mankind
