    If only we had a cheap & reliable way of making pollution-free electricity on tiny amounts of land, solving climate change while lifting everyone out of poverty would be so much easier... I know, I know — I'm a dreamer

    My son has parked his bike by this lamppost just about every day for the last year. This morning, this sticker had appeared. Absolutely made our day. People can be so brilliant. Thank you, whoever did it 😊

    First 1e6 integers, represented as binary vectors indicating their prime factors, and laid out using the sparse matrix support in 's UMAP dimensionality reduction algorithm. This is from a 1000000x78628 (!) binary matrix. Very pretty structure emerges.

    Pro-tip for open space session facilitators tomorrow: have a both a topic and a set of questions to discuss. Start with intros and the topic context, then ask your first question to drive conversation. When the conversation gets stale, ask your next question. Rinse and repeat

    Pitching a session on Saturday? A few things to note: we have experienced facilitators to help you prepare or run a session, all rooms have projectors (HDMI, VGA) and most whiteboards, it helps to nominate a note-taker (whiteboard) and someone to track speaking order / airtime.
