@HackTMro#hacktmhackathon is the biggest software & hardware #hackathon in South-Eastern Europe, powered by @Banat_IT and held in Timisoara, Romania, on May 12 - 14.

Why "Hack the Capital!", since Bucharest is Romania's capital? 🇷🇴

I do feel there's something more to be said (while the iron is hot, so to speak) about #cryptocurrency and the question of how presumably intelligent #computer and #programming professionals (not to mention the @elonmusk / @mtaibbi crowd) could possibly have fallen for it.

(1/x)
the *allure* is obvious enough; it's the same allure that's in looking for legendary pirate treasure, or prospecting for gold. you're hoping for more than just some #money—you're hoping that for enough to *set you up for life*. all monetary worries, permanently erased.

(2/x)
that's one of the reason that it's so important to interrogate the #ElonMusk crowd about Musk's blood-emerald dealings, and what the *truth* was about Musk's family striking it rich—it's likely that Musk simply lost the ability thenceforth to think in realistic terms.

the last twenty or thirty years have seen a remarkable intellectual phenomenon: #computer technicians, people whose sole area of expertise is computer #programming and #software engineering and other related disciplines, have come to be regarded as "Renaissance Men".

(1/x)
the "#STEM Lord" is an artifact of this phenomenon. while "STEM" is supposed to comprise mathematics and engineering and mathematics, the typical "STEM Lord" is not well-versed in any of these things—the typical "STEM Lord" is in #computers. they are a *technician*.

(2/x)
that is to say, #computer professionals are people with *limited* educations, who are devoted solely to mastering the intricacies of a certain sort of machinery, namely the modern computer.

men like @fchollet, @JeffDean, @antoniogm, and @ID_AA_Carmack typify the class.

of *course* @sama's fake ChatGPT miracle relies upon an army of underpaid workers just out of sight! of _course_ it does! this is the work of modern #programmers, people without any known sense of ethics—and people stupid enough to believe their own lies.

the corporate #AI debacle deserves a proper dissection. the situation is appalling: people like @sama and @demishassabis make promises about their marvellous universal thinking machines that are *just shy* of outright fraud. and they program the machines with their own inanity.
that's the real problem here: @sama and @fchollet and all the other computer technicians who make grandiose promises and proclamations about #AI and "intelligence" are, to put the matter bluntly, completely incompetent at judging *anyone's* intellect, least of all their own.

A lot of #programmers are intimidated by powerful, expert tools, like #emacs.

But not everyone has the same experience! I've talked to a lot of programmers who think Emacs is a difficult tool to learn.

It's not.
It's a deep tool. There's a lot in it, but you don't have to learn it all at once!

Heck, you don't ever need to learn all of it.

If you can send an email, you can use Emacs.
For the past six years, I've been a co-organizer of Emacs NYC (emacsnyc.org). I gave a talk at EmacsConf 2020. I maintain a few Emacs packages.

I definitely enjoy both Emacs and its community.

Here's what you should do in your first five minutes with Emacs.

#Programmers on Twitter often unintentionally create a false image of what it means to be a professional developer.
1. You don't have to tweet all day every day about programming related things to be a good programmer.
2. You don't have to be the creator of some amazing library/framework/podcast/blog to be a good programmer.

#Responsibility of #programmers for their #algorithms
😇Shooting stars: from expert advisor to #spoofing criminal
👉Spoofing #algo coder partially acquitted
🤦‍♂️CFTC and FBI fail with indictment of the programmer who developed the algo at the heart of the infamous 2010 #FlashCrash
😇Jitesh Thakkar, the founder and president of Edge Financial Technologies, one of the leading firms for #software development for #algorithmic and #highfrequencytrading #hft, was acquitted on April 9th, 2019 of the count of #conspiracy to commit spoofing.
⚠️Thakkar’s case is the first in the US where a programmer is prosecuted for his involvement in the development of a manipulative algorithm and shows regulators’ willingness to prosecute programmers in addition to the users of such algorithms.
