Happy Sunday, and I hope your Sunday is going better than mine. One of my kids just went to use the dryer and sparks flew. I don't mean metaphorically. Nothing like the thought of replacing another major appliance to brighten up your day, amiright?!?!

Find Your (Tech) Community

First up is a new endeavour by Brian Rinaldi to help fill the gap left behind by Meetup.com (which is still a thing just not a good thing lately) and the lack of smaller and more affordable community conferences. DevRel(ish) is a community site supporting tech groups of all sizes and nature who need help organizing IRL meetups. According to the launch announcement, this is not meant to be a replacement for larger event apps, but hopefully something more suitable for smaller groups.

Blame the Ox

Ok, this isn't tech related at all, but, "The Ox That's Breaking Your Fantasy Map" is one of the most fascinating videos I've seen in a while. And yes, it is about oxen - and fantasy maps. Even if you don't like fantasy (or oxen), it's an great watch and reminder of just how the economy affects organization and government.

AI and Goblins

Last up is a good look into why goblins started appearing in OpenAI models. The post details how initial reports of the behavior led to investigations that ultimately led to the smoking goblingun.

Just For Fun

Speaking of fantasy, I recently remembered that my young kids still have yet to set the Never Ending Story. One of them really loves horses too. This is going to be great!
