So happy to be partnering with Numeric for our upcoming Localhost! The world is hurtling toward a crisis: karaoke is getting too easy. Our only hope? Jamie Brew and his Weird Algorithm, a state-of-the-art system for making karaoke harder by changing a song’s words but keeping its melody. Come learn how Jamie hopes to prevent the Karaokalypse at Localhost on March 25th. Hosted at Numeric's Flatiron Headquarters, we’ll have food, drink, technical deep dives, and maybe even a sing-a-long 🎵 https://lu.ma/2d437ret

Our first Localhost of 2025 will be on January 28th! Localhost is a series of technical talks in NYC given by members of the RC community. Unlike most RC events, Localhost is open to public RSVPs. January 28, 2025: One Million Checkboxes and making internet strangers play nice with Nolen Royalty One Million Checkboxes (OMCB) was a website with...a million checkboxes on it. But the checkboxes were global - checking a box checked it for everyone in the world, immediately. In the two weeks that the site was live, over half a million players checked over 650 million boxes. Keeping the site online was a challenge, and Nolen will cover how he managed it. But the site also had social challenges - some people like to be jerks on the internet! Nolen has built several online social experiments - from a site that lets you hold eye contact with a stranger to rock paper scissors played over the phone. He'll discuss how he tries to constrain those interactions to bring out the best in people, and how those constraints lead to his favorite stories. Snacks and refreshments will be available at 6:30 pm. Nolen’s talk will begin at 7:00 pm with a subsequent Q&A session. More snacks and refreshments to follow. RSVP Here: https://lu.ma/re1bot0d

Congrats on following your curiosity and dreams, Dave! We’re excited to see you do ambitious technical work and push the boundaries of what’s possible. Never graduate!
A lot of people associate space with their childhood - at K2 Space Corporation we hope to help make those childhood dreams a reality. We're excited to introduce the next member of our team, David Albert, our Senior Software Engineer, who comes to us from Recurse Center. Tell us about yourself Dave I've always loved computers. In 4th grade, my teacher Ms. Fernandez organized a "20 year reunion" where everyone came in pretending to be our future selves. Unsurprisingly, I was a programmer. I studied computer engineering in college and shortly afterwards cofounded the Recurse Center, which I helped run for 13 years. I left a year ago to get back to technical work. I can't think of a cooler job than writing software that runs in space. Away from the keyboard, I spend most of my time hanging out with my wife and our dog Max. The three of us watch a lot of basketball, though Max spends most of that time looking at us instead of the TV – our cheering makes him nervous. I've become very attached to our morning dog walks, where Max sniffs at trash bags, and I take photos of fun cars. What was your first memory of space? There are too many to know for sure. As a kid I watched Apollo 13 and The Right Stuff more times than I can count, and can still rattle off choice lines from each. I spent a ton of time at the Hayden Planetarium watching star shows and IMAX movies. I thought Sally Ride was particularly cool. I was obsessed with Star Wars, flight simulators, fighter jets, model rockets, Lego space sets, and have many fond memories of visiting the USS Intrepid. For the past 15 years, I've named my computers after the Galilean moons. My latest is Io, but my favorite is Ganymede. What space application are you most excited for moving forward? I want to go to space! Even 10 minutes of weightlessness would be amazing. Beyond that, it's the science that gets me excited. Exploring new worlds, searching for signs of life on Mars, learning about Europa's oceans, seeing new pictures of the planets and distant galaxies. There's so much more for us to learn.

What an amazing evening! Greg Sadetsky gave an amazing Localhost presentation on disco, a passion project he and a friend have been working on for over a year. Was it a technical talk or performance art? Watch if for yourself and decide: https://lnkd.in/eMShTWjU

Hi all, we're happy to announce that The Recurse Center is hosting an AI safety workshop in collaboration with alum Changlin Li's AI Safety Awareness Foundation. RSVP HERE: https://lu.ma/6royzxb8 This is your chance to learn deeply about AI. We’ll begin with an introduction to the state of AI today, probable developments on the horizon, and safety issues that said developments may cause. Then, we will split participants by background and interest into two technical tracks. One track will analyze a malicious AI agent, the other track will take on mechanistic interpretability! We hope to see you there 😁
