SudoRoom hardware hack night theme for 8/29 - Audio hardware hacking!

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2023-08-29/ Just for fun I added a theme for the August 29 hardware hacking night. I realized that people feel pressure to aleady have a completed hardware project when coming to the space - I decided it'd be cool to have starting off points for exploring specific areas. So I will bring worksheets like "how to design your own hardware hack!" and we can even do stuff like explore the history of the DJ and audio equipment you have! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

New 7/1 women & non binary night theme - Coding with AI tools & the social impacts!

by Romy Ilano

we have a new theme for our monday event. https://sudoroom.org/upcoming-nonbinary-night-using-ai-tools-social-impacts… For this session we’ll have a short presentation and demo of using AI to do live coding. - Is coding with an AI agent “cheating” and will it make you a weaker programmer or - Is it like pair programming with a cool senior or dumb junior dev that makes you a better engineer? - What are the pitfalls? How would people catch bugs? Is the AI version the proper solution when there are so many different ways to tackle the problem? - How much will this be used in everyday life in the future? It’d also be cool to see people who never code use some of these tools to make code. *Impact on women and nonbinary folks* Before the advent of digital processes in graphic design in the 1970s design was very much a “man’s” world and very macho. (See the film Making Graphics <https://computerhistory.org/blog/making-graphic-means-an-interview-with-des…>) Automation and digital processes enabled many women enter the field, creating a ton of pink collar design and graphics jobs. Often women were selected because they were cheaper, and it created a huge cultural shift, though men retained the prize higher level jobs. With the advent of AI agents will more women enter the space in pink collar jobs or will they be able to be a greater part of the product design process? If all goes well maybe we can make a quickie group project and put it up on our sudoroom GitHub! we also had a nice discussion the other night. Like women coding events always seem to be around either: * parenting topics * career trajectories and career counseling we'd like to explore more stuff around doing things creatively in a safe space! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Update on Wednesday's party

by Andrew R Gross

Hey Sudoers, First, if you haven't already, please answer the three question *July Member Survey* <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScfBIFiym1lzDB4J0tGRqTXylMCJj-6_-z…> . Second: does anyone know how to turn on JacksMill <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/JacksMill>? It is surprisingly difficult to turn on. The good news is that we've got a sick whiteboard now! I didn't bring in any markers yet, but will next week. If you've got any, go try it out and collaborate on some shit! Last thing: I want a Sudo Room shirt. Do we have any shirt designs floating around? And does anyone want to go in on an order? Cheers! *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

need better links to "login" to sudo-humans

by Jake

i've been tripped up this myself!!! People don't know where to go to log into sudo humans (our monthly dontaions portal) and we don't make it easy! when people go to https://sudoroom.org there is a "login" button but it takes people to the wordpress login! they're trying to login to that with their Sudo Humans credentials and getting nowhere. And we need the money! so can we change that login button to a disambiguation that makes sure that people know where they're logging into? to remind everyone, the proper link for sudo humans is this: https://sudoroom.org/humans -jake
