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!

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!

Hi Friends at Sudo Room
Calling all groups in the Valley to host a FREE booth and strutting your stuff to 10,000+ enthusiastic young people and families...
FREE BOOTH SPACE APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN for the Saturday Sept 23
For San Jose Reid Hillview Airport Community Day
After a few years of COVID-era chilling etc, the Silicon Valley STEAM Fest crew is baaaaacccckkkk.... And we're helping build the next STEAM Fest & Aviation Faire at San Jose Reid Hillview Airport Community Day Saturday September 23, 2023!!!!
Where: San Jose Reid Hillview Airport
2500 Cunningham Ave, San Jose
When: Saturday September 23, 2023, 10am-3pm.
Our target is to attract at least 10,000 attendees. So we expect big crowds.
Got cool stuff to show off? Fancy science-y stuff, aircraft, fire trucks, hands-on science stuff, robots, RC airplanes, community resources of any kind, education stuff, recreation stuff, sports stuff, you name it, bring it on!
** Example: Got Science Technology Engineering Arts Math S.T.E.A.M? Or History too? OR anything educational and cool? Bring on the educational stuff
** Example: Got Robots? We are building a 'Robot Zoo' with a bunch of robotics-ed stuff. Bring on the bots!
** Example: Got Emergency Vehicles? We are building a 'Disaster Alley' featuring fire trucks, police, military, etc. Got emergency hardware? Or CPR classes or emergency prep or disaster response? Bring it on!
** Example: Got Community Service Booths? Boy Scout or Girl Scout or 4H etc recruiting, Rotary/Interact, Kiwanis/Key-Club, Boys & Girls Clubs, At Risk Youth programs, Volunteer Activities, Enviro/Eco groups, you name it? If it serves the community, this is a great crowd for outreach.
** Example: Got Education or Career or Military Service etc? We are spotlighting educational and career opportunities for local youth. Are you a recruiter for a college, trade school, armed forces, whatever? Apply for a booth and we'll get you in front of a bunch of potential students/recruits/etc
** Example: Got Airplanes? Well it is an airport after all, so if you have cool aircraft to display, let us know. And yes, we are working on high tech self-driving air taxies etc. What would be better at an Aviation/STEAM fest than demos of self-driving air taxis!?!?
Apply online asap and we'll try to fit you in:
https://www.friendsofrhv.org
Spread the word to people with other cool stuff to show off. The more cool exhibitors, the merrier!
We hope to see you Sept 23 at San Jose Reid Hillview Airport.
In the meantime have a great rest-of-the-summer! Stay safe and healthy!
Blue Skies!

Hey sudoers. I’m going to be in tonight at 8 setting up a cnc, hanging a
white board, and working in general facilities upgrades. If this is your
jam, please stop by and/or message me, by email or phone (412.657.5332)!
Cheers,
Andy

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

unfortunately somewhere along the lines we stopped telling people how to
actually get our attention to be let into the building.
The Jitsi telepresence link is present but we need to explain that that's how
to get our attention to be let in. Otherwise people will show up and assume
the doors will be open.
We should edit the text at this meetup so it explains that!
