You have it backwards - we don’t find a cool project we want to contribute to and then try to learn the technology needed. Instead, we already know the language/tech/tool from our work or education and then seek cool projects to contribute to that use that language/tech/tool.
As a beginner you can’t expect to rock up to a github project and be productive or even understand what is going on. Usually open source projects are not extensively documented and no one will have time to show you around. That is no way to learn.
No one can be productive in more than a handful of languages/tools. Once you have more experience you will become specialised in certain languages and can seek projects that use those languages.
For now, try to find a situation where there are people around who will invest time in helping you to build your skills. A supportive employer, or tertiary education.
My guess is specialized hardware. Similar to how mining crypto moved from CPU -> GPU -> ASIC, we’ll see LLM hardware that optimizes the currently-cpu-intensive pieces.

Egypt already has 12 million homeless people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_homeless_population
1.2 out of 10 people in Egypt is homeless.
Jordan, with a population of 11 million people, already has 2.1 million Palestinian refugees and 1.4 million Syrian refugees.
Those countries are in no position to help.
Look elsewhere for solutions.
By all means, put some effort in. Please.

Nuclear reactor meltdown was high on my list.
Wtf. Even the govt didn’t know what would happen!
Yup. I was at a concert in the final minutes of the century. A fuse blew just after midnight so all the lights went out which was a tense moment but life went on.
You could use it as part of your infrastructure. E.g. DNS server, database server, redis server, file server. But running the whole stack will be too much unless you upgrade the RAM. 1 GB minimum, preferably 2.
That feeling when you need a Trello board to keep track of all the prosecutions. Love it.
Maybe what is missing is not the content but the way it is structured and presented. Perhaps the article/page paradigm does not fit very well to what a political discussion is.
Perhaps some sort of visual graph of each topic, with supporting and contra-indicating evidence represented as boxes with arrows? Each piece of evidence could have sources and sub-evidence, etc. Check this out: https://debategraph.org/poster.aspx?aID=65
The big shortcoming of 32 bit hardware was that it limits the amount of RAM in the computer to 4 GB. 64 bit is not inherently faster (for most things) but it enables up to 16 exabytes of RAM, an incomprehensible amount. Going to 128 bit would only be helpful if 16 exabytes wasn’t enough.
Recently I was doing some Azure integration work, with OAuth, Teams and Outlook. At one point I noticed that logging in with a MS account causes my browser to do ~10 redirects between different services while downloading over 30 MB of Javascript and thought “Huh, this looks like decades of technical debt. Either MS devs are waaay smarter than me or this is a pile of garbage”. I guess both could be true.
For most stories it’ll show you a few different sources for it.
Wow, that is pretty nice. Thanks!
Don’t engage with them. Report and block.

Whenever another fixture of the 20th century leaves us, I spend a few minutes watching their clips, listening to their songs, reading their writing, or whatever they did. Gonna do that now.
