Welcome to March, hacks and hackers! H/H London recently announced its goals for adopting the OpenNews speaker rider.

The rider is meant to improve diversity and inclusivity at speaking events, and you can read more about it here.

Happening this week:

• London is talking about collaboration between reporters and devs

Worth a read:

• Researchers trained a neural network called DALL-E to be able to generate images from strings of text, from generating photo-like storefronts with specific names or illustrating new concepts like a baby daikon radish in a tutu walking a dog.
• Clubhouse is a new invite-only, iPhone-exclusive social media app that runs on chatrooms with users streaming audio in real time. It’s been the focus of a lot of attention due to its interface, diversity opportunities and controversy.
• When you say something bad about cats to a cat-lover, it often makes their stance as a cat-lover stronger rather than making them consider an alternate view. This “radical dots simulator” explores that concept more broadly in a neat, data-viz-infused way.
