Interesting angle: Compiler errors brings back math teacher trauma. I noticed Rust tries to be a bit more helpful, explaining the error and even trying to suggest improvements. Per…

It would be interesting to experiment with providing people only with a sundial. :)))))

Where I work, we have company-wide breaks between 10.00-10.15, 12.00-13.00 and 15.00-15.15. These cannot easily be enforced with external parties, but running an internal meeting o…

This is great news! Who would have expected Cloudflare to truly contribute to EU digital sovereignty. On a more serious note, I'm surprised Cloudflare wants to pull out of Italy. B…

Whether the claims are true or not, this was a very entertaining BGP refresher. It made me wonder: 15+ years ago, I was network engineer and we used quite a bit of "BGP community m…

Well said! I used to administer both FreeBSD and Linux (Debian) servers at the same time. I found them different, but couldn't say either was better or worse.

How about trying out legal solutions against browser fingerprinting? The European Data Protection Board -- i.e., the union of "GDPR Police" in each EU Member State -- made it clear…

Can I also get the analogous code for an AI customer navigating the AI customer service to get to a human customer service?

"He gets what he wants done, compromising on timing." is a really good summary!

That's what I love most about using ChatGPT vs Google for finding information: less bloat, just what I asked for.

This is really scary. It could have totally happened to me too. How can we design security which works even when people are tired or stressed? Once upon a time, I used a software c…

These judges are going to be in serious trouble once AI turns against us. #AIRights

I work as a Data Protection Officer, which is a legal role under GDPR, and am rather unimpressed by GPC. I could whine for a day, but among the most problematic issues: It's not cl…

There is something about the "moving humans" part in the article that doesn't hold water. From what I noticed, dentists use fingers 4 and 5 to track the movement of the head or jaw…

I guess the dentist will simply push a few buttons, while a cheaper dental hygienist will do the comforting.

Sjunet also uses public IP, but never exposes those on the Internet. No clue why, probably it turned out to be the easiest solution to avoiding collision with private ranges used a…

My understanding is that the members need to sign a contract to join Sjunet. I'm not sure of penalties, but being kicked out of Sjunet is likely an incentive for decent IT staffing…

I wonder how long until someone will simply smoosh a billion songs into a "large song model" and make all signal processing knowledge irrelevant.

In Sweden, there is a private network (Sjunet) which is isolated from the Internet. It is used by healthcare providers. Its purpose is to make computers valuable communication devi…

I always understood "user" in "userspace" as "the user of the operating system kernel".

The EU DORA regulation (Digital Operational Resilience Act for Financial Entities) has explicit provisions to avoid concentration risks. I heard a story that a bank was forced to u…

It sounds to me near-impossible to convert C or C++ into as-safe-as-possible Rust code, because the original intention of the developer are missing. However, I wonder if some cleve…
