Heute ist der richtige Tag für dieses Meme.

@felwert @NearerAndFarther In fact, I read a post here from a professor a while ago who accepts AI reports, but only if the students include their prompts. He then promptly ignores the report and rates the prompt.

Super excited about the amateur autopsy club I just joined. Tuesday is open mike night!

@errant I think it's a joke, and I love it. But not as a reminder.

remember, if you solved a paradox, no you didn't

@joe unless you forget about it later.

An incomplete list of things that make computer programmers obsolete:

- COBOL
- SQL
- BASIC
- Smalltalk
- HyperCard
- VisiCalc
- Visual Basic
- Fourth-generation languages
- No-code platforms
- LLMs

@Viss It doesn't sound like a threat to cryptography, and they also don't mention that in the article. 1000x or more faster transistors are huge for traditional computing, but everything you compute still follows the same constraints of computational complexity.
It's not a bad thing: Practical applications are much easier for this tech.

okay NOW you can start worrying about quantum computers messing with cryptography.

also, im ready for the bottom to fall out of all these massive orgs hosting llms, because with this kind of hardware leap forward, you wont need datacenters that boil the oceans to get gpt4.5 levels of performance anymore

New Caledonia has enacted a sweeping 50-year ban on all commercial seabed mining across its entire 1.3 million km² maritime zone. The French Pacific territory, home to nearly one-third of the world's remaining pristine coral reefs, says it is prioritising environmental protection over economic extraction, allowing only non-invasive scientific research.

@Axomamma Only a small part of the Kursk region is occupied, not this city (Zheleznogorsk). I agree that there's some exaggeration here regarding Putin, but if you block for that, many news outlets would qualify for a block as well.

🇪🇺👩‍🔬 Bring your research where it’s valued — and funded.

A snapshot of over 60 regional, national, and EU-wide funding opportunities is now available in a one-stop shop, to help researchers thrive in Europe.

Billions of euro in funding are on the table for researchers and innovators, by the EU and the 27 EU countries.

Europe is a top destination for researchers and innovators. And we’re aiming higher than ever.

Choose Science, Choose Europe.

Watching Microsoft’s robots telling Microsoft’s other robots that they need to agree to Microsoft CLAs in between Microsoft’s developers begging Microsoft’s robots to actually understand the problems they’re trying to fix in Microsoft's platform code on Microsoft's version-control website is kind of amazing.

This is definitely the future Terry Gilliam promised us.

@malwareminigun @waldi @securingdev 90%? Do you have sources for that!? ;-)

@sixtus "Im allerschlechtesten Fall kaum besser" ist trotzdem noch ganz gut.

We're ready for Microsoft Recall and the automatic screenshots it takes of everything on your desktop.

Signal Desktop on Windows now includes support for a new "Screen security" feature designed to block screenshots of your Signal chats.

Programmers are usually fed a steady diet of features and bug fixes. But occasionally they get to work on performance problems. This development methodology is known as intermittent fasting.

🚨 *Attention!* We were made aware of a fake “KeePassXC Password Manager Pro” repository on GitHub that links to unverified external binary downloads.
- There is NO Pro version of KeePassXC!
- You get all the “Pro” features with the regular version.
Please download KeePassXC only from trusted distribution channels linked on https://keepassxc.org/ !

@Sknashville @geerlingguy "in general" sounds odd, if followed by a long list of cases where it isn't. Maybe "as a technology"?
