So genAi ads can now be A/B tested by autonomous systems, to be shown on an social network for agents to be appreciated by ai agents. On one hand, yay automatization, on the other hand, I feel weirdly left out.

Kinda like learning bash. The most annoying time was when I figured out how to send myself SMS via bash script.

From the public comments over the last few days, my guess is they want a militarized version of Claude. Starting with a box they want to put in the basement of the Pentagon where Antropic can't just switch off the ai. Then some guardra

Probably. In previous years there were streamdumps available immediately somewhere (though figuring out where took me usually a day or so) and a re-live version on media.ccc.de a bit later. (Usually hours, but from time to time a day or so.

Pretty cool, or more probable hot. Though I highly doubt it is something resembling a planet up close, it is more likely some kind of remnant from forming the neutron star that just happened to have the right size and ended up in the right

Maemo was an actual GNU/Linux, not just kernel with custom userland. Logging into a cluster from my N900 and having plots just appear on screen thanks to X network transparency is still one of the most futuristic things I have ever see

Pretty sure bullshitting is pretty universal. In particular the pattern were I, the mighty expert, insist that only I, the mighty expert, can decode the meaning of those deceptive others, and therefore you, the gullible rube, has to give me

Sounds really like a development environment problem, I mean if you can't handle that your language suddenly changes it's name in a not backward compatible fashion, how do you ever stand a chance to handle leap seconds correctly?

The Windows 98 license actually did forbid using Windows in nuclear power plants (along with other high risk areas). That was due to some interaction with the Java license and I always considered it a very fortunate fluke.

I would. The original sin of Unicode is really their manifold idea, at that point they stopped trying to write a string standard and started to become a kinda general description of how string standards should look like and hopefully string

There are two scenarios I believe, first accidentally sending a (decent) password, and second the server not learning what you actually look up. For the first case, sending a hash would prevent the server from learning a password that is no

On the other hand you have the selection effect that someone only writes if there is a nice Fibonacci sequence somewhere in the top 30 or so leagues. So I agree, the distribution favors probably power laws with (1+ 2/3)^n but that it h
