IT-Security-Experten sichern Firmen vor Angriffen, entsprechend hoch ist ihre Verantwortung. Dafür zahlen Firmen hohe Gehälter.

The iOS #calculator meme that’s going around where “50 50×2=” yields 150 and not 200, is a great example of *hidden states* in UX design.
Low-cost desktop calculators perform (most) operations strictly left-to-right: press any operator button ( -×÷), and the display is updated to show the result of the calculation so far, and *that* result becomes an operand for the operation. There is no o…

Google expands Search Generative Experience to the UK, after launching it almost a year ago in the US, starting with some logged-in users (Chris Vallance/BBC)

Google using AI to come up with search answers in UK trial
Some users will get AI-generated 'overviews' in their Google search results when they ask questions.

"Let us look at the problem from the other side: what do mathematicians say about Computer Science? A lot, as it turns out; take for example the massive “Princeton Companion to Mathematics” edited by Timothy Gowers, June Barrow-Green, and Imre Leader. On page 106 we can find a dissertation about algorithms by Jean-Luc Chabert; on page 575, another about computational complexity by Oded Goldreich and Avi Wigderson."

In Praise Of Mathematics
How much math knowledge does a programmer need to know to fulfill their job? How deep should the mathematical knowledge of full-stack engineers, computer security experts, or large language model engineers be? The spectrum of possible answers to these questions is too large to be useful. Perhaps the eternal answer "it depends" is enough?

The user shares their experience of bombing their final interview with a company after two successful rounds. Despite no expectation of technical questions, they froze when asked, only remembering the answers post-interview.

Multifunctorial Equivariant Algebraic K-Theory
A central question in equivariant algebraic K-theory asks whether there exists an equivariant K-theory machine from genuine symmetric monoidal G-categories to orthogonal G-spectra that preserves equivariant algebraic structures. We answer this question positively by constructing an enriched multifunctor K from the G-categorically enriched multicategory of O-pseudoalgebras to the symmetric monoidal category of orthogonal G-spectra, for a compact Lie group G and a 1-connected pseudo-commutative G…

How significant is Russia’s apparent interception of military talks on Ukraine?
The main benefit to Moscow is to try to publicly exploit the leaks against the German chancellor, who will nevertheless continue to come under western and Ukrainian pressure to donate the Taurus missiles, not least because in the leaked call the German experts say they believe 10-20 might be able to blow up the Kerch Bridge.
“The UK was the first country to provide long-range precision strike missile…

Personal, dreams, sad
I don't know if I am capable of dreaming anymore. What are dreams, anyway? How are they different from desires, aspirations and efforts?
But I can consider what I could dream of.
I could dream of not being angry all the time. Of not being filled with hatred.
I could dream of feeling secure. Of not worrying all the time about food and shelter. Of losing health insurance and access to medicine.
I could dream of having someone to rely on, of someone who'd take care of me and the things I can't handle. Of not feeling guilty of not meeting the expectations of others and my own, all the time.
I could dream of being able to experience all that stuff that I read about in books and see in movies. Of it not being too late for me anymore.
