AI. I’m not a die-hard fan, and I’m not against it either. My feeling is that, used wisely, it can bring real benefits. For example, I use Day One for journaling. I am finding that the AI creator in there is very useful as I can talk or write to it as I go along through the day, and I miss less.

“Let’s set that aside for a moment” whenever discussing failings, impacts, and costs of LLMs is such an offensive dismissal of human harms that I am surprised to hear it from an accessibility-focused session chair at TPAC (not today; time-delayed to obfuscate person / session).

How many cases of prompt injection in legal cases are we unaware of because they succeeded?

A great deal of useful material is not presented well. Try to learn no matter how well material is presented.
"You can blame whoever was communicating the ideas to you for failing to present it as well as they should but that won’t help you learn more."
"You can train yourself to learn more than most people when the material is presented in a less than perfect manner by learning how we commonly fail to learn and making efforts to do better yourself."

Feeling a little entitled and grouchy about Nobara Linux today. It's a great distribution and a remarkable achievement from mostly one developer. But there's a sense that the update mechanism is brittle and can break systems. He launched something new last week where updates are deferred until reboot. Not ideal, but may solve some problems.
Today I'm learning the new updater may have broken Timeshift, a system snapshotting tool. And the fix may be some scary surgery from a USB rescue disk :-(
In an unrelated problem, one of the software repositories has an HTTP bug that's breaking updates.

Still in the mood for another round of patching?
After patching NGINX, PHP, and node.js it is urgent that you update your #Sylius shop immediately, following the recent security releases: https://

#FlyingLess puts you in iconic #trains, like this Polish-German InterCity. That’s a decent way to end the #EAAST conference. Including, of course,

Generative AI’s per-query footprint can be small compared to flying, eating meat, or even Zoom. Until agents show up and compute goes through the roof.
