New Ansible Data Validation Module(s) « ipSpace.net blog
A few months ago I described how you could use JSON Schema to validate your automation data models, host/group variable files, or even Ansible inventory file. I had to use a weird toolchain to get it done – either ansible-inventory to build a complete data model from various inventory sources, or yq to convert YAML to JSON… and just for the giggles jsonschema CLI command requires the JSON input to reside in a file, so you have to use a temporary file to get the job done.

Siri (Beta) is really interesting.
On one hand, I don't have to trust any new parties with my data. Apple already has it since they have my mobile devices, so if they were going to maliciously steal (e.g.) my email contents, they could already do that. This opens the door to a whole bunch of LLM data based interrogation that I wouldn't trust with other providers.

The digital graveyard: Is Bangladesh becoming China’s e-waste back door?
As the world turns its attention to China’s increasingly stringent waste import ban, a dangerous stream of electronic waste is entering Bangladesh. Despite the enactment of the Hazardous Waste (e-waste) Management Rules 2021, weak regulatory systems and illegal trade routes are making the country a major destination for global “e-waste.” Electronic waste (e-waste), which includes […]

⚡ What triggered it: GitHub rolled out a new token format for GitHub App installation tokens: ghs__. Base64url encoding uses - chars, which Composer's 2021-era regex didn't permit. Any such token would fail validation and leak.
😱 Making it worse: GitHub Actions' secret masker failed to redact the token. Symfony Console wraps error output with ANSI sequences, bypassing masking. Popular actions like shivammathur/setup-php auto-register GITHUB_TOKEN — no special config needed …

Visibility nowcasting in South Korea: a machine learning approach to class imbalance and distribution shift
Bong Gyun Shin, Chan Sik Lee, Hyesun Suh
https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.21507 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.21507 https://arxiv.org/html/2605.21507
arXiv:2605.21507v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Atmospheric visibility is a critical variable for transportation safety and air quality management, however, accurate prediction remains challenging due to the complex interactions between meteorological conditions and air pollutants, as well as the rarity of low-visibility events. This study introduces a machine learning framework to nowcast visibility in six major South Korean cities. To handle the imbalance in the 2018-2020 training data, we applied the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique with Nominal and Continuous (SMOTENC) and Conditional Tabular Generative Adversarial Network (CTGAN). An ensemble approach combining machine learning and deep learning models was then used and evaluated on a 2021 test dataset. The results revealed a marked decline in predictive performance in the test set compared to the cross-validation phase. This degradation was attributed to a distributional shift between training and testing periods, which was quantitatively confirmed by measuring the Wasserstein distance of the most influential feature identified by SHAP analysis. In general, this study presents a methodology that aims to simultaneously address the dual challenges of data imbalance and temporal distributional shifts, and emphasizes the necessity of accounting for evolving external environmental factors when implementing nowcasting models on time-series data.
