LLMs in Coding and their Impact on the Commercial Software Engineering Landscape
Large-language-model coding tools are now mainstream in software engineering. But as these same tools move human effort up the development stack, they present fresh dangers: 10% of real prompts leak private data, 42% of generated snippets hide security flaws, and the models can even ``agree'' with wrong ideas, a trait called sycophancy. We argue that firms must tag and review every AI-generated line of code, keep prompts and outputs inside private or on-premises deployments, obey emerging safet…

Dzisiejsi programiści: "zgoda? po co nam zgoda, po prostu nadpiszemy ci wszystkie menadżery paczek Pythona — naszą paczką. Co może pójść nie tak?!"
A dowcip w tym taki, że ja nawet tego tak naprawdę nie zainstalowałem — tylko robiłem przypadkowe poprawki, i uruchomiłem testy w venvie.

#ndwgoecountdown Jupiter: Gasriese im Sonnensystem
Jupiter ist der größte Planet im Sonnensystem; seine Wolkenwirbel und -bänder geben uns Rätsel auf. Unter Eisschichten verbergen seine Monde Europa und Ganymed Ozeane, in denen sich Leben entwickelt haben könnte. Das MPS stellt Weltrauminstrumente vor, die an Bord der Raumsonde JUICE auf dem Weg zum Jupiter sind. Mit Wolkenwir…

Prompt-Hacking: Apple-Intelligence-Schreibwerkzeuge zum Chatbot machen
Apple hat es gezielt unterlassen, Apple Intelligence mit eigenem Chatbot auszurüsten – nur ChatGPT ist aktivierbar. Mittels Writing Tools geht es aber dennoch.

I have my share of issues with Parkrose Permaculture, but she has a lot of things I do strongly agree with. I can't stress enough that you never dehumanize your enemies. You can respond appropriately to violence. You can defend yourself from them by any means necessary. But you do not dehumanize them. You always limit your response to the minimum necessary to defend yourself.
There are a number of former Nazi skins who became antifascists after realizing they were wrong. Those folks tend to be some of the most dedicated because they feel a debt, and some of the most knowledgeable because they were there. Coming out of these types of cults, police included, is hard and takes time. A lot of us don't have the ability to work with them. But some do.
By repeatedly humanizing your opponent, you can break some of them. The #Seattle Police Department was not defunded but saw a massive reduction in numbers because their morale was destroyed. Some people will never change. Some people are broken and feel like they need the power. But if you change one person's mind, even give them something to think about, it's a crack. If even one cop quits, that's one less trained gun pointed at you in the future.
The 18 year old marines and federalized national guard troops out there are literally kids. A lot of them came from poor communities. They are being used in a way they haven't been trained to do, doing things they (should) have been told are not legal. They joined to get out of poverty, to go to college, or to "defend the American people" (regardless of how misguided that is). Few, if any, of them joined to abuse people. They will be especially open to persuasion.
Remind those troops that they are carrying out illegal orders, that they are being called on to violate their oath to protect the constitution, that they are suppressing the free speech of the fellow Americans they swore to defend. Remind them that the people they could be illegally arresting now are just like their parents, their neighbors, their families, the friends who didn't join. Remind them that this is the first step. They will be called on to kill Americans if they let this keep going.
Remind them ICE sleeps in hotels while they sleep on the ground. Remind them that their drunk and incompetent leadership thinks of them as disposable tools. Remind them that some of these people are out protesting *for them* against cuts to the VA and other services. Remind them that the people they're defending refuse to make college free so they can recruit from poor schools. Remind them that they will always be welcome when they're ready to join the side of freedom and justice.
When you dehumanize your enemies, you unify them. When you humanize your enemies, you can divide them. There is no weapon available to us right now so powerful as compassion.

ECFA Higgs, electroweak, and top Factory Study
The ECFA Higgs, electroweak, and top Factory Study ran between 2021 and 2025 as a broad effort across the experimental and theoretical particle physics communities, bringing together participants from many different proposed future collider projects. Activities across three main working groups advanced the joint development of tools and analysis techniques, fostered new considerations of detector design and optimisation, and led to a new set of studies resulting in improved projected sensitivit…
