Zuerst waren es KI-Tools, die zu Auftragsverlusten bei Freiberuflern sorgten. Dann wurde der Mythos der steigenden Produktivität geboren, um Entlassungen etwa im Support oder im Marketing zu rechtfertigen usw.
Jetzt wurde ein neuer Grund für Entlassungen gefunden. 🤮…

Es gibt eine neue „Masche“ für Massenentlassungen, „dank“ KI.
KI und Massenentlassungen: Werden Milliarden für Rechenzentren zum neuen Argument für Stellenabbau?

Arctic winter sea-ice extent fails to expand and sets a new record low in 2026
In 2026, the Arctic winter sea-ice extent (annual maximum extent) reached the lowest value since satellite observations began in 1979, following the previous record low in March 2025. As part of the Arctic Challenge for Sustainability III (ArCS III), the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) maintain a long-term dataset spanning more than 40 years.

Die EU-Kommission legt den finalen Verhaltenskodex zur KI-Kennzeichnung vor. Ab 2. August 2026: Deepfakes, KI-Texte im öffentlichen Interesse und Chatbots müssen maschinenlesbar als KI erkennbar sein – mit digitaler Signatur und Zeitstempel. Mindestens zwei Ebenen. Ein wichtiger Schritt.

This is unconstitutional; if there had been an investigation, there would be a report and a requirement to fix the problem within a certain time, not an arbitrary and capricious cutoff, which is targeted and punitive and constitutes a bill of attainder.

Beyond Virtual Delay: Improving Packet Delay Bound in Network Calculus

Abstract: In network calculus, a fundamental result is the classical delay bound given by the horizontal deviation between the arrival and service curves. While widely used, the classical bound is derived from the notion of virtual delay. In this work, we first show that the maximum packet delay is always upper-bounded by the maximum virtual delay, revealing inherent conservatism when applying the virtual-delay-based bound to packet delay. Motivated by this insight, we revisit packet delay analysis and derive a new packet delay bound that requires no assumptions beyond the arrival and service curves. Specializing the new bound to a system with leaky-bucket arrival curve and rate-latency service curve shows strict improvement over the classical bound, which is further demonstrated through a case study in time-sensitive networking (TSN).
