So I hacked my way into being Cyber Policy Initiative Senior Fellow at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy. I'm workin on rural water critical infrastructure cybersecurity.
Do you even hack utilities? Please chat w me. I need to quickly find out where I"m wrong about some of my assumptions.
Still very entertained by the fact that I *finally* got into the University of Chicago. :D

KI-Müll in US-Urteilen aufgeflogen
KI-Müll in Gerichtseingaben ist eine Plage. Nun sind auch Entscheidungen zweier US-Gerichte aufgeflogen. Ein Praktikant sei schuld, sagt ein erwischter Richter.

“I sat beside a boy who tried to smile at me. I couldn’t return a real smile. Tears welled in my eyes as I realized words could never reach the horrors his soul had witnessed. All I could do was place my hand gently on his shoulder and whisper, ‘You are not alone.’”

I was walking down a street that had once been full of life—shops open,...
Then I saw them. Children. Some missing an arm, some missing a leg, some missing both, yet their small bodies moved through the debris with a courage that seemed almost impossible. Their eyes—wide, searching—asked questions no child should ever have to ask: Why me? Why here? Will anyone see me? A boy sat on the curb, rolling a broken toy car over the cracks. His laugh was fragile, sharp, yet it was still laughter. Nearby, a girl balanced on a fallen beam, her small feet gripping...

Measuring #EnergyConsumption in #ProgrammingLanguages for #AI Applications

My research paper is finally out: Measuring Energy Consumption in Programming Languages for AI Applications
A question that has been concerning me over the decades is: what is the actual energy consumption of Java-based systems? The unprecedented growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and applications utilizing agentic AI systems from various vendors has elevated my question about energy consumption to th

Content warning: re: bitcoin conference report

The conference is over now. I likely wouldn't have come for just a bitcoin thing, but I am very interested in redecentralizing the web, so it's attachment to the nostr day pulled me in.
Everyone I met was friendly and interesting and seems much more interested in making a better money system than in making money for themselves.
Our government and bank money systems are dysfunctional in all kinds of ways which are often less visible than they should be too people using them, especially to those in Europe and America who benefit from the way those systems exploit the global south.
I'm not convinced that fixing that would end wars and fix broken government as some seem to think, but I am sure our money is the source of many problems.
There are many bright, well meaning, and intelligent people building to improve bitcoin in fascinating ways with the hope of having a parallel system to transition to. With lots of work still to be done.
Can it work?
I'm sure I don't know, and I'm sure even if it's a better system it'll come with it's own unfairness and cruelty. Money will continue to be a source of suck and worry.
I'm told that the bigger conferences are often full of shitcoin scammers and suit wearing banksters who are in fact all in it too get rich and rip people off, but I found none of that here.
Here there is a real community of people trying to make the world a better place and improve the lives of their neighbours and governance of their countries.
And in the end building community is the most radical and effective way to change the world regardless of the problems of it's money system.
I had a great time. Thanks to those organising it.

I do find value in Shazam when I go out. It's become one of the main ways I find new music.
It also links music to an experience for me, so if I discover something new when I'm in my happy place, like a coffee shop, I can re-live that moment when I listen again.
Currently, I'm listening to CloZee... I picked up a track (Revolution Sixis Remix) from this album yesterday. #Shazam #AppleMusic

Wow. I've dealt with various toxic personalities in software development, but a good portion of the time those toxic personalities were at least extremely knowledgeable in their (often, very limited) domain.
AI, however, seems to be enabling toxic personalities *who are completely clueless*. Impressive!

This was a proof of concept and an attempt to push AI as far as it would go. I believe that it has succeeded brilliantly! Also, *I would not call this a l…

quoted text: "I think that it is a case of different-to-the-point-of-being-incompatible software development processes (rather than a given process being fundamentally right or wrong), and I think that the uncertainty here is in part caused by our lack, on the upstream side, of a clear policy for what we expect regarding AI-assisted code contributions." response: "That is something I’ve been pondering myself.
