I wonder how much of this is going on unreported - it's like taking candy from a baby.
The small town of Gloversville, NY, was hit by a ransomware attack and paid a ransom of $150,000, negotiated down from $300,000.

Gloversville hit by ransomware attack
The city of Gloversville’s computer system was hit by a ransomware attack, which compromised the personal information of employees past and present. The attack was discovered by the finance commissioner back in March, the city announced on Saturday. There was a ransomware note on the server. Gloversville reported the attack to the FBI. State Police and the Department of Homeland Security’s Incident Response Team.

I wrote a blog post again!
The style might be a bit different today. On location I made a lot of speech-to-text notes and tried to make a blog post from these.
At least it made it easier for me to remember what I felt on location. I think I'll do this note-taking more often. Especially when I don't reord videos.
Anyways. I hope you enjoy the photos and the reading.

I've set up a #TriliumNotes server to test it as a replacement for my job-related Trello. Phew... I've rarely seen an app that looks so daunting when you first start it up. Dozens of buttons, menus, features... and on first start it wants a password but you can't use it with multiple users. You need multiple servers for that or encrypt a set of private notes.

Dear USians,
How about you don’t call a Middle Eastern guy “white” and go on to tell him he’s “no better than any other oppressor we encounter” simply for trying to warn his Palestinian friends to not take any unnecessary risks and to be careful on Mastodon?
Also, apparently Divya has blocked me for this, which sucks because it has made it impossible for me to keep boosting her fundraiser, which you should, of course, still follow and support (link below).

Incremental Summarization for Customer Support via Progressive Note-Taking and Agent Feedback
We introduce an incremental summarization system for customer support agents that intelligently determines when to generate concise bullet notes during conversations, reducing agents' context-switching effort and redundant review. Our approach combines a fine-tuned Mixtral-8x7B model for continuous note generation with a DeBERTa-based classifier to filter trivial content. Agent edits refine the online notes generation and regularly inform offline model retraining, closing the agent edits feedba…

I would call it asshole-mode, rather than Max Max, and note that it is really symbolic of techbro-ism. Taking advantage because we can get away with breaking the rules.

Haven‘t heard of Trillium but it looks cool. A self-hosted alternative to my Trello board that I‘m just using as a todo list and more and more like a note-taking app anyways. 90% of the UI widgets in Trello are just noise for me. https://mastodon.art/@NiwlCraft/115734410857545510

After sharing #vim and #neovim keybindings all over the place, I finally connected a couple of neurons and realized, 'Hey, maybe it’s time to share the one I actually use the most.' So here’s a handy little list, perfect for when I inevitably need to share them again (because I will).

The bixplot: A variation on the boxplot suited for bimodal data
Boxplots and related visualization methods are widely used exploratory tools for taking a first look at collections of univariate variables. In this note an extension is provided that is specifically designed to detect and display bimodality and multimodality when the data warrant it. For this purpose a univariate clustering method is constructed that ensures contiguous clusters, meaning that no cluster has members inside another cluster, and such that each cluster contains at least a given num…

The Narasimhan-Seshadri Theorem revisited

The Narasimhan-Seshadri Theorem revisited
Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface. The famous Narasimhan-Seshadri theorem [13] of 1965 uses the Grothendieck construction [4] of 1956 that associates vector bundles $E(σ)$ on $X$ to representations $σ$ of a certain Fuchsian group $π$. Narasimhan and Seshadri show that by taking the representations $σ$ to be irreducible unitary of a certain kind, this exactly gives all stable vector bundles on $X$ of a given rank and degree. In this note we reformulate the correspondence from representa…
