Ebba Busch har aldrig någonsin läst Elina Pahnkes citat och blivit upprörd över det. Citatet fanns ju aldrig. Hon har medvetet genererat ett citat att bli upprörd över.

Jag har skrivit en text om hur Busch sprider ytterligare villfarelser om hur tekniken fungerar i sin så kallade ursäkt till Pahnke. Får se om någon debattredaktion vill ha den, annars kommer den på bloggen.

Här är tills vidare klippet där Busch klämmer i ordentligt med det fabrikerade citatet.

About morbid thriftiness (Autism Spectrum Condition)
As you may have noticed, I am morbidly thrifty. Usually I don't buy stuff that I don't need — and if I decide that I actually need something, I am going to ponder about it for a while, look for value products, and for the best price. And with some luck, I'm going to decide I don't need it that bad after all.
One reason for that is probably how I was raised. My parents taught me to be thrifty, so I have to be. It doesn't matter that, from retrospective, I see that their thriftiness was applied rather arbitrarily to some spendings and not others, or that perhaps they were greedy — spending less on individual things so that they could buy more. Well, I can't delude myself like that, so I have to be thrifty for real. And when I fail, when I pay too much, when I get cheated — I feel quite bad about it.
The other reason is that I keep worrying about my future. It doesn't matter how rich I may end up — I'll keep worrying that I'll run out of money in the future. Perhaps I'll lose a job and won't be able to find anything for a long time, Perhaps something terrible will happen and I'm going to need to pay a lot suddenly.
Another thing is that I easily get attached to objects. Well, it's easier to be thrifty when you really don't want to replace stuff. Over time you also learn to avoid getting new stuff at all, since the more stuff you have, the more stuff may break and need to be thrown away.
Finally, there's my environmental responsibility. I admit that I don't do enough — but at least the things I can do, I do.
[EDIT: and yes, I feel bad about how expensive my new phone was, even though it's of much higher quality than the last one. Also, I got a worse deal because I waited too long.]

Discovering the Unequal Importance of Coded Bits in the Decoding of Polar Codes
Polar codes are widely used in modern communication systems due to their capacity-achieving properties. This paper investigates the importance of coded bits in the decoding process of polar codes and aims to determine which bits contribute most to successful decoding. We investigate the problem via a brute-force search approach and surrogate optimization techniques to identify the most critical coded bits. We also demonstrate how mapping these important bits to the most reliable channels improv…

John Unsworth retired this month as university librarian and dean of libraries at the University of Virginia (UVA), after more than nine years in the role. We chatted with him...

Generating code via an LLM prompt at breakneck speed can, predictably, lead to less-than-stellar work.
Now, in an ironic twist, it seems that, having dispensed with more skilled coders for the cheap effectiveness of a chatbot-aided code monkey,
companies are having to hire additional contractors to fix the AI’s screw-ups.

After AI Led to Layoffs, Coders Are Being Hired to Fix 'Vibe-Coded' Screwups
