It has become obvious clear to me that large part of world are either trying too hard to follow the example of Sir Nevile Henderson with regards to Ukraine or are too occupied with what they themselves can get out of it to care about the common good. It does not bode well unless we grow a spine.

This is a typical example of how the use of autonomous cars have been premature. AI is great at pattern recognition, but when something unplanned happens the only safe course of action is shutting down. No human means full stop. Any critical system that work less than 99,99% of the time is flawed.
PG&E is having a massive outage in San Francisco. Waymo robots aren't handling the traffic light outages well. Cell service is also out is some places.
No surprise as Waymo robots & cell have repeatedly failed during power outages.
CPUC regulates both Waymo and PG&E (Profit Greed & Explosions).

It’s vital that we support open source software. Without it, our ability to respond to challenges and manage our lives will diminish, so will our ability to survive. Even the multi trillion dollar software industry is born on the backs of free- and open source kode.
After taking over housing and healthcare, private equity is now buying up software used by volunteer fire departments — making it even harder for rural communities to respond to emergencies.
The only winners from private equity's price-gouging spree are wealthy investors.

Last time I voted — I voted on what my son told me to vote for. He’s 11. Next time, I’ll make sure to include my second son as well. Whatever they decide, I’ll go for it. Kids need to learn the importance of democracy. It’s essential for protecting our rights and liberties.

When ever I think about how we are empowering #AI agents to do the the shopping for us it reminds me of this incredible mind reader from Belgium that wasn’t so incredibly after all. #Online #fraudsters just got a super weapon.

I have a better idea. What if we just abolished the use of X in Europe? Again, just an idea. I am simply spitballing here.
The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Tools doesn’t help, what does? The best remedy is to establish a long-term relationship with an external penetration tester and test every software release. It’s the best shift-left strategy you can go for, to shift more, continous threat modeling, test-driven peer programming is the way to go.
Most shift-left strategies fail because they rely on automation. Automation is not a silver bullet. I recently went through all our SAST and SCA findings for last year, all 2500 of them. We use two very popular SAST tools. One of them also does SCA. We only had 11 that not were false-positives.(1/4)

The first year we used SAST we found lots of issues, but after fixing them, we find very little. It makes zero sense to use this tools to detect issues early. It would mean that developers would have to look for the 0.5% of issues that aren’t false positives. One of our SAST tools also use AI. (2/4)
