Hab heute spannenderweise einen #Virus in einer #Mail bekommen, der im ACE-Format gepackt wurde.

Wer kann denn heutzutage noch ACE entpacken? Hat man drauf spekuliert, dass der bei den Virenscannern vorbei rutscht, weil sie das Archiv nicht öffnen können?

Ich verschicke demnächst meine Dateien im #ARJ-Format, mal sehen, wie viele Virenscanner das noch können.

A bit in the weeds but insight into disfunction of this White House. Would you trust these people with your public health? Surface and promotion over substance.

White House fed up with RFK Jr.'s sluggish press shop

It took two days for the Health and Human Services Department to acknowledge — by tweet — that a West Texas child had become the person to die in the measles outbreak.

Even though it was published in 1985, I'm fairly sure that this story is about LLMs.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵
