French radio-amateur living in Germany. I also keep bees, so you may see pictures of that too.
IanA few more updates to my ham radio log mapping tool today:
* You can now load SOTA CSV files
* Since it's not just an ADIF viewer any more, I have renamed it and moved the URL to https://qsomap.m0trt.radio/ (the old URL will still forward to the right place)
* QSOs with POTA, SOTA, WWFF, WWBOTA and GMA references will now look up the location from the appropriate API if necessary
* You can now append rather than replace when loading new files.
Happy mapping!

HackadayDetermine Fundamental Constants with LEDs and a Multimeter
There are (probably) less than two dozen fundemental constants that define the physics of our universe. Determining the value of them might seem like the sort of thing for large, …read more

Aral BalkanThose annoying “consent” cookie pop ups that Big Tech has been using as part of their malicious compliance efforts to convince you that data protection law in the EU is a nuisance?
Turns out they’re illegal.

EU ruling: tracking-based advertising by Google, Microsoft, Amazon, X, across Europe has no legal basis
EU data protection authorities find that the consent popups that plagued Europeans for years are illegal. All data collected through them must be deleted. This decision impacts Google’s, Amazon’s and Microsoft’s online advertising businesses.
bert hubert 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has lost access to his (Microsoft) email and bank accounts. Prosecutions are faltering now. This all due to US sanctions. 'Microsoft did not respond to a request for comments'. Yet European governments are collectively moving their email and files to Microsoft, risking similar problems if they ever upset the US administration. https://apnews.com/article/icc-trump-sanctions-karim-khan-court-a4b4c02751ab84c09718b1b95cbd5db3
Trump's sanctions on ICC prosecutor have halted tribunal's work
Nearly three months ago, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped sanctions on the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan. He has lost access to his email and his bank accounts have been frozen. American staffers at The Hague-based court also have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest. In addition, some nongovernmental organizations have stopped working with the ICC. Rights groups say these problems will prevent victims of war crimes from getting justice.
loic_fejoz🎉 Le 18 avril, c’est la Journée mondiale des #radioamateur s !
À cette occasion, voici une surprise visuelle pleine de détails… 📡🛰
👉 Dans le cadre du projet Phoenix de Fédération Open Space Makers #FOSM , et en collaboration avec lluuciole et Ema, nous mettons en avant les technologies radio – parce que le #spatial sans radio, c’est pipeau 😉

David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)The reason I get so annoyed about people pitching LLMs as a way to 'democratise programming' or as end-user programming tools is that they solve the wrong problem.
The hard part of programming is not writing code. It's unambiguously expressing your problem and desired solution. Imagine if LLMs were perfect programmers. All you have to do is write a requirements document and they turn it into a working program. Amazing, right? Well, not if you've ever seen what most people write in a requirements document or seen the output when a team of good programmers works from a requirements document.
The most popular end-user programming language in the world (and, by extension, the most popular programming language), with over a billion users, is the Calc language that is embedded in Excel. It is not popular because it's a good language. Calc is a terrible programming language by pretty much any metric. It's popular because Excel (which is also a terrible spreadsheet, but that's a different rant) is basically a visual debugger and a reactive programming environment. Every temporary value in an Excel program is inspectable and it's trivial to write additional debug expressions that are automatically updated when the values that they're observing change.
Much as I detest it as a spreadsheet, Excel is probably the best debugger that I have ever used, including Lisp and Smalltalk.
The thing that makes end-user programming easy in Excel is not that it's easy to write code, it's that it's easy to see what the code is doing and understand why it's doing the wrong thing. If you replace this with an LLM that generates Python, and the Python program is wrong, how does a normal non-Python-programming human debug it? They try asking the LLM, but it doesn't actually understand the Python so it will often send them down odd rabbit holes. In contrast, every intermediate step in an Excel / Calc program is visible. Every single intermediate value is introspectable. Adding extra sanity checks (such as 'does money leaving the account equal the money paid to suppliers?') is trivial.
If you want to democratise programming, build better debuggers, don't build tools that rapidly generate code that's hard to debug.
