We’ve awarded a €180M tender for sovereign cloud to four European providers.
This enables EU institutions, bodies, offices & agencies (Union entities) to procure sovereign cloud services.
Scaling the use of EU cloud is key to strengthening Europe’s digital sovereignty.

@campuscodi I like the proposal to to replace "hello" in protocols with "Don't allow eel bearing Atlanteans into your country; economic ruin follows close behind" better, I do hope IETF will consider that one, although it seems to have remained a draft since 2014 for some reason.

Or maybe the IPv10 one (6+4). After all 10 is more than 8.

(This is a great joke which deserves to be retold, the comments in that thread are also, as they say on some sites, "gold")
Interesting, Microsoft has (started?) putting up a warning on repos that host exploit code.
From the description it sounds like the code itself would be malicious but afaik this is "just" a PoC.
The interesting part is to see if they start doing this everywhere or just when it's windows exploits that make them look silly :-)
@jerry It seems like a win-win and was looking into it this winter when electricity prices was high, a DYI solution barely works out if you already own a GPU, and this is Finland where we need heating most of the year
But on a professional scale it has been tried many times and all of the companies have either gone bankrupt (Dutch nerdalize )or switched to doing it at district heating level (French qarnots)
Only one who still seems to be around is UK https://heata.co/ and they heat your water.
it's a interesting world we live in where the rewrite-in-rust army has now gotten nuclear weapons in the form of LLM's, and they are not afraid to use them :-D
The backstory for why I started thinking about this is that CIRCL.lu runs this vulnerability-lookup project, which is great. But I had some ideas how to improve the notification emails so I wanted to look into what it would need to self-host in order to customise it for my use.
But I got distracted by this, I rewrote it in rust, issue.
Someone just had a LLM reimplement everything in rust, I think in order to reduce the system requirements for running the project.
I mean, I'm very divided. I love efficient computing. I am not going to (want to) self-host vulnerability-lookup if it needs 7 different services and 16 GiBs of RAM. So a efficient rust implementation would be interesting.
But after looking at the code, I am not sure this is the right approach. I told codex to look at it before deploying it and there are so much unnecessary stuff in there. Is it slop? I don't know, I guess that depends if someone keeps maintaining and improving it for more than a month.
Just because you can does not mean you should.
Would it have been better to take those tokens and spend it on improving the slow or resource intensive parts of the original project?
Vulnerability-Lookup facilitates quick correlation of vulnerabilities from various sources, independent of vulnerability IDs, and streamlines the management of Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure ...
A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks.
The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google's Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people.
ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher.

It's a frisk 7C but sun is out and it's time to start collecting that d-vitamin.
Quite an experience to first listen to the Artemis recap and then notice that I (unintentionally) picked my ESA coffee mug.
Humanity can do great things, I hope we can keep the focus on the building rather than destroying.
