🆕 blog! “Agentic AI is brilliant because I loath my family”

At a recent unconference on AI, someone introduced me to the story of a guy who'd tasked an LLM with writing a bedtime story for his daughter. It personalised the tale to include her favourite stuffed toy, whichever cartoon she was obsessing over, and a range of not-too-scary baddies.

And all I could…

Hab mich sehr gefreut, als @Natascha_Strobl zugesagt hat, bei der ersten Folge nach dem Relaunch dabei zu sein. Wir sprechen in der aktuellen Folge ausgiebig über radikalisierten Konservatismus & Faschismus. Und zum Schluss hat Natascha dann noch etwas ziemlich wahres & wichtiges gesagt. https://www.denkangebot.org/allgemein/natascha-strobl-ueber-radikalisierten-konservatismus-und-faschismus/

As an aside: I also often wonder how much of modern computing efforts are spent making computers pretend they're something they are manifestly not.

CPUs pretending to be single-thread-single-core devices, so programmers build elaborate dispatch multiplexers on top of them, OSes aping PDP11s for their guest code,. SOCs pretending to be hard drives, etc etc.

There's this wild live-action plato's cave metaphor-psychodrama going on in all of our machines all the time and ... nobody knows that.

Docker.DotNet is now compatible with the latest #docker Engine v29 (https://github.com/testcontainers/Docker.DotNet/releases/tag/v3.131.0). Please note that backward compatibility with earlier API versions is limited due to the project's current structure. I will address this limitation in upcoming releases. #dotnet

I am very happy and proud to share our latest blogpost on a library created at @karakun and published as #OpenSource : EncryptedFileChannel - Transparent Encryption for Java NIO

It makes it easy to add strong, authenticated encryption to Java I/O — without changing your existing code. Based on Google Tink. Acts as a drop-in for FileChannel.

This library might save you a lot of time / headache ;-)

@kiview VEB Kombinat Robotron. Die ganze sächsische Halbleiterindustrie zehrt heute noch davon.

Die Planwirtschaft gab vor, dass jeder Industriebetrieb auch Konsumprodukte herzustellen hatte. Dann baute man halt statt Druckern ein paar Kleingebäckpressen.
