GenAI-accelerated TLA+ challenge

The TLA+ Foundation, in collaboration with NVIDIA, is pleased to announce the GenAI-accelerated TLA+ challenge—an open call for submissions that explore the intersection of TLA+ and generative AI. This initiative aims to foster practical and innovative tooling, workflows, and approaches that bring the capabilities of generative AI and LLMs to TLA+. Participants are invited to develop engineering-oriented solutions that advance the usability, accessibility, and automation of formal specification through the integration of GenAI. Awards 1st Place: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (sponsored by NVIDIA) 2nd Place: One-year single seat, individual subscription to Github Copilot Pro+ (sponsored by the TLA+ Foundation) 3rd Place: One-year single seat, individual subscription to Github Copilot Pro (sponsored by the TLA+ Foundation) Example Project Areas Participants may submit work including, but not limited to:

Einladung zum Junghacker:innentag auf dem 38C3

Hinweise für Mithelfende und Veranstalter am Ende des Textes! Junghacker:innen-Tag - sei dabei! Zu unserer Freude haben sich in den letzten Jahren immer mehr Junghacker:innen auf dem Congress eingefunden. Daher bieten wir auch diesmal, wie schon in den Vorjahren, einen speziell auf Kinder und Jugendliche zugeschnittenen Junghacker:innentag an. Am zweiten Congresstag, dem 28. Dezember 2024, organisieren Freiwillige aus vielen Assemblies von etwa 10 bis 17 Uhr ein vielseitiges Workshop-Programm für angehende Hacker:innen. Wer schon immer mal löten, programmieren, einen 3D-Drucker ausprobieren, einen mathematischen Beweis führen, selber ein Schloss ohne Schlüssel öffnen oder nerdige Spiele spielen wollte, sollte sich die Gelegenheit nicht entgehen lassen.

Ich bin zu Besuch in #Hamburg. Gibt es jemanden, der in den nächsten Tagen etwas über Lamport's #TLAplus lernen möchte?

I remember reading an article that claimed human drivers are better in certain situations, such as extreme scenarios, compared to self-driving cars. However, I can't find it now. Am I hallucinating things?
