> #Microsoft confirms that #Windows 11 Recall #AI is not optional — a glitch made it appear so in the Windows 11 24H2 KB5041865 update

But don’t worry, the company that is unable to correctly implement a toggle switch assures us that they definitely implemented this new immensely complex piece of technology nobody asked for directly in the operating system in a way that is secure and under no circumstances puts anyone in danger in ways security researchers said it will.

According to the “Terminator” film franchise, TODAY is the day that Skynet became self-aware, took over, and started its campaign to destroy humanity. The good news is that instead we have garbage like #Google Gemini that can’t even answer questions like “When was Kamala Harris born?”

So we’re probably safe from Skynet for now.

Wow there is a LOT of stuff in the new release of uv - lockfiles, a pipx alternative, Poetry-style project management, even the ability to manage and download standalone Python versions directly

It’s taking me a while to dig through all of this https://astral.sh/blog/uv-unified-python-packaging

❝Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. […] Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.❞ — Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate)

OH WAIT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT CECILIA PAYNE

• Cecilia Payne’s mother refused to spend money on her college education, so she won a scholarship to Cambridge.

• Cecilia Payne completed her studies, but Cambridge wouldn’t give her a degree because she was a woman, so she said to heck with that and moved to the United States to work at Harvard.

• Cecilia Payne was the first person ever to earn a Ph.D. in astronomy from Radcliffe College, with what Otto Strauve called “the most brilliant Ph.D. thesis ever written in astronomy.”

• Not only did Cecilia Payne discover what the universe is made of, she also discovered what the sun is made of (Henry Norris Russell, a fellow astronomer, is usually given credit for discovering that the sun’s composition is different from the Earth’s, but he came to his conclusions four years later than Payne — after telling her not to publish).

• Cecilia Payne is the reason we know basically anything about variable stars (stars whose brightness as seen from earth fluctuates). Literally every other study on variable stars is based on her work.

• Cecilia Payne was the first woman to be promoted to full professor from within Harvard, and is often credited with breaking the glass ceiling for women in the Harvard science department and in astronomy, as well as inspiring entire generations of women to take up science.

• Cecilia Payne is awesome and everyone should know her.

Durch die je 10m l√§ngeren Auf- und Abfahrten kann die mobile “Autobahn √ºber der Autobahn” jetzt mit 60km/h befahren werden, w√§hrend darunter der Belag erneuert wird.

Und als Informatiker freue ich mich nat√ºrlich √ºber die 256 R√§der. Also eine echte 8-Bit-“Br√ºcke”. Ich vermute aber, dass der Wechsel zu 16-Bit-Br√ºcken noch eine zeitlang auf sich warten lassen wird‚Ķ

(Und die 8-Bit-Achszähler an den Eisenbahnschienen freuen sich auch, dass sie nicht auf 256 zählen müssen… 🫣)
