ehhhh maybe could be worded better…

While the article mentions that it’s mostly enterprise grade hard drives that are becoming more expensive, nonetheless it’s also affecting consumer-level hardware – in addition to memory and GPUs becoming difficult to afford for anyone wishing to just play computer games or create human-made content.

As gradually leaked the last days by various news outlets, the EU Commission has secretly set in motion a potentially massive reform of the GDPR. If internal drafts become reality, this would have significant impact on people’s fundamental right to privacy and data protection. The reform would be part of the so-called “Digital Omnibus” which was supposed to only bring targeted adjustments to simplify compliance for businesses. Now, the Commission proposes changes to core elements like the definition of “personal data” and all data subject’s rights under the GDPR. The leaked draft also suggests to give AI companies (like Google, Meta or OpenAI) a blank check to suck up European’s personal data. In addition, the special protection of sensitive data like health data, political views or sexual orientation would be significantly reduced. Also, remote access to personal data on PCs or smart phones without consent of the user would be enabled. Many elements of the envisaged reform would overturn CJEU case law, violate European Conventions and the European Charter of Fundamental Rights. If this extreme draft will become the official position of the European Commission, will only become clear on 19 November, when the “Digital Omnibus” will be officially presented. Schrems: “This would be a massive downgrading of European’s privacy ten years after the GDPR was adopted.”

AI pattern matching is a black box. You can’t know how a decision is made until it’s too late to unmake it. A private surveillance firm plugging AI into policing doesn’t democratize safety or create objectivity, it accelerates suspicion based on existing grievances.

I was spell checking myself and the auto-generated summary of results told me that the phrase didn’t exist.

I have been looking into setting up a secure home server and hardening my local network and I came across this kickstarter which is currently floundering, likely because it’s campaign page is way too technical without enough fluff for the uninformed out there (like myself to some extent).

A new paper argues that current LLMs are fundamentally broken because they’re completely static. They call it “anterograde amnesia”, which is honestly spot on. A model gets pre-trained, and from that moment on, its weights are frozen. It can’t actually learn anything new. Sure, it has a context window, but that’s just short-term memory. The model can’t take new information from its context and permanently update its own parameters. The knowledge in its MLP layers is stuck in the past, and the attention mechanism is the only part that’s live, but it forgets everything instantly.

Et godt eksempel, synes jeg, på hvad vi skal bruge den nye teknologi på.

We’ve been working on Safebox, an open-source framework that helps you install, manage, and access self-hosted applications such as Home Assistant, Nextcloud, and Jellyfin etc. Safebox runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows (supporting both x86 and ARM64 architectures, even Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi hardware also tested). It manages domain and subdomain setup, Let’s Encrypt certificates, DNS configuration, and reverse proxy (nginx). It also includes a Wireguard-based remote access feature and a geo-redundant backup system (currently in development). The project is in beta, and we’re looking for people interested in testing and giving feedback on its usability, stability, features, and really anything else. All information about Safebox and beta testing can be found in our discord channel.

Regardless of whether his own feelings seeped into the show, Gilligan has been a vocal skeptic of artificial intelligence. Tucked away in the “Pluribus” credits, it reads, “This show was made by humans.” It’s an important reminder as Big Tech continues to infiltrate Hollywood, and the trillion-dollar companies behind shows like “Pluribus” are also driving the future of AI.

Google’s Gmail service is, without doubt, the most used free email platform on the planet, with almost 2 billion daily users. Let that sink in for a moment. Now you should appreciate why it’s also a prime target for hackers, scammers and other threats. Many of these, sadly but inevitably, are driven by AI tools. Which is why there has been concern over headlines this week that Google is letting its Gemini Deep Research tool read Gmail messages, as well as data from Docs, Drive and Chat. However, there’s a major privacy and security caveat: you have to give it permission first.

Use the “passwords” feature to check if one of yours is compromised. If it shows up, never ever reuse those credentials. They’ll be baked into thousands of botnets etc. and be forevermore part of automated break-in attempts until one randomly succeeds.

Wanted to share an app I just came across. I was trying to use Dolphin with Pixel 8 pro on graphene and it just wouldn’t stop stuttering. So I looked into it and found this fork of Dolphin that emulates way smoother and is just better. If you’re into emulation and want to give Wii another shot then check this out!

Yesterday I released Flatpak 1.17.0. It is the first version of the unstable 1.17 series and the first release in 6 months. There are a few things which didn’t make it for this release, which is why I’m planning to do another unstable release rather soon, and then a stable release still this year.
