Computer science students looking to graduate this year: if you're not experimenting with vibe coding, you should be. This is an opportunity for you to learn about the limitations and flaws in AI-generated code (and there are TON of them). If you start interviewing for jobs with some experience in debunking the magical thinking around AI-based coding, you'll have an advantage over all the starry-eyed applicants who have no clue how to compete for jobs.

Corporations are investing in AI regardless of how stupid and short-sighted that will prove to be (the global chip shortage is a serious dark horse on the horizon) - but they will need people with experience in managing the nightmare of extremely naively-written code they're replacing human workers with.

Tech giants Meta and Google have been on the defensive in the landmark trial over social media addiction. As the 20-year-old plaintiff is set to testify today in L.A., here's a Flipboard Storyboard that explores the question at the centre of the case: Is Social Media Addictive?

Just been on @bbcworld news channel discussing with Kasia Madera about Instagram’s new rollout of a feature that alerts parents if their kids are searching for self-harm and suicide-related content (which, let’s be honest, they’re not doing that…)

If we’re being real, it’s much easier to find that kind of content on the internet, and while Meta definitely knows what users are searching for on their mobile device web browsers, it would be going down a slippery slope for us to permit further tracking and surveillance of children and young people, and eventually break GDPR etc.

So the only solution I can actually see would be to skip over that and just let the under-16s social media ban go through.

I’ll be on @BBC5Live in an hour to discuss the same thing.

Effective cybersecurity requires more than just data privacy measures. New technologies demand thorough privacy impact assessments (PIAs) to ensure regulatory compliance and operational security. Don't view PIAs as mere "compliance theater" – they're a crucial step in protecting your organization from security breaches and reputational damage. Get the inside scoop on why effective PIAs are essential for tech development and how to implement them successfully.

Floppy disks were introduced in the early 1970s and in the two decades before they became obsolete, tens of billions were produced, most of which ended up in landfills, long-forgotten storage, or libraries. Archivist Leontien Talboom has been working for the past few years to preserve the floppy disks in the Cambridge University Library, collaborating with retro-computing enthusiasts. She talked to @PopularScience about the project.

For folks you're worried that today's AI can already replace us, or who are deciding how far to trust a learning model in a production environment - "The Car Wash Problem" is an entertaining and sobering experiment.

https://opper.ai/blog/car-wash-test

"Everything below GPT-5 performs worse than 10,000 people given two buttons and no time to think."

It is critical to remember that today's AI always generates a pleasing answer, even when it is outside of it's capabilities.

There is a chasm between how today's AI thinks and how it presents itself. Stolen human writing regurgitated allows AI to present as more coherent than it's actual processing powers would otherwise allow.

Every one of these models presents a well written compelling argument, even while most miss the point entirely.

This case is special not because is fools many AI.

This case is special because most humans can still easily recognize the mistake no matter how well the AI presents itself.

We have a new lack-of-warriness problem to overcome, as these models may continue to grow faster in apparent reliability than in actual reliability.

Breaking The Creepy AI in Police Cameras

If you live in the USA, it's quite likely that a private startup has been logging and sharing your vehicle's location without your consent. In this video it's explored how LLMs can defend against being tracked by 3rd party police and retail LLM tracking cameras.

Watching the video makes you realize in how bad it's become for regular people in the US. All these third party LLM systems glitch and put people (often whole families) in front of barrels of guns pointed at them by police acting like vigilantes

Flock surveillance camera destruction

• Silicon Valley is torqueing up its ties with Trump
• The surveillance state is drastically expanding
• Big tech’s LLM data center buildout is booming

• Civilians now push back HARD

• Nation wide people destroy & dismantle Flock cameras, which conduct warrantless vehicle surveillance

• it's data is shared with the bloody ICE group

Flock

• Flock is based in Atlanta
• It operates automatic license plate readers (ALPR)
• Install base 6,000 US communities
• Flock cameras gather not just license plate images
• other identifying data is used to ‘fingerprint’ vehicles, owners, GPS location movements
• data is be collected, stored, and accessed without a warrant from a judge
• This is a popular workaround for law enforcement

Most controversial Flock’s vehicle data is routinely accessed by ICE!

Abuses have been prevalent

• A Georgia police chief was arrested and charged with using Flock data to stalk and harass private citizens
• Flock data has been used to track citizens who cross state lines for abortions when the procedure is illegal in their state

Thunderbird next?

Based upon the track record of Mozilla it's just a question of time before the programmers find a way of integrating large language model slop into the beautiful and elegant Thunderbird

Look closely; every time Mozilla is begging for money when you start up Thunderbird after 2 or 3 days of not having used it. It's annoying I haven't looked for a way to turn it off I stopped being annoyed about it after having faced it for sixteen times

This happens cross platform which means it is baked and hard coded into Thunderbird

Up to now, with all LLM things that Mozilla has done, you can just turn them off. I just shrug and turn them off

How is it in this case?

Can you turn this feature off, if so where?

You do realize that because Google literally funds Mozilla, they will keep doing these bad things, opting in users without permission
Maybe you should not use anything that the Mozilla makes anymore, otherwise you will just be annoyed and disappointed Time after Time. The Mozilla team is literally choked by Google, financially choked.

Wishing for their destruction is deeply emotional

These annoyances disappointments & irritations are not good for your health, my internet friend.

An 18-year-old who allegedly killed eight people in a mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, reportedly used OpenAI’s ChatGPT in ways that alarmed the company’s staff. They debated calling police but ultimately chose not to, according to a Wall Street Journal exclusive. ChatGPT transcripts weren’t the only concerning part of the shooter’s digital footprint.

We’ve been listening.

Many of you asked about an open edition of PH4NTXM — something lighter, something accessible, something transparent.

PH4NTXM was built as a closed, controlled architecture by design.
But the community made a compelling case for a free and fully open-source version centered on education and research.

So we’re building it.

A streamlined, open-source framework released free for the community — designed for research, exploration, and technical growth.

PH4NTXM remains our flagship architecture.
But knowledge should be shared.

More soon.

Every system boots but PH4NTXM boots with intent.

Introducing the Boot Persona System.

At startup, one profile is selected:

LINUX
WINDOWS
ANDROID

This choice is not cosmetic.

It defines how the machine behaves before it ever touches the network.

What actually changes?

When a mode is selected, the system aligns around it:

Network Stack

• TCP handshake characteristics
• Default TTL behavior
• Port range entropy
• Congestion control strategy
• SYN / FIN timing profiles
• ICMP rate shaping
• MTU probing & ECN behavior

Identity Layer

• Vendor-aligned hostname generation
• Hardware family selection (ThinkPad, XPS, Pixel, etc.)
• OUI-consistent MAC address generation
• Per-boot machine-id derivation
• DHCP client personality & vendor string

Each hostname family carries its own MAC vendor pool.

The identity is not random — it is internally consistent.

Temporal Behavior

• Controlled clock skew injection
• Jitter over session lifetime
• Profile-aligned timing distribution

Time itself participates in the persona.

DNS Layer

• Encrypted DNS-over-TLS forwarding
• Rotating upstream provider selection
• SNI-consistent TLS hostname validation
• Resolver hardening (DNSSEC, minimisation, identity masking)

Modern fingerprinting correlates layers.

A mismatch between hostname, MAC OUI, TCP defaults, TTL, and timing exposes systems instantly.

PH4NTXM prevents that mismatch.

A Persona does not alter one value.

It commits the entire stack to a single coherent profile.

There is no hybrid state.
No partial alignment.

Bass Guitar unboxing

This is my elegant Bass guitar, built by Ibanez.

• It was fabricated in Mexico
• QC was Zero
• the third string plays 3 to 6dB softer than the others
• the soldering work is shoddy. I soldered much neater when I was a 8 year old boy
• All the potentiometers came with dust pre installed, generating annoying scratching noise in my Analogue signal chain.
• None of the strings had the proper hight in mm. I have to adjust those myself
• The truss rod needed some adjustments also, since the neck was not under the correct angle
• I need to take the time and measure the passive components in the Bass; luckily there aren't many because of the passive circuit nature
• However I will most likely buy a set of high quality Bass Pickup Elements, because that's the easiest way to eliminate the status of the pickup elements
• I will clean out the potential meter which are there already, but
• I will still replace all three potentiometers with smoother feel, and the condensator for the tone control.
• I shall also buy a higher quality Bass from Yamaha in the process, because Yamaha has always provided me with wonderful PA and Studio audio equipment.
• A gorgeously sounding Sadowski Bass is also on my Radar

Conclusion

• After this absimal experience I understood why Sweetwater offers a wonderful new build {Bass} guitar setup, which I didn't consider, given the competitive price of this beautiful Bass
• It is not nice to be expected to have the experience of a luthier in order to play a brand new Bass
• Luthier skills are built over decades, you are a specialist in and out of itself
• Bass musicians should not be expected to have those skills just to play a new instrument

I'm disappointed in Ibanez Mexico, but I will reconfigure my Bass so that it plays in a proper fashion

AI sovereignty has been a hot topic at India's AI Impact Summit. Eileen Donahoe and Konstantinos Komaitis write for Tech Policy about what governments need to do to make that a reality, without their countries becoming isolated — it's all about interoperability. "In an interoperable world, standards are power—and governments that ignore them will find sovereignty decided elsewhere," they conclude.

Wonderful BSD news

Netbase shall bring netBSD userland utilities to Linux

Version v0.1 is released by introducing a new endeavor to port netBSD userland utilities to Linux with minimal source changes

Quote

The first release already includes a substantial set of core utilities including

cat echo ln mv pwd rm rmdir sleep chmod sync date mkdir test chown basename env dirname id tee yes head printf wc false true whoami uniq nice tty grep domainname hostname

The powerful ksh is also in the release

The potential benefits are practical

Developers working across BSD and Linux may prefer consistent tool behavior in both environments Security researchers and systems engineers may want to test or standardize on BSD utilities without switching operating systems.

It may also appeal to users who prefer BSD-style implementations over GNU ones for philosophical or technical reasons.
