TIL again, about low ram footprint editors in OpenSource environments.
In the period where the following commands were valid
ATX3DT
ATA
Such editors were standard. I'm talking about vi. Over extremely noisy POTS lines without error correction, vi was the only editor you could use safely. I remember switching from editing mode to reading mode as frequently as possible, because the 2400 BPS modem from the SR University, had difficulty to keep the line as noise free as possible due to the archaic hardware infrastructure of the phone company.
The editor I'm learning again about is nvi
I'm going to take a deep dive into this, because one thing I love is using the least memory as possible while computing

Every computer operates the same way internally: it converts your actions into data, follows instructions step by step, and transforms that data back into visual or auditory results. From clicks to calculations, everything involves numbers moving at incredible speed. Ultimately, this occurs as binary (0s and 1s) information via electrical signals and transistors. #computer #tech #Technology #PC

As Marietje Schaake (Stanford) argues:
'The question is not whether the AI bubble will burst, but if Europe will seize the moment when it does'...
The EU will have a window of opportunity to push for a different model of AI, on that focusses on 'trust, security, sector-specific excellence & democratic accountability' rather than the dominant US model driving the bubble right now.
The Q. is: will Europeans be abel to move fast enough when the time comes?

I tend to talk about the #technology industry when I rail against #AI in the workplace but thinking back even earlier in my career when my jobs were more rooted in physical labor…yikes…that is bleak.
Like, I look at some of the people I used to work with when I was doing tree removal. The senior folks, they could literally tell you within a centimeter where they were going to drop a tree. Not every job required that much accuracy, but when you’re between two buildings, a few centimeters matters a lot.
I was just thinking about all the facts they would take into consideration. Where to place guide ropes, how much tension to put on them, how much of the top foliage needs to be removed first, how to wedge the cut, etc.
This was all in their heads and while it was quantifiable, it’s not a massive ternary operation. There were decisions they would make if the soil was wet, but only if it was a certain amount of wet. Or they’d delay a job because it was so dry that they worried about flash fires from the friction of the chains but only if we were cutting pine or walnut trees.
I look at some of the errors made by these agents that folks install and while the engineer in me sees tech problems, I don’t think I had thought about how much I’m also seeing forest fires.
The critical vulnerability at the heart of the article is the mistaken belief that GDPR/CCPA create easy backdoors to obtain a spouse’s corporate or cross‑border data—when in reality those laws erect procedural and substantive barriers that can block third‑party access and turn broad discovery requests into disfavored “fishing expeditions.” The strategic insight is to treat privacy regimes as constraints to be navigated, not shortcuts: pursue nar

Something I learned today. Microsoft Office Clipboard viewer has changed. Now you need to press Windows & V to bring up something called Clipboard History which does exactly the same thing as the old Clipboard viewer except that you need to enable it first. Why? Who knows, but it’s not exactly JAWS-friendly. It took me several attempts to activate it. Not that I use this feature very often but I hope I don’t need to enable it every time I want to use it.
