turns out using copilot for coding, neither increases productivity nor reduces burnout but increases (by 41%) bug rate according to a study that assessed 800 developers

Het parcours van het WK Gravel, dit weekend georganiseerd in Leuven, snijdt onder andere de vier vijvers van Abdij van Park aan. Natuurliefhebbers voelen zich ongehoord, de stad 'probeert de schade te beperken.' 👇 veto.be/cultuur/wk-gra…

Nieuwe aflevering van #GravelGate! Leuven kent een onafhankelijke, adviserende Natuur- en Diversiteitsraad. Mooi initiatief. Maar… men vroeg die raad géén advies over de passage door de Abdij. Donderdag vroeg de Raad dan maar zèlf om de route te herzien😬 leuven.be/natuur-en-biod…

Despite putting on protective masks, fifteen peacekeepers suffered effects, including skin irritation and gastrointestinal reactions, after the smoke entered the camp. The peacekeepers are receiving treatment.

🚨 The third #MonitoringBorderTech report is out! EU - Member states have provided financial and material support for border control in North Macedonia with Germany among the biggest donors of surveillance equipment. borderviolence.eu/reports/survei…

Silicon Valley firms have been pitching the defense community hard on AI uses for military contexts. This needs much closer scrutiny from policymakers, Dr Heidy Khlaaf (هايدي خلاف), Meredith Whittaker and I argue in a new paper released today: defenseone.com/technology/202…

I lived in Germany for four years. One of the key reasons why I left is the stunning level of daily racism and abuse that German authorities support against people from the Middle East (generically labelled as Muslims, whatever their actual beliefs might be)

"Understanding Trust Relationships in Cloud-Based Confidential Computing": a great paper by Gianluca Scopelliti et al. on whether you can trust big CSP's remote attestation for confidential computing. (Spoiler: you can't.) Slides and paper: bobspot.org/publications

Freedom of speech is at stake in Germany. Criticism of the Israeli government is not antisemitism.

This is a great paper on the status of remote attestation of confidential VMs in public clouds. tl;dr None allow you to verify that you run the OS you think you do. Shoutout to AWS for a reproducible build of their firmware! systex24.github.io/papers/systex2… #tdx #sev #aws #azure #gcp

A couple of things. 1. Being able to ratio Ursula Von der Leyen when she commiserates with racist football hooligans, rather than murdered Palestinian children, and expose media misinformation in real time, is a core reason to stay on twitter. This stuff doesn't happen elsewhere.

The ever-repeating warning about the risk of abuse of government access seems to hold some truth to it.

Whelp as usual I spoke too soon. My uni turned around AND BROUGHT CHARGES ON ITS OWN STUDENTS FOR RESEARCHING ITS TIES WITH ISREAL. I swear to god. 🤬🤬🤬 For research. And since the attorney gen of the canton of Vaud hates student activists with the passion of a thousand suns,

Meanwhile our 2G/3G/4G/5G phone calls are still not end-to-end encrypted. Weakness-by-design introduced at the request of law enforcement is now hurting our digital societies. Life is full of choices, and some have made the wrong ones.

In Autumn 2024, I've taught, for the last time, one of my favourite introductory classes at Yale-NUS: Parallel, Concurrent, and Distributed Programming I'm making all its materials public, and I hope you will find them useful! ilyasergey.net/YSC4231/

Ist das echt ????
