@mozilla@mozilla.social stop. Nobody asked for this. Nobody wants an "ai browser". I still have no clue what an ai browser even is or does, and I do not see how shoving a statistical model into a browser will enhance anything at all. Nobody is using firefox because they want this kind of crap.Please, for the love of all that is holy, shift focus back onto juat making a decent web browser. Not a single person who uses your browser wants this.
La #CGIL inizia a comprendere la complessità, i molti rischi e le fragili opportunità della società #cibernetica in cui viviamo.
Bell'articolo con un ottimo finale

Spero che alle parole seguano fatti e che la CGIL inizi a fornire agli iscritti i servizi informatici basilari, come email, instant messanging cifrato (#xmmp? #matrix?), ed inizi ad evitare come la peste a tutti i livelli quei fornitori che profilano i lavoratori per manipolarli (#Google, #Facebook, #Amazon etc...)
My one-line #testing #framework for #C #programming:
#define RUN(f) if(f()){printf(#f ": OK\n");}else{printf(#f ": FAILED\n");}
It's amusing to see the mix of moral panic and hypocrisy in #InfoSec arousing around the #xzbackdoor.
Everybody propose "#xz takeaway", "lesson learned" and so on...
But everybody pretends such kind of carefully crafted attacks to be something new, something clever and unprecedented.
It's not.
For a #backdoor that has been discovered (by a fortunate and unlikely row of coincidences, while analyzing benchmarks of an unrelated software), thousands are still running in production.
Hiding backdoors in modern stack is incredibly easy due to its huge complexity. And this is obviously true for both #opensource and proprietary software.
The only way out is to redesign and rewrite everything from scratch to be human readable.
#Wirth was right.
Three years ago, #FDroid had a similar kind of attempt as the #xz #backdoor. A new contributor submitted a merge request to improve the search, which was oft requested but the maintainers hadn't found time to work on. There was also pressure from other random accounts to merge it. In the end, it became clear that it added a #SQLinjection #vuln. In this case, we managed to catch it before it was merged. Since similar tactics were used, I think its relevant now
@djsundog @andrewfeeney I make a lot of finished software. Mostly for personal use. And a lot of it adheres to these principles:

xz / open-source libs
The majority of libs you know at the very least _started out_ as someone just noodling around on their private project and then over time turned into the go-to solution for XYZ.
But for many libs, that's just never been the goal, and pretending that not having that level of ambition is tantamount to failure is also not serving anybody.
xz / open-source libs
And "any open-source lib anywhere in the wild must be up to professional quality standards and respond to all bug reports in a timely fashion" is also a bullshit standard to apply to anything. It just doesn't work that way.
PostgreSQL maintainer Simon Riggs has died in a small airplane crash, on Tuesday.
For those who didn't know Simon, he's responsible for PostgreSQL Binary Replication and many big data features. He and I worked together at Greenplum 2006-2008. Postgres would not be the world-leading DB it is today if it weren't for him.
Ok, so let's first explain what MTU is. I guess half of you already know, in which case you can skip 2 posts ahead.
As you may expect, there's a limit of how big an IP packet can be. This limit is called Maximum Transfer Unit, and it depends on the underlying link layer, eg. for Ethernet it's usually 1500.
If your Ethernet supports Jumbo Frames, MTU can be over 9000.
If you add VPNs / tunneling layers, it can go lower, eg. Ethernet with MTU 1500 goes down to ~1420* when you add IPSec.

L'AI Act, impostatato com'è sul rischio di danno e sulle valutazioni di impatto, rende leciti quasi tutti i sistemi maggiormente lesivi dei diritti individuali.
Si arricchiranno, oltre alle big tech, le imprese che si occuperanno di valutazione del rischio.
L'autorità italiana che dovrebbe fare, baloccarsi con le check lists?
L'unica cosa utile sarebbe una presa di posiziione italiana, che sancisca l'illegalità di diritto
di ciò che è già illegale sulla base del diritto vigente, al netto dell'AI Act: ad esempio, che la polizia possa usare un sistema intrusivo e non funzionante di "riconoscimento" delle emozioni.

@zacchiro which part of that, the result? The concatenator (I’m hesitant to call it builder)? They basically have the equivalent of d/copyright (except less well done and nowhere near machine-readable) in every module and concatenate those on image build, and it shows up on the about box of Android, of in-car entertainment systems, etc. or on websites with docs for the images.
Only those modules that went into the build ofc as Shamar said the others are not relevant.
