EU elections in June, so I built a new thing: "EU Election Program Explorer".

https://wahlomat.marioslab.io

Visually explore statements made in Austrian parties' EU election programs, see where parties overlap and where they don't, etc.

How it works:
- Take program PDFs of each party, extract plain text for each page
- Let GPT 3.5 extract key statements from each page
- Embed each statement into high-dim vector
- Project to 2D space
- Slap web UI on top of it (pan/zoom/select/keyword search)

We don't have enough trust in the software development world.

Take time to learn from your team members and develop trust with them.

"NYC mayor Eric Adams wants to test Evolv’s gun-detection tech in subway stations—despite the company saying it’s not designed for that environment."

Was passiert eigentlich mit Solarmodulen, wenn sie nach 20 -30 Jahren vom Dach runter kommen aber immer noch Leistung bringen? 🤔

Zusammen mit Wolfgang Gründinger, zeigt unser Vorstand @sbamueller, zweihorn Energy euch, wie sie zu #Balkonsolar upcycelt werden!

Friendly reminder: Everything that this new #OpenAI camera assistant / modell can recognize and diagnose will be in shortterm future in all #cameras in public spaces everywhere …

@utzer ohne auf deine Frage einzugehen, möchte ich dir in typischer Linux Manier eine Alternative vorschlagen 😀 . Ich liebe mydumper, myloader. Das kann parallel arbeiten und mit automydumper hast du eine komplette Backuplösung https://automydumper.github.io/

What's (open source) maintaining?

I wish I could tell my ten year old self reading Omni Magazine and sci-fi short stories that in 2024 shit will actually get a little weird, like that time solar flares caused our robot tractors to not plant seeds at the right time, jeopardizing our food system https://mastodon.social/@jasonkoebler/112428406876457168

This is how we throw a party in the terminal! 🎉

One of the things that the Stack Overflow brouhaha demonstrates is that it doesn’t matter if a service was founded by people trusted by the community (Atwood and Spolsky) and was broadly community-led. If it’s a VC-funded startup, they will sell out their users at some point.

Today, 16 years ago, Debian published a security advisory announcing CVE-2008-0166, a severe bug in their OpenSSL package that effectively broke the random number generator and limited the key space to a few ten thousand keys. The vulnerability affected Debian+Ubuntu between 2006 and 2008. In 2007, an email signature system called DKIM was introduced. Is it possible that people configured DKIM in 2007, never changed their key, and are still vulnerable to CVE-2008-0166? https://16years.secvuln.info/ 🧵
