Flipo muy fuerte cuando me cuenta mi hija, que está terminando 2º de Bachillerato, que ellos no estudian la caída del Imperio Romano.
Le pregunté si sabía quién fue Anibal Barca. Ni puta idea.
Lo he comentado en mi trabajo donde hay compañeros de 25-35 años y ninguno lo sabía ni lo habían estudiado.
Me hago muy viejo, a mi estas cosas me producen úlceras cerebrales.
Vamos, que el quesito marrón del Trivial Pursuit no lo consiguen si no es mirando ChatGPT, ¿no?
"The final report of the Expert Panel on the 28 April 2025 blackout in continental Spain and Portugal identifies the causes of the blackout and outlines recommendations to strengthen the resilience of Europe’s interconnected electricity system. It was prepared by a technical Expert Panel of 49 members, including representatives from Transmission System Operators (TSOs), Regional Coordination Centres (RCCs), ACER and National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs), and was chaired by experts from two unaffected TSOs.
The investigation concludes that the blackout resulted from a combination of many interacting factors, including oscillations, gaps in voltage and reactive power control, differences in voltage regulation practices, rapid output reductions and generator disconnections in Spain, and uneven stabilisation capabilities. These factors led to fast increases of voltage and cascading generation disconnections in Spain, resulting in the blackout in continental Spain and Portugal."

We know the next huge amount of money that Trump said he needs for the #IranWar, also known as #OperationEpsteinFury, but Trump thinks this is good deal considering what it is paying for, as this #PoliticalCartoon by Bill Bramhall shows:
@VaryIngweion la gente con la IA es como el Frente Popular de Judea con los romanos pero a la inversa: "Si, pero, aparte de inventarse respuestas falsas, destruir empleo, plagiar a los creadores, llenar los repositorios de ficheros tóxicos, emitir millones de toneladas de CO2, cargarse los acuíferos, encarecer la vivienda, aumentar el precio de la RAM y promover la concentración de capital y la desigualdad económica ¿puedo ser equidistante con esta moda y buscar formas de usar la IA éticamente?"

Trump's election showed how foreign despots can easily buy American elections, thanks to Koch's Citizens United.
Elon Musk got money from Alwaleed bin Talal & Putin to cheat out an election win for the GOP.
Koch spent years & billion to get "corporate personhood" & Citizens United to corrupt the US Supreme Court.
Fascist techbros are funding lobbying to get "AI personhood" next.

@mark The US is likely WAY behind on drones, both offensively and defensively, except for things like high altitude/long dwell time stuff like the MQ-9 Reapers. Our Navy is also way too small and has a poor mix of vessels for the type of wars of choice the US is now fighting. The M1 Abrams tanks have also not done that well in Ukraine, with almost all destroyed/captured at this point.

@mark One of the great weaknesses the US has is that we're geared towards incredible weapons systems with high unit costs and very limited production runs. We're not really geared to produce huge numbers of missiles, both offensive and defensive. We've got amazing man portable anti-vehicle systems like the Javelin, but small unit number have made it irrelevant in a conflict like Ukraine/Russia. They're using $500 FPV drones with high explosives attached to them.

"Google exigirá cesión de datos personales y pagos de 25 dólares por aplicación o esperas de más de 24 horas para instalar aplicaciones en tu teléfono móvil"
Este es el titular que debería moverse para lo que pretende hacer Google con Android, no tibios y oscuros "Google desvela su procedimiento avanzado para sideloading".
(Dicho sea de paso que congelar el precio de los alquileres, cuando ya están carísimos, no es una medida que vaya a tener mucho impacto.
El gobierno tendría que intervenir con mucha más decisión y contundencia en el mercado de la vivienda, pero eso casaría mal con su querencia por el rentista).

The reason I joined the Android team in 2010, and that since 2008 I’ve carried Android not iOS devices, was that I could just download software. And other people could download mine.
This new process is a massive breaking of faith with the community.
To be fair, every year or two Apple ratchets up the difficulty of downloading Mac apps.
The doors on every open platform are swinging closed, fast or slow. Capitalism is broken. Another reason we need to protect the Web.
Feaugh.
So the International Energy Agency is arguing that other than flying less & driving slower, the best bet for developed countries to dal with the upheavals in the energy market caused by the US/Israeli attacks on Iran (and Iran's reprisals) is to expand working from home...
There's a lot of managers who are going to be annoyed by such high profile advice (not least as it will save them little if any money, unlike their employees).

I got down from the bird and jumped onto the mastodon. Went from #science to software development, mostly #webdev.
