2022: 40kg Ballast losgeworden. 20kg vor mir, alles im Griff. 2025: Kein Plan überlebt die Realität. 2026, Runde zwei: Wieder 20kg zum Ziel. Dieses Mal besser ausgerüstet. #LeonVsLeon

That stuff is not supposed to be able to see the Internet at all, and frankly appliances like that should be on an industrial automation bus like Modbus RTU based on RS485 or whatever. If anyone hacks into the controller you disconnect the cable and you're golden, worst case you have to set temperatures with the twist knob on the device and you lose monitoring for a while, but that is it. This is so unneccesarily self inflicted it's a joke.
BREAKING: Europe is under a massive cyber attack, with supermarket fridges and freezers in Belgium, Sweden, Luxembourg, Ireland, the Netherlands, Finland and Estonia all hacked today by raising temperatures to up to 50°C, destroying huge quantities of food, per Reuters. "Everything is destroyed," a sales manager in Sweden said, adding that "there has been a cyberattack and all our freezers reached 50 degrees." More than 40 supermarkets in Belgium and Luxembourg were affected. "I only have two words for them: wake up, please, because there's something going on," a store manager in Belgium said. This follows a similar cyberattack last month that hit hundreds of supermarkets in France, raising freezers as high as 80°C and causing major food losses. It also comes after freezers at 6 US military bases mysteriously malfunctioned, spoiling large quantities of food, which the Pentagon is investigating as a suspected cyberattack.

Refrigerators and freezers but they aren’t connected to the internet.
BREAKING: This morning’s cyberattack against supermarket fridges and freezers has now spread to Belgium, Sweden, Luxembourg and Estonia. The hackers increased the temperature up to 50C. Food worth millions of euros has been spoiled. Experts warn that such cyberattacks on supply chains and logistics can constitute a threat to national food security in many Western states.

ist dieses "Netto kaum weniger" mit uns hier im Raum?
Erfolgreicher Ingenieur (Mitte 30) will auf 4 Tage-Woche reduzieren. Als Single eh schon Spitzensteuersatzzahler schlägt nun die Erhöhung der Beitragsbemessungsgrenze zu. Bei 80% Gehalt hat er netto kaum weniger.

Warum sind diese fucking Supermarkt-Kühlungen eigentlich noch immer vom Internet aus erreichbar? Was machen die IT Security Leute dort beruflich? Däumchen drehen?

Don't get me wrong, Steuern und Abgaben sind zu hoch und ich sehe sofort das Leute statt mehr Geld weniger Arbeitszeit nehmen, aber die Story wegen BBM auf 80% reduzieren macht keinen Sinn. Man hat nicht kaum Netto weniger. In meinem Beispiel 600€ / Monat 7200€/Jahr also ca. 17% weniger.

I'm still pushing for a Nobel Prize for the Voyager team. Outlasted its mission by 45 years and counting. Incredible.

you’re hiding RAM under the floor board aren’t you?
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

Possible, but also: if i can burn through my weeks budget in 5 work days, that's fine by me.
Have a feeling Anthropic removed the 5-hour limits because people would wait for them to reset than pay for extra usage. But without those limits, people keep using it, exhaust their weekly limits faster, and now have to wait days instead of hours, making them more likely to buy extra credits lol.

I'm currently building and maintaining a complex tax software, the core is around 325k lines of mostly python code. My 3 leanings from this tax season: 1) Don't bother reading the code, understand each aspect in business (in my world tax terms / concepts) 2) Let the model figure out the implementation, but give it strict guidelines / boundaries 3) Be a architect
vibe coding is easy but how do you maintain a 70k line codebase?

Schon erschreckend, dass man als Neugründer in Deutschland z.B. beim Veröffentlichen der eigenen Website nicht zuerst an sein Projekt denkt, sondern Angst vor einer Abmahnung hat, weil vielleicht ein Satz falsch formuliert ist oder irgendeine Vorschrift nicht eingehalten wurde.

What happens with GPUs once dedicated accelerators (Cerebras, Groq) enter mass production? Will I be able to buy a 3090 for the price of an old server Xeon?

Man kann Elif Eralp und ihre Partei zu Recht heftig kritisieren. Sie bieten dafür genug inhaltliche Punkte. Das hier aber ist ohne Wenn und Aber blanker Rassismus. Einfach Rassismus.
