이게 골치아픈게, 신한카드 영업소에서 신규로 가맹점이 들어왔을 때 가맹점 대표자들을 대상으로 카드 영업을 하려고 휴대폰번호를 외부로 유출해 카드 영업에 사용하면서 개인정보가 유출된 정황이 드러났기 때문 -_- 이것들이 진짜 사람 정보를 공공재로 알아.

Firefox for Web Developers()、Officialと名乗っているけど認証リンクもないからと無視していたアカウントだったけど、今確認したところこれは`FirefoxDevTools@mastodon.social`から移動したアカウントで(ところで何故PascalCaseをやめたのか。アクセシビリティが悪化しないか?)、元のアカウントは<fxdx.dev/>からリンクされていて(`rel="me"`はないけど)、これは初出は分からないけど`fxdx.dev site:mozilla.org`でいくつかヒットするから、まあ信用できそうか

A short while ago I was explaining to a client the reason why his website has seen a very significant increase in load over the past few weeks. On many of the servers I manage, I see connections coming from residential users, yes, but mainly from unscrupulous AI scrapers that do not care about overloading everything. Someone on their side replied to me: "Wouldn’t moving everything to the cloud solve the problem? I mean... autoscaling!"

That sparked a somewhat "conspiratorial" thought. Some colleagues have told me that, with the recent surge in AI bot traffic, their costs have skyrocketed. Given how much money is being spent, and not earned, on AI, are we really sure this is not, in some way, planned or at least welcomed as a way to increase costs for end users of cloud services and funnel them into AI budgets?

Europe is making a list, checking it twice… and upgrading its trains to high-speed – nice! 🚄

While you are sipping hot chocolate, we are cooking up 200+ km/h rail magic:

✨ Faster journeys: Berlin → Copenhagen in 4hr instead of 7hr
🚆 New routes: Lisbon–Madrid–Paris and Tallinn–Riga–Vilnius–Warsaw
🌙 More night trains for long trips
🎫 One ticket for your whole journey, and easier booking across borders

By 2040, your holidays might just start on the rails.

👉 link.europa.eu/hDyYBG

A watercolour-style illustration depicting a sleek, red and white high-speed train, labelled "EU Holiday Express in the making," speeding out of a swirling, abstract representation of the blue European Union flag with its yellow stars. In the background, there are snow-covered Christmas trees and picturesque, snow-dusted houses. The EU logo is also visible in the bottom right corner.

When I jump from a github email notification link into a browser, github shows me the „too many requests“ error page.

Because I am not logged into GH on my phone.

So I am treated like an AI crawler.

By Microsoft. To protect itself.

seeing a very interesting LLM psychosis case brewing on Twitter, this one guy David Budden (a well-respected programmer, former Director of Engineering at DeepMind) is convinced he can solve Millenium problems with bounties just by using LLMs and feeding DAGs into them (seemingly), and experienced mathematicians are trying to loot him by tricking him into 5-figure bets (based).

he's released a bunch of proof papers so far, and he's lashing out at anyone speaking against his proofs and demanding they provide a long clear explanation of why his results aren't valid (most of it is him declaring new axioms), even as he admits he is not a math guy.

is LLM psychosis a real thing or do LLMs really appeal to people already having a tenuous grasp on reality

I shouldn’t have to say this, but please don’t post direct links to the elementary OS ISO, especially on release day. This is my only form of income and I really don’t make a lot of it. I want to keep making elementary OS as my job, but when you bypass our pay-what-you-can ask it cuts directly into the revenue I rely on to pay rent and buy food. The vast majority of people already pay nothing when they download. Please don’t take away the biggest opportunity I have for folks to support my work
