Amid worsening humanitarian conditions, the once-ambitious hopes of Palestinians in Gaza, dreams of a better future, prosperity, and reconstruction, are gone. In their place are basic human needs: securing flour, food and water, obtaining tents to shield them from the cold, accessing medical care, and simply surviving bombardments.

For Palestinians like Sanaa, hope for the new year has been reduced to a daily struggle for survival.

“If life is written for me, I will try to fulfil my mother’s dream that I be outstanding in my field and generous to others,” said Batoul, a second-year university student studying multimedia, who is currently living with her uncle and his family.

“Life without family,” she said, “is living with an amputated heart, in darkness for the rest of your life, and there are so many like that now in Gaza.”

Unlocking the mysteries of Easter Island stone statues

Easter Island, a Chilean territory known as Isla de Pascua in Spanish and Rapa Nui by native inhabitants, is a remote volcanic piece of land in the Pacific Ocean.

It is home to almost 1,000 giant stone structures known as Moai, sculpted hundreds of years ago in tribute to local ancestors who experts say date as far back as the 13th century.

X에서 AI 이미지 편집 기능을 추가해 여러 논란을 불러일으키고 있는데 최근 xAI의 그록이 CSAM(아동 성착취물)을 생성한 사건이 발생 X측에서는 “100% 안전한 시스템은 없다”라고 답변했지만 고급 필터와 모니터링을 통해 예방할 수 있는 걸 생각하면 궁색한 변명이라 생각 또 로이터가 이메일로 논평을 요청했을 때, xAI는 "레거시 미디어의 거짓말"이라는 메시지로 응답한 걸 보면 평소 머스크의 회사다운 행보

아직 우리나라에서 SF소설은 부족하다. 더 많이 나와야한다. 스터전의 법칙에 따라 세상의 모든것의 99%는 쓰레기다. 그렇다면 한국 SF의 99%도 쓰레기여야 하는데 내가 보기에 그렇지 않다. 한국 SF소설들은 1%에 해당하는 작품들이 대부분이다. 이는 'SF=공상과학=허무맹랑"이라는 세간의 인식을 향한 오랜 투쟁의 산물이라 할 수 있겠다. 이미 다른 곳에서는 인정받은 하나의 문학 장르를 다시한번 인정 받기 위해 스스로 사유하고 고뇌한 결과인 것이다. 그렇게 때문에 역설적으로 한국 SF는 아직 부족하다. 양적으로 말이다.

PS5のセキュリティを司るBootROM鍵が流出、ソニーによるパッチ対応は不可能か

PlayStation 5の起動時、スタートアッププロセスが走るよりも前に最初に起動する「BootROM」コードのROM鍵が外部に流出したことが報じられています。これが本物だとすると、PS5の安全性は根底から覆されることになるのですが、PS5の心臓に相当するAPUに直接書き込まれている内容であり、あとから変更することができないため、話題を呼んでいます。

Linux kernel security work

Link: kroah.com/log/blog/2026/01/02/
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

Linux kernel security work

Lots of the CVE world seems to focus on “security bugs” but I’ve found that it is not all that well known exactly how the Linux kernel security process works. I gave a talk about this back in 2023 and at other conferences since then, attempting to explain how it works, but I also thought it would be good to explain this all in writing as it is required to know this when trying to understand how the Linux kernel CNA issues CVEs.
