To be fair: while critical (9.8) it has an EPSS score of <1% (probability of it being actually used). According to [1], [2], and others, at worst the issue results in a kernel crash or a denial of service. I read the post by Anthropic too, but something just doesn't reconcile there between everyone saying its a DoS, and Anthropic alone claiming RCE. So far the advisories I read state "under specific conditions ... result in a kernel crash" and similar.

When you change the language you are essentially moving to a different Wikipedia site, so yes it does - it pulls the results from the local site you are on.

Same for "AI". LLM is about the only kind of AI we talk about now, so the two blended. Nothing dramatic I guess, but it bothers me when tech people, who are supposed to know the difference, confuse the two.

There are more details on the official website [1] and in the official video [2]

I already love it. The infotainment is proudly named Radioën. They made the champignon pedals!, although I am not sure this will be kept in the production model due to regulation. The seats will definitely need headrests in the 21st :)

And there is a van model. I doubt that one will be a commercial success, though.

This reminds me of a story how Deep Space 1 was fixed from 100 million miles-away. [1]

I think it depends on the building. A typical inner Paris office (converted Haussmann building) won't have it usually, but traditional larger offices I have been to have sockets like this one for example: https://www.legrand.fr/pro/catalogue/triple-prises-de-couran...

> My office was wired with two sets of electrical sockets, one connected to grid mains and the other connected to the UPS (for important equipment only).

This I think is a standard practice in any large office building in France (Europe? Global?) too, regardless of the frequency of the power cuts. I don't remember witnessing any power cuts in the office (not since long ago anyway), but in most of the places there are systematically white and red sockets, red ones being powered through a UPS. So, server machines go into red ones. Well, we don't have servers anymore, but the sockets are still there anyway. Hopefully UPS too, LOL.

Does anyone have a real-world usage feedback on this model? Because the benchmarks look, I would say, too good: it scores even higher than Qwen 3.8 27B in some benchmarks - I am not even sure how is it possible. So the question is if this is benchmaxxing or is it actually good for practical usage like coding in complex projects, research, etc.

I will write you every day.

(I suppose people downvoting this don’t know the reference. Way to make us feel old :) )

Thank you, sir.

I am still not sure if the joke was bad or if everyone takes everything too seriously nowadays.

Don't give 'em more ideas! :)

Oh boy, this is sooooo addictive.

Look, I don’t mind it but let us know - are you training some model on our inputs ? :)

That’s bad hardening. You are not supposed to use your root account for everyday work.

Pun intended?

I absolutely love it, and this correlates perfectly with Polya's math problem solving [1] combined with Fail Fast [2] .

Very nice post, I love computer history and lore and this fits just right!

I would also add ZX Spectrum keyboard with all the keywords on it. G/GOTO, L/LET, P/PRINT etc. Was lots of fun.

We should have engraved common actions on the keys when we could, before every software invented its own set of keyboard shortcuts.

Somewhat related: I live in France but have learnt computing on a QWERTY US keyboard back in the days, not AZERTY. As a result the only keyboard layout I can use without losing my sanity is a QWERTY US MacBook with a Canadian layout - I have my Q right where I want it, Enter key is lined up in the middle row, # $ % * are there for coding, and all the accents é è à ^ ç are there too. Thank you, Canada.

In Europe, mostly suburban towns that grew quickly in the 60s and the 70s around the big cities to distribute the rapidly growing urban population, or in the outskirts of those cities, from what I have seen. Among related examples would be, I think, Evergrande, or countless abandoned molls [1], for example.

> Sharing information is an act of love

Most AI companies are not sharing it, though. They appropriated it and resell it.

I have visited quite a bit of small towns that were actively built I suppose in the 60-s, and often see abandoned ambitious or even grandiose projects like a park here, or a community center there - fully built but totally deserted now, often in ruins.

Every time I see those I also see the lesson - count your maintenance costs. It is a nice artificial water channel, yes, but will the city have the money to run it, clean it, supply water, etc.?

Of course I know that the original (real estate) developers did the cost analysis, but when you see those abandoned places - very much objectively you can conclude that they made an error. A miscalculation, or an error in judgement.

--

Back to software I think scope creep causes many problems: the team loses focus, can be demotivated by delivering the features no one needs, etc. - all real and serious problems. But ultimately it is the ever growing maintenance cost that has a real ability to annihilate all team capacity.

Everything we build, however high-quality it is, needs to be maintained and all projects should include this into their "run" phase budget. And growing maintenance costs only aggravate other scope creep issues.

And that's the tragedy of being the engineer/engineering manager/CTO even. Exactly like the post says, you don't get "promoted" for stuff you reject to do. I had countless occasions of successfully convincing product teams and boards to abandon or shrink the project, and although I am convinced it did good for the companies in the end - the engineering department ends up being a buzzkill :shrug: . I cope with it, but it never really settled with me. If anyone has the answer to how to approach this healthy I am very much interested in your experience.

Wow, I admit I didn’t know about this. According to my coarse reading of the news sites it seems like there was no association in fact, but I won’t insist on anything, I only learnt about this now.

>Sometimes when I find someone to look up to and admire, I later find out there is potentially some dark reality to them

I too feel exactly what you are saying. I also think that a lot of good role models are simply often among less visible people, sometimes less ambitious. I am not assuming any hard correlation between the two, though. And we also need to accept that we are all only humans, not infallible. Values are more important than singular acts (within reasonable acceptance limits of course).

Anyway. I strongly recommend reading what Bill Gates has to say about AI. I can be wrong, but based on your comment it seems to me that you may find it interesting.

Ha! I just checked it out (had to install IntelliJ for this!) and it is still there!!! "Help" -> "My productivity".

Honestly I don’t remember, but I think back then it was a built-in feature. But that was 2005 :)

I remember when I was using JetBrains IDE they had this feature that would list all shortcuts and IDE features and how frequently I use them. This was excellent for feature discovery. I would regularly check it out and scroll to the list of features I never used and try them.

I always wanted the same for Vim, zsh, etc.

A lot of this kind of choices are rather opinionated and personal preferences. But anyway, I think the closets thing I can think of is oh-my-zsh.
