The ore mountains were mined for tin already 2500 BC, check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ore_Mountains
Re:About the Book: Solving the Bottom Turtle on Sunday October 11, 2026 @09:11AM (#50042988)
This book finally made SPIFFE, SPIRE, and even identity management in general finally click for me. I also really like the comparison with other identity technologies and how they can work together with SPIRE.

The first time in as long as I can think that a single physicist was chosen.

seems a bit of a stretch
agreed and fixed
Sorry for the heavy edit of the title, the original "Identity Management for Agentic AI: The new frontier of authorization, authentication, and security for an AI agent world" is much too long.
Re:Alternatives to MinIO for single-node local S3 on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @11:19AM (#49713887)
I'm still disappointed, that there is no S3 CNCF sponsored process. It seems to be such an important part of the cloud native ecosystem, every big use case needs some way to store blobs of data.

But no, I'm also not about to start one or try to make something like SeaweedFS a community supported project that has a chance to be picked up by the CNCF, so I'm part of the problem.

Re:Amazon Germany to Accept Wero on Wednesday August 05, 2026 @06:04AM (#49180671)
Great. Getting some of the big businesses to accept Wero is critical for its success. Now if only my bank would support it already.
Wikipedia has become a toxic place, at least for most political/partisan topics.

But if it really wants to be a community build site, it makes sense that a Co-Founder doesn't have any special rights. ("The irony is that not even a co-founder can edit it if he is attempting to implement his program of reform.")

Sorry for the heavy editorialising of the title, but it was really much too long.
The title implies that European air traffic is now controlled by this startup's software. But "We helped modernize a 15-year-old operational application in just over one month — compared to an estimated six months using conventional development approaches." sounds more like a system not involed in air traffic control was modernised.

Re:All Four Sentinel-1 Satellites Are Now Live on Sunday May 03, 2026 @10:03AM (#47997064)
You are right. It should be something like “Replacement Sentinel-1 Satellite is Live, Ensuring the Future of ESA‘s Copernicus Program”
Re:Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B · Hugging Face on Wednesday April 22, 2026 @09:45AM (#47863558)
According to (their own) benchmark, this is beating Opus 4.5. Hard to believe for such a small model.
So I guess OpenAI get's my money.
Re:OpenCode – The open source AI coding agent on Friday March 20, 2026 @05:41PM (#47461008)
I‘m a big fan of OpenCode. I’m mostly using it via https://github.com/prokube/pk-opencode-webui which I built with my colleague (using OpenCode).
Re:Waymo 13x safer than human drivers on Thursday March 19, 2026 @05:52PM (#47446809)
Yes, it's good enough. Because you cannot control who else is on the street around you. Having cars around you that are driving safer than the average is better than them driving average.
Re:ASML, Mistral AI enter strategic partnership on Tuesday September 09, 2025 @04:05AM (#45178957)
I'm also wondering this. It also doesn't seem to be a coincidence, that ASML is an integral part of the semiconductor value chain.
Re:Denmark to raise retirement age to 70 on Monday May 26, 2025 @01:46AM (#44094334)
IMO retirement isn't a long holiday but it's for people who cannot contribute to society anymore.

That point might be reached earlier for some people, e.g. those who have a hard physical job, than others and a general retirement age is an approximation for when that point is reached for the general population.
