Canonical, maker of Ubuntu, donated $120,000 to open-source projects, highlighting the importance of supporting smaller developers.
They use the thanks.dev platform to recognize vital tools that power their operations.
This initiative underscores the need for big #tech to invest in the open-source community.
#Canonical should make this an annual commitment to foster recognition and support for the heroes of software development.

High-Ranking Diplomat Found Dead Days After Being Arrested on Suspicion of Spying
I've written a blog post about how Amazon S3 security demonstrates limitations of LLMs in cloud security. This mastodon post acts as an anchor for comments on the blog post.
The gist of it is this: Amazon S3 has encrypted objects at rest automatically, by default since January 2023. Not only is there nothing for you to do to make your objects encrypted, you can't stop objects from being encrypted. All you can do is choose keys. 17 years of blog posts and documentation saying you must DO something to encrypt your data at rest means that LLMs will give you incorrect instructions on S3 security. Probably forever.
It reiterates my point: You can't use an LLM to do something that you don't know how to do without the LLM.
Amazon S3 Shows How LLMs Get Things Wrong | Paco Hope
Ask an LLM for any information on how to do security in Amazon S3, and you’ll get a bunch of crap. There just happens to be this one change to how S3 works that shows clearly the effect of frequency on LLM training data.blog.paco.to

Ora devo solo trovare un'idea per il fine settimana di Pentecoste (7-9 giugno).
Io e il mio compagno vorremmo fare una breve vacanza, indifferente dove (CH o IT) ma non abbiamo molte idee. Considerato che:
- abbiamo un budget ridotto
- lui sabato lavora fino alle 15:00 in zona Lugano
- Lunedì dovremmo essere di ritorno per le 18:00
- vorremo evitare km di coda al Gottardo/dogane
- io vorrei visitare una città, qualcosa di storico o culturale
- lui preferirebbe relax tipo SPA.
Avete dei suggerimenti?
Vacanze separate? 😁😁😁
Oppure, tu a spasso per Firenze e lui alla Grotta Giusti dalle parti di Pistoia (un'oretta d'auto) oppure al centro benessere Asmana (nelle immediate vicinanze di Firenze).
Belle idee, ma Firenze è un po' fuori mano visto che non abbiamo tanto tempo a disposizione.

The image shows a white label attached to a gray surface, likely part of an electrical enclosure. The label is a Square D by Schneider Electric Cabinet Front, with the issue number MO S01 and a mains rating of 240V. The label includes a warning about the hazard of electric shock and advises following instructions for safety.
The label has a table with columns for numbers, room names, and circuit descriptions. The numbers range from 1 to 20, with handwritten notes in some cells. For example, cell 1 lists "2ND FIR Bath," cell 2 "BEDROOM/El139," and cell 3 "3rd FL Rec." The label also includes a UL listing mark and a note indicating it is made in the USA.
The label is designed to help identify the circuits and their corresponding rooms or devices within the electrical system.

Ogni tanto torno a scrivere qualcosa 😉
Ma non è cambiato granché: sempre periodo tosto, il lavoro continua a non piacermi ma almeno inizio a capire cosa sto facendo.
Dopo la cosa "grave" di qualche settimana fa, ho deciso di parlarne con un superiore che mi ha ascoltata e fatto capire che quel che è successo non è una novità e che il soggetto è già noto per comportarsi in modo scorretto. Presumo che non cambierà nulla, ma io sono ugualmente fiera di me.
Intanto ho consegnato la mini tesi per la verifica competenze del corso FIDE - e vado fiera anche di questo.
Settimana scorsa sono andata a correre lungo il fiume (+ esercizi del percorso vita, perché non mi andava di stare al chiuso in palestra.) dopo un lunghissimo periodo di stop... il ginocchio mi fa sempre male, ho corso lenta e per pochi chilometri.. ma porcamiseria quanto mi mancava!

"The California Privacy Protection Agency was under pressure to back away from rules it drafted. Business groups, lawmakers, and Gov. Gavin Newsom said they would be costly to businesses, potentially stifle innovation, and usurp the authority of the legislature, where proposed AI regulations have proliferated. In a unanimous vote last week, the agency’s board watered down the rules, which impose safeguards on AI-like systems."
