Pendant 20 ans, on m’a dit que pirater les œuvres des artistes c’était le mal absolu et que ça allait détruire la culture, et maintenant on me dit que oh bon, les IA génératives, qu’est-ce qu’on y peut, hein, les gens vont s’en servir de toutes façons.

He is a computer safety researcher.

Wool, and layered clothing, for the win!
Finnish winters too are far less miserable with good socks, and shoes that won't let water in easily.
(Also, shoes that won't become slippery as hell when it is cold.)

If you are new to winter (e.g. moved from TX to WI) do yourself a favor and buy wool socks and thermal underwear. Yes it’s expensive. It is worth it. A good brand will last a long time. Buy a silk pair too if you can swing it.
Honestly just buy the best gear you can afford so you’re not miserable.

Old horsehair fishing nets from Brittany, once used to catch monkfish, are now shielding Ukraine’s frontlines from Russian drones. 280km of repurposed netting, sent by Kernic Solidarités, is being stretched across trenches and roads, forming traps that snare drones like flies in a web.

15 years ago, I said every social media founder should be forced to use and live with the default settings of their platforms. Now I would say that the AI founders should have their tools pointed at their families for a year before they can deploy them elsewhere.
I seem to remember whole congressional hearings about the terrible destructive force that is violence in video games and yet, there is a very strange quiet about an unregulated technology that coaches people to suicide.
There are no words for how evil this is
