The book that explains circuits without plumbing analogies. The Secret Life of Circuits is NOW SHIPPING from nostarch.com 🤩
The cover of The Secret Life of Circuits by Michal Zalewski, published by No Starch Press. It's a pop-art comic illustration of a red-haired woman holding a soldering iron like a cigarette, with a curl of smoke rising from the tip, against yellow and blue sunburst rays. Below the book, a yellow banner reads "Now shipping from nostarch.com."A comic-style illustration from the book of an old-fashioned high-tank toilet with a pull chain. A small wooden bucket hangs from the chain where the handle should be. The caption reads "Art based on Giovanni Organtini, 'A Flush Toilet Model for the Transistor,' The Physics Teacher 50, no. 4 (2012): 221."

Refuse services implementing mandatory age verification and just stop using apps implementing it. Losing users is the only thing that would make corporations act, ie lobby to politicians to implement better solutions. So it is time to leave @bluesky maybe, for @joinmastodon.org.web.brid.gy only.

If there is one company one should avoid like the plauge it is #Broadcom. Their refusal to at least show the specification the inner workings of their broadcom firmware and D11 engines is making millions of devices landfill instead of being reusable with #Linux. Far much worse than #Nvidia.

AI-läckage – dina chatbottar läcker din data till USA – välj Mistral om du måste
Molnbaserade AI-tjänster är en enorm risk för säkerhetsläckor, när de t ex tillåts läsa dina dokument, filer och rent av e-post. Amerikanska AI-tjänster är skyldiga att lämna ut data till amerikanska staten (vilket också skett via bland annat Google Translate), förutom att de kommer använda dina privata mail för att träna sina AI. Ska du absolut välja en molntjänst för AI, välj franska Mistral som åtminstone låter dina data stanna i Europa, följer GDPR och i fallet betaltjänsten inte tränar på dina data. Själv kör jag dock Mistrals mikro-AI Ministral lokalt när jag behöver exempelvis översätta privat e-post.
