Blogging mostly about infosec and energy transition matters, but also following the Russian invasion of Ukraine closely.

I may be following people I don't condone, they just wrote something interesting at least once.

Extremely impressed by #GCC 14.1 static analysis (-fanalyzer). Not only really finding real bugs but enough information to convince oneself of the reality of the issue. A bit frightening on an old codebase.

Tour de France : comment la vitesse des coureurs a évolué depuis 1903

Vu la dimension technique, la moindre professionnalisation, le moindre dopage (?), etc. j'aurais imaginer encore plus d'écart entre les débuts et aujourd'hui.

@Camille_Poulsard ça serait plus impressionnant avec la puissance moyenne des coureurs. Comme il y a pas mal de résistances proportionnelles au carré de la vitesse, passer de 40 à 41 km/h de moyenne est beaucoup plus impressionnant que de passer de 30 à 31...

That's quite the smoking gun. For those who didn't follow, the UK post office used a faulty accounting software, and rather than investigating the software, even after being warned, accused people of stealing, leading to some cases of innocents thrown in jail and some suicides. I truly hope the people responsible for the coverup, starting with that Vennells character, go to jail, but alas elites are shielded from their actions... #horizon #uk

in my view people getting caught should not only be expelled from academia but give the grants money back (and go to jail if they can't). At this point this is basically scamming. #academia #ChatGPT

The Hacker News discussion on the subject have comments shedding more light on the issue. Another interesting one is the use of spinners on top of plagiarism, leading to hilarious examples such as "deep learning" being transformed in "profound learning". Academic publishing is really sick.

What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars I wonder why they included gas stations unless it's for their use as convenience store. Buying gas as a pedestrian is a very marginal use case...

Re-post: I would like to ask for your help.

As part of my dissertation project, I'm aiming to collect a large research sample to help construct a validated measure on Teacher Attitudes towards Multilingualism.

If you are a teacher (primary, secondary, tertiary education), and you teach multilingual students, could I please ask for 10 minutes of your time?

The survey is available here:

https://uofg.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6tZfFXjn5SD2PtA

Please boost—thank you so much!

@jaap @edutooters @academicchatter my wife, who is target demographic, stopped mid survey, puzzled at the one dimensionality expected of the answers to what are pretty complex questions (I am as puzzled)... Can't have absolute answers for things that are so context dependent, and I don't see what kind of knowledge can be extracted from such mutilated data.

@peterbrown @jaap @edutooters @academicchatter The question is clear. The answer is not outside of a context.

@redknight they do have an app. But people didn't feel like having one more app when Twitter seemingly did the job. It's Twitter going from suitable for the purpose to unsuitable the issue.

Reminder: Elon Musk intentionally shut down Starlink operations near Crimea last year to undermine Ukrainian naval drones

His decision came from calls with Putin

Why are my tax dollars making this man a billionaire?

Why is he allowed to openly collude with war criminals without the gov’t nationalizing starlink / SpaceX?

Why is he still receiving DoD contracts?

And why are wine mommies with 🇺🇦 🏳️‍⚧️ #Resist in their bio on Twitter?

Je suis assez effaré par la façon dont l'auteur (sans doute un freelance payé au lance-pierre) de l'épisode d'#AffairesSensibles apparemment plagié est jeté sous le bus par son animateur, tout de même (je pense) rédacteur en chef de l'émission donc responsable (je crois) des textes produits par son équipe.

Maintenant je lis que la directrice de France Inter étudie la possibilité d'attaquer le responsable en justice, mais le responsable... ce n'est pas le redchef ?

    @Gala le plus gros exportateur d'avocats et de loin c'est le Mexique (Amérique du Nord). Le deuxième c'est les Pays-Bas. Et la consommation d'eau à des endroits où elle ne manque pas est-ce vraiment un sujet? (surtout que la pluie qui tombe sur la parcelle compte dans les chiffres). Et mettre tout les sud-américains dans le même sac, c'est quand même ignorer la grande diversité socio-économique du continent et limite raciste.

    @Gala on ne peux pas parler de sécheresse à l'échelle d'un pays sauf si le pays fait la taille de Monaco. Les avocatiers au Chili ne sont pas dans l'Altacama. Et si, mettre toute l'Amérique latine dans le même sac c'est au niveau d'appeler tous les asiatiques des chinois. Et les avocats que je vois le plus sont kenyans...

    @Gala faut 1300mm par an. Ya des tas d'endroits où il est cultivé où il n'est pas irrigué, l'essentiel de la Colombie par exemple. Je ne dis pas qu'il ne faut pas être sensible à ça, mais il y a des généralisations plus que hâtives dans le post initial...

    @brohee@pouet.chapril.org avatar

    @Gala Les avocats colombiens ne sont généralement pas irrigués, ils sont plantés sur des versant bien arrosés des Andes. Ils sont en train de remplacer le café à certains endroits, café qui a un problème avec l'augmentation de température... La plus grosse région de cultivation et de loin c'est Antioquia, et je te laisse voir la pluviométrie mais pas besoin d'irriguer dans ces conditions : https://weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Rainfall-Temperature-Sunshine,Medellin,Colombia

    @Gala j'y suis juste allé... T'as quelques plantations qui irriguent mais c'est loin d'être la norme... Ceux qui le font c'est de la drip irrigation. Et ça ne pose pas de problème parce que l'eau tombe en quantité et régulièrement. Pas d'impact sur les nappes phréatiques ou les cours d'eau. On n'est pas dans la Californie qui fait des amandes dans le désert...
