There is a story told about David Ben-Gurion and the work week.
In the early days of the State of Israel, a proposal was brought to him that Israel should standardise on a five-day work week. His answer was that we should first try working one day, then two, and slowly work up to five days.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Around 2,000 companies and China's foreign exchange platform that use two data centers in Asia are seeing a number of their login passwords being offered for sale by hackers. Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up changing passwords

I have always been fascinated by .NET’s StackOverflowException. It’s interesting because it’s fundamentally different from most other exceptions—you can’t catch it with a try/catch block. Is that the exception you get when you copy/paste code from the web?

Windows 11 is great overall, but there is no denying that it is on the heavier side of the operating system spectrum, not to mention steep hardware requirements and tons of unnecessary components. Is it just 'install Linux'?

The first global Summit on Responsible Artificial Intelligence in the Military Domain (REAIM) was held last week, leading to countries signing an agreement to put the responsible use of AI higher on the political agenda. Well. That's all solved then.

"After her best friend died this programmer created an ai chatbot from his texts to talk to him again" [^] ... now ...
Replika has had to put in filters that disable "love relationship/erotic" content users are used to. And, the company now characterizes an ad campaign that "teased" such content as accidentally released "betas." [^]
conclusion: back-tracking = denial + life imitates art.
