‘Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza
Smoke rises after Israeli airstrikes in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip, December 28, 2023. (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90) In 2021, a book titled “The Human-Machine Team: How to Create Synergy Between Human and Artificial Intelligence That Will Revolutionize Our World” was released in English under the pen name “Brigadier General Y.S.” In it, the author — a man who we confirmed to be the current

Whether they’re building a new product or improving a process or feature, developers and IT leaders need data and insights to make informed decisions. When it comes to software development, this data exists in two ways: unstructured and structured. While structured data follows a specific and predefined format, unstructured data—like email, an audio or visual file, code comment, or commit message—
Putin hijacked Austria’s spy service. Now he’s going after its government
VIENNA — The coup began with the sound of a doorbell. Just after 8 a.m. on Feb. 28, 2018, Austrian police Commander Wolfgang Preiszler pressed the buzzer at the headquarters of the country’s domestic intelligence service and held his ID up to the security camera. Within minutes, dozens of his colleagues armed with Glock pistols and a battering ram fanned out through the building in bullet-proof ve
‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza
Smoke rises after Israeli airstrikes in several location in the Gaza Strip, October 9, 2023. (Atia Mohammed/Flash90) The Israeli army’s expanded authorization for bombing non-military targets, the loosening of constraints regarding expected civilian casualties, and the use of an artificial intelligence system to generate more potential targets than ever before, appear to have contributed to the de
Why is Common Lisp not the most popular programming language? | Hacker News
It's the lists.No, not the prefix notation, parenthesis, what have you, although that doesn't help. The lists themselves. In Lisp, code is data, and data is lists. Yes, of course, there are hashmaps, arrays, strings. But idiomatic Lisp code really does use linked lists extensively, it's an entire style of programming. Even if you'd prefer to use different data structures (and again, Common Lisp do
Cyberbullying Gone Global: Fediverse Spam and Operation Beleaguer
On February 15th, newly-created Fediverse accounts started posting spam messages from various instances, sending invites to a Discord server for a Japanese troll organization. This spam was widespread across the Fediverse. The posts frame ap12 from “KuronekoServer” as the culprit behind the operation. Looking at their spam content (in Japanese), it’s obvious that it’s not just any typical spam. An
5 Lessons I learned the hard way from 6 years as a software engineer

This article is going to cover the 5 biggest lessons I had to learn the hard way through feedback that surprised me. Each of these shaped the engineer I am today. Hopefully, sharing these lessons wit

Technology Trends for 2024
What O’Reilly Learning Platform Usage Tells Us About Where the Industry Is Headed This has been a strange year. While we like to talk about how fast technology moves, internet time, and all that, in reality the last major new idea in software architecture was microservices, which dates to roughly 2015. Before that, cloud computing itself took off in roughly 2010 (AWS was founded in 2006); and Agil

‘The Gospel’: how Israel uses AI to select bombing targets in Gaza
Israel’s military has made no secret of the intensity of its bombardment of the Gaza Strip. In the early days of the offensive, the head of its air force spoke of relentless, “around the clock” airstrikes. His forces, he said, were only striking military targets, but he added: “We are not being surgical.” There has, however, been relatively little attention paid to the methods used by the Israel D
There has been a lot of discussion about how many Product Managers (PMs) are required in a product team. This conversation gained momentum after Airbnb restructured their product management organization, followed by articles about how startups are thriving without any PMs. I agree that many companies hire too many PMs. As a result, PMs often fill their days with project management tasks and updati

Disagree and Commit
← all episodes Listen now “Consensus is cozy, but broad agreement is not our aim. The right decision is. Which is why we take the time to think, debate, persuade, listen and reconsider and then, someone, decides. If you disagree, that’s fine, but once the decision is made, it’s time to commit and support it completely.” Tune in as Kimberly leads a chat with Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson
Origins Over half a year ago (in April, to be exact), I eventually decided to learn Rust for good. My previous attempt during the 2022 AoC had failed rather quickly, after a few days of completing the exercises - I finally realized that I needed a real project to work on. For the last few years, I've been dealing with the different kinds of distributed systems (mostly using C#), including the typi
Modern technology has enabled the development and usage of storage, increasing the volume of information and data. As a result, data storage in recent years has been explosive. However, most of this data is untouched in databases and data lakes. For organizations and society to reap the benefits of collected data, we must interpret it. This requires high-level skills, where Data Science comes into

It's been almost 2 years since I moved to a team lead role, then to a full-time engineering management position after the expansion of our team. I've been a front-end developer for 7 years before that, and initially I took the "advanced individual contributor" career track before doing the management turnaround. How's it been? Bumpy, but fun. In this article, I'll share the things I love and hate
