🤦🏻♂️ Oh no... The line between a successful lunar mission and a $72 million piece of space junk can come down to a single line of code. 🚀 NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer mission just provided a painful lesson in systems engineering. Shortly after launch, a navigation glitch caused the spacecraft to lose its sense of direction. Instead of correcting its course, the onboard computer entered a loop that exhausted its entire fuel supply in less than a day. 😳
This wasn't a mechanical failure or a solar flare, it was a software error that prevented the craft from communicating with its own star trackers. When we build complex systems, we often focus on the big risks while ignoring the small, logical traps that can paralyze a machine. For the engineers who spent years on this project, it is a reminder that in space, there is no "undo" button for a bad update. 🌖
🧠 A logic error caused the craft to misinterpret its orientation.
⚡ The entire fuel reserve was spent trying to fix a non-existent course deviation.
🎓 Recovery efforts failed because the craft could no longer point its antenna at Earth.
🔍 This incident highlights the critical need for more robust hardware-in-the-loop testing.

Atlassian-Chef: KI ersetzt bei uns keine Menschen, aber wir feuern sie trotzdem
KI soll bei Atlassian keine Menschen ersetzen, sagt CEO Cannon-Brookes. Aber man müsse trotzdem 1.600 Leute entlassen, um Geld für KI-Investitionen zu haben.

Bericht: Finanzinvestor EQT erwägt Verkauf von SUSE Linux
Investor EQT könnte den Linux-Pionier SUSE verkaufen und dafür bis zu sechs Milliarden US-Dollareinstreichen. SUSE gilt als möglicher Gewinner des KI-Booms.
That's it, people. With lots of emotion I announce the first release of my first ever open-source desktop app. Who happen to know I'm blind will laugh (and I share that laugh, so feel free and don't hold yourselves): it's an image converter. I was in need of an accessible solution for well… converting images from one format to another and didn't find anything, especially that supported ICO needed, for example, for making favicons for websites.
Anyway, it's a dead simple and of course accessible #Windows app that can work with most popular image formats, can convert in batches, can do favicons, application icons, resize with keeping proportions or cropping as you wish (very useful if, for example, you need a photo of yourself but 128x128 pixels and not a pixel wider). You can paste images straight to the main window, and you can even paste direct links. It also supports detecting and downloading files that are stored in clouds (I tested with OneDrive).
Anyway, it's called SIC! (for the Latin word "Sic" and for "Simple Image Converter"). Oh, and it's multilingual, supports English, French, German, Ukrainian and Russian for now. And yes, you can use it as installed software or in portable mode, and it doesn't go to the Internet (only to check for updates), unless you add an image by link or prefer to update automatically. I reiterate: your images are converted on your device and don't go anywhere.

Von dieser Seite habe ich auch WinAmp 2.92
Läuft bei mir unter wine, aus rein nostalgischen Gründen.
Erinnert sich noch jemand an "Audiograbber" ? Eines der ersten Programme mit dem man Audio CD's in mp3's rippen konnte. Das Umwandeln einer CD dauerte damals bei mir ca. 1 1/2 Std.
