Ignaz Semmelweis - Wikipedia

"Hungarian physician and scientist of German descent who was an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures [...] He could offer no theoretical explanation for his findings of reduced mortality due to hand-washing, and some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and mocked him for it. In 1865, the increasingly outspoken Semmelweis allegedly suffered a nervous breakdown and was committed to an asylum by his colleagues. In the asylum, he was beaten by the guards. He died 14 days later" Punished for innovation.

If web browsers are in trouble if they don't have support from one of the world's largest corporations, then I'd suggest there is something fundamentally wrong. I want to produce a website without any html/css/js.

AI code suggestions sabotage software supply chain

: Hallucinated package names fuel 'slopsquatting'

[S]ecurity and academic researchers have found that AI code assistants invent package names. In a recent study, researchers found that about 5.2 percent of package suggestions from commercial models didn't exist, compared to 21.7 percent from open source or openly available models. Running that code should result in an error when importing a non-existent package. But miscreants have realized that they can hijack the hallucination for their own benefit.

Reviews of Three Colours: Blue tend to miss a key part of the film, in my opinion. Julie composes music with her husband, which he takes credit for despite her being the creative driving force behind them. When he dies, they are half way through composing a piece, so Julie feels she must stop writing the piece. But it doesn't work: she is literally haunted by the half-complete composition, and cannot stop new sections coming to mind. Her desire to stop composing is symbolic of her desire to escape her grief, and resolves when she agrees to finish the piece and put her name on it. The interplay between her grief and the unfinished composition is central to understanding the film.
